Bandwagon Bound

So, I finally jumped on the gaming band-wagon & played a little Guitar Hero : World Tour this weekend!

D.Mights's parents had us over Saturday night for pizza & a little fun! I had played Guitar Hero once before - just once.

I did my time on the vocals, my strong suit, and then let Emily have her turn, so I could practice my guitar skills.

I had to start on beginner - yes, folks - beginner - as in all you do is press one button the whole time. Very basic. But that's all I needed to jump start my rock-star abilities...

I then moved on to the drums - and if I do say so myself - I was awesome.... I could have a back-up career in drumming I think.

Dusty, of course, must play this game in his sleep, because everything was a piece of cake for him.

Emily - what can I say - she might as well have invented the game herself. She even did a round in difficult.... I was quite impressed.

Not to be outdone - but I was also impressed with the fact that both Mimi & Paw Paw are quite the Guitar Hero's themselves - who knew?!?!

Here are some random pics from our jam session:

Ava took a turn on the vocals - it kicked her off the stage - apparently the lyrics to "Jesus Loves Me" don't sound anything like "Eye of the Tiger"...

Here she is jammin' with Emily

She also took a turn at the drums - can we say "future band member?!"

Here's D. - claiming he's never played before....yeah right...

Here's me playing "Eye of the Tiger"....again.... At least my tongue wasn't sticking out - you really have to work your hand-eye coordination!!

In other weekend news, look who was home for a visit....

We spent Sunday afternoon hanging out with Ashes & the rest of the fam - enjoying some cake for Papa's birthday! PopPop just couldn't squeeze out of this picture - at least he's smiling :)!

And - as for the closet situation...

I was able to try on all of my clothes in my closet....that just leaves all the drawers, accessories, shoes, jewelry....and every other closet in the house to go through.

I contemplated what I was going to do with all the things I no longer need. I usually take stuff to consignment or give them to my friends, but looking at the large pile of clothes, clothes I used to love & live in - I decided they needed a home where someone else would appreciate them as much as I did.

So, tomorrow - they are headed to the local Women's Shelter in hopes of finding someone who will be just as thrilled with them as I was.

Forgot to mention another bandwagon I'm on.....

I'm only on Chapter 10 - I've had it for about 2 weeks - Yes, I know how to read - however, I am a little busy - ya know, chasing Tutu around, cleaning, cooking (yes, things other than cereal), baking, designing, decorating, watching my shows, etc. etc.....so don't spoil anything for me!

I'll get there eventually!!
