thursday

things i noticed today:

1. zucchini grows like WEEDS around here. I feel like i'm offered a zucchini at least once a week. at least. i currently have 3 GIANT zucchini on my counter! i was going to make bread with it, until last week when devin said he didn't like zucchini bread. hmph. anybody want some zucchini? haha. i'll probably use them, but just to eat with dinner. i don't know what else i can do! lasagna?

2. people are so impatient about their car door getting unlocked. i am among those people. i can't even justify it. it's just seems that as soon as i'm at the car, i have this very sudden urge to sit down. like my legs just can't stand it any longer. and for some reason, i am almost positive that pulling on the handle a thousand times will make a difference. news flash: it won't. realistically speaking, it probably takes the drives roughly 5 seconds to unlock their own door and hit the unlock button, but those just happen to be 5 of the longest seconds of anybody's life.

3. my teeth are extremely sensitive. i've known this for a long time, but tonight it seemed worse than normal! my hot pizza hurt my front teeth! i usually just have a hard time with things like ice cream and ice water. but pizza? gimme a break!

4. i am completely baffled at the fact that Devin and I have been married almost 4 months, and are only just now buying Tums. He's a Tums guy.

TONIGHT: was absolutely great! Brandon came into town earlier than he planned (he's been in colorado making amazing food for awesome people at a ranch all summer), so we got to hang out with him for awhile. Devin showed brandon his new toys, namely the truck (who's had a sex change, by the way. apparently she's a he now.) and his computer, while I entertained the dogs! Is it weird that I legitimately missed my brother-in-law's dogs? They're just that awesome. Riley and Koda are rad dogs. There is simply no other way to put it. Riley even cold-nosed me TWICE. I think it was just to make up for all the ones we missed over the summer.

 

 A little later, we headed to Sean and Chloe's softball game. If i'm correct, they've gone undefeated, and are now playing in a double elimination tournament. They 10-run-ruled their opponents AGAIN tonight, which was awesome! Also, Devin's parents were there with Amanda, Makayla and Kaden. It was great to have a sort of impromptu family get together. Love those Ashby's!

Next, we headed to Slab for pizza with Sean, Chloe, Brandon, Chloe's Twin, Maddie. Chloe and Maddie's brother, Sam, and Sam's wife Sarah. Sam and Maddie play on the softball team with Sean and Chloe.. If you haven't ever been, you should go! It's pretty affordable, especially since you're getting 1/4 of a pizza...! I got BBQ Chicken and everybody else got Buffalo Wing. I'm such a baby with spicy food! It was so delicious though! Loved it. It was so fun to hang out with the Thomas group. They're all great.

Now, Devin and Brandon are in the office doing nerdy things that I don't understand. I think they're making it so Devin's computer can run Mac and Windows. It's all way over my head.

We have a REALLY busy next couple of weeks coming up! So many parties and plans coming up. It's going to be so fun, especially since a lot of it will be catching up with good friends we haven't been able to see in awhile (Banner, Harry, Danica, Ryan...). Devin's work party is next week, and that's sure to be entertaining... haha.

Tomorrow, I have work off (no munchkins :(...) but I plan on getting a lot done. Fingers crossed! Oh. and I have some projects to post tomorrow, hopefully.
