 Uggggh. I ate an ice cream and now I feel like I'm dying. As time goes by, the food Kyle and I eat is becoming more healthy. Or, rather, I should say the food we have at home. Last night we went to Famous Dave's and polished off a feast for two which was decidedly unhealthy. Let's say I keep our home stocked with increasingly healthy food. As a ( Read more... )

 I just made my very first successful yeast bread! It's beauuuutiful. It doesn't have an outstanding flavor, it just tastes like bread. But boy is it pretty.

 Pink eye is going around. Two of my co-workers have had it so far. I'm scared of getting it. I REALLY don't want pink eye. Today after one co-worker was forced to go to the clinic to get diagnosed I Lysoled the crap out of the teller line and desks and doorknobs.

 I finished the penguin ornaments! Well, I still have to tie the hang strings on them, but that doesn't count. Kyle said so. Ahhhhhh, it is such a relief to have those finished! They're so cute, though, and I love them. I will definitely post pictures sometime ( Read more... )

A while ago I crocheted a seat cover to cover a stain on a customer service desk chair at work. Just for fun, I crocheted the logo of the company on it. My boss thought it was neat and said that I should make one for his boss. I think he didn't really mean it, but I did. I crocheted a pillow with the company's colors and the logo on it. My yearly ( Read more... )
