Saturday: reusable bags

I learned today that you're supposed to wash your reusable grocery bags once in a while. Apparently they're full of bad bacteria. And while I'm not very opposed to a little bit of bad bacteria, I might try to remember to throw them in the wash next week.

Friday: the rest of the day

I laid out the quilt...at least as far as I have it completed, only to realize that I need to cut some more blocks.

Ben got me roses!

Friday: vlog

I thought I'd try my hand at a vlog. The sound is a little quiet, but pretty clear at least. If I assume that vlog stands for "video log", what does blog stand for?

Wednesday: Civilization

Well, I may have just played Civilization all night. I was going to watch So You Think You Can Dance, but the TV channel was coming in really poorly. So I played some more Civ. :)

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?
