SPINNER!!!

This post is mostly for journaling purposes so Cory and I can read it in 20 years and laugh. I am sure our kids will make fun of us for this one too!
Cory's wedding ring is made out of Tungsten and nothing can scratch it but a diamond. Cory is fascinated with the fact that it can spin for a pretty long time. If you have ever seen him sitting at a table bored I am sure you have witnessed him spinning his ring and watching in amazement.
The other night we were watching Grey's Anatomy and the episode finished at about 11:15. We both looked at each other and said that we weren't tired. So Cory took off his ring and started spinning it on our coffee table. He looked at me and said "I have a GREAT idea!". He went and got a stop watch and said that we should see how long it could spin. I was in charge of starting and stopping the clock and he would spin it. His first time he got 33.0 seconds or something. So he kept doing it over and over again. He said "Gen, what should we name this game?" I replied "SPINNER". Once we decided the name he would yell SPINNER really loud right before he made it spin. I started laughing the first time he did it, to the point of almost peeing my pants (it isn't that hard when you are 33 weeks prego). Cory thought he could make it to a minute so he kept trying and trying. He promised me that once he got a minute we could be done. He finally made a record at 1:04.7. But like always when playing a game with Cory he wanted to break that record too. So he kept spinning away.
I finally took a turn and spinning and found out that I was horrible. My record ended up being 43.07 seconds. By this time it was 12:30 A.M.! Yes we played SPINNER for over an hour. And to make the story even funnier. . . we have played it the past two night as well!

Libby's husband has a tungsten ring and once he spins it I don't think I have ever seen it stop on it's own. I should tell him he should time it and see how long it goes!

Cory, do you remember that dumb game we played after we a good game of butt ball? Did we name it "nose digger" or something. "Yahtzee" after hours was always fun. I'm sure the neighbors hated us. Wow, Spinner totally brought back a flood of memories. We were fascinated with the dumbest things. I am glad some things never change but at least spinner doesn't leave scars.
