Free Massage

Today we got free massages at work in celbration of Thanksgiving. Not too shabby.

Although, I do feel a little sore now. Is that normal?

Boring

I have to echo Chelsea's post about Novemeber. It must be a boring month all around. So i apologize for my lack of posts, goodness knows i have enough free time, just not enough good ideas.

Here's what we have done in November:

1. Saw "Where the Wild Things Are." I laughed, I cried. That is really not saying much if you knew me, I cry sometimes watching Friends. Really, though, it was good. Made me feel like a kid again.

2. Hate to admit it, but we have been busitng out the Christmas tunes. Don't judge us, we need cheer in our lives.

3. Chris took the Praxis (teacher qualifying test) he thinks he bombed it, I really hope he's wrong.

4. Celebrated my wonderful father's birthday. He turned thirty.....

5. Went to a bridal shower where I was the only person over the age of twenty and married, but it was fun noneltheless. It made me feel wise.

6. Found out I am having a nephew born in March. My very first one!

7. Spent a lot of time on the internet dreaming about buying our own home. Someday...

Hopefully something more exciting will happen soon.

I love Fridays

Who knew that being able to wear jeans and stay up late would bring me so much joy?

Massage Chair

Check out this little beauty that I found this morning at work. Sometimes I like to just scavenge around and see what kinds of treasures there are here. I guess that makes me a scavenger.

So it was all heaters and back rubs for an hour until I figured out that it actually belongs to the assistant I replaced. She hasn't come to get it yet, and the way I figure it, possession is nine-tenths of the law, right?

p.s. Kindly ignore my dirty desk, I left in a hurry the night before.

Website value

I found this on Noelle's blog, and thought I would see what our blog is worth. I was totally expecting negative dollars and at best $1.

But lo and behold....

hermansce.blogspot.com Estimated Worth $146 USD

Who knew? I'll take it.

Freezing

This is what I saw when I walked out into the living room this morning. You will notice the leggings underneath his shorts, as well as the blanket wrapped around his feet. Think it's time to turn up the heat?

We had to call our landlord to come turn it on finally after like two weeks of freezing to death because he "forgot" it was cold outside. And like the champion that he is, he turned it to like 60 degrees. He also someow set it so that it doesn't come on until like seven in the morning, runs for an hour, and then shuts off until like eleven at night for another hour. So if you are in the house and awake anytime not duirng those two hours of heat, you are out of luck.

Needless to say, we will be giving him a call this weekend.

*The reason our landlord comes to turn on our heat is because there is only one gas meter for all three levels, so he controls it. This does mean we don't pay for it, so I guess there is your silver lining.

FHE

Now Chris and I only hold Family Home Evening about once every quarter (don't judge us...we are trying) but last night was one the lucky Monday nights when we actually had a planned out FHE. Cory can attest to that, as we were "babysitting" him while Karissa was at work and thus made him give the lesson.

After the fantastic lesson ( which was the home teaching message), we proceeded to my favorite part of the evening...pumpkin carving!

Might I say, I was very impressed with the way our pumpkin turned out.

Home Sick

What are the odds that you will wake up sick with the flu on Monday morning, four hours before your scheduled flu shot?

If you are me, pretty good.

Kind of Corny

But, oh so cute. This is how the corn from our garden turned out. I guess this is what happes when you have no sunlight in your garden. Everything is mini. Although this corn represents hours of wasted time, I still couldn't help but smile becuase it was so cute.

Happy Birthday

It is kind of belated, since his birthday was on Sunday. But here is a tribute to my wonderful "old"* husband, two days after his 25th birthday. I am not doing the "top 25" list of things I love about him because that makes me want to barf...no offense to anyone.

Two things most people don't know about him, and he will probably kill me for sharing:

1) He always reads comics when he is on the can. Helps to get things flowing apparently.

2) He currently owns six transportation vehicles, only three of which work. He's a tinkerer.

Five awesome things he has done in his 25 years:

1) Marry me--duh.

2) Serve a mssion in Sweden, and attempt to teach me Swedish. It's not sticking so well.

3) Teach at-risk high schoolers for two years. Major props from one teacher to another for this one.

4) Driven a Volkswagen bus across country (almost) twice.

5) Develop an aesome laugh and a permanent smile for everyone around him.

*Chris thinks he is old now. He reckons his life is about halfway over at this point because I will probably drive him to his grave in the next 25 years, so he makes it a point to dress in as much polyester as possible so he can get his fill.
