Roll The Dice, Napoleon


Tommy and his co-workers were going to dress up as characters from Napoleon Dynomite. Tommy asked me to perm his hair, he was quite persistant about it. I told him I would not do that... what a waste! We compromised and I said I would roll his hair in curlers. What a nightmare! But it did make him look more like Naopoleon.


On Halloween we went to our friends house. We ate chili and breadsticks, then went Trick or Treating in the neighborhood by our condo. I figured Graham needed a costume to go but I didn't want to buy more glow sticks to recreate the "Stick Figures", so last minute I made a costume. Graham went as a die. At first he REALLY hated the costume, he wouldn't put it on. We would ask him if he wanted candy, of course he would say yes, we would reply that he had to put his costume on to get some. Later that night he decided he liked his costume because he got candy every time he had it on! What parents do to their kids!

Stupid Fantasy

So Tommy talked me into joining his Fantasy Football league this year-the first year he has done it. At first I said that I would do it only to fill one of his team spaces... he needed 10 teams and I was the second team (if that tells you anything). When we did the draft, it actually got a little more exciting. I still didn't know many of the players but it was fun to try to get the guy you wanted before someone else did. I was having a lot of fun with it... at first. Tommy liked it too because usually I only want to watch the Broncos play (not every NFL or college game), but now I was invested in many teams, so needless to say we watched A LOT of football. Now, however, I am over it! See, how it works is your team/players get points based upon what they really do in the real games. The last like three weeks my team has torn it up, and I still lose because I am playing the best team of the week... so frustrating! So, goodbye Fantasy Football! I give!
