Sunday: around the house

Let's take a look around the house!

Ben and Flurry say hi.

Today was sunny. The sun makes a cool pattern through the front door.

Our thermostat is acting up and won't keep time correctly. I realize that the battery is flashing, but it started flashing about two minutes after I put new batteries in.

Flurry enjoys her cat grass. The roots have grown in well, so she gets to make a mess when eating it.

This is the snow on our back deck. The previously mentioned applesauce is in one of those indentations.

Flurry says hi again.

I put my socks on before my shirt today and it caused me to clash today. Usually I choose my socks to match my shirt.

Unknowing

Seriously, it would be nice if there was an obvious sign at conception. Like your big toe lighting up or something. It's only the first month and I know our chances might not be great this month, but I'm already impatient to know.

Saturday: lights

Tonight we were driving home after dinner and seeing Tron and saw some streaks in the sky. I thought it was just those spot lights pointing straight up, but after seeing three of them and Ben also wondering what they were we figured it out. The Northern Lights were in the sky.

They weren't very colorful, but we thought we saw some red tints in them. By the time we reached home they were almost gone though. :(

Friday: curry and snow

I have a problem - I can't estimate very well whether we need to shovel or not in the mornings. There are two primary reasons for this. 1) I have just woken up and so while I do have my glasses on, I can't see very well. I also have a poor time making judgments. 2) I don't have a "measuring stick" to see how much snow actually fell. I look at the driveway and guess. I'm usually wrong. If I can see driveway I guess we don't need to shovel (but then the drifts surprise me). If I can't see the driveway...I just guess. I thought it was only an inch this morning but it was closer to 4".

I made some curry tonight. At one point I was afraid it wasn't going to turn out but then the curry paste did a nice job of thickening it up. There's enough left to freeze for one meal too! Luckily I found some more room in the freezer; otherwise it would have had to go outside in the snow with the applesauce. We might need to get an additional little freezer for all these foods I keep making in bulk.

Thursday: a comment

Isn't it weird how one comment can change your day? Today I was complaining to a co-worker that excel had just crashed and I lost an hours worth of work and he gave me a good reason as to why it was good that excel crashed. And the day changed from being annoying to being good.

We also got to see Laura for dinner, which was fun. Flurry finally came out at the end to see her too, so that was nice.

Wednesday: Grey

"We're adults. When did that happen? And how do we make it stop?" - Grey's Anatomy

Oh, there have been some days lately were that feels so true. I started watching Grey's Anatomy yesterday. It's kind of addicting. But I've also gotten several more squares quilted. Some are better than others.

It feels like it was a rough day but it really wasn't. It was actually a pretty good day when I look at what happened. It's a complicated feeling.

Tuesday: boxes

Flurry loves her boxes.
