I haven't been on the computer much the past week. There's been something else in the house occupying my time. This whole summer, Marshall has been entered into a drawing at work every time he sells a certain thing (I never found out exactly what); the drawing was held on Saturday, and he won. A Wii.

Marshall won a Wii!

So, yeah, that's all we've been doing. I've mostly just stuck to the Wii Sports, especially tennis and golf; Marshall and Laura bought the Metroid game together, and I started it, but it's going to take a while to get used to coordinating two remotes and pointing to shoot and all of that; just 20 minutes gave me a rather sizable headache. I looked at Wii Fit in the store, but I definitely don't have almost a hundred dollars to spend on a video game, unfortunately.

My quilting class is going well. Yesterday I sewed all my strips into blocks; next week I'll start sewing my blocks together. I was really worried about the sewing process since I've pretty much never used a sewing machine before - we sewed costumes for Odyssey of the Mind when I was in middle school, but to say that we actually knew what we were doing is a profound overstatement. But the women running the class were very helpful and showed me exactly what to do, and by the end of the class I was zipping right along. There's something very rewarding to crafts in general, watching something come together right in front of you. I'm glad I decided to do this.
