Waterloo is quite boring. Robyn and I went to see ‘The New World’. I think it’s the worst movie I’ve ever seen. We bumped into the missionaries on the bus to the mall… that was fun. They laughed at us when we said we were going to see a movie about Pocahontas.

I’ve done two of my six mid-terms so far. No marks yet.

I was bored yesterday afternoon so I cleaned my room and found my beadloom. http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c224/BrieBells/loom.jpg As you can tell by the size of the thing, I was really bored. Other than that there is nothing new in my life.

This blog is about our lives and to help us keep in touch. Life is good for me, nothing much exciting happening.

However the one thing I was thinking about it regards to this blog is the Florida family. I would love to hear what is going on down there. How are Ryan and Lillie doing is school? Any class trips coming up? How is Jeff working his crazy hours and the stake presidency? How is Evy and her college classes? Anyway I would love to hear more form everyone!

P.S. Evy I still don’t know my work schedule yet.. I am working on it.

Well, the first annual Wing Bowl was a tremendous success.  We started out with a slow-cooked roast beef dinner with french fries (no pizza and wings). After dinner we drew names for the competition.

Round 1 (Quarterfinals)

Mom played me (Graham) in Skip-Bo. I won.
Andrea played Dad in Uno Attack. Andrea won.
Julia played Nanny in Skip-Bo. Nanny won.
Lisa played Dad (he got to play twice since there was only 7 people) in Uno Attack. Lisa won (Dad isn’t very good at Uno Attack 🙂 )

Round 2 (Semifinals)

Graham played Andrea in Thirty-One for 15 minutes. At the end of the 15 minutes, they were tied and so the winner of that game won. Andrea pulled through to the finals!
Nanny played Lisa in Uno Attack. Apparently Lisa took advantage of the situation (Nanny having never played it before) and won.

Finals

Andrea played Lisa in Skip-Bo. There were 15 cards in their piles to start with, and near the end they both had one card on top with one card remaining in the pile. The first part of the game was very boring. It’s definitely not a spectator sport. But the last couple of rounds were amazing. We couldn’t turn away. During Lisa’s second last turn she managed to pick up 3 or 4 different hands. She was on a roll. Anyway, it came down to Lisa’s last turn, and she went out, just ahead of Andrea. Lisa was the winner!

Lisa won a DVD of the movie Lucas.

We look forward to Wing Bowl II…

Everyone is invited to the Wing family Super Bowl. Supper is at 5 pm and following that there will be a round robin  tournament for a fabulous prize! Long distance entries are allowed even from as far away as Waterloo, Toronto or Florida. The tournament will involve some form of card game so that everyone has a fair chance. Rest up for the tourney!

A guy asked for my phone number last night. I am sure Alisa remembers him… Chad. (Aka The Chad) We are hopefully getting together either next weekend or the weekend after. yea!!!

I am looking forward to the Winger Bowl.

This is the first weekend in a while where Jason and I don’t have anything going on. I’m very excited about that. We’re off to St. Lawrence Market tomorrow morning for a little grocery shopping (which I love anyway) and then the rest of the weekend is free, gloriously free. I’m planning on spending Sunday in my pjs baking. Place your orders for homemade goodies now!

What’s everyone else up to this weekend? Anything exciting?

I have no idea what I’m doing but I’ll be darned if this will get the better of me!! I have tomorrow off and will get my hair cut and clean the house. I got my T4 today so am looking forward to a big refund. Congratulations to my 2 daughters who have done so well on their tests.

Hello all. I have a few pieces of good news. Number one… I found my keys! I know no one really knew that they were missing, but this is very good news.

The other tidbit is the fact that I am working tomorrow! (This normally is not good news, but I have been working three days a week for four months now and the extra day is very exciting) Working Thursdays will not be all the time, but hopefully as the office gets busier Thursdays will be a regular part of my work week.

TaTa for now…

I wrote English and Math tests today. I got 90% on the English test but I don’t know yet about math. I’m anticipating 93.7%. On Friday I have to write an Economics quiz, an Accounting pre-test, and on Monday my Computers midterm. I know it doesn’t sound like anything big, but I prefer to do nothing. I’ll post again when I know some more marks.

By the way, thanks everyone for the birthday partay, food, and gifts.

Andrea’s FHE lesson tonight was Love One Another. At the end of it she had us play an activity called “Guess who loves me”. We were supposed to say something that someone in the family did for us (without saying who it was) and we were supposed to guess who it was. At first we found it difficult to think of things. With family, we often take for granted the loving, simple things we all do for each other. But when a person who isn’t in the family does it, we notice it more. Anyway, once we got going, we could think of all sorts of things that people had done for us (computer help, dinners, birthday parties, babysitting, helping move, feeding us/clothing us, etc).
