Plenty of entertainment to go around

My parents came up to visit today. I somehow managed to convince myself to clean my apartment for the first time in probably months. I'd been meaning to scrub everything in the bathroom and kitchen for a long time and I finally did it. It felt good to have that done and everything cleaned up. I received some very nice gifts for my birthday that should be fun to use and also good additions to my work clothes. I got a nice pair of khaki colored pants and a nice sweater to match. I also received a funny book from my parents called Funny Business that has been entertaining so far. Oh, and they brought me frosted sugar cookies from Eileen's Cookies and my most favorite candy bar ever -- Godiva dark chocolate with raspberry filling. Then I received some money to buy some Wii games and/or hardware. John bought me Super Paper Mario for the Wii (so i can continue playing the series I like), Pikmin and a Gamecube controller.

We went to dinner at Kona Grill for my birthday. John and I had some sushi as an appetizer. We ordered the caterpillar roll which always entertains me. I think it's because I always think it's so cute how they put the sprouts on the end for antennas and it actually looks like a curvy caterpillar with the avocado on the outside. It makes me laugh every time I order it. I was sad though because one of my favorite fish from the fish tank was gone. They used to have a blowfish in the tank and he always looked like he was singing "la la la la" really slow while floating around. He was fun to watch. They need to get a new one and not eat him this time. I almost ordered a Woo Woo drink off the menu, but I decided on something different. I wasn't in the mood for peach, but it would have been entertaining to tell people I drank a Woo Woo. I think they ran out of drink name ideas. Anyway, the dinner was very good.

After dinner, we stopped by Nebraska Furniture Mart to look around. I bought Wii Play, a nunchuck and Mario Party 8. Then we headed back to my apartment. I started my game of Pikmin which was entertaining. The little men that follow you around are so funny. It's fun to throw them too. Anyway, all in all a good day. And now I have plenty of games to play. Although, I will have to go buy Mario Galaxy whenever I need to return the game to Brad after he gets back from Canada.
