Well, I went into work for just a little bit today. I was hoping to be there under an hour and was there for just over, so not too bad. It would have been really short if I could have found the thing that I was looking for.
Then after an early nap I did more domestic stuff than normal...I made supper, strawberries with chocolate and chex mix. I also pinned another hem for my tablecloth.

Thursdsay: what a day
what a day, what a day. I knew it was going to be busy. We're pushing to have a lot of stuff done by 3:59am Monday morning. (ok, so we won't actually be working Sunday night, but you get the idea). Anyway, it brings us to a big milestone and we really need some good press. So I'm going along, doing my thing, thinking it is busy but handlable. Then someone comes and says we also need this other thing to be done. Oh really, I was told (not just under the impression but told) we weren't doing it...we ended up doing it. It isn't a very big thing to finish up, but it meant that I needed to scramble to get some guys going on it. In the middle of this I completely forgot about my doctors appointment. I felt bad about that.
It was a long and exciting day, so now I'm going to go to bed at 9. I'll probably read for a little bit, but I don't know how long I'll last...

Friday: our morning
While Ben and I were getting ready this morning, Flurry was in the bathroom with us. This is normal; there's water in the bathroom. Suddenly we hear her loud there-is-a-bug-it-has-to-die meow. It was rather surprising, since this is winter and there are no bugs. We look and she is pacing by the wall near the window.
She had found a nail.
She was so sure it was a bug though! Ben held her up so that she could feel it, which only sort of convinced her. She stopped pacing and meowing, but continued to keep her eye on it.
Then the smoke alarm went off. This surprised me a bit since there was no smoke and I thought we had just changed that battery. I hurried over and smelled, but there was nothing to be smelled. It started beeping once in a while so I knew it was just a battery thing.
Except it followed me to work.
It was my pager.

Wednesday: drilling
So Ben was doing some drilling today. No big deal. I was in the computer room, he was in the basement. I heard the drill so I knew Ben was drilling but then I smelled a burning smell. Then the burning smell got really strong so I hurried down the stairs, slightly worried.
Well, nothing bad had happened. He was just drilling near the vent so the smell quickly went everywhere.
I had another thought but I forget what it was.
We really only got one aircraft yesterday. I was mistaken. I thought I heard the second one come in but I guess it was something else.

Tuesday
Today was pretty much the same as most other days. I worked. I solved problems. I made problems. I hoped to solve more problems than I made. (I think I failed today.)
We had two aircraft come today which brings us up to five.

Sunday
We got a paper shreader today. I really enjoyed shreading paper.
I really like doing errands between 7:30-8:30am on Sundays...no one else is out! Parking is close, lines are short, and the roads are clear!
I think my camera battery and charger were taken by the airport since I put them in my checked luggage. I know the battery thing is new, but why did they have to take the charger too?!? Stay tuned to see if I get it back or not, but I doubt it. I might pull out the older camera until I get a charger again.

Saturday: valentines
Happy Valentine’s day! We didn’t really do anything special today, though we did make chocolate covered strawberries and ordered in pizza for dinner.
I lost my camera battery charger and extra battery. I brought it with me last weekend, and now I can’t find it. My camera battery of course has died, so I’m sad that I can’t take any pictures…there were some I wanted to today, such as the valentine from Nathan and Liz and Flurry on top of the car in the garage. She likes to escape into there, and usually she hides under stuff so we can’t get to her. However, she’s been doing a good job of only going in there when we’re doing things like changing the liter so I’ve just let her come in. I think she knows that know so has become a little more adventurous.

Thursday: kitchen
Tonight I rearranged the kitchen a bit. I just didn't like the cook ware that was in the lazy susan in the lazy susan because it was hard to get to. When I went home I saw that Pat had food in her lazy susan, so I decided to try that. So now the cook ware is in the pantry. The pantry really needs more shelves (I thought that even when there was food) because there is so much wasted space. That'll probably be a project, especially if I like the new arrangement.

Wednesday: taxes
I did our taxes tonight because I was curious as to whether we owed or received and how much. We get a nice refund! I know it is ideal to owe just a little bit, but let's be honest...that just isn't as much fun.

Sunday: home
I made it home! Again my flight was early...we were in the car leaving at the time the flight was supposed to get in. It was wonderful. Ben was very happy to see me, while Flurry seems to not care at all.
Saturday: Betsy's wedding

Friday: relaxation and rehersal
So I did have a wonderfully relaxing day. I read, slept, watched a movie, and did a little computer stuff. Oh, and took a shower. It was wonderful.
Betsy's rehersal was tonight. Dinner was good and we all laughed at some of their tales during dating. Then I was the picture person during the rehearsal...I took lots of pictures, so hopefully some of them turn out ok.

Thursday: the rest of the trip
The rest of the trip was also wonderful. I landed in Detroit a half hour early. Early! Can you believe it?!? I took a leisurely walk through the physodellic(sp?) tunnel, being happy the whole way through that was wasn't running, dodging people, about to throw up, etc. I think that place is the place I most regularly realize that I'm out of shape.
I saw someone waiting at my gate that looked like Nathan. I looked again, yeah, looks like him but he wouldn't be here. Well, maybe I should look from a different angle just in case. I saw a gold chain around his neck and again said, no, it isn't him. But every time I looked that way I had to do a double take. And then again when we were getting the luggage. It was a little sad that it wasn't actually Nathan.
It's kind of nice doing something by myself because I remember that I can do big stuff by myself, but I was also really missing Ben. I felt like I was missing something the whole time I was flying and I think it was him.

Wednesday: almost done!
I only have one more day of work this week! Woot! Then I'm flying to Michigan for Besty's wedding. I'm looking forward to Friday...no work and no chores. Although also no Ben. :(
Today was another long day at work, although I do feel like I got a lot done. And I don't think I'll have to take any vacation hours since I'll have 40+ hours in by the time I leave tomorrow.
Ben made a new recipe today...lemon Parmesan chicken. It was really good.

Sunday: superbowl
Today we watched the superbowl with Dusty and Laura. None of us really had a team we were rooting for, so we kind of ended up rooting for the Cardinals because they were the underdogs. However, we will all be happier at work tomorrow because there are tons of Steelers fans around here.
I think my favorite commercial was the Doritos' crystal ball. The tires on the moon car was second.
