Happy Friday

It’s been a while since you’ve gotten an post full of pure nonsense from me and I hope you haven’t fallen into a bout of depression. But really, the last one was annoyingly long.
Last weekend we had a family outing to look for tarantulas on Mt. Diablo. We found many, and a coyote, and a lizard. That is way more wildlife than I saw in Nicaragua and Mt. Diablo is only 15 minutes from home. Later we had dinner and I was in charge of dessert. I made this cake…



Yes I am quite proud of myself.

For the last few weeks my job has been terribly boring, last night I was almost in tears (literally) from boredom. So I’m sure I should keep attempting to be a cheerful worker but I don’t know how much longer I am supposed to stay around D&G. I don’t have any idea of what else I would do but I don’t want to be unnecessarily stuck if that isn’t where God wants me. Fortunately today I actually have work to do so I’ve been granted a little reprieve.

There are still some fun things I get to plan for the office, but even with those my creativity isn’t always appreciated. On October 1st we had pretzels, cider, and bottles of root beer in honor of Oktoberfest. I wanted hot dogs but that idea was rejected. Next Tuesday we’re having peanuts and Cracker Jacks for the Giants’ return to SF. We also can wear Giants’ colors to compliment our normal business attire. We cannot dress like Lou Seal, that suggestion was rejected. Yesterday we just started a project to make blankets for foster kids. That idea was received with concern but I was able to slip it past the powers that be. I also had the opportunity to post this really cool sign on the microwave.



Doesn't it seem a little China Town to you? If it is disregarded we will lose microwave privileges altogether. I don’t really understand that threat because I have very limited ideas of what non-food items people cook in the microwave.

I picked up saltshaker making again. I still have quite a ways to go but I have been learning to accept that sometimes it is probably healthy to take my time.

This all seems a little down, non-work life is going just swell, that just isn't as note worthy.

What’s going on with you?

You could heat up the toilet paper to keep ya bum warm (I guess that's a theme I'm on today).
You could heat up water, as long as it's not to drink.
You could heat up your pencils so whenever you write something you could tell everyone it's "hot off the press."
I'm full of great ideas.
If you've been working at D&G (and by that I assume you mean Dolce and Gabana) you'll have no problem getting a job here in Manhattan. Besides which, you always have your nanny job awaiting you. :)
