Friday: rain

Today I went for a walk with the added bonus of doing an errand. (For some reason, NY thinks it needs its license plates back.). When I left, it was beautiful, sunny day. When I stepped out of the store ten minutes later, I felt two raindrops. The sky didnt look like a rain sky, so I continued on my way, hurrying as much as I could.

A block from home it started to rain harder. I took refuge under a tree, and debated whether I should continue walking because under the tree would soon be wet or if I should wait. Then the sun came out and the rain let up slightly, so I continued.

There is a good chance this is a "you had to be there" story.

Thursday: rainbows

Apparently there was a beautiful double rainbow after a storm this evening.

I didn't notice because I was watching the crazy person in front of me swerve slightly over the lane markers as he tried out his latest and greatest software release. At least, that is my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

wednesday: bug

I feel like I have a touch of a bug that my body is trying to fight. I've been just out of it enough to make me wonder.

I hope I'm not fighting a baby. that would make the next three months sad.

But for good news, the baby would probably live if it were born now. It really needs to incubate some more though, so we'll hope he isn't born yet.

Wednesday: want, feeling, and notice and a second want

I want to lay down on my stomach with both my legs stretched out.

I'm feeling like Im getting a fever (although this feeling will probably be gone by morning)

I noticed that a ton of people wore green shirts with black pants today.

I want the Internet to stop having outages.

Monday: pants

I like pants. I especially like it when pants have pockets. I really like pockets. But sometimes the pockets let everything fall out. What is the point of those pockets? I hate it when my cell phone falls out of my pocket and I have to go find it.

Sunday: I'm from New York

Ben and I have found that if we say "I just moved to the area from New York", people always think that we're coming from NYC.

If we say "I just moved from upstate New York," only half the people think we're from NYC.

The lesson here is to not have a major city named after a state.

PS, we have this problem with Holland too, but if we say Holland, MI no one gets mixed up so it isn't as bad.

Saturday 2: apples

I guess the internet just wanted to prove me wrong, as it started working well right after my last post.

Here are Ben and I. My shirt is having problems. I'm just starting to not be able to wear some of my larger shirts but try anyway. I should probably stop trying.

And Dad and Landon are picking some apples.

Afterwards we took a look at the restaurant but it was way too busy. So we came back to Holland to eat at their satellite restaurant, which was not busy. The food was very good. And we got some donuts!
