renehollan's Journal: "Got Done" Day

Well, a lot of the things that I wanted to do yesterday, got done today instead: cleaning bathrooms, vacuuming, shampooing the rugs, etc. I'm about to start making chicken tikka masala for dinner.

We even had a bit of time to take the kids to a local fair, though I don't like such things. The token venders here were rude, calling me a liar when I pointed out that few rides were available to our 20 month old son (he stamds 36" tall). All I was trying to figure out was how many tokens to buy. The "games of skill" operaters were worse -- hassling us to try for a stuffed animal (our kids have way too many stuffed animals). I tried a game to win a goldfish, at my daugher's request, knowing the game was rigged and the chances of getting the fish were slim (a risk which suited me fine). I failed, but the damn idiot gives her the fish anyway, so I had to buy a tank, food, water treatment, etc. I wish we could've stuck to the rides, or played the games for tokens and not bulky and awkward stuff.
