An Update and an oddly addicting game

Well, here I am. A good friend of mine just informed me that I am WAYYY behind on my blog. So, here I am.

Today I went to parent teacher conferences for 5 of the 9 kids in my care. I would have had 6 of them today but one of the teachers got sick and couldn't make it. I am also the new Cub Master for a local Cub Scout unit. I have enough boys in my house to keep a pack going for some time. My husband and I are finishing our basement. We are doing this ourselves. We have enlisted our teen-age boys in this endeaver and are beginning to see the end of this projoect. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

On the side I have picked up a new game I sometimes play late at night. I was introduced to the game by one of my husband's friends. And my dear hubby doesn't even play it. It's called Kingdom of Loathing (or KoL for short). It is such a blast to play, which is totally odd considering it has no fancy graphics. In fact, the graphics are just stick figures and other crudely drawn images. For some strange reason this game is appealing to a lot of people. If you are walking down the street and hear people talking about Pasta Mancers or beating the Naughty Sorceress you are seeing the results of this craze.
