Thursday: musings

Hmm, well yesterday's two posts were actually on Wednesday, not Monday. It's sometimes interesting how I can so completely get what day it is mixed up. Except for Fridays usually. Speaking of which, tomorrow's Friday! Yay. I have to be into work earlier than normal, but maybe I'll be able to leave earlier too. We'll see.

I'm rather tired.

Monday: I'M NOT A SPAM BOT

I hate those things that make you copy letters and numbers that are hard to see to prove you're not a spam bot for the following reasons.

1) Half the time I can't tell what the letter/number is supposed to be. This is especially true of the ArsD website. I guess the other ones are at least legible.

2) They aren't real words. Real words I can type quickly. These random things I really have to think about and more often than not look at the keyboard to make sure I'm hitting the right key.

3) They involve numbers. Although I use numbers a lot, I'm not really a fan of typing them.

4) They take time.

Ok, so only the first one on one website is any real cause for frustration, but...sigh. If they could at least be words it would be nicer.

Sunday: Happy Palm Sunday

Happy Palm Sunday. During church we could hear the kids upstairs blowing noisemakers and, I assume, acting out Palm Sunday. It was cute.

Also, you can all rest more easily now. I hung the fire extinguisher in an easy to reach location instead of behind a lot of stuff. So if there is a fire, we'll be able to react about 5 seconds faster.

Saturday: ides of March

Happy Ides of March. Nothing went wrong for us today, so that's good.

We started the day by being super lazy. We woke up and read in bed until around 11. Did some chores, played some Warcraft, etc. Then we had dinner with Jess and Clay (from church). We went to a Thai restaurant and it was really good. I had pineapple fried rice. Then we played hand and foot. There were some exciting times...

The fourth (and final) hand just started. The boys are winning by 4000 points, which is pretty much too much for the girls to take back without a miracle. Amanda lays down her cards. Sweet! The girls are off! Jess plays and lays down a lot of cards. When it comes back to Amanda, she lays the rest of her hand and gets into her foot. Poor boys, they still haven't laid any cards down. Jess gets into her foot. Clay tries to lay down but comes up five points short. Amanda finishes! Yay! Well, still probably not enough to win, but fun. Clay looks in his foot. THREE red fives. Oh, maybe the girls can win after all. The points are totaled...The girls win by 500 points! It was an amazing comeback, one for the books.

Friday: Happy Pi Day!

Well, big things were afoot over here on Pi day. We had pizza for dinner:


Then we watched "Duke and the great Pie War"
And finally topped it off with some delicious home-made pies (and cookies, but we didn't eat those).

Thursday: Today felt like Thursday

Here's how the knitting is going so far.

I got my second monitor at work working! Huzzah! I've been waiting for about a month now.
