My friend Lisa tagged me to post my fourth photo in my fourth folder or something like that. Since I haven't ever found time at home to do this, I've decided to post the only photo that I have at work that has not made an appearance on this blog. I take quite a bit of pride in it because it is something that I created with my friend Lizzie. It's a SCIENCE cake! Can you believe it?!? I made this cake for Bart's birthday; he was completely surprised! Sorry the picture is a little rough; it's from a cell phone.
I'll describe what you are seeing in case you can't tell. That large thingy stretching across the center is DNA, which even has the correctly labeled base pairings. The blue and white thing is a pipette, which says "love Katie", and the large white cylinder is a beaker that says 30 mL old on top. Hehehehe. Someday we will get around to posting about our trip to New York, but until then we will leave you wishing you had some cake to eat right now.
Do you watch The Colbert Report? Well it's time you start -- because I'm going to be on it!
Okay, so that isn't entirely true. But I am going to be at it, for Monday's show. Katie got us tickets to the filming of Monday's (3/16) filming! (This is no small feat. Just for the experience, go to the website and try to get tickets. You'll find that there are no tickets left -- not only for the next several shows, but for the next several years.)
So we're spending a three-day weekend in New York to celebrate our anniversary and my birthday, and to attend the filming.
I love you, Katie. I'm the luckiest guy in the world.
Bart and I drive to work together every day. Sometimes we have interesting conversations about government, Church stuff, how lame my boss is, etc. Sometimes we have conversations that are a little out there. For example, yesterday we talked about how we could totally live as farmers. So, in the event that our economy completely goes to crap, we concocted a plan for how the Andersons/Fords/Lays would survive if America reverted to an agrarian society. Here are your assignments:
Andy: Head Farmer--you are by far the toughest and the strongest, read further down the list to see who will be your assistants
Richelle: Teacher--you can educate all of our children because I most certainly don't want to be left in charge of that
Shawn: Mechanic--you are in charge of creating farm equipment that will help our farm destroy the neighboring competition
Mindy: Cook--I like brownies--please figure out how to make those over a wood-burning stove
Bart: Doctor--he said in the car that he wanted to do something else, but we have to have a doctor and he's the closest thing we've got; he can also be the mid-wife
Katie: Print shop/newspaper editor--another way we will make money and force our neighbors to read about how awesome we are
Derek: Crop duster--you will fly the crop duster that Shawn will invent
Becca: Seamstress--but don't make just aprons; I don't want my bumm hanging out in the middle of the winter
Kurt: Hunter/fisher
Bonnie-lass: Ranch hand--you can lass-o all the animals back to the corral. (hehehe. See what I did there?)
Jon: banker/store owner
Ashley: barber/assistant to the store owner
All the children: field hands--probably sounds kind of harsh, but isn't that the whole reason people had kids back then? Someone needs to start having some boys... Not it.
For any questions about your assignments, please contact Julie, she's the only one who's actually lived on a farm.
