Wednesday: finished

Last night I finished a bottle of lotion! This is always a landmark experience for me because it doesn't happen often. It should probably happen more often, but sometimes the thought of putting on cold lotion just deters me from doing it.

Anyway, I have many more bottles of lotion to move on to...we'll see which one comes up next!

Monday2: This one's for Aaron and Heather

I love fail blogs that are weird things that show up in Google auto complete. So I thought I'd try a few of my own. While most of them weren't very original, this one made me laugh.

Monday: old food

Ben and I have slowly been trying to get rid of some of our "old food." You know, the food that is still good for eating but hasn't looked good since you got it at the grocery store?

Or the random food that your mom bought years ago and your dad gave you when you moved out of the house? (Like the 20 cans of new potatoes. They must have been on sale for a whole month and she could never remember that she had previously bought them. I wonder if she laughed about it when she got the 20th can.)

Today's ingredient was beef bullion cubes. I used up three while making a delicious French dip. It was the first time we've made it and not only was it good, it was super easy.

Sunday

I don't know what to write about today. So you're going to get a conversation from several weeks ago that I found hilarious. Since it was so long ago it might be modified a bit. Thanks go out to Amy, Brian, and Carolyn for their inspiration.

Amanda: yeah, they're the ABCs. We could do that with our kids! C, D, E, F, G...I'm not having five kids so that we can get all the way to H though.

Ben: Maybe we can include middle names.

Laura: What real words end in H? Maybe their initials could just be a word.

Amanda: Hah.

Dusty: Duh.

Amanda: But how can CDH or EFGH be a word?

Dusty: It's not. Are there any words that even have their letters in subsequent alphabetical order?

Amanda: no

Dusty: (weird look)

Ben: haha...as in lmno

Laura: hi.

Maybe you had to be there.

Saturday

Today I took over Ben's old monitors as he just got a new one. They're pretty nice.

Flurry started taking medicine for her paw tonight. About an hour afterwards she was limping worse than we've ever seen her. She seems a little better now though, so hopefully it was just a fluke.

The rest of the day was pretty relaxing. We cleaned and straightened the house, I took a nap, watched some Olympics, and played some Warcraft. I got a new Warcraft vanity pet! I also kept killing my hunter pet, but told Flurry that I wouldn't do the same thing to her...I love her a lot more than my virtual flamingo.

Thursday: short track

Here's why short track is my favorite winter event this year:

Announcer: and they're off!

Announcer: as they round the first corner we see the #1 guy in last place. That's a great place for him to be right now.

(Amanda: seriously? Last place is best?)

Announcer: two laps to go! #1 better make a move soon!

Announcer: and look at #1 now! He passed two people on the outside and one on the inside! #1 wins!!

(Amanda: wow. Just wow.)

And then I watched the relay. That was crazy too. People were everywhere, although it wasn't very exciting because two teams wiped out in the beginning.

Wednesday: things ahappenin'

Today was an eventful day!

We received the golden toliet that is going around church. The deal is that you can buy insurance up front to not get the toilet or pay $10 to have it removed. The proceeds go the youth group who are raising money for the 30 hours famine. Yay! I was hoping that we would get it at some point.

I also picked up my quilt. Here is a picture of the back.

I made a vet appointment for Flurry because she's been treating one of her paws a little funny. I'm now glad I did because she was limping a lot more today than we've seen her do in the past.

Finally, I covered up the white paint splatters on our red wall. It looks so much better and really for not that much work. I'm eying a few other places that could maybe use some similar treatment. I also found out that there is still a ton of dust on the high mantles and wall. There is now a bit less dust but I wouldn't call it clean. The remaining dust is rather invisible though, and that's all I really care about.
