snapdragon76: this is made of win and awesome (Default)
I have flour over me now.

We just got back from a Gingerbread House making contest over at my Music Minister's house. Our team made a Star Trek shuttle landing on a snow covered planet. It was pretty clever. I forgot my camera or else I'd have taken pictures... We won for Most Imaginative. Mom's team won for Best Overall (which was a lighthouse. I kid you not). Most Creative won with a Gingerbread Stonehenge. Scarily accurate, too. It even had a chocolate Druid.


I finished the Post Secret book. You don't realize it, but it's very emotional. I saw cards in there that hit very close to home for me and it was unexpected.

I had a massive depressive episode last night. I guess my hormones are out of whack coupled with my stressful life situation. I spent a while curled up on the bathroom floor. I felt better this morning.

The meeting today went well. We discussed what we feel some of the most stressful situations are in regards to our work situation. They said that they hope to be completely paperless by the middle of the year. I think that's stretching it a bit myself. But, we'll see where it goes. Hopefully some help will be sent our way.

Tomorrow is errand day and Sunday mom is gonna spend time with my aunt for her birthday (which is officially on Monday). So I will be stuck at home. Maybe I can get some stuff watched.

Trivia of the day: In the world's oceans, there are: 58 species of sea grasses. Less than 1,000 species of cephalopods - squids, octopi, & pearly nautiluses. 1,000 species of sea anemones. 1,500 species of brown algae. 7,000 species of echinoderms - starfishes, sea urchins, sea cucumbers and sea lilies. 13,000 species of fishes. 50,000 species of molluscs.

It was very nice. Like I said, I wish I had my camera... And since it was TOS we had red gummi bears as the hapless Red Shirts. One was a casualty, of course.

I hope so too. Since it's holiday season, it's gonna be busier than normal.

We had to be a bit creative in how we assembled it. We also had to be careful lest if fall apart on us.

Wow, you people are creative. I don't think I could do anything with gingerbread but eat it.

A gingerbread Stonehenge sounds awesome though. And the shuttle of course... maybe it was the Galileo, since this was TOS. *tries to remember if the Galileo ever came back*

All the gingerbread creations sound lovely. I love things like that.

Hope you're feeling better soon.

They're going to be displayed on Sunday, so I'll be taking my camera for pictures.

And I think it was the Galileo if I remember correctly.

*re: your icon* Rock and Roll!

Yes, it was a lot of fun. I'll be taking pictures of them tomorrow to post soon.

I feel better now, thank you.
