"Draw Four"

I woke up at 5:50 this morning. It has been a LONG time since I have gotten up that early. Since I worked nights for a year I am much more use to getting up at 3:00pm, then 5:50am. Everyone says that your body gets use to early morning wake up, and I hope they are right. The walk was good, but chilly. Our goal is to walk at LEAST 4 days a week. As long as we don't let each other off the hook, we should be ok. I was lucky and got to go home and back to bed which felt oh so good. My sister wasn't so lucky.

This is a picture of my husband playing on his Xbox 360. He is playing UNO with his friend in Seattle. They both have a camera attached to their
Xbox as well as a head set so they can hear each other. It is fun to watch them play. It is best to watch when they aren't partners because there whole goal is to mess the other one up and talk trash. It usually leads to a very long game.

I definitely enjoy the Xbox 360 over the old Xbox , first, because Sammy is so happy with it, and second, wireless controllers. If anyone has lived with someone that plays video games, they know what I am talking about. I hate the cords that are stung all over the room when he is playing or worse yet, when he has friends over to play. With wireless controller our living room looks cleaner, and less like an obstacle course. There are still days that I want to throw the Xbox out the window, but most days we are ok with each other.

I also took a trip down to Yaki-vegas with my sister. I have been very lucky to spend extra time with my sister. Normally I feel like we are ships crossing in the night because we both tend to be so busy. It was much easier to get together when I lived with her. Anyway, Yakima was fine. We were just making a quick Borders trip. It is a pain to have to drive 40 minutes away to find a book store, but that is the price you pay to enjoy small town living. Bookstores are the main thing I miss about Seattle. I loved being able to go chill in B&N, to read, study or just to escape.

I am now going to relax on the couch and anticipate my Monday night shows, Heroes and Studio 60. If anyone out there watches Heroes, I would love to talk plot theories... "Save the Cheerleader, Save the World"

That is the coolest picture of Sammy. Will you tell Sammy that I want him to get Ken an X-box for Christmas please, then I can play UNO on it. That would be my favorite video game for sure! See you at 6am. xoxo
