I am so proud--I made brussels sprouts for the first time! And they came out OK! Go me!!
...somehow, though, when I bought food, I ended up with stuffing, cranberry sauce, and brussels sprouts. I should've bought, like, a chicken breast. Or some rotisserie. Or something. Oh well.
Also, brussels sprouts + bacon salt FTW

So, we're taking my great aunt back to florida. my mother's brilliant plan involves an eight hour round trip drive and a flight that doesn't leave until 4pm on saturday.
she calls tonight (third call of the day) and says "what's the plan for friday" I discover that she hasn't made hotel reservations because she "didn't realize how the reservations worked" (umm, you made them? we talked about them before?) Sh claims "you're the driver, you make the decision" So, I say "let's just drive back and stay in a hotel" Of course, the idea of me making the decision is bullshit, because she goes on about how if we don't stay with my great aunt her feelings will be hurt. WHY DIDN'T SHE JUST FUCKING SAY THAT?!!?!? Just say "hey, I think that we should plan to stay with Aunt B on Friday night" Don't pretend that there's an option.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Ooh, I was already planning to watch the new Librarian movie and I didn't even know that there are going to be vampires.

Much to the dismay of my sister, it looks like my wee lil 8 yo niece will be buying herself a Nintendo DS. Anyone know of any good educational "games" for it? (I'd ask in the game thread, but I'm way too behind, and I figure a ton more parents are in here). She's got enough game-games, but we need to work on her reading comp level and math skills. I know, I'm evil Uncle, but hey! It takes a village to raise a kid, or something.

Omnis, there is a game called my word coach and there are a couple of brain age games. I'm not sure how good they are, but I have come across them when buying DS games for the nephew.

Our wings are not tired.
Where are you going in Florida, Vortex? Also, I honestly believe you would look fabulous in the orange jumpsuit, but no killing of the maternal one.
Woo! GC! Celebrate!
In stupid body news, I woke to an ouchy UTI. Always in the past I had a twinge of warning and drowned them before they happened, but no warning this time. Eating pineapple at the moment. Another mom picked up Brendon and took him to school for me because I didn't want to drive. Ouch.

“Not dead yet!”
omnis, I'm asking Lewis, who manages a Game Stop, and his suggestions are Brain Quest (this has 2 different games, one for 3-4th grade, the other for 5-6th, so you may have to look to see which would be more appropriate), Big Brain Academy, the My _________ Coach series, Brain Age, although it skews a little older.
If you need more suggestions, just let me know and I'll ask him.

omnis, I'm a big fan of Kakuro for encouraging number skills (and addition), and I see they've got something called Sudokuro (can't believe that site isn't blocked!) for the DS. Mind you, this is essentially a paper-and-pencil puzzle translated to the screen just for the sake of having it on the screen, but it might be worth a try.
(I have my drafting classes do Kakuro now, since they at least need to be able to add quickly.)
