Rosie On Vacation - Part VI

Apparently despite my good intentions, the sum ups (so you can follow all the crazy endless action!) are coming a day late. So here's for yesterday:
  1. Played a solo game of MarioParty versus the Wii computer and used our newly unlocked character of Hammerhead Bro, who turned out to be possibly the most annoying character available - worse than Toad, worse than Toadette, worse than Birdo, worse than Peach, and maybe, just maybe, worse than Daisy.
  2. Sat on the couch for a long time working on my cross stitch until I ran out of the color I needed. Go get some more, you say? Can't - it's part of a kit, and most kit-makers (Dimensions in particular) provide you with the thread but not the DMC number. Basically it's so you can't reproduce the pattern again, and if you want to do so, you have to buy another kit. For a while, I tried to match up the leftover threads with the colors at your friendly neighborhood craft store, but that was excrutiating. So in short, the cross stitch is on hiatus until I can write to Dimensions (who don't even have a website - Grrrrrr! But they're well known in stitching circles, so at least you know they're reliable and legit) and have them send me more thread.
  3. Walked on the beach with Husband and found basalt rocks. Geology nerds will know what that means and can speculate on exactly where they came from.
  4. Met our new temporary roommates - also down for the wedding.
  5. Went to Brent and Bernadette's rehearsal dinner.
  6. Came back and sat on the couch again. Ah, circle of life.
