For some reason, I cannot commit this fact to memory.
30 days has September,
April, June and November
All the rest have 31
And February’s great with 28
And Leap Year’s February’s fine with 29
1/31: finally memorized that there are 31 days in January February 1, 2009
1/30: saved Oscar and Clara January 31, 2009
They were playing with this thing: 
and somehow got themselves stuck in the bathroom. They couldn’t get out so I saved them. Note: we take this thing down when we are not home just in case of this scenario. Now I know that I am not just being paranoid.
In other news, I am supposed to be skiing right now but I am home because I threw a hissy and didn’t go. I am so immature that I can’t believe myself sometimes. So instead, I am doing some work and updating my blog and going on facebook.
1/29: did Wii running January 31, 2009
Cost: free to me because I own a Wii (nice rhyme!)
Time: 30 mins.
I am sick of being out of shape. I was good about running a lot (by running, I mean jogging at an obscenely slow pace, but that’s not the point) over the spring and into the summer. Then Spain happened and I think I traversed a distance equal to the Camino de Santiago and back by the power of my own getaway sticks. I’ve been home for a few months though and haven’t been so good about working out. So I did Wii running (as my own Mii) and hey, its a start, right?
1/28: saved my brain January 31, 2009
Cost: how can you put a price on your brain?
Time: however long you want
Apparently, playing this game keeps your brain in check. It is mildly fun, too.

*Happy Birthday, Gray!*
1/27: drank gourmet hot chocolate January 28, 2009
Cost: free (it was a gift)
Time: it has been sitting on top of my fridge for one to two years
It is caramel something or other (see below.) I got a pack of it for Christmas (a few years ago… can this make me sick???) It is pretty good, but I am a loyal Dunkin Donuts gal.
1/26: wore blue toenail polish January 28, 2009
Again, I am grossed out by feet (even my own.) I am slacking in the new things department.
1/25 bonus: won $30 playing Keno January 26, 2009
Cost: $1/bet
Time: We were there for about an hour
Brian and I went to dinner at the Ale House and we decided to play a little (only 6 games at $1/apiece) Keno. Never has either of us won more than a dollar but tonight I won $30 and Brian won $20 which more than paid for our dinner. Sweet.
1/25: started a new page January 25, 2009
Cost: Free because I use the library
Time: one book a week (hopefully more) for a year
Because I am reading 52 books this year, I added a page (Reading is Fun!) so I can keep track. I tend to be on the absentminded side.
1/24: ate garlic pizza January 25, 2009
Cost: about 7 bucks
Time: I wolfed this thing down. Ten minutes? (I did NOT eat the whole thing. I have some self control.)
Being hungover, I could not have asked for a more delicious treat. And more hellacious breath. It was so worth it.
1/23: got my 200th friend on facebook January 23, 2009
Time: I believe it has been about eight months.
Cost: facebook is free and no idea what drinks will cost, but who cares because we are celebrating!
And yes, they are all (except for one who is a friend of a friend) people I actually know. I feel ridiculously popular. And now I am off to celebrate Amy’s birthday on this Fabulous Friday. Happy weekend!
Oh yeah- I just ate Kraft Dinner. Spirals!
*Happy Birthday, Amy!*
