Wednesday: a lime

Apparently (haha, that has the word parent in it) I have a child the size of a lime inside me. Whenever I look at pictures of the human body with the skin removed it always looks so full. How can a lime (and whatever else has grown) fit inside me and I can barely tell? I guess we're all fuller of hot air than I expected.

Tuesday: clean room

Today's excitement is that I got to go into one of the clean rooms for the first time. It turned out not to be all the exciting, but still cool. And I was a little afraid of over-heating (it's happened in the past with similar attire) but I didn't. Phew.

Monday: Amanda

There's another Amanda in the place where I'm working right now. This is one of the first times that I've had to deal with someone else having my same first name and I do not like it. There was another Amanda in high school, but I don't recall having any classes together.

What is interesting is how much of a conversation you suddenly recall over-hearing once your name gets said, even if you weren't intentionally listening and wouldn't have remembered the conversation at all if your name wasn't part of it.

Sunday: family gatherings

Today I went to a family gathering on Ben's side to meet distant relatives. I went by myself because Ben wasn't able to go, so I feel as though I should get extra bonus points for that. However, I only talked to one of the relatives for about one minute, so that probably removes most of the bonus points I just gave myself.

the food was good though!

Friday: Ben and job

Ben's home! Yay!

I also accepted a job today at Shape Corp as a quality engineer. I'll be starting July 11 after I finish my current contract and go on vacation.

Thursday: a story

This is an old story...it happened the week we moved back to Michigan. Ben and I were getting groceries and were in the produce section of Meijer. there was an older man that looked exactly like...guess

...a garden gnome. Obviously he wasn't wearing the traditional garden gnome hat, but the beard and the body type were perfect.

Wednesday: bran muffins

Today after work I made some bran muffins. yum. And then I decided to have some for dinner. and they were as good as I remember them being. I was also smart and for once didn't bake all the muffins at once, but froze some batter so that I can have fresh muffins within the coming weeks.
