Chessmate

Having said many times before that he enjoyed playing and would teach me, I bought my husband a glass chess set about 2 years ago . I finally put it up and we’ve been staring at it now for 2 or 3 weeks, so I challenged him. Both of us had to start from scratch. He had mostly forgotten and I , cuz I’m dumb.

So play began, he was very sure of his moves confidant and betrayed nothing. Me? Well lets just say I don’t handle pressure very well and I giggled throughout, he just kept asking me if I was alright. His assault was very crafty and sly, he took the circuitous route. I’m a little more straight forward, and dumb. My pawns marched on and overtook anything that was close. He maneuvered and took all my good pieces; ie.. Queen, both knights a rook and bishop not to mention quite a few pawns. I was surely doomed. But wait, hope glimmered and I cornered his king with my remaining pawns and bishop. Best part was he never saw it coming.

CHECKMATE!!! And true to his nature he says in a deadpan “Hmmm, I didn’t see that, set it up again”.

I kick ass.

stress?

Whoever said that not working is wonderful only got it half right. Because I’m starting to get a little stressed out. Damn people. If our “employees” did the job we paid them too WE sure as hell wouldn’t have to be doing all the shit ourselves! GAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

OK now I’m better. At least for now. I’m really feeling not creative at all. It’s as tho I’ve fallen into some void that sucks all sorts of energy and creates a vacuum out of your spontaneity. Or maybe that’s called winter. Now don’t get me wrong I love winter. But I prefer the cold with snow. Then you can call it winter instead of just FUCKING COLD! Damn sun is deceiving. Looks all pretty and clear and you get outside and your nipples have just cut holes through your shirt & it was a nice shirt too. I think I have an acute case of cabin fever. The walls are really starting to bug me. Not to mention the ceiling and the unfinished projects that abound around here. But the lack of motivation stops them from getting done.

Enough circling. Better quit now before I catch my tail.

fun fun

Not much to say other than New Years was amazing. We went to a place that allows fireworks, as it does not at “home”. and with the drinking and such that went on the video that follows this post will say more than i will be able to with my fingers.

Other than that we got to spend time with our nephew and our neice this past weekend. As they live over the mountians we rarely get to spend significant chunks of time with them. It was lovely and low key. No expectations, beautiful. It was funny tho, we went from having to wear down coats to light jackets. Amazing the difference a major mountian range makes.

Well with the start of a new year i suppose a few resolutions are in order.

• Be motivated
• Procastinate less
• Finish Major Projects ie.. spare room & bathroom
• Take a class ie… metalworking, photography or art
• Make my ass smaller

But i could always resolve to do it next year….

And now without further adiu, the video you have been waiting for with baited breath *cough*
