Thursdasy: happy Thanksgiving!

Happy (belated) Thanksgiving! It was a nice day over here...we relaxed in the morning and then went over to the Hilldore party. There were lots of people that we haven't seen for quite a while since we didn't make it to any holiday parties last year. And there was great food.

Wednesday: Ben is n^n!!

Today Ben is 27. The is the last year he will ever be an n^n, as for his 4^4th birthday he will probably be dead. If not he can look at this blog post and laugh. But I won't know what cool things to get him that are part of the 4th dimension...

But I digress. Today Ben is a cube and so I got him a bunch of cubic gifts.

I told him he had to smile no matter what the gifts were. He got some post-it cubes, a candle, a chocolate orange in a cubic box, and a new DS game that I stacked with a lot of old DS games to make it into a cube. He was a little let down when he realized that 6 of the 7 games he already owned.

Tuesday: rehersal

We had the rehearsal today. I was the unappointed photographer. I need to learn about my camera better, but some pictures came out and most of the pictures from Cheryl's camera turned out.

The rehearsal dinner was delicious too.

Tuesday: we made it!

Well, the drive to Michigan took 12.5 hours. That's right, 2.5 hours longer than it should have. The first problem was snow. It was snowing pretty heavily in NY just as we were leaving, and so the roads hadn't been plowed or salted. Ben did the driving but was rather stressed. The next problem was snowplows. There were two in front of us plowing but not letting traffic go by. So we followed them at 30 mph for about 30 minutes. After that it cleared up and I drove while Ben rested. We went back and forth a few more times but ended up getting all the way to Hudsonville instead of stopping. One of us got just enough rest in time to relieve the other for a while.

But a few good things about it taking so long...we got better gas milage and I was able to see my dad before he went to work.

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.
