My Week in Review

I feel as though I'm recapping my week every couple days. How does a week go by so fast?

 

Monday: I found out that Deuce will take pills wrapped up in peanut butter-smeared bread and not just hotdogs. This bit of knowledge came at a good time, as I am almost out of hotdogs.

 

Tuesday: I had some plastic canvas purse instructions due Wednesday and wasn't quite sure how to make one, so I stopped at HobLob on my way to Randel's and picked up a plastic canvas purse form, a couple tapestry needles, and some yarn. I practiced that evening and didn't get very far. I hope the instructions I turned in are decipherable and correct...

 

Wednesday: I requested that our library buy The Night Season (the fourth book in the Archie Sheridan/Gretchen Lowell series) because they didn't have it yet and I had read the first three months ago and I really needed to find out what happened with Archie and Gretchen. It finally came in Wednesday. And I've only had time to read about 75 pages. And it's due in a week since it's a new book. I don't see me having time to finish the remaining 200 or so pages in the next four days. I have a dilemma. I might just have to keep it a few extra days and incur the nickel-a-day fine.

 

Thursday: I was working on some tassel instructions for a learn-to-sew kit. I wanted to work out the instructions for myself and decided to try it with Kleenex. Somehow my tassel turned into this adorable friendly ghost-looking creature. She's my cube mascot, so I had to give her a face. She's yet to be named, so if you have any suggestions, lemme know in the comments.

 

Friday: My first project sheet was posted online. Scrolling through the material I wrote about feathers was a proud moment for me. I also wrote the last couple blurbs on this project sheet about Gerbera daisies. [Note: Some of the wording was changed during proofing, so if something sounds weird/bad/confusing, just assume it wasn't my original work.]

 

Saturday: We celebrated Randel's dad's birthday at Musashi's and had a blast. I think Randel and I will have to make dinner at a hibachi restaurant a monthly date. Fried rice you can swim in, tender teriyaki steak, and your own personal chef for the evening--what's not to love?

 

Sunday: Today I spent the day at Affair of the Heart with Randel's mom and aunt Kathy. We saw tons of blinged-out shirts, sampled several different flavored coffees (pumpkin pie was my absolute fave), and admired lots of signs and artwork. We were there pretty much all day--from 11:00 to 4:30. But aching feet were a small price to pay for the Thunder shirt, delicious dip mixes, tortilla soup mix, and great time with Randel's family I came away with.
