Susie's Leaning Tower of Chocolate for 2004 October 18

Last night, some of our neighbors invited us over for ColdStone type ice cream, with mixins. They have a granite slab they keep in their freezer. Afterwards, we played Apples to Apples for a little while. We've never really hung out with anyone in the ward (at least people we didn't already know, like Julie, and Kristi, and Jana) so it was nice.

Speaking of Julie and Kristi, I think I mentioned Julie is expecting a baby next month, but not that Kristi is having a boy in January. They no longer live next door, a wise choice if you're going to be starting a family. Our apartment would just be too small for that.

Among the things I have to do today are gather up some products from the company store for Senator Hatch who is visiting today, and fill out a questionnaire for the comedian/magician who will be performing at our Holiday Party.

I had McDonald's for lunch (yay Dollar Menu). I haven't eaten my parfait yet; I'll let you know if it's as good as it looks.

I remember writing once about the odd things I've gotten paper cuts from (cardboard box, binder etc). Today I was cutting open a box for the company store, using a box cutter very safely, and I cut myself on the tape. Tape.

John got another 100%. He is so smart. It gives him more time to be with me!

John asked me very nicely to make him some more chocolate-covered pretzels, so I did. They are so yummy! Here is my recipe: Melt some chocolate in a double-boiler. Dip pretzels in chocolate. Lay on tin foil, shiny side down. Put in freezer. Eat!
