Online Backgammon

When it comes to playing games online or most computer related things I get frustrated. It’s hard for me to understand directions in the first place, but when learning a new game like backgammon it just gets even harder. There’s rules, there are tricks and tips, and there is of course the need to find the right site to be able to play the best online backgammon possible. I figured with a site available in six different languages that Gammon Fortune is a safe bet. I logged on and downloaded the free software to start playing backgammon online within 5 minutes. I’ve been enjoying tournaments and other events. I haven’t won any money yet, but with a site that’s really easy to navigate and gives away actual cash jackpots I feel pretty lucky already! It’s pretty nice to not have to lose money while I’m learning, I’ve been playing just for fun so far.

Moving Blows

So my dad and step mom are moving. They are downsizing to a smaller house and since both my nephew and my daughter have a room at their current home I had a bright idea. When my niece and nephew come to visit in the summer they can sleep in either room, but I honestly don’t think that either of my nephews want to sleep in a Strawberry Shortcake canopy bed. So I figured they were putting the futon/bunk bed in the extra bedroom and leaving at that.

Since Sydney decided to break her current POS bed I thought we’d take her bedroom set from my dad’s. Yeah, in theory it works out really good. That is until you find all the crap she’s hidden like socks and food in her bedroom in the most unbelievable places. That is until she throws a fit over not getting rid of any little broken toy from a Happy Meal that she’s had for 4 years.

Now, my biggest pain in the rear has been moving the current furniture out of the room and putting the new stuff in. The bed and dresser are in the room, the other bed is in pieces until tomorrow. The old dresser is still in her room. Toys are strewn about. I’m about to throw out a perfectly good mattress that could be given to anyone, but I just don’t have any place to store it. I also don’t know anyone who wants it.

It’s become a real pain in the rear end! It also makes me fear the day we move the entire house to a bigger house. I have a feeling even though we’ll be upgrading it will be painful.
