Just to Keep Things Interesting....

My friend Jennie decided that her birthday party this weekend should have a "Wild Kingdom Animal Theme". The fact that this theme allowed her and I to re-use an integral part of our Halloween costume (ahem...leopard-print tights) was no small coincidence. Full costumes were not required, but some sort of animal print, animal on shirt, animal anything was appreciated. Surprisingly, some of the boys participated with more more enthusiasm that the girls. One guy had an orangutan mask, another made a jellyfish out of a pink umbrella and streamers, and yet another wore a Miami Dolphins jersey and was-- yes, a dolphin.

In other news, my sister's friends are in town and one has introduced us to what may be the end of productivity and our eventual downfall. Settlers of Catan. A strategic, dorky, awesome board game. We played all day Sunday and I finally won my first game yesterday. Sweet!
