Two things about this week:
1. Breezie's baby was born, Wednesday, 28 April, 2010. This lovely boy is yet to be named, but Mom is calling him Harper in honor of his being born on Harper Lee's birthday. Can't wait to go down to Lawton to welcome this new addition to the Oldham family!
2. Sean graduates from Oklahoma Christian University today. It was supposed to be nice and sunny, but it's turning out to look a lot like last year when Mara and I graduated. The president of Rwanda is speaking at Sean's commencement, so yay for heightened security and speeches in thick French accents. I look more forward to time afterward and before which we will be spending with much family.
Can you believe April has gone by so quickly?

Mid-week musings
Yesterday I learned:
the first ten "letters" of the Japanese alphabet. Arigato, Elyssa Dolinger!
Today I learned:
That sometimes I can tell people what to do and they will do it without complaining and then we will all have a good day.
I wish it were Friday, but other than that I'm cool.

April updates
Let's see...where am I right now?
Only a third the way through Les Miserables.
Another pile of books to read is forming around my bed, and that's not even counting the other books queued up on my Kindle.
Need to wash dishes.
Need to wash Sonic clothes.
Need to get away from Sonic!!!! I could spend a very long post just talking about everything that went wrong at work this week...but I shall refrain.
Just got a summer internship with Tate Publishing which will start next month.
Trying to be supportive of Sean who will be graduated by two weeks from today.
My house smells like wet dog right now.
And that's what you've missed on.....the life of Jessie!

Time to eat
You know they always say that you should never go grocery shopping hungry, but I've found that I shouldn't go shopping when I'm well rested and feel like I have plenty of time to cook. Today I bought salsa, ice cream, eggs, chips, yogurt, and a TON of fruit. I got kiwi, nectarines, plums, and pears. I'm just so excited about this sudden onslaught of new fruit choices. Yay spring! My mind was filled with ideas about sack lunches, snacking on carrots, and boiling eggs.
So this whole week was really boring because all I did was work, sleep, and watch television. I didn't have anything to talk about on here and my brain was dead because I was so tired of dealing with the drama at work. But now that I got a chance to sleep in and do nothing today, I finally have something to talk about, and maybe I really will get to work on Rahab today!
Today I got up, made waffles, read Les Miserables on my patio, vaccuumed, discovered that Bella had ripped her claw off, cleaned up all the blood that this created, welcomed Cory Giles, went to the store, come home and ate a Klondike bar. Mmmmmm.....now I'm ready for some chips, salsa, and hard core typing.
It really sucks that I still am coughing and have a runny nose when it's so nice outside. Maybe all this fruit will help.

Buddies
Today I learned:
How to "program" the headsets at work. We have four headsets and three channels that they run off of. This means that two of them are "buddies," and you can hear them on each other. THe point of having buddy headsets is so that a person new to taking orders can hear a experienced person take an order, or so that a more experienced employee cann butt in and save you if you don't know what's going on. We never use them that way, so usually the buddy just ends up being an extra that somebody might use every once in a while if the other person's hands are busy and they can't take the order. Anyway two of the headsets have stopped working recently and the two left were buddies, so we could essentially only take one order at a time. I called the help desk and learned how to assign different channels to the different headsets so that the two working ones would be on different channels and buddy-ed the two broken ones. It made me feel so smart! No one else was impressed. That's all.

Boggle
Yesterday I learned that:
I really enjoy playing Boggle. I know that the only reason I won was because John can't spell and Sean was out of practice, but it still was fun. Sean and I spent the snow storm of Saturday at John and Jayne's house, eating and playing games. Today we are resting up for a long week of work and school. Five weeks 'til Sean graduates! And now it's time to make fun of my brother.
Yesterday John learned that:
Galley is not spelled "galy" and sheath is not spelled "sheeth." I mean, really, John, when was the last time you read Treasure Island?
