numbers
1. got a chair rail and paint today and made the dining room pretty! slowly but surely this house is coming together.
2. i can’t believe it’s november already. that means that cold and icky have arrived. i hate being cold! i wish it would be 75 and partly cloudy all year except for december, when it can be 25 degrees and snow for christmas. then go back to 75 once january comes around.
3. i got my holiday schedule for work (meaning days production will be closed, but we don’t get holiday pay for them): day after thanksgiving, xmas eve close at noon, day after xmas off, new year eve close at 5 p.m., then work day after new years (??? it’s a friday for god’s sake!! close down the place!!). anyway, that is what’s up for any scheduling purposes with anyone who wants to do something around christmas (like MOA or maybe go visit colettie).
4. i am looking forward to hosting thanksgiving, but someone needs to come help me the night before!!!!
5. racism is alive and well in central minnesota: nate’s coworkers keep complaining they can’t believe "that n-word" is president. nate comes home at lunch and yells, "all aboard the hate train!!!" and to boot, someone commented on one of my facebook friend’s walls that s. africa had a black president and the country went to pot. apparently that means ours will too. sometimes i wonder about the human race. well, the white race in particular.
