Susie's Leaning Tower of Chocolate for 2004 July 13

approx. 5:30 AM:I made a goal that I have to do two productive non-work things a day. Since I spent my evening napping (and still can hardly stay awake) I made myself crochet (two pairs of booties) and make fliers for the ward food drive. Now I’m going back to playing solitaire.

Today has been full of errand-running and Susie is very tired. I didn’t even get a present for my nephew, whose birthday party is the main reason I went out in the first place.

I’ve noticed that when I get an email or a phone call from an old roommate I never hear from they are announcing that they are engaged, or if already married, pregnant. Well, Julie called me today, and had the latter news. She and Jared are expecting a baby in November. I am very happy for them. Good thing I bought plenty of yarn today.

I've had tons to do at work lately, and it's great. I was given the job of scanning all of our international labels. I am working on the Canadian ones right now, a giant stack teaching me how to say things like "Kelp" in French.

I am doing well on my productivity goal. I am working on another baby hat and tonight I am going to scrapbook some stuff. Also vacuum.

For James' 5th birthday, I bought him a Dr. Seuss book I had never heard of, "Ten Apples Up on Top." He read the title out loud and said "I like this book!" I am pleased I picked out something good for him.
