Tuesday: sneezing and pie

Today as Ben and I were leaving work we sneezed at the same time. Really, it was amazing. If you were sitting in the back seat you wouldn't have been able to tell that there were two sneezes we were so in sync.

We also got to eat a passion fruit pie at our cookout tonight. It was just the right amount of sweet and tangy.

I'm rather tired though. I might go to bed soon.

Monday: numbers

Today is 8.9.10! How exciting! It's also Dusty's birthday. I'm a little jealous because I'll never have a birthday that counts up like that. He pointed out that I will probably have an 8.19.27 birthday which is also cool because 8+19=27.

I had to write the date often today. So I had these lyrics going through my head "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, (678) 9, 10." (The six, seven, and eight are sung pretty quickly.) When I got to the 8.9.10 I would think "Happy Birthday Dusty!" However, the closest song that I could find is 1-2-3 by Gloria Estefan (YouTube link). My guess is that I made up a song lightly based on the song. Or it's from Sesame Street. But in either case my song is way cooler.

Sunday: tree branches

We have a tree in our front yard. It was put in the beginning of last winter, and so this year is having a slightly hard time taking root. You can tell because there are only leaves on half the tree.

I had taken a week off of weeding and noticed that there were some huge weeds growing up around the base of the tree. Well, when I got there to weed them I found out they were actually tree branches. I sadly didn't get a picture before I took the branches off, but you can see a little nub half way up on the right side and some green at the very bottom.
I'll admit, I'm not really sure what our tree is thinking. Maybe that it's a bush?

Saturday: work

I had to work this morning. Although it really isn't too bad because it's only four hours, I was out of it all afternoon. Part of the problem was that I was up rather late last night...first hanging out with friends and then reading my dragon book. It was worth it.

Thursday: M&Ms

Recently I tried some of the new M&M flavors, so I thought I'd report to you what I thought of them.

First: Pretzel M&Ms. I thought they could have used a higher chocolate to pretzel ratio. While I might eat them again, they weren't my favorites.

Second: Coconut M&Ms. I really liked these. They were coconut flavored but not too strong. And they had some cool extra designs on the Ms.

Wednesday: back to work

Ah, after a lovely vacation I had to go back to work today. Really, it wasn't that much fun.

I thought several times that maybe I should have just taken the whole week off. :)

NYC: Day3

Today we went on a boat tour around the island. It was very nice to see all the landmarks without having to walk. I was doing ok, but my legs were getting a little sore.
