Thursday night adventure

Did you know that there's earth beneath that cold, white stuff? Yup, I saw it with my own eyes! It's a gray/brown mix, but it's under there! Just imagine! Soon those sprouty things, called "plants" will get bigger and greener. Yes "green", what an odd sounding word. Too bad we are expecting about 6+ inches of white stuff to fall tonight/tomorrow. I seriously thought the weatherpeople were trying to pull one on us. But no, we have a batch on its way to drop all over place. bleh*
Here's an odd one: my cat Pidy has increased his time spent playing in his water dish. He prefers to lick the water from the sides of the bowl so he takes his oversized paw and hits the side of the bowl and slaps at the water, splashing it all around. I have seen him do this but he's increased the time spent doing this. Odd cat. I suppose it is better than snacking on my tulips when I am asleep.

We had a great time tonight. DH, my son, daughter and I went to watch a game at the Portland Civic Center: the Harlem Globetrotters! Do you see that little funky looking "x"? That is where we parked. Now the Civic Center is circled red, that is about where we were when I realized I left my camera in the car, so that would put it under that "x". There are no pictures. I never get pictures of the things we actually do. Like when we went to the Seadogs game. I took pics and bumped the camera and lost them all. Or when we go to Funtown (*cough, every year!)I never remember to take the camera. So it seems like we don't do anything except stay home. When in fact we do, it's just the camera is usually at home!
Anywho.....We had a great time. Stopped for Subway on the way there for dinner. Then headed over and got to catch the pregame show and everything.
The only souvenirs we bought were a set of wristbands. I know, it sounds cheap but it was the best idea there, so each of the kids could have one. It's embroidered with the team name. This way they can wear them to school or where ever. And it was one of the few things there for under $20. Okay, so I am cheap! Who runs out of hacky sacks anyways???
The best part is that kids have no school tomorrow due to a Teacher Workshop day. So staying up as late as they did tonight won't hurt them tomorrow. They can sleep in (ha, ha) and ;) recover.

Maybe the mail carrier will bring my goodie tomorrow. I ordered a(n) chart by My Mark designs called "Be Silly,etc". I had seen it stitched up on a blog I think...... Once it arrives I will take it off my wishlist. I am very careful about that. Don't want a stash jinx.
