Thursday: Thanksgiving

Yay Thanksgiving. We were in charge of bringing the potatoes, and since we both hate it when we run out of mashed potatoes we made a lot. Needless to say, we had plenty of leftovers.

We ate at Clay and Jess' with several friends.

We played games afterwards, including Cranium. The scuplting clay was dry, so we used some of the mashed potatoes instead. While much more fun, mashed potatoes really don't work as well as clay.

Wednesday: vacation!

Yay! We're on vacation!

Today went well. I finished the thing I had to finish and got something else ready for Monday. There is a whole bunch of other things waiting for Monday too, so luckily I won't be bored when I get back. Also lucky is that they can wait until I get back.

There is apparently a canned pumpkin shortage this year. I happened to find a can of pumpkin in the cupboard, and it hasn't even expired yet! The only problem is we don't have anything to put it in...but we'll probably bring it with us tomorrow in case someone happens to have something to put it in but no pumpkin. Hey, it could happen.

Tuesday: green peppers

I remembered what my thought was from yesterday, although it really isn't that profound. It is that I've started enjoying green peppers in food. Growing up I never really had green peppers, but a few months ago I started putting them in my breakfast burrito. And then I put them on my Subway sandwich. And then I put them on my own sandwich. I'm working my way up to eating them plain, but just haven't had the desire to do so yet.

Only one more day of work! I have something kind of big due though, so hopefully it won't be too stressful. It's actually something small, but a big step for me. I'm supposed to be helping people by doing this but I'm not convinced that they couldn't have done it faster. Sure, it is one of those things that just takes some time to learn, but the idea behind giving it to me was that several people are out this week and I was the least swamped person.

Monday: pilly

So I've noticed that some of my lighter (vs. heavier) pants seem to be getting a little pilly by where the crease is when I sit down. I've never seen this before on any pants...is there any way to get rid of it or at least stop it from getting worse?

I had something else profound to say, but I can't remember it. Maybe tomorrow.

Friday: stripes and mice

Today I wore a shirt with blue stripes to match the blue wire I was working with.

Announcer: Let's see what the interesting conversation is today...

Ben: I use the side mouse button to cast my spell.

Amanda: I found out that my mouse was on my desk again last night.

Blank stares from everyone.

Amanda blankly stares back.

Dusty: oh, you mean a real mouse?

Ben goes into a laughter convulsion.

Amanda: yeah, it left me some presents on my mouse pad. I never thought about it like the real mouse being by the electronic mouse.

Ben: I was wondering where else your [electronic] mouse would be.

Thursday: lame?

Today I did a lot of unrolling, measuring, checking labels, and rerolling blue wire. I knew I was going to have to do this yesterday, so I wore a blue shirt so I would match the wire. Lame? Maybe.

Tuesday: a row

I have a row done!
