No more moves

Confession: I am hopelessly addicted to Mahjong.

It all began when my husband left for a week for Scout camp, so I was suddenly forced to entertain myself. Also, we had canceled Netflix the week before. Also! Holed up the basement, we don’t get TV channels.

Need I explain more?

Last night, I was playing game after game using the touch pad of my laptop, and things were not going well. I think I lost over 15 games in a row.

I mournfully turned to my husband.

Heather: No more moves! And my Majhong finger is sore!!!!!!

Later, in bed:

Heather: No more moves!!!

Dustin: So we’re still on the Majhong thing? Maybe you should

Heather: Stop playing?

Dustin: No, I know that’s impossible. I was going to say that maybe you should use a better strategy.

"The moral of the story is that I'm glad you're not a child molestor."

Highlights from church yesterday:

-A three-year old showed up in a floor-length princess gown and sneakers that lit up every time she stepped, Quite the classy combo.

-I asked my seven-year old class to name prophets that they knew of from the Bible. One girl said President Lincoln.

This and that

Tonight Dustin and I decided that if we become really poor, we'll be like the Weasley's. Except no Percy...and not as many children.

Dustin bought me a gigantic box of fruit snacks for Valentine's. The man knows what I like.

Coworker: How many hours are you working?
Heather: This week I'll hit 70.
Coworker: That's not too bad.

Oh, my job...

My baby you'll be

One night when Dustin and I were dating, we meandered over to Barnes & Noble to read some children's books. Naturally, I marched to this book and declared that it must be read:

And so we did. One of us may or may not have gotten all misty eyed while reading it. (But I'll never tell you who! Never!)

Go grab a copy and read it with your child or mother and weep.

I got a $10 gift card to Barnes & Noble for doing a survey, so I'm about to add this book to my library. Because the only thing better than getting this book is getting this book for free.

Sharing is caring

Dustin and I took our relationship to a new level today. He accidentally put in one of my contacts.

He lives under a rock

Recently at work, I told my coworker that I was excited for the Harry Potter movie to come out. He told me that he never read the books, and only watched the beginning of the first movie.

Coworker: And then I fell asleep, and when I woke up Harry was trying to get some crazy stick.

(pause of pure astonishment)

Heather: Uh...you mean a magic wand?

Coworker: Yes!

I have no good answers

Today at work after sneezing, I said "bless me."

Awkward.
