Monday: colors

Today I had 100 circles with 11 various colors in them. Unfortunately, four circles were wrong...I had an extra blue and one less brown and an extra green and one less gray. Since I just had a bunch of tiny, hand scribbled notes on a wire chart for the colors it took me about 30 minutes to find out where my mistakes were because I couldn't read my own writing. :(

This is Flurry taking a nap a few weeks ago. I think it's really cute when she covers her eyes with her paw.

Sunday: Loos and visits

Dad got quoted in an MSNBC article. :)

Flurry got to go visit Dusty and Laura. While she didn't really appreciate the ride over, she did seem to enjoy their bathroom.

Saturday: happy 6th anniversary!

Today is our 6th anniversary! I have a wonderful husband...I'm so blessed to be with him. He's funny and thoughtful and compassionate. It's been a great 6 years together.

Friday: around

We had a very relaxing day today. The weather was much warmer than we expected, which was pleasant. We spent a lot of time reading.

We went on a little hike by a stream.


And we went to a winery and meadery. We've never done wine tasting before and it was interesting. Not something I need to do very often, but we did come away with two of our favorite meads and a few new ones to share.

Thursday: no work!

I got home at 3am today and poor Ben had to warm me up. I hadn't taken a coat and by the time I got home I was a large ice cube. I didn't make him warm up my toes though.

Around 9am Flurry decided she wanted to go under the covers with me and so she started tapping me on the shoulder. So I let her under but woke up enough to get up shortly. I went downstairs around 10 and ended up taking a nap. :) It's been a long, long time since I was up that late, but it was totally worth it.

Ben and I are at a B&B tonight. We have a little one room cabin and it is currently raining out and you can hear it and its wonderful pitter-patter. We had a nice meal and are just enjoying relaxing and talking. We also watched the end of Air Force One and now are watching the beginning. Several questions have been answered so far (such as how they can shoot bullets inside a plane and not worry about a pressure loss).

Wednesday: puzzle night

Today I couldn't wait for work to be done. Not only am I not working Thursday or Friday, it was puzzle night! Jess, Heidi, and I got together for tacos and to put together a puzzle.

We did a 1000 piece puzzle of a rain forest in 7.5 hours. It turned out to have a lot of green and the waterfall was pretty hard, which ate up a lot of time. Around midnight things were looking pretty good...we had a lot of pieces still to go, but there weren't many big holes. It took another 2.5 hours, but VICTORY!

It was a great night with two wonderful friends doing a great activity - one that's easy to talk over but doesn't require talking.

Monday: pictures and plots

My brother was in a bike race a bit ago and sent some pictures. He's in third place here!!

Marcelo wrote a computer program for my dice question...

mode: 4 (the same!)

median: 6

max: 94

Only two more days of work this week!! I'm super excited.
