Monday: a good day

Well, I was having a hard time being excited about today. Some of the things I had lined up for work just didn't sound like fun.

But the day ended up not being so bad. The work stuff wasn't too bad, and Ben got some good news. We had pizza for dinner, and I took a quick nap before the raid. I still have a whole raid to go before bed, but hopefully it'll be fun. I also didn't get my chocolate fondue that has been waiting since last Thursday, but there just wasn't quite enough time.

Let's see, what else. I finished the golden compass trilogy the other day. I wasn't really very impressed. The first two books are definietly not worth the hype the church has give them, although I can at least see where they're coming from for the third. But then there was a sad ending too, so my vote is just an eh.

But right now I'm reading "The Man who listened to horses" and throughly enjoying it.

Saturday: games

This evening we went over to some friends-from-church's house and made pizza and played games. It was a lot of fun. We first played Shadows over Camelot (bonus points because you can play with seven people) and then learned a new game (Elfinland). It was fun, and I even managed to win with my beginners luck.

Here's a picture of Flurry. I think she knew I was taking pictures of her because she found a spot with a good background and posed nicely.

Tuesday: business travel day 2

Well, we made it back. We almost drove back but at the last minute check to see if the corporate jet had four spaces free up since yesterday. It did! And it was leaving earlier due to weather, which was also ideal for us.

It is snowing here a lot. In 1.5 hours (after I got home) it snowed about 2 -3 inches. Kind of crazy.

Monday: business travel

Today I took/am taking my first business trip. I'm sure that business trips will (soon) be not exciting, but this one is.

Except that it took us 1.5 hours to get the "OK" to get to where we need to be which was pretty annoying.

I talked to Ben briefly to tell him that I wouldn't be home tonight. We hung up and two seconds later I get another phone call from him because he forgot to say "I love you." It was sweet.

Sunday

Being a ninja (a while back):

Saturday: knitting take 2

Today knitting went better. Here is try two:

It went well enough that I decided to just go ahead and start the blanket. It might not be perfect, but hopefully the mistakes won't stand out too much.

Other than that, we did a few chores, tried on ski boots to see if they fit, and watched "A Cinderella Story." I'm a big Cinderella type movies fan because they always end so happily. And I'm a sucker for a good romance.
