About last night...

So, last night one of the aunties took the 2 smallest Minions for a sleep-over. Fuzzy gets this brilliant idea that he needs to spend time with me and guess what..... there is absolutely NOTHING to do. Wednesday night, no movies I'm interested in until Friday, local performing arts theater is closed, state fair AND county fair both start on Friday, 3 (count them, 3) casinos within driving distance and not one has any live entertainment. Even the the Pub and the Lounge we occasionally frequent are dead.

Where did we end up? Dinner. O.k. Don't get me wrong, dinner was good; maybe not as good as what they charged us, but it was good. Carnivorous Dragon had the Veal, Fuzzy Medic had the Salmon. But, after dinner we stared at each other. Next? Arcade? No, too kiddo. Ice Cream? Nope, too full. Bar? Neither of us wants to drink. Mall? Ok, Mall it is. Drive acrossed town and... Mall closed 5 minutes ago.

15 minutes later we're at Walmart. Then back to the house. Where Demon and Lady Elise have declared "Movie Night" and kidnapped The Wingman. Fuzzy plugs int GoT on the computer, The Living Room is full of Oz the Great and powerful, and the nerves in my back go off, effectively ruining the rest of my night.

Official Score: Minions - 1     Dragon: 0

Welcome to the Clan!

For behold, I am Wren the Wonder Dragon.... and I bring you tales from the archive of our Clan. Those of you who are Clan (or Pack, or Mine) you know who you are. (Epically you Reverend Mother Elise). All names mentioned here are strictly fictions, and made up for our own purposes. Characters should bear no resemblance to anything or anyone living or dead, and are mainly leftovers from old role-playing game campaigns, therefore don't sue me...

I really have no idea why I started this, other than A) everyone seems to have one, and B) it seemed like a good Idea at the time? What do I intend to post on here? IDK... I guess we'll all just follow along and watch as it happens.

Apologies in advance for missing or excessive "c"'s. the C key is stuck, even after Fuzzy spent 2 hrs cleaning the frelling thing this morning. Running theory is that one of the Minions spilled a soda on it.

For those of you who have NO IDEA what I'm talking about, Here's the Cast list:

CAST: (in order of appearance, somewhat)

Wren the Wonder Dragon - Me, Author of this Blog, Pack Alpha, occasionally Wife, Mom, Student,
                                             and to some Official Pain in the Ass.

Fuzzy -                                 My husband, also Dad, the Medic, and occasionally the thing that
                                             vexes me.

The Minions -                     My offspring, fruit of my loins, future of my genetic line. There are only
                                            3 but they feel like 300.
         Demon -                     The teenage Minion. Often found with questionably clean socks and a
                                            headphone in one ear. Brilliant but lazy.
         Pookie -                     The grade-school Minion, short tempered, unpredictable, brilliant. Often
                                            found in possession of LEGOS and a Transformer. Speeks
                                            Cybertronian fluently.
         Fruit Salad -               The youngest, but also the fastest Minion in the house. Pre-school aged
                                            and thinks he's 16. Also unpredictable and brilliant. Often found tailing
                                            Pookie and copying his every move. Speeks Cybertronian passably.

Reverend Mother Elise -    My Sister, best friend, second in command, The Clarice to my
(aka Lady Elise)                 Ouiser. Often found in another state, when she's not sitting next
                                            to me in jail.


That should get you through for the now. I'll update the cast list as we go.
