I have only been posting once a week lately.  I am not sure if that is because I am feeling better or because I am sliding into old patterns.  My sleep schedule got out of whack last weekend with all the activity and I still haven't gotten it back together.  I really didn't do much of anything this week at all--and that is way too familiar.

Wednesday was the last night of the Darksun D&D Encounters.  This week we will start Keep on the Borderlands.  Hopefully Wizards of the Coast will get the updates to the Character Generator out tomorrow like they have indicated.  They already pushed back this months updates by 2 weeks.  I am hoping to make a character for the game instead of using a pregenerated character, but that is all predicated on whether the updates are out or not.

Wednesday night we played more Thunderstone.  I like the game, but I also like to play a variety of games.  On Thursday we played Dominion.  Thunderstone's game mechanic seems based on the Dominion mechanic.  Of course a big part of the whole experience is playing games with my friends, so that makes itworthwhile.  Saturday night we played a couple of games of Settlers of Catan and a game of Shanghai.
I did get some laundry done this week and was able to run the dishwasher once.  I also made Pineapple Salsa with Cream Cheese to take to the Catan game.  They ate it up.  There was some discusion of large pinneapple chunks versus crushed pineapple pieces.  It probably should have set up a little longer in the refrigerator before I mixed in the cream cheese.  Alsom I didn;t put in a jalapeno pepper that was suggested and the ginger I put in was not grated but minced, so I don't htink the flavor fully got out.  I keep wondering if I should have sauteed the ginger with the peppers and onions,  That would take away the crunch that I did not particularily care for.  Several people liked it, but there was some dissension. I wish there was an opportunity to show it off to my dance friends. 

I am fading as you can see. I took an Ambien to help me sleep and get my rhythm back on track.  I seem to be a little light headed and I can't focus quite like I am used to.  I don't really feel tired, but I do feel like I am going to fall dead asleep in a minute.  I will post if anyone has an opinion on my salsa.  Tomorrow is volunteer day at Harvesters and I an very excited..
