a resort sort of weekend...

Of course I mean Wii Resort.  Anyone here a Nintendo fan?  We just got our hands on the new Wii Resort game and the MotionPlus Sensor thingy for the controller.  It's quite impressive actually.  According to my husband, it feels so real 3-point shooting is actually hard.  Though I beat his score the first time I played. Skillz baby, skillz.  I wish I had more time to play, but that damn thing called work got in the way.  Hoping to get a little more play in during the week!

from of course, the mighty Nintendo.

Friday Office

"Friday is the Perfect Day for an Office Riot" by the Centennial Society is a clever 16-page pamphlet illustrating what would happen if the office had a riot...and started a civilization inside the building. (hahaha) My husband and I were cracking up at it this morning and thinking....if only...if only. I personally like the women in the left corner swinging the mop.  So much action...so much emotion.  Have a great friday!

**kitty kat korner** - new toy

I think it was last Thursday I got home from freelancing early, and decided I would not sit in front of the computer or turn on the TV.  So what does one do?  I decided to make a small catnip toy for the young'uns.  It's the little green thing with a golden bell on it that Kuro is so adamantly playing with.  I had some loose ribbon pieces I made into a little pouch, and stuffed it with catnip wrapped in a crinkled napkin.  I'm glad they are enjoying it...though in hindsight I think they are way too young for catnip.  Sensory overload  = really jumpy cats.

pho masta

I have this weird habit of making nice dishes for dinner when I am super busy.  Maybe cooking is theraputic...maybe it's the sense of using a different part of my brain while being away from the computer.  Whatever the case, I decided to make some authentic Vietnamese pho last week.  Broth from scratch!  It sounds like a project, but you just let beef bones simmer on low heat for...ever.  It doesn't take much effort other than keeping an eye on it so it doesn't overboil.  Hungry much?  My husband couldn't keep his hands out of the picture is how hungry he was.  And rightfully so, it was delish!!


Yum! Here's the site I was looking at when making it. Though I did some things, and I omitted others...
