Thursday: exhausted

I was exhausted today after dinner, so I ended up taking a two hours nap. Hopefully I'll be able to sleep tonight :)

Wednesday: snow!

So it snowed yesterday. :) It mostly rained, but there was a little snow in there too. The when we woke up, there was snow on the ground!



Work has been ok. Some days have been flying by, others dragging. Not having a largish project to continuously fill my days has been annoying.

Monday: not much new again

Well, there wasn't much new again today.  I made some apple crisp with the last of the apples.  They were still good, just not very hard and not great for eating alone.

Sunday:errands

Today Ben and I did a lot of errands after church.  I had a 15% off to Kohl's so we both got some new work clothes.  I'm rather sad to be out of juniors and into misses for most of the clothes I've been buying lately, but oh well.  We also got our TV tuner and groceries.  It was a nice day, so we had to rake too, but that didn't take very long.

Saturday: rainy corn maze

Today I went to a corn maze with some ladies from church. The only problem was that it was raining out.  Really rainy.  But besides that it was fun. :)

Here we are afterwards...

Not much is new.  Warcraft has been fun.  My nap was nice.

Tuesday: misc

We finished the desks. They are also nice for guests. :D

I finished the Pickwick Papers (finally).

Monday: colonoscopy

Well, I'm sure everyone will be relieved to know that I have no colon problems. The doctor declared me healthy and told me (well, told Ben actually) to come back in 5 yrs.

Overall, it wasn't really a terrible experience. The two worst things were having to drink a lot of water with medicine in it over a short time and peeling a sticker off of myself from one of the vital sign measurers.

I'm pretty sure that Ben found me rather funny afterwards though. I was holding the pop after stopping by McDonalds he had to keep talking to me telling me to stay awake. My response was that I was awake...I had to hold the pop after all. However, I only remember about half of the trip. Then we got home and it was all I could do to make it to the futon and fall down on it. I also asked if the doctor gave Ben a picture of my colon. I still think that it would be cool...I mean, pregnant women come home with baby pictures and people with broken bones come home with bone pictures, why can't I have a colon picture?

That's all the funny stuff I guess. I proceeded to take a long nap and was more normal when I woke up.

Sunday: pre-colonoscopy and desks

Well, today has been pretty laid back. We got my desk hutch and drawers put together, so that's almost done. Flurry supervised.


I'm also having a colonoscopy tomorrow, so today was my clearish liquid diet day. It turns out that one package of jell-o is more "food" that I expected and chicken broth actually has a lot of flavor. I'm not very hungry right now, but I do feel like eating. Most things sound really good right now. But I guess I can wait until tomorrow.

Tonight was our once yearly meal of squash and ham. It was delicious.

We can play footsie now too :D

Tuesday

We have a tree in the back that seemed to turn bright red overnight, because neither Ben or I remember it being like that yesterday.

We also got the hutch on Ben's desk.  It still needs some doors.

Monday: desks!

Our desks came in today!  These are the packages (after we inspected suspesious spots for damage.)

Having some of the pieces put together and most of the pieces strewn about:

This is the bottom half complete.  We still need to put the hutch and two drawers together, but since it was usable we decided to stop for the evening.

Sunday

Well, I had to work for a few hours today.  It wasn't exciting, but it wasn't that bad I guess.  The tree for which I raked leaves yesterday proceeded to dump the same number of leaves as before so you can't even tell that I raked.

Friday: an almost still life

My camera and I had fun together.

Thursday: horde city raid

Today we raided all four of the horde cities. We killed three of the four bosses, but by the end the horde realized what we were doing and stopped us. It was a lot of fun.

Update: perfect attendance

I was given an award today for perfect attendance at work in 2007. We also got ice cream sundaes. It was yummy.

Monday

Work wasn't very exciting today.  Oh well, I guess that happens sometimes.

I think hand-picked apples taste so much better than ones from the store.

We ordered some desks today!  We're excited to get off the card tables and have places to store stuff.

Sunday

Not much happened today.  We were pretty much able to come home straight after church which was really nice.  I played a lot of WoW and did some chores.  And ate apple stuff. :D

Saturday: apples

Today we did apple activties with Clay and Jess.  First we went apple picking, then we found some warm donuts and cider, and after dinner we made apple crisp.  It was a lovely evening.




Friday: TV and cold

Tonight we turned the heat on.  I love having the heat on due to the smell and the sound, but do not like the bill.  Maybe it'll get warmer so we can turn it off for a bit again.  

Dusty and Laura came over after dinner tonight and we tried their Digital TV thing with our TV.  It made about three channels come in really well, so I expect we'll get one and put it with the upstairs TV.  While they were doing this and Laura and I and were trying to watch Are You Smarter than a 5th grader.  The guy almost won a million but forgot one is a factor. :(  Good story, I know.

Thursday: VP debate

Hmm, well even though Biden seemed to have some problems with nationality adjectives (I heard Serbs and Bosinacks and Sheas instead of Sheites), I think he won in my opinion.  He answered the questions more directly that Palin who sounded a few times like a goody-two shoes ('I have never changed my mind').  I also remember her saying that she was governer of a major energy producing state just a few more times.

We'll see if I agree with my statement(s) tomorrow. :)  I was only half paying attention so I could be wrong on some of my assesments.

Thursday: nostalgia

I'm experiancing a bit of nostalgia.  I just removed all of the papers I used for research/thesis and am about to recycle them.  I have spent a lot of time with these papers...looking through them to get facts, looking through them to see if they support somthing I want to say, trying to find methods on how to do something, etc.  I kept putting off getting rid of them in case I still needed them, but I think all my excuses are gone and other stuff needs to be stored in the space.  Sigh.



I did keep the "how to read ear notches on pigs" sheet though.  It is just too cute.

Wednesday: one less

I received my third Gardasil shot today.  Yay.  They are a bit painful. :(

In other news, I'm glad that we're over hump day.  I just wasn't very excited about going into work this morning.
