Probably the Most Boring Blog to Date

Here are highlights of the past week's activities in bulleted form and in no particular order:

• Saw Carrie! Ok, so that is the #1 thing we did. But the rest of these are in no particular order.
  
• Played with Palmer and Portia at the pool
• Played tennis. Carly won. Daniel cried like a baby that Carly "kept hitting it to his backhand"----This is not true, they weren't real tears it was really dusty and I got something in my eye.
  
• Visited with Grammie and Bobpa
  
• Lounged on beach chairs in the kiddie pool with Lexie (got sunburned)
• Played a coed softball game at 8 AM on Saturday!! Ask Carly how she managed to play both shortstop and right field every inning. It is an amazing story, really.
  
• Went boating with some MPA friends. Carly managed to surf behind the boat for about 30 seconds. Pictures to come soon. Daniel refused to come and missed out on the fun.
• Turned down another job offer for Carly. It was another really hard decision, but we are confident she'll find a great job for her soon.
  
• Ate dinner with friends multiple times
  
• Prepared for the girl's basketball camp next week. Carly will be working as a counselor and Daniel as a gym dictator. We will definitely have some great stories. Daniel better favor Carly's team when he refs.--Carly's team will receive no special treatment. And if she calls me a dictator she will be T'd up in a heartbeat.
  
• Hiked the Y. Daniel's idea. Terrible idea. Knees are still sore from running down.
  
• Played Cash Flow, a game that is supposed to mirror life. Everyone draws an occupation and starts out in the "rat race" of life. You try to get out of the rat race by increasing your passive cash flow (interest, dividends, real estate) and decreasing your expenses (mortgage and credit card payments, car and school loans, etc.). You win the game by buying your dream. Carly had one good big investment and got out. She then proceeded to buy her and everyone else's dreams. Kaylie declared that she was the Oprah of the game. If you are considering playing the game, just know it takes a long time (4 hours).---Carly cheated big time.
  
• Had a dream there was a terrorist attack and Jen Singer saved everyone on the floor we were on because she put a piece of wood in the vent they were shooting poisonous gases through. (Jen, yes, I had a dream about you saving my life. What does that mean?)
  
• Daniel and Nick beat Lexie and Carly twice in Spades.---One of those victories was by over 800 points, in fact the girls finished in the negatives.
  

The Blood Family Reunion is coming up this weekend and with a surname like Blood, there are bound to be great stories.
