hello there

here's a quick update:
yesterday i was really missing home. this happens just about every time that the family is having a party that i cannot attend. potato and i tried to make the best of it. we had a pretty epic date-day. it started by going to see the movie gravity in imax 3d. i don't remember the last time that i went to an imax movie and i don't think i've ever been to an imax 3d movie. it was the perfect movie to see in this format. it was beautifully shot and about space (!!!). imax 3d is pretty damn expensive, but it was well worth it for this movie. when we were leaving the theater i realized my mouth hurt because i had been clenching my jaw for the last hour and a half. ps - potato flinched when space junk flew at his face.
after the movie we went to the store and made dinner. after dinner we had a really fun competition. we played best of three ping pong. i killed him the first game but by the second and third game he remembered how to do a forehand return. we then had a card house challenge. i beat him with a 4th level. it wasn't pretty but it was pretty sturdy. we played a couple of video games and then had a round of bozo buckets. the looser had to by the winner a gift. needless to say, potato got an early christmas present. we caught up on parks and rec and called it a night.
we're going out a lot less than we used to which i think is nice. part of it is because we're poor but another part is because a lot of the time i just want to be home with my boys. now that just about all of our good friends have moved i don't feel motivated enough to go out. we still have friends here, but we're either not as close or not as comfortable with them so it always feels like an effort to hang out. a lot of times it's just easier to stay in. i sound old.
i think that's it for this update. otherwise i've just been waiting for the birdos visit and thanksgiving. both are rapidly approaching.
