Have you ever seen anything so sweet and cute as a curled up little blue possum all snug in his nest?  Aww, wait, that’s just the Bobosaur in his polar bear pj’s… asleep in a little ball in his Christmas chair. Why is it that he can fall asleep in the oddest places in less than 3 seconds, but it takes him forever and a boatload of whining before he will take a nap in bed?   Pure preciousness.

As you may know, I’ve been hoping to find a full-time job since my last semester ended and I’m only taking a half-time course load this semester.  The tricky part is that I’m obviously not finished with my IT degree, but that’s the field I want a job in (British history is just not a bustling industry, sadly), more specifically working with Oracle (which is really hard to get into without experience).  So, yesterday I started casting my net a little wider, and applied to this company that my friend works for… and this morning I got a call back…

So… perhaps some of you Pioneer Woman readers happened upon this recent post in her cooking section?  If not, maybe take a moment to peruse it… she’s offering another one of her amazing Lodge-party contests with a make your own sushi twist… in February. http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2010/01/surf-and-turf-a-weekend-cooking-giveaway/ Yeah… I’M GOING!!!   I never win anything, I can’t believe my luck!!  I’m still waiting to figure out the details, so fingers crossed nothing falls through.  I couldn’t be more excited, though!!!!

This afternoon we headed down to Roller Kingdom, the skating rink where we used to go as kids, to take Bobo for his first ever roller skating experience!  Things started off a little iffy… we got there 20 minutes before they closed for lunch so we had to leave and come back.  That ended up working out well- we had a tasty lunch at Panera and then hit the Home Depot for a while (too long a while).  Unfortunately, by the time we got back to Roller Kingdom, the previously empty parking lot was JAM PACKED.  Cars were parked everywhere,…

This week Bobo had a rather unfortunate experience at Miss Robin’s… he got bit by a little girl.  Apparently Miss Robin bought a bunch of new trucks and cars, since all the toddlers there love them, Bobo included.  She went to the kitchen to heat up lunch while Bobo and this girl were using the new cars in the play room, and then Bobo started crying… and the girl ran away to hide. Judging from how dark the bite marks are they must have hurt a lot and that girl must have really chomped down!  They were probably going for…

I guess Bobo was inspired by the Wii Fit to do his own special workout.  I like to think he looks like a training samurai!  He found himself a fashionable head wrap and then began to practice his meditative martial arts.  Rawr! Is he a cutie or what?  Look at that concentration.  I couldn’t perch and balance on the edge of a box like this!  And then of course he had to ham it up for a while.  Notice the green blanket fort in the background, I think it adds to the effect.  A little samurai house, if you will.

Yes, it snowed again today… so if I have to look at it so do you!  Actually this is another one from yesterday, I took about fifty thousand… snowsuit pictures to follow.  On an unrelated note… doesn’t Arin look like the kid from Jerry McGuire when he wears my glasses??

Said to the tune of… ‘oh no’.  Yes, another day, another snow storm.  I suppose it’s not been a bad winter snow-wise, and at least this storm was very wet and stuck to the trees very prettily.
