Thursday: Nathan

I have a great brother! However, I don't have many recent pictures of just the two of us.

Wednesday: In the last 24 hours...

In the last 24 hours...

1. Have you had the flu?

2. Have you had a headache?

3. Have you been stressed?

4. Have you had a heart attack?

I seriously answered a survey with that question today.

Tuesday: headaches and legos

This morning I had a little headache. The kind that is annoying but doesn't really make you stop doing anything you want. By the time I got into work, I thought I'd take an Excedrin. Then the Excedrin kicked in...I felt so much happier! It's amazing how feeling almost well and completely well make such a difference.

For Christmas, I got a lego ice cube tray. Below is my creation. They're rather slippery, so don't really stack well.

Although making the blocks colorful was a fun idea, it turns out the ice melts when you touch it and you end up with a big mess.

Monday: going into McDonalds

Today we decided to go to McDonalds for dinner, and when I pulled into the parking lot there was no one there. So we got the best parking spot. Why is it the best? Because Ben and I both got to be in the cold for the least amount of time. My picture below describes it much better.

Our car is sad. Not only are we leaving it, it is dirty, has bad belts, and a fuel smell. However, we made it slightly happier by going through the car wash on the way home! I really do love car washes.

Sunday: chap stick

This past week I finished a tube of cherry chapstick. I've kept the tube around so that I would remember to post about this accomplishment. I don't use chapstick a ton, so to a) not lose the tube and b) actually finish it was very surprising!

I had something else I was going to say, but now I don't remember. Maybe that I started using some of my new quilting supplies? They've been fun. I had to take a break from making progress on the quilt to fixing something on it, but I'm about back to making progress again. Yay!

Oh! I have a friend (the Ertman-Towbridge Family) who is pregnant and on bedrest. With a one year old. I was thinking it might be fun to post your most addictive webpage so that she can use it as a time sink. If you have one that would be fun with a one year old, that would be even better. I think mine will be... http://icanhascheezburger.com/ and http://dictionary.reference.com/fun/crossword/index.html

Saturday: cold hands, warm heart

Today I spent some of my Christmas money on a little space heater. In the past we've just kept the door to the computer room closed and that has helped with the temperature, but this year our hands were still getting cold. So we'll try something different.

I also went to a women's Bible Study at church. It was pretty good. I car-pooled with Jess which was fun.

Nathan thinks I should see deer-cow at our local deli.

"the taste of wild game but with the convenience of your local deli. Cow-deer. Now at your local supermarket"

Friday: deer-cow

We were driving home after dinner yesterday and saw some deer in the road. So obviously, we slowed down. Then the fattest deer we've ever seen came into the road...Ben and I both thought it looked more like a cow. I thought it because of the face, Ben because of the rump. We laughed about it for the rest of the way home.
