Where's Waldo, I Spy, and Crazy Rummy
Saturday night: As I am writing this time is ticking, but to be sure...I will finish before midnight.. I just had the best time. The guys Jay and Mitch came over again tonight (I know big surprise)…and they made us supper. Which was so fun to watch, Marla and I had to get pictures…many pictures actually…because how often do guys volunteer to make supper? Not too often…although we had to supply them with flour, water, salt and baking soda…but they brought the refried beans and did all the work making tortillas. After we ate Jay and Marla started going through the Where’s Waldo book…I brought out the I Spy book for Mitch to look at. I looked over his shoulder and was constantly like “Found it!” and then I gave him clues as to where they were…and when he found the item first he was like “Yes! Yes…Yes!…Yes! You want a hint?” Being stubborn I would say "no!"...until I couldn’t find it and then I would tell him that I wouldn’t mind a hint…it didn't take long...maybe a little more then an hour to realize that we were sick of that book…we kept trying to give it to Jay and Marla…but they wouldn’t trade books. So Mitch and I played card games until Marla and Jay were ready to play a card game…crazy rummy…Which happens to be a very crazy card game, but a lot of fun…Now I am probably going to explain this all wrong...but we started out with like 7 cards and we had to get two sets, then the next round we got 8 cards and had to get 2 runs, then 9 cards and 1 run and 1 set, then two sets (had to be different suits) and a run (or maybe that was the other way around), then 11 cards and 2 sets and 1 run, with no discard at the end. Very complicated and I lost, but that is alright…I am pretty used to losing card games…It was just a really fun evening...full of card games and laughter...

hey emily, sorry it's been so long since I commented. I had a long absence from my computer over christmas break and now classes are starting again! ugh:( Anyways, I had a fun time at home getting rested up and playing with my dog:) Sounds like you've been having a lot of exotic adventures over there! I'm glad you managed to convince somebody to cook for you:p This game sounds very hard, not to mention very complex:p Oh, and guess what? I not only saw felicia over break (at GYC), I drove past your house! Yeah, my grandmother told me stories about the birds that fly by on their migrations and about your ornithologist uncles or something. very interesting:)
anyways, just letting you know i haven't dropped off the face of the earth
