Sunday: polar bear and potluck

Today is WoW's 4 year annivesary, so they gave everyone a pet polar bear. I've decided it's going to replace the white kitten as my favorite pet. (Although I did tell Flurry she can be an honorary polar bear since they're the same color and in the same cat family.) Oh, I'm the owl next to the bear.



There was a potluck at church. We were the 4th-from-last people to get our food and there were slim pickings for the sides. There was plenty of meat though. So we decided to get dessert at the same time as our food which was a good idea because those were going quickly too. But it was fun to have lunch our friends (and actually we ended up eating dinner with them too).

Thursday: better

So today went much better than I expected. Yesterday's worst thing is getting worked without problems. The thing I don't know how to fix I have a few ideas to fix and know more now, although I haven't figured anything out quite yet. Oh, another things seems very lost and I'm not sure what to do about that. The other problems are not really problems just things I need to do.

And tomorrow is Friday!

Wednesday: not a good day plus landscaping

Today the last 30 min of work was rather terrible. One thing after another went wrong. Some where small things and easily fixable, some I'm not sure how to fix, and one is bigger and more annoying.


But the landscaping was finished when I got home and we went to some friends' for dinner and that was delicious.

Tuesday: potluck

We had a potluck with our Bible study tonight. It was a lot of fun with good food. Ben also had his first birthday cake of the year.

I know this picture is blurry, but I really like it. I think the bluriness makes us cute.

Monday: deep thoughts

Well, I've found several college friends' blogs and family blogs lately and you'll probably see them show up on the side bar, although I doubt you'll really care. However, after having so many blogs to read I realize that several of them have a lot of deep thoughts. I'm always complaining that I don't have deep thoughts, but I realize that isn't true. So I'm starting a once per week series on my deep thoughts.

Upcoming topics include: abortion, giving, working, consuming. Hmm, four weeks. That'll be enough to start at least. You will start to see the liberal Christian side of me.

The first one was yesterday. :) I decided that it was deep enough to be part of the series.

Sunday: serving dinner

After church our Bible study served dinner at the Y for people. After being the first person in the serving line and having to say "no" to a lot of people (no, we aren't serving seconds yet; no, you can't bring food home to your husband) I have a glimpse at how hard similar social work jobs might be. You do good/nice things for people but you have to serve so many people that you also have to put your foot down and say no a lot. I'm sad to think of the people who didn't get food today because I couldn't give their spouse food to take out of the building, yet the coordinator of the event said not to.

Moral of the story: don't ask if you can do something, just do it. I saw one guy packing up some food to take home that we gave him because we assumed it was for himself.

Moral number 2: if there are two lines, hit each line once because they won't recognize you as quickly.

Saturday: laziness and hard work

Today Ben and I buckled down and worked on leveling our characters. I hit 72 near the end of the night and I forget what Ben is up to. Amalle (my character) did a lot of running, blasting, healing, and carrying while I did a lot of sitting. Ah well, it is nice to have days like this...while several weekends have been fairly lazy this one tops them all. I got the essential chores done (kitty litter, cleaning the kitchen, and putting the laundry away) and told myself that was all I have to do this weekend.

For all of you worried about my health sitting here so much, tomorrow will be much different since we have church and some plans for afterwards. And next weekend I won't be letting myself off so lightly. :)
