Things D has Said Tonight

"Come to bed soon dear, it's almost midnight." (less than a minute ago)

"I'm going to win." (while we were teaching other people how to play our game)

"I'm known in my house for..." (the ellipses were because I interrupted him with, you're known in our house?) "... getting out and rolling the six I need to win." (There are two parts to the board game. I've done well at getting out of the first part quickly. But then he gets out of that first part before I win the second part and lands on a square that wins him the game. Then he gloats about it.)

"Meredith hates it when I do that." (Talking about rolling the six to win. And who likes it when someone wins and then gloats?)

It's been a good, if somewhat long evening. A game that normally takes D and I about 2 hours to play took almost 4 tonight. Of course, there were 3 other people, 2 of whom had never played before. I'm somewhat tired, but happy to be back home. I'm thinking that we need to set a time to end next time we play, so that it doesn't go so long. I won, but the chairs started getting uncomfortable around 3 hours in.

I'm going to go. I'm debating if I want a heating pad on my back when I'm still really warm.

TTFN!

P.S.: D, I apologize for gloating most of the way home. You took it well. And I did tell you that I was going to win. ;)
