Thursday: woo-hoo

I'm not working tomorrow, which is rather exciting. I don't even feel guilty because there isn't a lot of stuff on my to-do list.

Doug and Heather are here for the weekend which is one reason I'm not working tomorrow. I expect a semi-lazy morning and then we'll head over to see them.

I took these pictures a while ago, but they're true almost every morning. They are little spider webs that are in the grass. I don't recall ever seeing this before in the places I lived, and for sure not as many as we have. They're actually kind of cute.

Tuesday: croquet

Today we had people over from Bible Study. The most exciting part is that we "used" our lawn for the first time and played croquet. I'm not sure I've ever played before, but the slope and the divets made for an interesting game.

Monday: new work

Today I didn't do as much with the project I've been working on for months. It wasn't completely gone, but significantly less than normal. So I got to work on some new things and things that I've been putting off for a while, which was a lot of fun.

Weekend: weekendish

Oh, lots of things and not much happened this weekend. :) We meet our neighbors down the hill from us a little bit more and chatted with them for quite a while. We cleaned/organized the basement so it looks a lot better. We ordered a toolbox/workbench thing. I didn't come close to finishing all my chores.

Friday: donuts

Today I'm claiming victory for my work project. There's actually one more paint layer that needs to go on though, so I'm going to claim victory on Monday too.

This evening we made donuts!! You take biscuits, flatten them and put a hole in, and then butter and sugar them. So they end up tasting like biscuits with sugar, which is pretty close to donuts.

Thursday: questions

I was checking my old journals a few days ago and came across an excersise where you have to write 100 questions. About 1/4 of them had been answered, and they were fun so I thought I'd do it again.

1) Will I ever get to <10 e-mails in an inbox?
2) How long will I continue to play WoW?
3) Will I finish my sub-project tomorrow?
4) How long will it take for our extra-thick dirt to stop feeling squishy?
5) Where does Flurry sleep at night when she doesn't join us?
6) What does Flurry do during the day when we aren't at home?
7) How am I going to get to 100 questions?
8) Will I ever finish all the chores I want to finish in a given weekend?
9) What will our next piece of furniture be?
10) Will I ever have regular and meaningful devotions?
11) When will I get promoted?
12) When will we have kids?
13) How many books have I read so far in my life?
14) What it be like to be a moon-settler?
15) Who invented the donut?
16) Why do I like donuts so much?
17) What will my biggest complaint be when I'm old?
18) How will I die?
19) What do people think when they see me coming down the hall?
20) What will heaven be like?
21) Where will I live in ten years?
22) What would I do if Ben died?
23) Would I be able to be optimistic with a life-threatening illness?
24) What does God want me to be doing differently?
25) Will flying cars ever be a reality?
26) Will I ever fly in a helicopter?
27) Would I rather be a person and have to work or a bird and get to fly but also not have a food pantry?
28) Will I ever work-out on a regular basis?
29) Why does Flurry make such weird noises?
30) When will the United States fall?
31) Why can't I retain information often?
32) What would be the best hair style on me?
33) Will we manage to write "Active Peris: 10 years later?"
34) How much of my time do I spend worrying about things that don't matter?

I decided to do it in more than one sitting. More to follow.

Wednesday: almost

Well, I'm almost done with one aircraft. I've been saying all week that I'm hopeful the next day will prove to be "the last day." But tomorrow I'm fairly sure of it. Hehe. We'll see what actually happens.

I was taking a nap and got a terrible leg cramp. It woke me up instantly and I instantly knew what was going on even though I couldn't open my eyes because I was still sleepy. I don't think I've ever had one that bad before.
