*High pitched vioce* Zoombinis!

So while I was in Vegas a couple weeks ago, Jessica and I somehow started talking about old video games and computer games that we used to play. One of those games was Zoombinis. It's a logic type game and you go through all these sorts of puzzles trying to save all your zoombinis that you create. Anyways, we got really excited and decided to look it up to see if it was still being sold somewhere and sure enough, at qualityinks.com there it was. For about $3! It was awesome. There's three different zoombini games and they were ranged from 3-8 dollars. So I got the two I remembered playing for a total (with shipping and handling) of $12.34. Who can beat that? So I got them in the mail about a week later and I beat the game in about an hour. It's just as I remembered...but a little easier. Anyways, buy it. Totally worth it.

Can you smell it now?

Afton, Maggie, and I were driving around town the other night just talking and stuff and as I cross one of the intersections I see something in the road and I didn't have time to move... I stopped in the middle of my story and freaked out because I ran over a snake. My first thought was "I can't tell Heather" because I know how sad and mad she would be. Then I start thinking about it and I'm like... I even heard it hiss and I ran it over. Then I felt even worse because it probably suffered. And to make everything better Afton tells me that sometimes they'll crawl in your engine (of course she was being sarcastic but at this point I was going to believe anything). So I was afraid to put my feet on the floor, but I had to suck it up. THEN, I think I can smell it and I kept asking them if they could smell it. I swear and I could. So I decided that we have to turn around and go look at it. We had to. So I flip a U-y(?) and we make our way back to the intersection.......I ran over a flat piece of metal. It had a little wave to it. So no, I didn't run over a snake, I didn't hear it hiss before it died, and I definitely didn't smell it. Sigh.


So the next day, while I was at work, Afton and Maggie bought a fake snake at Walmart, got ahold of my keys, and wrapped it around my steering wheel. Now he sits on my dashboard. :)

Busta...Short for Bustamove.

So in December, when Afton, Maggie, and I took a trip to the valley, Afton and I saw a guy in the mall playing with some toy that looked like an animal. It looked like a really small snake, but it had hair. But we knew it wasn't real, so we were tripping out. We ended up just walking off after a minute though. Well last night Maggie, Afton, and I were checking out of walmart and Maggie picks up this thing that came in a small container and I hear her say "Squirme?" I immediately knew what she was talking about and I was so excited. So I bought it. It's so entertaining. And this blog is probably making no sense at all, so I took a video as an example of what a squirme is. You'd love to have one.

Viva Las Vegas!

So Keith and I planned a trip for vegas a couple months ago to go see Jesscia, Troy, and the kids because it had been a while. We got there on Jan 2nd and picked them up from the airport (they came back from Alaska) and Lydie was so excited. I don't think she's ever held on to me that tight or that long. Best feeling ever. Jonah...he didn't really care, but I was very excited to see them both. After that we through the drive thru at Taco Bell. The man on drive thru duty greeted us in English then Spanish. So Troy, who went on a spanish-speaking mission, answered back...in Spanish. He even ordered what we wanted in Spanish, at least the things he could remember. Very entertaining.
The next day we spent just chillin at home. We played with Lydia's kitchen and all her new Christmas toys. I cannot believe how much she has grown. And Jonah was crawling all over and pulling himself up to whatever table, chair, and toy he could find. Him so big :) That night we went to the Belagio(sp), saw the fountain, and had some more taco bell. :)

Now it gets really good.

Troy had an interview in Texas and had to fly out Sunday morning and was going to be back Monday night. So Jessica and I were trying to find a way to convince my mom to let me stay an extra day and miss school, but whatever she said she had a comeback for. I get a text Sunday morning from her saying "check the roads and call the weather info". So Jessica and I immediately go online and we're calling hoping that the roads weren't very good. That's bad...I know... Anyways, they were bad. I think around Flagstaff there were 4 accidents and the roads from Kingman to Winslow just got worse and worse. So we got to stay an extra day :) It was awesome. I even learned a couple things while I was there: I can only have a limited amount of cookies and soda, and I hate the game Settlers.

Pete.

Sigh... So Shauna left me a list of things I could blog about so I can't have any excuses for a while I guess.. So one by one I'll check off her list, just not in order. This one will be about my new friend :) But let me start off by telling you that since they were invented, I've always hated PT cruisers. I always thought they were so ugly. I've also never been a fan of red cars, except on sports cars, that's okay. Well, a couple weeks ago I heard my mom yell at my dad saying "You bought THAT?!", I was instantly curious and made my way to her office. There it was. A picture of a red Pt cruiser and right away I knew it was mine. My dad won it on ebay "not expecting to win". But here it is now, and I love it. Also, let me point out, it's not red...it's DARK red. There is a difference, I promise. One is dark, one is not. Anyways, I love my little dark red pt cruiser. I just want to drive all the time, I feel like I just got my license again. It's the perfect size for me. Not too high, not to low. Just how I like it. (I know...that's what she said) Oh, and get this, it has a DRAWER underneath the passenger seat. Yes, a drawer. It's awesome. A friend mention that it could come in handy...but I knew what he meant. Anyways, when I decided to name it, the only name that came to mind was Pete. And I couldn't drift away from it. So yes, my cars name is Pete. I don't have pictures, but maybe I will eventually. Maybe. :)
