Just 3 days left of my Stepbet. It's looking like the earnings will be around $10. I'm planning on doing another one, but not until after DH and I get back from Chicago.
Yes, we are officially going to Chicago next Wednesday and Thursday. Driving. Partially to buy DH a car, and partially for a quick get away. I'm thankful Friday will be a holiday for me. Sleep!

Something sad at work today. One of the new employees who I really liked was let go. She was within her 6 month probation period. 
Not sure why.

At work I learned something else today - about copiers.
When you put paper into the drawer, you should do it "seam side" up. (the seam referring to the paper covering the ream of paper.) You also should do something called "fluffing" the paper (i.e. adding air pockets.)
All to avoid something like this:
(Kind of beautiful in its own way I think ...)

Still going strong on the no soda ... though I had a real test a few days ago - the first day the bus routes changed. STRESSED OUT! But I persevered and bought some carbonated water from family dollar instead. (and ... chocolate.)

Only 13 days till Trans Siberian Orchestra!!

The other day we had a backpack come in to Lost and Found, and inside it was a Nevada Barr book - one I hadn't read!
I picked it up from the library today. 
(on CD so I can load it on my phone to listen to while walking or in the car.)

I bought some parsnips today. I plan on making them for dinner on Sunday. 
I've never had them, so it should be interesting.
I also bought a bag of fresh cranberries last week. I put about 1/4 cup of them in my smoothie on Wednesday. Blegh! Yesterday and today I only put 3 or 4 ... much better.

DH emptied out the transmission fluid from his Honda (which he drove through high water last May?) in an attempt to get it working again. It didn't work.
So now he's on the hunt for a used transmission. He thinks he may have found one two hours away for $150. He just needs to find out if it's vtech or not?
If he can get the car going again for $500 or less, then it should be worth it. Otherwise, he may be ready to sell it. (It's a 2001 Honda with around 149k miles.)

But I have totally jammed up a copier, when it required all the teachers to resend their print jobs. One teacher was so loud and angry about it, there was no way I was confessing to that jam.

VS - I'm okay with just a few cranberries in my smoothie. It was just too many that first time.
