<p>I just got back from Ro & Knight's. After the birthday party for Pengie, I stayed and watched TV while Tigger played on the new GameCube with Pengie and Kittybane. <p>The birthday party was fun. I rode on the carousel instead of the bumper cars, and Pengie didn't want to wear the birthday boy hat, so I did. I was terrible at Skeeball, but Ro showed me a game called Colorama, and I ended up getting enough points to exchange for a yellow smiley face tin coin bank. Tigger got maracas and a couple of little things, and Critter got a Battleship type of car game. <p>At Ro and Knight's, Pengie opened all his presents, and there was ice cream cake, and I think I still have blue lips from the blue icing... <p>Now I should figure out what to feed the family for dinner. <p>The list:<br> <table bgcolor="#444444"><tr><td><ul> <font color="violet">Monday - Pink</font><br> <font color="orange">Tuesday - Orange</font><br> <font color="yellow">Wednesday - Yellow</font><br> <font color="lime">Thursday - Green</font><br> <font color="aqua">Friday - Blue</font><br> <font color="fuchsia">The Weekend - Purple</font><br> <lj-cut text="Old Stuff"> <font color="violet"> <li><s>Talked to Powers about car</s><br> <small>It needs a replacement torc converter; they'll inspect the tranmission for damage and advise</small></li> <li><s>Called Autotech to reschedule AC leak check</s></li> <li><s>Updated Quicken:</s><ul><li><S>Sorted mail</s></li> <li><s>Entered receipts, checks and deposits</s></li> <li><s>Entered credit card receipts</s></li> <li><s>Took a breather to de-stress</s></li> <li><s>Posted new bills</s></li></ul></li> <li><s>Filled out & signed TLS Enrollment forms for the boys</s></li> <li><s>Replaced 23 burned out lightbulbs</s><br><small>One socket is not working, and one ceiling fixture center post is loose</small></li> <li><s>Picked up Triptik</s></li> <li><s>Got a temporary fix for Tigger's glasses, and ordered a replacement temple</s></li> <li><s>Bought new sunglasses</s><br> <small>Flood ate my orange ones</small></li> <li><s>Bought a new phone cover</s><br> <small>yellow smiley faces on a purple background</small></li> <li><s>Cleaned family room, including dusting the mantel and clearing off the coffee table and end tables</s></li> <li><s>Vacuumed family room; got Critter to vacuum kitchen</s></li><li><s>Read Ozma to the boys</s></li> <li><s>Wiped down the kitchen </s></li><li><s>Washed dishes</s></li> </font> <font color="orange"> <li><s>Got Critter to put away all the clean dishes (from the dishwasher & the counter)</s></li> <li><s>Cleared the jacuzzi top of everything except two baskets of laundry to fold</s></li> <li><s>Bowled</s><br> <small>we only took one, but I bowled 158 in that game!</small></li> <li><s>Sam's</s><br> <small>I got a new bathing suit, and it even fits!
