i bet her $50 to eat a tablespoon full of cinnamon. she apparently really needed some xmas gift money and i didnt know that so my bet was very persuasive. and yes, thats mostly me laughing in the background.
turkey break gets boring really fast because after the initial day of eating and what not all of the women go out for a long long shopping spree and im stuck at the cousins house trying to find something to do. last year my cousins and i that were back at the house started making puzzles. so i thought of extending that tradtition. mollie and i started off with a easy 100 piece one. but then i went to look for another one and boom there it was. a 1500 piece puzzle of a god damn castle in france with a lot of grass and a lot of blue sky. i thought i was up for the challenge. i had three days ahead of me. lets go.
nope. didnt happen. for 3 days i slaved over that puzzle until the wee hours of the night with a bunch of my cousins and relatives and by golly i didnt get it done. the sky (the skys of insanity) was just impossible and the grass underneath the castle was just a bit easier. for those two parts it would have been easier if we had done the puzzle flipped over. anyways.
saturday mi familia went to lunch with my moms sisters family. we also do this every year and its always nice to pick up on news from everyone. my cousin sam and i played about 10 games of darts and ive noticed that im not that bad with darts. maybe it could be a game that i could pick up. speaking of darts, if anyone likes betting, darts, and the irish mob then i could highly recommend Balling the Jack by Frank Baldwin. "it was the best book ive ever read" said by Tim Dolan, a well respected book reviewer for the Crystal Lake Cronical.
