"We are the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything!"

"..And if you ask us to do anything, we'll just tell you ' We don't do anything' "

Yeah, that sums it up sometimes. =) Today I've not done lots, but I went to church with Patrick this morning. Afterwards we went to Starbucks, got some frappuccinos and talked for a while about different things on our minds.  We got a free book to from church too! =) Then we went to a nice "pond" that has a walk way around it and talked some more. It's a very nice day out and so that was enjoyable.

At the moment, Alley and Katie are working on a snoopy puzzle. Music in the background is from Alley's IPod and it's quite a range of music. Anything from Wicked to Disney films to Phantom of the Opera. =) 

Later us girls will be going to Panera Bread Company to have a nice dinner, thanks to a gift card from Amazon since Katie had rewards with them.

So, I guess you could say we aren't exactly pirates who don't do anything ;)

What to do?..

I am out of ideas for that question.. but, I'm currently sitting on the cozy couch keeping up with the latest Seattle Mariners game, eating Reese's Pieces, after having run (not literally though) to the local Lowe's Home Improvement store and an interestingly observational time while eating dinner at Micky D's hamburger joint. (Double cheeseburger, small fries, and a medium Dr. Pepper, with an Oreo McFlurry for the road)

"Why", I'm sure you're asking," would you be in the home improvement store?" Well, I had 8 key's made. =) I'd say that's a record in my book for how many keys to be made all in one sitting. I also got a scraping razor to take a sticker that was on the back of my car off.  I'm a strange one, but I do love that store. It's probably because of all the practical things they have and the chance to learn and discover interesting tools. It's also inspirational. Dangerous place to take me if I could get things there.... hehe.

Did you know McDonald's is a place for grown ups just as much as it is for kids? I discovered this tonight while watching customers come in. You can find out quickly how people are as they order their food. I usually observe this while at my own work, but it's different being on the other side of the counter having got your order and noticing it. Personalities come out a touch more when there is a new-1st day-on-the-job cashier. I told her before I left that she'll do great, just takes time. =) I'm not usually a "stocker" but I guess I was in a contemplative mood again. 

I've had a good week, although tiring, with work and play. Saturday evening a few of us went to a cool knife, blade, and gun store and we oo'd and aah'd at the things they had. Swords, blowguns, throwing stars and knives, replica blades from movies and fantasy sci-fi games, and the like.  After that we  collected  one more person and went to Chic-fil-a for dinner. Seeing as they don't open on Sunday (the day most people want Chic-fil-a), we figured we'd better get our fill. =)

I will post about our Colorado trip, I promise! We had a great time sight seeing and visiting with the Hewitts. I think the five of us (Katie, Patrick, Alley, Tim, and I) are still recovering from our excursion to Colorado so we've not done much lately.  Tuesday I got to talk to the kiddos on the phone! That was great! Tomorrow evening there is a movie night/fun,food, and fellowship thing planned so that will be nice to do. =) 

So there's today's "day in the life of Jessica".  =) I need to make a goal of blogging every week I think.. Or either that to have a medium Dr. Pepper each week so I'll be more inclined to write ;) Sugar can do that.
