How Many Times Does That Happen?

How many times does it actually happen that the first half of the week goes really well?

In all honesty, Monday through Wednesday are usually dragging for me and I'm looking forward to the end and the weekend. Good news and events almost always happen in the later part of the week. Is it true for you too?

Well this week, dispite the FREEZING weather, has been awesome!

The good news - The robot at work did not cooperate well last week, but has been working perfectly and has finished my experiment. I'm crossing my fingers that it continues to be so wonderful while I work up and run my analysis! {Do you hear me robot? I'm loving you right now, will you return the favor?}

I have also been really productive! I have organized and finished all of the samples I had to run in my new lab {all 19 of them!}, completed nearly all of the notebook entries for samples in BOTH labs, and had time at home to process some more of the pictures I took of my nephew!

However, last night, not so productive. Neither of us got home until 5:30! Then we spent way to long at the gym. I didn't even start making dinner until 8:30. and then we went to bed...we lead such fun and exciting lives!

If the beginning of the week wasn't good enough, the end keeps sounding better and better!

The Boy {husband's best friend from elementary school} is coming to visit Thursday to Sunday! I love to have him visit! I just wish that his fiance {The Girl} could come too! I absolutely love her and couldn't be more thrilled that they are getting married in June!

This weekend promises to be filled with...

Good food - I can practice ANY recipe on the guys and they will love it. And if they don't I am getting The Boy his very own box of cereal, which will probably be gone before he leaves!

Lots of video games - Its what they do. And that means that I will get lots of naps because video game gun fire at 10,000 desibles = me falling asleep for some reason.

Plenty of time for me to get things done without having to make sure Husband is entertained. I have mentioned it before...he is sooo ADD.

And because I love their pictures, I'll leave you with one from their engagement session we had last year...

You Asked - I Answered

As promised...you have asked your questions {well at least a couple of you!} and here are the answers!

From Sara of Unwrap Life... If you could have any job in the world, what would it be? {Random fact about Sara - She can wiggle her ears!}

First of all, I thought that you all might know a little fact about Husband along these lines...Husband can wiggle his ears too! He can even wiggle each ear individually and then he throws in the wiggle of his hair line. Its hilarious and disturbing at the same time. Can you tell he was bored a lot when he was little? {Thank you ADHD!} - Now onto the question. If I could do anything int he world it would be a job that combines my love for science with my love for art! Whenever we would take those questionnaires at school to figure out what we were meant to be when we grew up {do you know the ones I'm talking about?} mine were always split completely down the middle! I think those tests were pretty accurate though...If I don't have a balance of the two in my life I start the feel unbalanced, either I feel overwhelmingly obsessive compulsive or sloppy and aloof. If you know of any jobs out there that evenly combine both I'm all ears!

From Whiteny of That Girl and Her Pug... How did you meet your hubby? {Random fact about Whiteny - she's a walking contradiction}

Great question Whitney and its a great story! Husband and I are high school sweethearts and did not go to the same school. It all started because I didn't want to take gym class during the school year. {It interfered with my art class schedule and I couldn't have that!} The school I went to didn't offer summer classes so I had o pick one of the other schools in the area, which brought me to he early morning summer gym class at Husband's school. Husband ~~was required~~ chose to take the class to condition for basketball season. I would come from my 5 mile cross country practices to this 'class'. {I was lookin' smokin' hot! haha} He made his move on the rowing machines and asked if I wanted to meet him at the first football game of the year between our two schools. We spent the rest of the class working out together and even shared a few beautiful moments puking together during Ike Ball. {Ike Ball = take your friend the free weight, hold it above your head and run down the football field and back} Yeah it was love at first site! haha

Thanks for the great questions you two! It was fun answering them and learning a little about you! I will leave you with a couple of pictures of me and Husband!
