This is what happens every time I try to yoga with no hubby in the house.

This, little bites, is not helping.

Still not any actual help.

*garble* *garble* Seriously.

Yes, I love you. Still not helping, though.

I’m loving this month’s West Elm catalog – I kinda want to curl up in it and take a nap.

 

That face should be illegal. Why do my dogs both look so mournful the second I whip the camera out?

 

No. Just, no.

Clown pants!

A little white-on-white lunch creativity. Roast cauliflower, dippin’ eggs, a sprinkle of chopped capers, and a smattering of asiago cheese.

Healthy and satisfying.

This is the newest addition to our stable of games. Tsuro is perfect for gamers and non-gamers alike and makes for a quick play.

We had the fortune to be able to play for the first time with family on the 4th – my anti-gamer, easily bored sister; her nerdy-in-disguise new husband; my über gamer brother; his fantastically geeky fiancé; my board game loving stepmother; my DH and myself.

A great time was had by all running each others’ dragons into the walls at the end of the Earth (though whether they met a fiery doom or simply dimension-hopped after shooting off the board was hotly contested). I am firmly in the fiery doom camp – we never got around to naming or creating bios for our dragons; definitely something we will have to do for next time.

If you would like to see Tsuro in action, check out this episode of Geek and Sundry’s TableTop on YouTube. That’s where we first saw the game. TableTop, for those of you who don’t know, is a YouTube show hosted by geek king Wil Wheaton where he and friends play board games. We pretty much want all the games featured on the show – you wouldn’t think watching someone play something you’ve never heard of would be fun, but it strangely is. I highly recommend.

Walking around the city all day in July makes for some hot, tired feet.

Oh, vegetables: how I missed thee.

Nectar of the Gods.
