Thursday: animals

Today on our drive home we saw tons of deer. I saw about eight, Ben thinks he saw about 20 (12 on the way to pick me up). I don't know if it was a little lighter outside or a little warmer or what.

Then when we got home we noticed the Flurry had found a stryofoam peanut. She loves the things, but she usually ends up eating them so we try to keep them away. Anyway, while we were gone she managed to open the box that we had received last night and get the peanuts out. I am sad and proud of her.

Tuesday: work and dongles

I think dongle is a disgusting word, although fun to say. Therefore, Ben used it a lot in conversation after I told him it was disgusting.

I feel like I'm putting in more hours at work and falling further behind. Not the best feeling.

Sunday: snow and bowling

This morning, as we were running a few minutes late for church already, we realized that it had snowed last night and that we really needed to shovel to keep our driveway from getting worse. And then we met an invisable train that caused us to take a short detour. We weren't too late, but still late enough that no one was in the foyer anymore and we missed a few songs.

I took a wonderful nap and then shoveled again because the plow had gone through and it snowed a bit more. However, it's warmer than it was and there was no wind so it was actually nice. Then I decided to go for a walk. I had forgotten how steep the hill is and was slightly regretting my decision. But then it started snowing some more and I got to go downhill, so the last part of the walk was nice again.

We went bowling as a good-bye party for a friend from church. She's moving to California. :( But, I broke 100 both games and the second one I think I got my best score ever! I'm the "A" on the bottom.

Friday: cold

Well, yesterday was cold. So after dinner Dusty and Laura came over to our house for a fire, blankets, and hot chocolate. They also brought doughnuts and I got my favorite kind.

Thursday: cold

Well, there seems to be a cold front going through the entire upper half of the US because everybody seems to be having really cold temps. After Christmas it was supposed to get warm out and melt the last of the snow on our driveway, but it didn't melt. And then we missed a shovel and once there was barely enough to shovel. Anyway, the result is that our driveway is now a roller coaster. You go up a little bit coming out of the garage and you wonder if you'll get out of the end of the driveway without scraping the bottom of the car.

We've tried shoveling a little bit and it somewhat works. The problem is that there isn't a lot of loose snow. So I think what is left is hard snow and then my boot sinks down into it. There must be a layer of ice in between.

Well, that was the excitement of the day. Work wasn't too bad but somewhat boring. People are frantically trying to get to a milestone but I'm not really involved and so am trying to stay away lest I get tasked with something.

Wednesday

Happy Wednesday!

Nothing all that special happened today. Work has been going really well this week. I don't really know why because I can't name specific things that have happened, but I feel like I'm getting stuff done and it is worthwhile stuff.

Monday: matching

So this morning I decided to wear grey pants and a maroonish shirt. Ben got up and put grey pants on. I said, "You should wear your maroon shirt so we can match!" as he got out a blue shirt and put it on. The disappointment must have been evident in my eyes as I said "I won't even take a picture." Since we weren't going to be seen together today, he concided. I proceded to keep standing next to him as we were getting ready and smiling. So he offered to let me take a picture. And the background I choose ended up matching too!
