Kid Gaming!

I stopped read­ing LJ yes­ter­day morn­ing, and while I tried to take a quick look at what I missed this morn­ing I doubt I’ll get to tru­ly catch up. Sorry!

We had a deli­cious meal yes­ter­day thanks to sam­bear, who is an incred­i­ble cook. Those of you who know him prob­a­bly real­ize that he adores feed­ing peo­ple, and it’s one way he shows his love for us. I’m very thank­ful for that.

word­can­dlemage and I had a love­ly vis­it. We gamed with sam­bear some, and watched Fire­fly tapes (but we’re miss­ing one, dangit—don’t know where it went). I did a lot of back­stitch­ing on this piece. I’m almost done with the quilt for Q! sam­bear and shad­owkatt played Heroes of Might and Mag­ic cooperatively.

My cold is bet­ter today but not gone. shad­owkatt woke with a sore throat yes­ter­day but does­n’t seem to have got­ten the crud, thankfully!

Now we’re prepar­ing the house to receive teen guests who are com­ing over to game with shad­owkatt and sam­bear. Kid gam­ing has been on hia­tus for far too long! 

I’ll prob­a­bly hide in our room and stitch and read, or work on the office a bit. Now I’m wish­ing we had a TV and DVD player/VCR in the bed­room. I burned a DVD last night with the sea­son sev­en Buffy episode that I was miss­ing, and I could watch it and then go on to watch the rest of the sea­son sev­en tapes loaned to me by word­can­dlemage if we did. It isn’t worth the trou­ble to move the TV, VCR, and DVD from the liv­ing room to the bed­room. This is part of why I miss hav­ing a play­room, though!

Oh, well—by next Thanks­giv­ing, we’ll be in the next house. We’ll have room to have lots more peo­ple join us for turkey day and much more room for enter­tain­ing. I’m look­ing for­ward to that!

I’m going to set up my machine to burn DVDs with the Fire­fly episodes that weren’t aired now because I’m too impa­tient to wait for the release of the offi­cial DVDs next month (but I want them, of course). We tossed out some old video­tapes yes­ter­day, and I’m look­ing for­ward to get­ting rid of the rest of the Buffy and Xena tapes as soon as they can be replaced with DVDs. It seems that only the first few sea­sons of Xena have been released, though, which makes me won­der if the rest will ever come out.
