Friday: my hero

Let's face it...it hasn't really been a great week. (Well, Sunday and Monday weren't too bad, but it quickly went downhill.)

So when I found out my paperwork was wrong and my cell phone died while trying to call the company for the fourth time today I had had enough. (I should have had to call the company zero times because Ben had called them earlier in the week. Also note that when I left the house my cell phone had three of four bars.) I got home and broke into tears. (I was also slamming doors and stomping my feet but those were almost justified as I had snow on my feet and I always slam the car door.) Ben took over. He got the correct paperwork. He's amazing and calm about stuff like that.

Three cheers for Ben.

Thursday: me again

It's me again. I still don't have much to say. My mouse batteries are almost dead but I found that if I take one out and then put it back in my mouse will live again for about two minutes. So I've been doing that instead of getting up and getting new batteries.

Ben and I worked out again today. I'm reading "A Prayer for Owen Meany" while cycling. The quote of the ride was "FAITH TAKES PRACTICE!" (Owen said it, so it has to be in caps.) Sigh. It'd be a lot easier if it was just second nature.

Wednesday: uninspired

Tonight I am uninspired to write anything. The day wasn't exciting, my random blog post ideas didn't sound fun, and the Five Question Friday Questions were all too holiday-y or deep or brought up something I don't want to talk about.

So I decided to make my own questions. They're easy to answer.

1) What did you have for dinner?

Spaghetti with garlic bread. A little extra garlic bread than normal because it wouldn't come apart and by the time it did it was in pieces and may as well be eaten.

2) What is the weather like?

I think it is just below freezing, so cold but not too cold. We've had a little snow but not much and it usually melts pretty quickly.

3) What color are your socks today?

Black.

4) How many times did you write (or type) the date today?

Not very often today...I think about twice today.

5) How many cups of tea did you drink today?

3...two peach, one sleepytime. The hot chocolate machine at work just increased their prices and decreased their sizes, so I'm boycotting it.

Monday: nope, it's Tuesday

Today has felt like a Monday all day. So it's nice to remember that it's actually Tuesday. Work today was fine. Nothing very exciting was going on and one of our big programs is being upgraded so there some work that we can't do.

Thrilling, no?

No.

I started one of my Christmas puzzles yesterday. I'm going to go work on that now.

Monday: Last day of vacation

Ben and I took today off too. It was really nice not having to go to work, but we'll be back at it tomorrow...and Ben will be back to extra busy again too.

We did get quite a bit done today, although not everything got finished. What else is new? All the Christmas decorations are down and I miss having the lights. I think Christmas lights are by far my favorite Christmas decoration.

I started the day with making some donuts. Donuts with nuts, sprinkles, and coconut (but not all together). Delicious. I froze the extra batter in ice cube trays, so we'll see if that makes it easier for the next batch. I'll probably try again on Saturday.

Oh! I also disguised myself as an herb! ...it wasn't quite as much fun as it sounded. Well, maybe it was as much fun as it sounds. Although the person standing next to me was willing to buy and sell to an herb, so I thought that was funny.

Ben and I tied in Dominion for the second time. I would have thought that ties would be rare, but so far we've had two in the 10-15 games that we've played.

Sunday: Happy Sunday

Today was a pretty normal Sunday. We went to church, did a few errands, and came home. I was super tired at that point...I could barely keep my eyes open during the episode of Castle that we watched. So I took a nap right after that.

Flurry has been sleeping on my lap a lot today while I've been playing WoW, so that's been fun. It's a nice feeling.

Oh, and I think we found the problem with the beeping smoke detector. The one we thought it was was the wrong one. Stay tuned to see if the next one that we think is the correct one really is.

Saturday: Happy New Years!

For not being a busy day, a lot sure did happen for me to tell you about.

I ate a yogurt for breakfast. Flurry's reaction in the movie is why I usually eat breakfast at work. I tried to make it a little shorter than it actually was, but I think it is still too long. Oh well. You'll get the idea quickly.

One of our smoke detectors is beeping. It has been since we got home. It beeps twice about every three hours. After we finally figured out which one it was I put a new battery in...and it is still beeping. Hmm.

I played a lot of warcraft today. Yesterday I saved some cute squirrels and rabbits and injured fawns. Today I impaled baby bears on the tops of pine trees. Then I realized what I was doing (the horror!) and instead threw them into the trampoline so that the could live another day.

It was also second Christmas today. Second Christmas is when we actually get out the stuff we got for Christmas and put it in usable places. And it's fun to rediscover what we were given. Here's Flurry staring down her present...it will have cat grass in it in a few days.
