Wednesday: winter can come

Today was a beautiful day, although I spent most of it inside. After work Ben blew out the sprinklers and I raked half the lawn.

Oh, I thought of a funny story of the day. Phew. I thought that the whole post today was going to be two sentences.

I went into the break room to heat up some water for my spice tea. It must have been break time because there were about ten people there. I cleaned out my mug and put it (and the water) in the microwave. Apparently someone had been standing in front of one of the vending machines for about ten minutes. He finally decided on a burrito and everyone cheered for him and told him it was the most entertaining thing they had seen all day. He must have been a bit flustered because he proceeded to put is burrito in the same microwave as my water. (Note: the microwave was running.) Hilarity ensued, but I don't really know how to explain it. A lot of disputing whether or not he could see the mug in the microwave.

Tuesday: annoying

Today was kind of an annoying day. The car was making a funny noise. I had a headache that would go away with medicine, but kept coming back. I didn't want to be at work.

However, Ben did a really good job leading the Bible Study tonight. People talked quite a bit there are always a bunch of insights when that happens.

Monday: Ben cracks me up

Announcer in Amanda's head: Ben and Amanda are talking about what to have for dinner when they get side tracked to talking about things they want to have for dinner but don't have the ingrediants. This includes Shepard's Pie and Baked Spaghetti. Let's see how it's going.

Ben: Shepard's pie is usually made from lambs, not from chicken.

Amanda: Oh, I guess that makes sense. Shepards tend sheep.

pause

Amanda: What do you call a cow tender?

pause.

Amanda: It isn't a joke.

Ben: Oh. I don't really know. But I do know what you call a chicken tender.

Amanda: what?

Ben: delicious.

Announcer: and that concludes today's Random Conversation.

Sunday: I crack myself up

Amanda: oh, my sock is getting a hole in it!

Ben: Sock, heal thyself.

*pause. Nothing happens*

Amanda: Darn it.

Laura: A potato isn't a vegtable.

Dusty: it grows under the ground. It's a vegtable.

Amanda: Worms grow underground. Are they vegetables?

All my quilt piece are in half blocks!

Friday: snow and food

Here's a picture for Nathan; it must have snowed quite a bit last night. By the time we reached the bottom of the hill on our way to work, it was back to mostly green with just a bit of snow. (On a side note, the schools had a snow day. They have snow days ALL THE TIME.)

Due to a pro-tip from Joe and Julie, we found our favorite chicken helper at Walmart. Now we don't need to get it from the Family Fare in Hudsonville, Michigan. Since we don't go very often, I stocked up on it.

Thursday2: snow

It snowed out! I just went downstairs to make so tea because my stomach was a little off, and noticed there was quite a bit on the deck. Fun fun!

Thursday: hi

Well, I'd like to thank everyone for posting on my question two days ago (and feel free to post if you haven't yet.) I'm sure everyone will be relieved to know that no one said that they might think about doing it differently in an alternate universe. I found it really interesting how so many people came to the same conclusion coming from different view points.

What else excites me is the anonymous people that posted. I can't really figure out who they are, so either they're people that I haven't talked to for a while or they're people I don't know...and in either case it is pretty exciting.
