Thursday: long week

It's been a long week. I'm glad tomorrow is Friday.

Wordless Wednesday

(hahaha)

Tuesday: puffs

I had my yearly eye exam today. I passed. Phew.

The nice lady that was working the pre-eye test stuff let me off with only one eye puff. I have such a hard time with that machine. She first said that she was going to do three puffs in each eye. Talk about torture. In the end she just did one puff in one eye.

Part of the problem is that I don't know when it is going to come, so I squeal a little bit after each puff. The other problem is that my eyes just don't stop blinking. I try really, really hard to keep them open, but on the puff machine they just don't pay any attention to me.

*Blink*

Monday: time for dinner!

This is how I described myself right before dinner:

"I'm very a little hungry."

It's a weird feeling, only being hungry for a small amount of food but being really hungry for it.

Sunday: rarely seen friends

Today we were planning on seeing two rarely seen friends. We spent a few hours in the afternoon playing Dominion with Luke...we hadn't seen him in several months so it was nice to catch up. We were going to meet Laura for dinner at Texas Roadhouse, but the dumb airline overbooked her flight and she got bumped. We had frozen pizza instead and didn't get to see her. :(

Saturday: laundered money

Ben and I were about to leave for an event at church, and he can't find his wallet. We're looking in all the normal places and trying to figure out where it was last...and then I find it in his pants, that I just washed. I laundered some money today.

Friday: snow and quilts

Today was a beautiful day! It snowed a thick sticky snow last night so this morning it was a winter wonderland. Actually, it was that way for most of the day. I braved the roads and went to work. It was a little bad, but thanks to our great four-wheel drive it wasn't too bad. When I got home I had to shovel the driveway before I could park though. Or half the driveway. Actually less than half...just enough to get the car in. There was about 12" of snow, but it didn't drift for once which was nice.

Like I mentioned, I finished the quilt top last night. The pattern called out for the colorful circles to also be in a cross between the blocks, but that was just getting way too busy. I looked at it with the green fabric, but that didn't match well enough, so I just took them out.

Here is the beginning of the back.

And my new fabric. Notice the black...I still cringe a little bit when thinking about making it into a baby blanket, but I want to try it. I'm hoping it will be better than I expect, and I really like the fabric.

And of course, Flurry.
