Monday: poll

I'm sad to see that sausage without syrup won. I'm happy though that it barely won!

Today was Day 1 of Crazy Days. It was rather crazy, although at least had some lulls during which I got some other stuff done. The weirdest thing today was a type of coax wire that I was trying to get the coax stripper to strip. It had something kind of sticky on the inner conductor so it didn't strip correctly and then the foil was glued to the dielectric...we had never seen that before. I spent quite some time trying get to the foil off without the dielectric and it just didn't work. It turned out that the foil was supposed to stay there.

Aren't you glad to know that now?

Sunday: PB cookies

We had a potluck at church today. It was delicious...and there was plenty of food. (Phew.) I made the super easy gluten free peanut butter cookies and they were a hit! We have a large family that is gluten free at the church, and so these cookies are a good thing to make so they have something to eat. But other people kept coming by and saying how delicious they were. It was a nice feeling.

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.
