Oh, the blahs of January.
I don't have much to say, so I will introduce Pearl, the eight year old tale-less, fat cat. Boy 13 loves to take pictures of her.
I watched the Australian Open finals last night. Why? I have no idea, but it was interesting. I was completely ignorant of the rules and procedures of the game. All I did know was Love means Zero. My husband patiently explained all about the sets, games, faults, deuce, advantage, etc. Wow. It seemed so complicated. I think he was a little surprised at my naivete. Kind of surprising that I once took tennis lessons. Obviously, not a good student. Like all other sports, I sucked at it. Serena is a powerhouse. What thighs! Maria: lots of little rote movements, like the hair behind the ears, and the little hop jumps.
Other than that, an uneventful weekend. We picked out a new sofa for the playroom. Boy13 had two rather large friends over last weekend who plopped down on the (cheap) futon and busted the frame. I'm trying to finish a couple of books, and going to play games with Jen and Becky in a nearby town. I think they said Finkelmeister and Block something are on the docket. I'll give a report tomorrow (if I get my statistics homework done). I know Pat is going to make me bacon, eggs and fried potatoes tomorrow morning, and I am so excited. Boy 13 has friends over to play "Diplomacy". I'm not really sure what that is, but sounds like a cross between Risk and Dungeons and Dragons. Does anyone know?
Well, I have to get upstairs and clean my left contact lens out, something is killing my eye.

I had to laugh about you and tennis, Susan, because I have to re-learn all the terms and rules every year...and I, too, took tennis, in college. If you don't use it you lose it!
Anyway, the BIG thing about Serena winning (besides her thighs) is that she was seeded 80-something in this Australian tournament and came out to win the whole darn-tootin' thing. She does that! Unbelievable.
Anyway, it sounds like you're keeping yourself busy. :)
I do respect Serena. She is utterly focused.
Yes, he looks like mine! He's not that fat! Get him chasing those red laser lights along the floor or a toy called, Cat Dancer! Mine Love those.
