The easiest way to a mans heart
I was working my night shift tonight, and on my lunch, I bought groceries.
When I got home, I was putting them away when I noticed that a whole jar of salsa was gone, and the wrapper of a super-size bag of twizlers was on the sofa.
Disbelievingly, I asked Matt, and shockingly, this is what it was:
That is what he had for dinner.
When I asked him why, he said, "Well, nothing was cooked!"
ok, I think that he would starve (or survive on icky salsa,) if I didn't cook.
Eeeeww . . . . I keep thinking about it. . . . a WHOLE can of salsa . . . GONE!!!

whoo-hoo!
Just wanted to share with everyone, I rock at spanish.
Last night at work, we were all back having a meeting, and over the walkie, someone asks if there is anyone who speaks spanish. My boss turns to me, and says, "go over to electronics and help them out." and tells the person on the walkie that I am on my way over. I was protesting like crazy that I don't know spanish very well, and I haven't taken it for 3 years, but it didn't seem to matter.
As I walked over, I took my time, secretly hoping that whoever it was would get tiered of waiting and leave.
Oh not so.
I got there, and the two guys were like, "hablas espanol?"
"Un poco," I replied.
He started saying what he needed, and here is the crazy part: I understood him.
I caught the words "cell phone" and "free minnutes", so I put it together that he wanted a phone with somekind of free minutes.
It was sooo cool that I understood him, and he seemed appreciative that someone in the store understood him also.
BUT IT DOESNT END HERE!!!
Today in jewelry, I went over to help a guest, who, lo and behold, didn't speak english.
BUT AGAIN, I UNDERSTOOD!
She asked me what size the ring was, asked if she could look at a pair of earings, ect. I was doing really well until her husband asked me the same "hablas espanol" question.
Same answer.
Well, I must have been doing pretty good, because she started rattiling off, asking (I think,) what kind of metel the jewelry was made out of. I have no idea how to say "it is silver with a top layer of gold plating," so I just shrugged and told her I was sorry.
Do you think this is Gods way of telling me that my carreer is based in spanish? It felt so good to know that I could help out, and speak a language no one else in the store knows, to open up a new door of service to people. *sigh* I felt very blessed and inspired that I had those people for guests.

Live, from Washington
I had a good week so far!!!
Yesterday we went out on the lake to khiak, (I think that is how you spell it,) and today we took the ferry over to the San Juan islands. It was so beautiful and peaceful there, I wanted to stay there forever. We saw a lighthouse that was on the edge of a rocky bank, and it was so cool that I took atleast 10 pictures. :) I will have to upload them latter.
As we were comming back on the ferry, I saw the most beautiful sunset. It was setting behind the mountians and was reflecting an orange/red hue, creating the sensation that the whole mountain was on fire and casting it brilliantly into the ocean. A picture could never capture it, so I won't even try with this one.
We went to lots of little shops, and I got some new cookie cutters!!! They are in the shape of a lighthouse, teapot, and a dolphin! So cool. I can't wait to make cookies out of them!
