Thursday: twitter

Tonight I visited Twitter.com for the first time. Ever. I'm part of the dark ages. But I wanted real-time updates on So You Think You Can Dance and it seemed like the best place to get it. It worked rather well. Alex is gone due to an injury, but it sounds like he'll be back next year.

We went to see IronMan 2 after work because it was rather hot out to be in the house. It was good. The middle was a little long, but I enjoyed the end. I was sad that the robot didn't play a larger role.

This afternoon I spent about 2 hours measuring the thickness of some panels. It was a riot, let me tell you. Oh, and then I wrapped the panels in foam. But that's not what I want to talk about. I want to talk about Verniers. (It's a way to precisely measure something.) The first time I used a Vernier was in general physics lab. It's kind of cool - I like lining up the lines. But I think it takes way too long to read. Today I had to read 0.0 + .075 + .008 + .0001. Sure, I can do that math in my head but it takes just that split second longer. Oh, and I had to move the whole panel around to see the .0001, so that definitely took longer.

Wednesday: owie

So after bush whacking yesterday I found a scratch my finger. There also looked like there might have been something in the scratch. After Ben's sliver infection fiasco I did the obvious thing. I looked at it under a microscope.

The thing that looked like a sliver was just dirt in a line. Phew.

Tuesday: bushwacking

Our Bible Study helped out at the church today by removing a small jungle and painting the front awning. It was hot, but we finished in the right amount of time and it looks a lot better!

Tuesday: hahaha

Monday: how I woke up

8:45:00 am: casually turn my head to see what time it is.

8:45:01am: OH NO! I NEED TO TRANSFER THE FILES BY 9AM OR WE'RE IN DEEP TROUBLE!!

8:45:02am: jump out of bed

8:45:03am: wonder where the files are

8:45:04am: wonder what exactly is going on

8:45:05am: try to remember if it was a dream

8:45:10am: figure it must have been from a dream - at least, it better be because otherwise the files won't be transferred and we'll be in deep trouble.

8:45:15am: decided to get up because I'm already out of bed and have a ton of adrenaline pumping through me.

Sunday: today

Today was a very nice day. I went to bed (rather late). I got up. I had a donut. And Spice Tea. Yum. We went to church. We made lots of plans after church. We went to Home Depot and bought oil. We went home. I sent a ton of email based on the plans that had been made. I ate lunch. I quilted and watched TV. I talked to Dad. I PvPed.

Saturday

I snuggled with Flurry for my nap this afternoon. I was rather surprised that she didn't leave.

It was the official good bye party for Dusty and Laura. Laura made a bunch of delicious food and we played RockBand. We played our favorites, including Maps and Move Along. We sang Yellow Submarine and Ben added bubbly water noises which I found hilarious. Overall, a very fun party! (And we tried to ignore the fact the they are leaving. It worked well for me because I interacted more with Dusty this week than most previous weeks.)
