Bowling with Santa

Bowling with Santa is awesome. It really really is. Basically, the bowling alley that mom goes to for her league offers some reasonable bargain for two games of bowling, shoes, hotdog, soda, and getting to see Santa. We've been going since roughly '98 or so, and it's terribly fun, especially as Santa remembers us, because he is a really awesome guy. (But you all knew that, didn't you?)

This year was the five of us in the family, aramintamd and her two daughters, and lonebear and giraffeaholic, which meant we had an even split between the adults and the kids. Seeing as us kids had bumpers, to keep our balls out of the gutter, it was a pretty even match, which was good. The first game, everyone just played at a reasonable level (except mom who had an epicfail game --I actually beat her) but by the second game, the youngest of Araminta's had dropped out, and Aly had gone all "bleeh" and was done, which meant that I was bowling for three people. Which is killer fun, let me tell you, especially if you don't take yourself seriously.

By the second half, Aly had come back in, and the two of us got a little bit...hyper about the bowling. We spent the last three frames throwing the balls down the alley together, and just being goofy. Which is totally fun --Aly and I have always been good about getting really silly together and screwing around.

And yeah. Yay bowling. Santa came by, of course, and I told him that I wanted RockBand and more suspenders* and 'stuff like that'. He gave us candy canes, because Santa is just a generally cool guy like that. Me and Aly spent a lot of our not-bowling time in each others laps, chatting. I danced with both of Araminta's daughters, and with Koob (who came by to visit) and Aly, a little. General mayhem and all that.

I really like my family.

MOOP!

*My suspenders are *awesome* They are (debatably) also hott, with two "t's". I bought them yesterday at Commander Salamanders, and they are black, and I have sworn to wear them every day until the end of time because I like them so much. I've already broken that particular promise, however, seeing as I'm not currently wearing them.

My hair *is* still in two braids with bells on the end, so I suppose that's good. Phear the cute?

I suck mightily. I got up late, by which time my DW had the car and was orf to get last-minute prezzies. By the time she got back, it was too late to go. Unhappy Scooter.
