Good Grief

TV has to be the most boring thing on the planet right now. If the best show one can find on Monday night is "Clash of the Choirs" then something is wrong. Thank goodness for SoapNet. haha

This past weekend was fun. I had 2 Christmas parties I went to...one for my work and one for the dance studio. At my work Christmas party we played this game where you have five $1 bills and you roll the dice according to how many dollars you have and if you roll a 1-3 then you keep your money...roll a 4 it goes to the person to your left and a 5 goes to the person on your right and well, a 6 sends a dollar to the table. Well after a lot of money swapping and losing, etc it was my mother who ended up with the $70 winnings! I said, lets go to Vegas NOW. haha Anyway, it was something new we played and it was fun. Anything would have been better than Tabu! haha Which, by the way, I rock at. One year my bosses wife (who also happens to be named Dawn) was giving the clues and she said, "Cher" to which I reply, "Mask" and it was the right word. They had to stop the timer because they couldn't believe that I would guess that and they just knew we cheated. I said, "It just so happens that movie, "Mask" was on TV earlier and I was watching it so it was fresh on my brain. The other Dawn laughed and said, "I was watching the same movie!" See, great minds think alike! ha! For the studio party we went to some Tapas Bar. It was ok, but seriously why do people want to spend some exuberant amount of money for the smallest amount of food in the world? I'm not saying it wasn't good, but it's definitely some place I wouldn't go again. And I went home hungry. So I had some veggies and ranch dip when I got home! I did learn one thing though, if your baby is crying because of an upset stomach, rub peppermint extract on its tummy and apparently it soothes them and they stop crying within like 20-30 minutes. I'll file that up in my brain and if I ever have a child I'll be sure to use that!

Well, that's all I got today!
