The power is back on and everyone is still alive, save for a beta fish that got a little bit too chilly.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is out for Nintendo GameCube. As an early Christmas present, the girl purchased a copy today so that I could begin my quest. I started playing at about 5:00pm and managed to clock over 8 hours of game play between then and now. It is after 2am and I should be going to bed. The saga continues (?) with the battle of good and evil, and adds another chapter to a very long and involved series. The time line for The Legend of Zelda series is very obscure. Apparently, Twilight Princess takes place some time after Ocarina of Time, but well before The Windwaker. While I cannot keep up with every game in the series and where it fits in the Zelda time line, others can. Also, Wikipedia has a pretty extensive page on the history of The Legend of Zelda series.

I signed my daughter up for dance classes last week on a whim. She goes on Thursdays. I went to get Chinese and managed to sign her up in a dance class in the same plaza. So, I had to get ballet shoes, tap shoes, tights, a leotard, and a snazzy bag to hold all of the stuff. She was pretty excited about the shoes, but I don’t quite think she gets what’s going on. Her first class is Thursday. Break a leg!

My little sprout turns four on Saturday and we are having a bowling party. WooHoo! Four years old, in dance class, and still bossing mom around.

Christmas… Huh? It’s here already? It was Thanksgiving yesterday! I still have a pretty fair amount of shopping to accomplish and so little time. Less than two weeks, in fact.

Between Zelda, birthdays, work, and dance class, I will try to find time to update later this week. I am a crappy blogger that lacks dedication.
