Sunday: books

Last night I realized I had started book 2 in a series before book 1. It was rather depressing because there was a lot of the beginning of book 2 that was rather confusing. So I stopped book 2 and started book 1.

I'm still a bit annoyed.

Saturday: going crazy?

The scene: Amanda's office. There are a ton of papers on her desk and an empty plastic water bottle.

*The water bottle tips over.

*Amanda thinks "grr."

*The water bottle tips over again.

*Amanda thinks "YOU DUMB WATER BOTTLE! I'LL THROW YOU AGAINST THE WALL IF YOU MISBEHAVE!"

*Amanda starts laughing out-loud as she realizes that she just yelled at the empty water bottle.

*Amanda decides she might be going crazy.

*Amanda moves the water bottle to a safer location and continues her work.

Friday: hmm

So I was writing my post (which I have again written twice) and found this in the middle.

"A plan of how to eat donuts for dinner and not get fat. It might mean invisable donuts. They don't taste as good though."

Let's just say I had no idea that was going to be written until it actually was. However, I did decide that since I need to work tomorrow (all day) I'm going to get myself a donut. The problem with Ben and I both working so much lately is that we have no groceries. No yogurt for breakfast, we just ran out of bread, no lunch meat, no sliced cheese, no fruit, no milk, and we're lacking several other things that are a bit more minor. On the happy side though, since I don't have yogurt for breakfast I don't feel as guilty picking up a donut for breakfast.

Thursday: sneaky

Third time's a charm...the first post I had written I decided not to post, and the second one was too confusing. So we'll go with Five Question Friday.

1. What was the first car you owned?

Well, I suppose it would be the blue Subaru, which I own through marriage. I've never picked out a car that I was going to pay for and drive.

2. What song are you embarrassed to know the lyrics to?

I can't think of one. But Ben is embarrassed that I know the Pirate song...

"I'm a pirate. A dirty rotten pirate. I put poison in my mother's shredded wheat. How neat. My chief delight is to start a fight and I bash little kids in the head, till they're dead."

3. Have you ever had stitches?

No, but I use a lot of bandaids

4. What was your first job?

I was a paper delivery person. Nathan and I split the route and Mom was nice enough to do the Saturday morning deliveries so that we could sleep in.

5. Who is your favorite Sesame Street character?

Well, when I was a small child it was apparently Big Bird. Now...that's a tough question. Probably the aliens.

Wednesday: picture

The next one is started!

Tuesday: the day we've been waiting for

Today was layoff day. Ben and I didn't get laid off. Our friends didn't get laid off. In the end, fewer people than expected got laid off...yay.

I'm tired. So is Flurry.

Monday: quilt

The quilt (and pillowcases are finished)! I don't love either of these pictures, but they work.

I like how Flurry looks in this one.
