Tuesday: secret sister

So at church a bunch of the women exchanged names and then for the year you are someone's "secret sister." I don't know my person at all, which was a big bummer. But my secret sister brought me donuts on Sunday which Aaron gave to me at small group! Yum. I think it must be someone I know and someone that knows my love of donuts.

I decided I was pseudo on top of work today and so I'm not getting up early tomorrow. The thought has cheered me all night.

Monday: laundry weekend

Sunday

There was a special on Marine One on TV tonight that Ben and I watched. It was rather interesting, but they didn't have quite enough material for a full hour...several things were said twice.

Besides that, it was a wonderfully relaxing day.

Saturday

Ben and I had tentativly made plans with Clay and Jess to go cross-country skiing today, assuming it wasn't too cold. Well, it was too cold (felt like -1 during the day). They were in Owego anyway, so stopped over for some quick games and then we tried a new restaurant.

The restaurant is only open for lunch, which is why I haven't made it there before. The food was good. We had to walk through a store to get to it, and the store was jam-packed full of stuff. We were almost afraid to move because we might touch something with our bulky coats and break it. There was also stuff hanging from the ceiling and we bumped into it a few times and were suddenly scared that we broke something.

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.
