Here's the fun little things we did at work yesterday :)

So driving to work today I noticed a pair of shoes on the side of the highway, not an uncommon sight. I ask, what is the deal with this? Where are they coming from? Are people throwing them out the window because they are of no use to them anymore? Am I supposed to equate them to a can on the side of the road(boo, if that's the case)? If that's not the case, how do people not notice a PAIR OF SHOES fly out their window, or even the cab of their truck. And if its a truck, why are you just throwing things that can easily fly out of it once you hit 55? Oh life's questions...

Like what we've done with the kitchen floor?? Jealous much? Mike was working in the basement on the heating vent and the cat's just didn't understand what was happening.

Here's what they saw:

Here's what Mike saw:

Aww, the joys of living in a construction zone, sidestepping literal holes in the floor...:)

A couple weeks ago I came out to my car to go to work and found my ENTIRE car covered in a gorgeous and ridiculously hard frost. I couldn't even scrape it off with my window scraper, leaving me to wait out my defrost (and be a little late for work). Annoying? Definitely. Pretty? Yes.

When and how did I become a cat lady????

Is it too late for me?? Sigh.

Bosslady said she wanted a Halloween display in the window using Sven, our one and only scandanavian moving (like 60 lb) mannequin. Perhaps a sheet over him like he's dead, she said. A bit gruesome?? Well here's what we came up with instead...

Sven has been found murdered, complete with evidence. In case you're wondering, no, we weren't afraid to use dated pop culture references as material.

Poor guy, death by kayak paddle. The worst way to go. Look at that pool of blood. Oh, and can you please note the fact that sven regularly wears a lime green turtleneck...

Murdered while trick or treating. Let that be a lesson, we thought, to kids walking by the window and seeing this.Are you wondering Hoo done it??

All evidence suggested it was Bosslady herself. Whoops.

It's apple season in these parts (well just about over, really) and this is what we did at work :


That would be ten or eleven 5lb bags of peeled and sliced apples. Yes, that's using just a knife and peeler. Or just a knife for Debbie. That was my last apple slicing day for the season. By the time I get back to work on Friday she'll have finished the rest. While my hands and back would hurt at the end of the day it was kind of nice just to stand there and chat the whole day. I'll kind of miss it.
