I was at work from 8-12:30 then went with my friend Justin to buy chairs for our desks (he needed one too), then I was all-clear to get tons of reading and scheduling and planning and homework done before I was to make home-made ice-cream for our little Family Home Evening Activity. So, that left me from about 2 till 7 to do my homework and stuff, and make a quick run to the grocery store to buy cream for the ice-cream.
I have no idea what happened to my day. Facebook, random surfing, getting a couple things acutally accomplished here and there - but now it's 10:45 PM and I can't go to bed because I have homework to do. Dumb. Just dumb. I need to lock myself in the library. I'm so much more effective there.
But the ice-cream did turn out well-ish. We used a recipe that came with the ice-cream maker (which we got for our wedding, thank you again to whomever that was...) and it turned out a little more creamy than icy - it was like really really thick ice-cream after being melted a bit. Thankfully it still tasted good. That was helped also by homemade waffle-cones that Heidi made on the waffle cone maker (which we also got for our wedding - thanks be to that gifter as well). The waffle cones turned out wonderfully.
Four couples from our complex helped us eat the ice-cream and waffle-cones, one of them our dear friends the Jensens, another couple who's been in the complex for a while but whom we're just getting to know better, and two new couples that just moved in in the last couple of weeks. We had a good time chatting, laughing, and getting to know each other better.
And I got a great chair from Pinnacle Security - they were selling off their call-center chairs so they could replace them - for only $10. Now the Jensens and us have matching chairs. Twiners.
Ciao.
