The small text says "Fearfully and wonderfully made." And it was for a retreat, sorry Han. :(

Monday: I forgot what I was going to write about

Well, at one point today I had something I was going to write about. It wasn't really that interesting, but it would have been more interesting than this post will be.

I've now sat here for a few minutes trying to figure it out and couldn't. We got some orange pop at the grocery store. They've stopped selling chicken enchilada helper which is our favorite. Gas is significantly cheaper in PA. Three more weeks of work before I'm planning on taking a day off. I'm tired. I'm wearing my "Beautiful Woman" shirt. It's a good thing that the grass will be mowed tomorrow because the weeds are getting a bit unruly again. Joe and Dee were using DVD shelves for their books...an idea I really like because the shelves were thinner and in smaller segments to prevent bowing. I'm not raiding tonight. :)

Sunday: gross

Well, the trip home was uneventful. We started to seal the granite in the bathroom, and Flurry is about to have a heart attack. We have kept her out of her favorite room all day.

While I was cleaning the kitty litter I noticed some grass had dropped out of the mower. It did this a bit before, so I didn't think much of it and started to clean it up. Well, I'm guessing we got some extra dirt up in the mower on the first mow and it was damp and there were maggots. Yuck. Not a lot yet, but enough that we removed the rest of the gunk from the mower like we should have earlier.

Saturday: PA

This weekend we went to visit Joe and Dee. It was either rainy or hot and humid so we didn't do a lot outside, but we still had lots of fun.

Thursday: stuff

Well, today was a nice day because I got to leave work earlier than normal due to the holiday. I also had a few extra minutes before the bus came to take me between buildings and so I got my blood pressure taken. It was in the normal range.

In the middle of the night last night I sort-of woke up and told Ben to get off my binder...I needed it. He grunted a little bit and I thought "oh no, I'm going to have to stay awake long enough to make him give it to me." So I told him I needed it again only to realize I was in the middle of a waking dream and that Ben didn't have my binder. Phew.

We went to see Wall-E tonight. I really enjoyed it. We went to the Owego theatre which I also really liked. The prices were reasonable ($4.25 for 7pm showing) and the building was old and quaint. The floors weren't quite flat and the seating wasn't tiered, but the atmosphere was great and the movie as just as good as from a newer theatre.

Flurry just found a spider. She's having fun playing with it before she plays with it a little too hard and kills it.

Tuesday: work

Well, work has its ups and downs as I'm sure it always will have, but I'm becoming much more comfortable there now. I'm getting to know the people and I'm starting to not be afraid to be myself. I'm starting to kind of know what I'm talking about and so am speaking up more. With that comes more laughter too. :)

Tuesday: Wow

Well, Ben and I just turned off automatic renewal for WoW. This is a big step for us as we've been playing the game for...3 years? We're not done with the game, but raiding is just getting too late for us and we don't want to pay for 6 months at a time anymore. There's more to the game than raiding the end-game dungeons, so we'll see if that keeps us hooked enough for awhile.

We'll see what changes when the expansion comes out. We'll also see if we follow in the footsteps of half the people that quit...and come back one week later.
