Don't touch that button - Science musuem

Saturday: Eragon

We watched Eragon tonight. It was disappointing. If it hadn't been connected to a book it might have been ok (although no better than ok), but since I was expecting certain things that didn't happen it was disappointing.

Friday: girl's night

Some girls from my Bible Study got together last night for a girl's night. We had Chinese, did manicures/pedicures, and watched a movie. And talked a lot. It was great fun.

Thursday: work and texts

Wednesday was a really good day at work. I had something to do pretty much the whole day. Today, however, was much slower. I'm wondering if part of it is because I'm only at a given place for part of the week...no one can give me anything that is really time sensitive. I am considering exploring the option of working a half day at one place and a half at the other. Traveling would be a little more annoying, but maybe I could get a little more work. The thing is that I'm not sure if there is more work and if my idea would really make a difference. All that I want (right now) is to know what I'm doing the next day and know that it is enough to keep me busy. Or mostly busy. Oh well. I still have a job. (Speaking of which, layoffs will now be announced mid-July).

Now for the funny part of the post. This actually happened a while ago, but shows my incompetence with text messaging. Someone asked "When is Ben's birthday?"

This is how far I got before I accidentally pushed send (and then cancel) while I was trying to find a "2".

Since that didn't work at all, I thought I would try spelling twenty six. That word turned out to be too long.

I ended up with an e-mail. I still haven't figured out numbers, so please don't text me a question that requires a big number answer.

Tuesday: headache

Around 4:30 I started to get a headache. Sigh. Well, maybe it won't be too bad. Ben is ready to go a bit earlier than I expected, so I start walking out. Oh bother, my head is really starting to hurt. I happen to see Laura for the second time that day (we rarely see each other) and I almost missed her as I try to keep my head still. I make it home doing ok, but not great. Then it exploded. But since it is my normal headache, as long as I am still it stays away. When I got up about 20 min later it wasn't completely gone, but it was good enough to move to movie night. By the time we reached there it was gone. Phew.

Ben and I are also doing a pushup challenge...1oo pushups within about 10 minutes after 6 weeks. I do mine against the wall because I'm not strong enough to do them on the floor. Anyway, both of our arms are now feeling funny.

Sunday: sunflowers

I received a sunflower starter kit from my secret sister at church today. So I put it together tonight. I also added a bit of protection from Flurry...I might put it outside tomorrow without the protection.

Saturday: science museum

Today we went to the science museum in Syracuse. It was a lot of fun and a very good museum.

There was a jungle gym type thing which didn't really have anything to do with science but was a lot of fun to explore


There were buildings, with intricate detail, made of toothpicks...
(and heavy machenery building the buildings...also made from toothpicks).
And a seashell climbing wall

We were going to go to a recommended restaruant, but at 4pm the wait was 1.5 hours. So we went to Buffalo Wild Wings instead.

All in all, a great indoor day. And we were all glad we weren't camping since it was a steady rain all day.
