Thursday: noticing

Lately I've noticed that I don't notice much while in the car. Dusty always teases me about not seeing his red truck when he's waving, but it's more than that. For example, I noticed a bright blue house the other day on a road that we travel on at least four times a week for the past three years. How did I not notice it before? I also seem to see new houses every day on my way to work, which I've now been doing for a year.

What have you noticed lately that has been around for a long time?

Tuesday: purses

I opened a tin of mints and they were in shapes of little purses! It was exciting.

Bible Study was good tonight, and afterwards we played Nutzee. We played with fewer people than normal and it really changed the dynamics. It was fun too.

Monday: nothing funny

I am sad to report that nothing funny has happened these last few days. (Although that sentence is almost funny in and of itself.) I've been having a hard time finding something to post (which might be kind of obvious) so today I was watching really hard for something. There wasn't. I'm tired of working and a lot of people around me are working more than I and so they're tired too.

Oh wait! There was one thing. We have an important audit tomorrow and therefore got an email that said the following: "Tomorrow is business casual (no sneakers/jeans). Scott will be working this effort, so please pick up his work as required. " Here's how I understood it at first: "Tomorrow is business casual (no sneakers/jeans). Scott will be working [on getting dressed], so please pick up his work." The funny part is that this kind of made sense...we're all rather out of it and so obviously need extra time to get dressed.

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.
