  1. I signed up to run a half marathon this Saturday.
  2. I’m not even nervous – yet.
  3. My daughter asked if Josie was going to be a Saint Dane.
  4. Yes, I think she will forever now be a Saint Dane.
  5. Even though she looks absolutely nothing like a Saint Bernard nor a Great Dane.
  6. THANKFULLY!
  7. I’m am practically a master player of Plants vs. Zombies.
  8. Except that I have to actually have possession of MY VERY OWN IPAD in order to play.
  9. The split second I put it down, my kid takes it, and when she doesn’t have it my husband does.
  10. Should a zombie attack our house, we would know what to do.
  11. The zombies wearing buckets on their heads need a triple tap, while those with orange road cones only need a double tap.
  12. Of course, I’m not sure where we’d find all of those attack plants.
  13. Do you think Stein’s carries a peashooter?

  The Playstation 3 game of the day is LittleBigPlanet. Zoe was playing this morning while she was waiting for the bus.

  MOM DO YOU WANT TO TRY?

  It looked like a version of Super Mario Bros. — a game that I actually know how to play — so I tried it. All I had to do was jump from one ledge over to another ledge. How hard could it be?

  

  But first Zoe had to show me how to use the controller.

  YOU WIGGLE THIS THINGY AND THEN PRESS THE SQUARE AND THE X.

  What???

  
  

  I cannot jump over that ledge. I had to replay the level, which meant that I started over and had to make my little SackGirl jump and grab this flying bird thing up to the ledge and then lean over far enough to gain momentum to actually land on the ledge.

  MOM. DON’T GET FRUSTRATED YOU’LL GET IT.

  I was not getting frustrated. Unless of course waving the controller in front of me with arms outstretched in the direction I needed to swing over while pressing any and all buttons that resembled a square and an X could be taken as frustration.

  My husband’s birthday is next week. He’s expressed the desire to have a blue-ray DVD player — specifically the Playstation 3 kind. Today we visited Best Buy and he got to pick one out. I almost fell over at the price once they added the extra wireless shock controller, HDMI cable, and a total-guy-shoot-em-up-game. Video gaming is NOT cheap. But he’s happy.

  AND I convinced him that his birthday present needed to roll over into his Christmas present too. That’s one person crossed off my shopping list.

  Anyhow, I had to go pick out wine for the holiday wine extravaganza for wine club tonight and he was so in love with me, and a little drunk from the PS3 that he said, “you can go for drinks at Balzac if you want”.

  Well, okay. IF YOU INSIST.

  So Freckles and I picked out a full case of wine and then proceeded over to Balzac for a drink. Or two.

  And then I called my husband to let him know where I was and my ETA. He said: “CAN’T TALK! THE WORLD IS DEPENDING ON ME! G’BYE!”

  click. dial tone.

  Um, yeah.

  Dear World, Don’t you worry, my husband’s got your back.
