Last night, I had probably the worst game of yahtzee in my life.  I just couldn't get any of the dice to do what I wanted.  I had to resort to cheating once just to get my large straight and I wasn't even ashamed of that.  I don't mind losing, but when I put up no challenge then I feel like Tyler might as well be playing by himself.  So, Tyler won 2 out of 3 games and will probably win again tonight.

I didn't have a good sleep last night.  I woke up at who knows what time because I thought someone grabbed my foot, and since Tyler was sound asleep beside me I could only assume that someone had broken into our house and was now hiding at the foot of our bed.  Lucky for Tyler, I was awake enough to know that that in fact wasn't true because Kitten was still sound asleep beside me.  She would be the first to wake up if someone came into our place.  So I didn't wake him up but I remained awake for about 2 hours.  At one other point, I thought I saw something in the dark but I figured that if someone was going to rob us or hurt us, they wouldn't be hiding under the bed first.  They would just do what they came to do and since nothing was happening, I was safe enough to not have to wake Tyler up.  Kitten was being super cute this morning though so while I hated being awake, at least I was being moderately entertained.  She was sleeping on her back with her paws up in the air and every once in a while she would stretch and all 4 paws would go sky high and then relax again.  Only cat lovers would really understand how that could be so cute.

I did eventually get back to sleep.  I woke up when Tyler's alarm went off but quickly fell right back into a strange dream.  I love being able to just get right back to sleep.  Once I got out of bed, I made some pancakes and watched a bit of tv before Edmonton news came on.  I watched  bit of that while playing on the computer and making sure Kitten didn't scratch herself while she cleaned beside me.  I did the few dishes and cleaned up the kitchen a little.  I also made Tyler a sandwich and prepared his other lunch foods for easy eating when he got home.  He always eats a banana and a nutrigrain bar after his sandwich so it's easy enough for me to put that out on the counter.

Once Tyler got home, I joined him while he ate his meal and we chatted about our trip and Christmas and how his day was going so far.  I enjoy our time together.  We usually have a great time talking about everything.

He left back for work and I headed out to the store.  While preparing dinner yesterday, I noticed that our garlic which we bought last Saturday had a green fur growing on it.  We have no choice but to buy a package of 3 garlic bulbs and there was mold in between 2 of them.  It was really gross to not notice that before we actually ate some.  I took the garlic back to the store where they said I could go grab another package of 3 and they would deal with the one I brought back.  I checked all the packages of garlic to find that they all had this green mold on them.  So instead of buying another package, I got my $1.30 back.  And besides, who needs 3 bulbs of garlic.  We certainly don't eat it all before it starts to sprout.

I got back from the store and worked out a bit.  It's always nice to work out and look out at our view.  Today, most of the afternoon was sunny and clear but windy.  I watched as the giant coast guard boat left the dock and watched all the other sea traffic that was going by.  It's so beautiful here and I can't get over it.

Once done my workout, I sat and cross stitched and let Kitten go coneless for a while.  She fell asleep beside me.  Soon, it was time to start making dinner.  Tonight we had chicken with skillet gravy.  It's a meal I've made many times and every time it's really awesome.  I started at about 4:30 with the potatoes. I wasn't going to start cooking the chicken until Tyler came home because that doesn't take long and I didn't know if he would be home on time.  It turns out, Tyler had to stay late and he came home at 5:50pm.  I started up the frying pan and soon enough dinner was ready to go.

We sat down and enjoyed a tasty meal while talking more about Christmas and our days.   It will be super tough to shop for any one this year because we just don't have time to go out and buy it.  I'm sure we will get it done but it's causing me to over think just how we will get that done.  I'm sure it will work itself out.

After talking for a long time, we are now sitting on the couch, Tyler is studying and I'm blogging.  I'm going to be cross stitching right away.  Kitten is laying in the hammock that Tyler made with a blanket between his legs.  Baby J is training to be a boxer or a wine maker, either my bladder is being used as a speed bag or Baby J is stomping on it, trying to get every last drop.  What a turkey.

I can't believe how quickly this baby will be here.  It seems like it's all going really fast.  Every pregnant person I've ever talked to has said that it seems to last forever but I haven't gotten to that point yet.  I know that after Christmas is over and the new year is here it will probably slow down but I'm liking this speed.  I can't wait to meet this baby.
