This may become a regular Friday topic though, really, I am random on other days of the week.

1) Still worried about the 26 people (and three) kids coming to our place tomorrow. Where will everyone sit? Will we have enough food? Just how much beer should I buy? Will I get the house clean in time? Will I have any alone time at all before people show up? Would it be wrong to go to Dan’s house tomorrow morning for waffles and leave Matt at home to clean up and cook?

2) I’m getting very good at reading pages upon pages of requirements. Not sure this is a good thing, as it means I’ll be required to do more of it in the near future.

3) The crochet hat isn’t going as bad as I thought. I’m actually doing things correctly. It now looks like a dinner plate instead of a hat but I’m only two rounds away from decreases. Still not used to starting a hat at the tip-top rather than the brim.

4) Ran again with Alison this morning. Wasn’t feeling great so ran faster than usual during the running parts. 2.5 miles at perfect 13:00 minute per mile pace Now quite sore and reading for a nap as a result.

5) Saturday and Sunday is the Old Town Alexandria Craft Fair. Really hoping I can make it on Sunday, post party recovery.

6) I brought frozen pizza for lunch today. The cooking time was given in table format. For each of three possible oven wattages, there was a range of cooking times. I zapped it for four minutes and hoped for the best.

7) The edges are crispy, the middle is a puddle of molten cheese.

8) Decided I can no longer take work notes in an actual notebook. Have moved to engineering paper inside a three-ring binder. I already feel calmer.
