Saturday: Henry V

Tonight Ben and I went to see Henry V. On the way there we were listening to NPR and they had their two sound effects guys do a sound effect show-down. I think that being a sound effects gal would be my 2nd highest dream job. It was rather awesome.

The play was good. It was the first time I had seen/read Henry V so I missed a lot of stuff, especially in the beginning. We went because we knew the person who did the sets, and they were great! Afterwards we got to go on-stage and take a closeup look which was cool...I'm not sure I've ever done that before.

Friday: how much?

As normal, we went out for dinner with Dusty and Laura. What was unusual is that we had to go to three restaurants before we found one with less than a forty minute wait. Phew. The Mexican place had a table for us right away, although the service wasn't great. Ben and I were waiting in line to pay our bill, and the group in front of us was dividing up their check at the register...normal for this restaurant. What wasn't normal is that after they left the total ended up being $35722.24. The guy running the register didn't look like he was having a good day.

Thursday: date

Ben and I had a date after work...we went to IHOP and then to see The Blind Side. A very enjoyable evening. Unfortunately, as we were leaving the movie theater the headache that had been threatening all day sort of exploded. :(

Tuesday: Travis

Travis came to visit us tonight! Yay!

Monday: syrup

Every time Ben and I have sausage with a breakfast food (pancakes, waffles, etc), we always have a discussion about whether or not syrup is good with sausage or not. I always say "YES!" Ben always says "YUCK!" Hence the survey on the side.

Sunday

This morning we woke up to a beautiful snowfall.

The quilt is finished!

Saturday: snow piles

This morning we finished shoveling. This is a better picture to see how high the drifts were.

Here is the awesome snow pile we shoveled.


And here I am on top of the snow pile!
