Today is Steve's and my fourth anniversary. He has beat me in Scrabble the last two nights, so tonight as an anniversary present I wanted to give him a good Scrabble butt-kicking. Both kids were, amazingly, asleep at 8:30. Steve went out to get us ice cream while I set up the board and got ready for a peaceful evening of winning at Scrabble, eating ice cream, and enjoying some time alone with Steve. Of those three, I did get to eat the ice cream. Both kids woke up around 9:30 and were tired and cranky for the rest of the night. (I do have to give Emma credit, because she handled it pretty well when she realized Steve had gone to get ice cream and we'd eaten it without her.) And, I bloody lost again! DARN IT! I am going to beat that guy if it's the last thing I ever do!

Ugh! This window from Internet Explorer - which we never even use - keeps popping up. I ran SpyBot and cleared out all the nasties, and now the dumb window just popped up again. Stupid virusy stuff.
