Ah Crap
Our plans for the day previously consisted of:
Grocery shopping together
Mowing the lawn together (he mows, I trim)
Moving furniture around in the basement together
Then, about 2 minutes ago, Hubs came running upstairs, excited to announce:
“My game is working!”
(Grand Theft Auto IV, which he purchased a few weeks ago, wasn’t running properly on his xbox. He read online that some xboxes have a certain harddrive that isn’t compatible with the new game, so he had basically given up all hope that he would be able to enjoy the game. Fortunately, he messed around with it more this morning, unplugged the Guitar Hero guitars, rebooted the xbox and now it’s working. Apparently, the xbox was recognizing the guitar as the main controller.)
I am now forced to adjust our Sunday plans:
Grocery shop (alone)
Mow the lawn (alone)
Move furniture around in the basement (alone)
Enjoy a very large bottle of Cafe Zinfandel (alone)
-OR-
I’ll just secretly plug the guitar back into the system. muuuaaahhhh!
Personally, I’d skip the grocery shopping, the lawn mowing and the furniture moving and head straight for the wine!

This is my life with your brother. The difference is that he knows all along that he’s going to be playing his game.

Ha - I know that feeling. Luckily Doug has been so busy working around the house he hasn’t plugged any of that in yet. Of course, now that we have Tucker, all he wants to do is play with him. I can’t get mad though, because it’s all I want to do too! Too bad Cooper isn’t closer. We could have doggie dates

I’m in for the wine myself - damn lawn will still be there next week! Liquid lunch with no groceries in the house? Who’s gonna tell - not me!
