Day 88: Packing

Packing for the beach in Texas.

Day 87: Arts, Beats & Eats

I went to Arts, Beats, and Eats 2010 with Nina, Dan, Fred, Amy, and Ashley.  We looked at some art and ate a lot of yummy food.  Everybody else was taking group photos of our faces and I decided to do something different.  So, I took a group photo of our feet.

Day 86: Beowulf

For my literature class this semester, I have to read Beowulf—thankfully it's a modern translation and much easier to understand.  Also, I was able to find an audio version of it, so I listened to it today while I cleaned the pool and when I was cutting up tomatoes for the dehydrator, and cutting up bell peppers and green beans for the freezer (from Mom's garden).

Day 85: Tomatos

Ashley and I went to the Farmer's Market today and bought a bushel of tomatoes (along with cheesy giraffe homemade dog treats for the boys, and slushie cider and kettle corn for us).  Then we went out to Mom's house to can them.

Day 84: Game Night

Me, Jamey, Colleen, Ashley, Teressa, and Vic.

Ashley and I hosted game night at our house—complete with crabmeat cheese and wine.  We played Guesstures, Pictionary, Battle of the Sexes (we had uneven teams, so I had to be one of the guys), and Apples to Apples.

Day 83: Salsa

Tomorrow we're having a potluck at work.  I'm bringing chips and salsas.

Mango cucumber salsa contains: English cucumber, mango, purple onion, cilantro, jalapeno, garlic, and a splash of lime juice.

Traditional tomato salsa contains: tomato, green pepper, purple onion, garlic, cilantro, jalapeno, and a splash of lime juice.

Black bean and corn salsa contains: corn, black beans, green pepper, green onion, cilantro.

Day 82: 30,000 Words

My word count for "The Museum Job" is finally above 30,000.  I thought I'd never get there.  Every time I added 50 words, I'd delete 60.  I floundered in the 29,000s for what seemed like forever.  My current word count is 30,562.  Woo hoo!
