Wednesday: one of those days

Today was one of those days were one thing went wrong and suddenly every thing was going wrong.

:(

Tuesday: blast from the past

Today I was installing some training software on my computer at work. no big deal, right? Wrong. I need a floppy drive. The software requires a floppy drive to save data to...and you can't change it to another drive. I installed the software with a CD, so it made me wonder when the software was published.


2001

Really? floppy disks were almost dead by then. I had a box I brought with me to college, but rarely used it. So to not even have the option to change from the floppy seems idiotic.

Sunday: quilts

I finished a quilt! It still needs to be ironed.

Saturday: trimming

This morning I went outside, intending to trim some bushes in the front. However, I had two problems: 1) I had branch cutters, not trimming shears and 2) I like pruning more than trimming. So which I did do some trimming, I did take off more large chunks of bush that I was planning on. I think it is a good thing though, as the bushes are getting a bit overgrown.

While I was outside I realized that I yard sale was going on two houses down. So I stopped by and ended up with a baby carrier. I thought of Clay and Jess because I remember when they got their baby carrier at a garage sale too. The thing has a lot of snaps, hooks, and buckles, but I still managed to figure out how to put it together. Yay!

Friday: end of the week

Yay! It's the end of the week. Unfortunately, I have a long list of things to get done this week...so I'm already preparing myself for an unproductive(ish) weekend. we'll see how it goes. I am excited because I bought some new sheets. We never found the bottom sheet of the second set after we moved and I figured that if we ever found it, three sets would be fine.

Tonight we played Dominion with people and it was a lot of fun

Thursday: brownie

Tonight I made a brownie. It's only one brownie before it's cut, right? And I was really just getting rid of some old food...it was an 9x9 size, which I never make. It is usually too much brownie for just Ben and me but not enough for a group function. And I told myself I would clean after I got the brownies ready for the oven but the oven wasn't at temp yet.

I managed put away one ingredient before the oven was ready. lucky me!

Wednesday: Sid

When the thought of food makes me nauseous, I think of Sid.

Sid hopped into a backpacker's backpack when they were exploring the jungle. The backpacker went home to their home on a farm. (Sid passed TSA security by being on his side and the TSA agent being distracted. Sid survived by eating snacks in the backpack and the condensation from bottles/cups put in the backpack.)

There Sid met Harriet.

That's all the farther I've gotten. Usually at this point Sid is on a fence rail.

Stay tuned for the next installment: what do Sid and Harriet say to each other? What do they do together?
