Apparently my latest theme has some bug that keeps people from commenting. Brother just told me he tried to post a comment and got a blank page. It turns out to be the theme I’m using so we’re back to an old one for now until I can resolve the problem. You should be able to post comments now.
In the last two weeks, we’ve had a couple thefts…
THEFT #1: Last week, we ordered Domino’s Pizza. It was half pepperoni and mushroom (my half) and half sausage and jalepenos (Jes’ half). I ate two slices and Jes ate three. The next morning, I went downstairs to pack a slice for lunch and discovered only one slice of sausage and jalepeno left. I thought, “D00d, fatty…didn’t even leave me a slice of the pepperoni and mushroom!” In the afternoon, I came home from work and confronted Jes about his late-night snacking. Apparently, he had gone downstairs that night for a late-night snack and found the box of cinnamon breadsticks upside-down on the floor and one slice of sausage and jalepeno in the pizza box. We compared stories with the usual “I didn’t eat it, I thought you did” and realized that neither of us ate the remaining two pepperoni slices. IT WAS THE DOG!! He managed to climb up onto the dining table, eat the two slices, leave the one remaining slice in the box, and close the box! We were duped. It was obviously too late to punish the sneaky dog and all we could do was shake our fists at him and say, “sneaky dog!!”
THEFT #2: This evening, Jes prepared the two remaining steaks from our BBQ on Saturday. We ate only the equivalent of one steak with parts of the remaining steak (fat and scraps) in Koa’s bowl and the other part on the foil, on the plate, on the kitchen island. Two hours after dinner, I went downstairs for a drink and discovered the foil on the floor completely cleaned off. There was no steak in sight. All I found was the foil and a dog under the dining table licking his lips. HE ATE THE STEAK! The steak was way too high for him to reach and if he could, we’d expect him to knock the plate down with the steak and foil. But no, he’s too sneaky for that and now we’re standing around scratching our heads and shaking our fists at the dog once more.
*sigh*Â Dog is smart.
I went to my painting class today unsure of what to bring for my third painting. I was hoping to keep with the tropical theme so Jes suggested that I take the pineapple that we had on the dining table. I thought, “uh, that’s going to be really hard.” But I took it anyway and it WAS hard. My instructor tried to help me out all along the way but there’s just so much he can do without painting it for me. It actually started out standing straight up but the instructor decided to tilt it half-way through my painting! So I spent another half hour trying to tip my pineapple over by covering parts up with more paint and fixing the shadow. This piece was certainly the most challenging and tiring but I’m glad that after three hours I ended up with something that pretty much looks like a pineapple. I was just happy to be able to bring it home and feel comfortable enough to say “eh, good enough” and call it a day. Here’s the finished product:
By the way, I’m SO done with painting fruits. Next week we’re starting on landscapes. Woo Hoo!!
Sunday marked the first day of Daylight Saving Time, which is whole month earlier than usual. My sleep schedule has become so messed up. Yesterday I woke up for work but felt really crappy…sniffles, headache, and sore neck. I got to work a little late, did a little work, and ended up going home at 11 for a nap. I woke up at 12:30 in time for my 1:00 appointment but on the way there my driving was making me really nauseous. So, I turned around, got home, and crawled back into bed. I slept until 4pm and stayed up until about 1:00 am this morning.
Fortunately, I woke up at 7:00, felt much better, and actually got to work on time. The weird thing is that I can’t seem to remember which clocks have been changed and which ones haven’t. So I’m constantly asking, what time is it? Am I early or late? It also doesn’t help that I didn’t wear my watch today, which has the correct time on it. *sigh* I hate DST. Springing forward never works to my advantage. I don’t care if it’s still light out when I’m driving to my painting class. It’s still 6:30.
Our little Taku-chan is a whoppin’ two years old today! To celebrate, we had a BBQ at my house complete with my mom’s Thai BBQ chicken, Auntie Kiyomi’s chicken salad, and Jesse’s teriyaki steak. Yum. The weather was especially warm today but made it great for firing up the grill and hanging out in the patio.
Cole got a bling shirt with gold chains and gold pacifier from his uncle Kenneth that made him look like one hard dude. Marie brought an ice cream birthday cake with Cars on it and Cole actually seemed to relish in his birthday moment. He even blew out his own candles after about the seventh attempt.
It was a nice family lunch with everyone together in one place. Happy Birthday Lil C!
Here are the photos.
Back in January, OTs were ranked as one of the 25 Best Careers of 2007. This morning I was on the My Yahoo! page and saw that they’ve ranked OTs as one of the 5 Bright New Careers for ’07 and Beyond. Nice. I guess we’ve been getting a lot of attention from the Department of Labor because of its rapid rise in demand and growth. Now if only they’d pay us more…
