Well, Caroline’s cough that I mentioned in yesterday’s post decided to get even worse on Sunday night. And I’ll spare you all the details for now, mainly because I’m too tired to recount them. I need sleep. And to get the smell of VapoRub off my hands.
On the plus side, after a long bout of procrastination, I finally hooked the Wii that Santa brought up to the internet on Sunday afternoon. (Do you hook something “up to the internet”? It’s like I’m writing a guide to technology for the Beverly Hillbillies. “And then we’ll all hook up our computing machines to the internet and go swim in our cement ponds.”)
This turned out to be a good thing because we spent most of her day home from school yesterday making the most of our Netflix membership as we watched one movie after another. Although if I never have to watch The Care Bears Big Wish Movie again, it will be too soon.
Then, at some point in the late afternoon, I began to explore the other Wii Shop features and discovered that I could download old school Donkey Kong right to our Wii. Like the kind I played on my Colecovision when I was in sixth grade and thought computers were only big machines used by the Department of Defense as seen in the movie War Games.
“Would you like to play a game?”
OH YES I WOULD.
So I introduced Caroline to the wonder of old school technology and she was totally amused for about three minutes until she realized that 1984 Donkey Kong is totally lame compared to 2011 Donkey Kong because “all Mario does is jump over those barrels”.
Whatever. Wait until she sees the level with those elevators.
And I didn’t even mean to ramble along like this because none of this is the point of today’s post. It’s just a lot of nonsense you get because I might be a little high on the VapoRub.
The point is that today is a giveaway day because I am continuing to be like Oprah and give things away.
Everyone in the audience is getting A FREE JAR OF VAPORUB!
Not really.
But everyone is getting A CHANCE TO WIN A COPY OF FINDING GOD’S WILL BY GREGG MATTE!
I am so excited to have a copy of Gregg’s book to give away. In case you missed it, I wrote all about it in this post I wrote back in December. It is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time and is just so thoughtfully written. I can’t recommend it enough.
