Weekend: big happenings

This weekend Jess and Clay had their baby...congrats! We're visiting them tomorrow and are excited.

This weekend was also the women's retreat...it was really good. The speaker was Marlyn from Central Wesylean (Aunt C, do you know her?), and she did an amazing job. It was also really nice to get to know some people better and to meet several new people.

Thursday: Indian food

1) WIPs. These are things that pneumatically strip wire. Sounds cool, right? Well, there are a lot of them and they need tending once in a while. Since I'm the newest person I get to tend to them. Sounds fun, right? I get to take them apart, put them together...that part really is fun. The problem is that I'm really rather incapable of fixing them by myself though. I think about 10-15 have needed help in the past two months and I've been able to fix one by myself. One. There are currently four waiting for my attention, but I just don't really like them.

2) We went out for Indian food tonight. It was good. We got the yummy mango drink and bread and curry. There are a lot of left overs. The tables had handrails on the sides. We were trying to figure out why, but didn't end up with a good reason.

3) The quote of yesterday: "Can you grab this [stuff I'm carrying]? I need to take out the garage."

Wednesday: white

Today I finished tracing out all of the quilt squares on the white cloth. That means I only have brown left. I didn't really enjoy brown much before because it is really dark and hard to see where the lines are.

So at work we got an upgrade to a program...I was a bit excited, because I didn't really like the old program. There are just a few problems...1) new data can only be accessed on the upgrade and 95% of the people don't have the new upgrade. 2) The upgrade interferes with adobe acrobat which in turn crashes my browser every time I try to open a file. (I can still save the file and open it though). 3) I have no idea what the upgrade changed because on my end it broke some buttons that used to work and fixed other buttons that used to be broken.

It would be rather humorous if it wasn't so annoying.

Tuesday: moving and blog

The Bible Study helped someone move this evening. We went a bit longer than planned, but not too much. We moved a lot of stuff, so that's good.

I (obviously) played the look of the blog again. I still have some changes to make but was excited to get a picture of my own in the background. I then proceeded to lose all of my friend links, so if you could please double check that you're on there (if you have a blog). I used the history of the browser and I think I got most of them back, but I still might be missing one or two that I had.

Monday: wheee!

We get to fall through the floor in one of the fights

Sunday: church

Today Ben and I spent a lot of time at church. Ben played drums, so we were there for practice and then for both services. (I did make a quick detour to get more thread because my first spool ran out last night!) Then after that we went to the youth group kick off because I'm going to be helping with it about one Sunday a month. I figured that since I'm at church anyway because of Ben I may as well volunteer somewhere. So we did a mall scavenger hunt, ate pizza, and played nerf gun wars. It was fun. And I met a bunch of new people!

But I have a slight headache now and am feeling just slightly out-of-sorts. I'll probably read for a bit and then go to bed.

Saturday: stick

Today I was going to put up a door stop in the garage. We noticed a small hole formed from where the door bangs it, so it was going to be a simple matter of just making a real hole and screwing the door stop down. Well, when I opened the door stop package I found out that they had sticky backs! I was pumped. So I just stuck it on the wall and a simple project turned out to be even simpler than I imagined.

Then I tried caulking and had a hard time with the caulking gun. But the places did get caulked and due to a Pro-tip on the caulk itself it even looks rather nice. The tip was to mask off the area getting caulked. So I did that and then when I pulled the tape off I had nice straight lines!

Ben and I went out to eat with Clay and Jess and talked for a really long time, but it was a lot of fun.

Oh, and yesterday we watched "I love you, Man." It ended up being really funny.
