Saturday: Flamingos and bowling

Well Friday night Dusty was standing around on one leg, which prompted me to act like a flamingo. I didn't have my camera with me, so the next night we took so more of Dusty standing around like a silly normal person and me standing around like a flamingo. Oh, I forgot to mention that everyone thought my arms/wings looked odd.



Bowling: Dusty and Laura, Ben as a Turkey.

Satruday: Heart attack due to door

So, we had previously bought an over-the door towel hook for our bathroom. However, it turns out that those aren't great for the door frame (at least in our case). So we go and get a screw-into the door towel hook.

We check the size of the screws...safe.
We remind ourselves to not drill all the way through the door...check.
I start drilling...thud. Heart attack. We drilled through the door.
We check the door...no holes on the other side.
We stand around in relief for a bit...phew.
We learn something about some doors...they might be hollow.

Wednesday: Hump day

Well, today was fine. I was going to the restroom an outside there was a sign that said "Incident 123587." Since it sounded like someone died or was raped in there I did pause, but then decided I would try my luck anyway. After getting inside, it looked as though one of the toilets just had problems.

I'm thinking about getting this: It's a hand warmer for your mouse and mouse hand.

Tuesday: Misc. stuff

1. Greetings.
2. Yesterday I played City of Heroes. I decided I'm not a fan. It isn't as pretty as Warcraft. It also seemed like a lot of killing and not a other stuff. It seems funny to base a game on how pretty it is, but I find I do it a lot. It must be the feminine side of me.
3. Well, I managed to pull a groin muscle today. While I wish I could say something cool like I did it while exercising, I think I did it while sitting down. I got up at one point and it really hurt.
4. I have a ton of laundry to fold. It wouldn't be so bad if it was the normal amount, but it seems like extra. Especially with extra new clothes and stuff the baskets are heaping. I suppose this isn't something that I should be complaining about though...
5. I'm supposedly bumped from the raid tonight. I sometimes wonder if it's a problem that I'm so happy when bumped. Maybe it's just because we've done this stuff kind-of a lot now.
6. In an effort to not do anything else, I took a bunch of picture of Flurry. This was the cutest.

Sunday: A nice nap

Well, today was a lot like yesterday except we went to church and I took a longer nap.

I kind of want to include a picture since I haven't for a while, but I also don't want to get up. Oh! I'll include an oldie-but-goodie.

This is a much younger Amanda

Saturday

Hmm...well, we did some shopping today with our gift cards from Christmas and got a ton of stuff. It helped that Kohl's had a 50% off "whites" sale. When we got to Target we both decided we were grumpy so we just stopped and went home.

We finally watched the last episode of Hereos, Season 2. It was pretty good.

Sorry for the boring update. We just didn't do much today.

Thursday: Random stuff

Here are some of my favorite pictures from Florida. The rest can be seen here.


Ashlyn and Amanda learning to use a camera:


Allison and the coconut she peeled:
The family on New Year's Eve:

Ben taking a nap (he was a bit sick):


We didn't go to work today due to traveling problems yesterday. We wanted at least a little down-time. So we'll have a one-day work week this week. Almost not worth it, but I figure we need to go back to work at some point.

Flurry was really cuddly last night. She even came and cuddled in my arms for a little bit...something she never does.

Almost all the Christmas decorations are down.

Kohls is having a huge bedroom stuff sale through Saturday that we're going to try to get to...we got a bunch of gift certificates for Christmas for stuff that we couldn't get on the plane.
