I finally made it back to the green house to check the internet. (Good thing too, becuase my library books are due today!).
Today was an awsome day. Clay, Liz, Benn, Bart, Alex and I were at a new house today installing hardwood floors. I got to use many many power tools YAY! (Nail gun, table saw, chop saw...you know all things awesome!) We may possibly go back tomorrow. The History Channel is definetly going to be there...but even if my team doesnt go there, everyone should watch for that house on the History Channel.
Yesterday Marshall told me I was the manliest girl he ever met (except for a lesbian who had man parts). It was the nicest thing he ever said to me...Marshall if you ever read this...thanks.
Thanksgiving was alot of fun. We had Water1 and Water4 over for dinner, and everyone brought amazing food. Like vegan green bean cassarole, and sweet potato pie. I made a turkey, and Benn helped me to create 7 apple pies that were our teams contribution.
The morning of Thanksgiving we did as ISP at the Turkey Trot, a race to benefit Spinal Bifida. After wards the woman in charge gave us a box of leftover bananas. AWESOME!! So for a while our kitchen looked like a place Donkey Kong would consider home. After it became clear that we would never be able to consume enough bananas before they went bad I started making banana bread. Three the first night, another huge one last night. When Clay asked what was in them I told him love. Jeremy promptly responded, "Where did you get that...we know you dont have any." Secretly I've been siphoning off everyone elses love, and storing it in the cold empty pit that used to house my soul. At least, thats what I told Jeremy. Hilarious.
This weekend we did more ISPs with Hands on New Orleans. We were working on building a walkway for a community garden. It was two awesome days of digging in the dirt, and hauling bricks around. I'm glad to say I', now halfway done with the 80 required ISP hours!
This weekend I also took advantage of the opportunity to explore the New Orleans nightlife, including Burbon Street, and Frenchmen Street. Walking around is an awesome sight to see. The streets are packed, and with the plethora of NCCCs in the NO area we ran into several of our friends we haven't seen since CTI.
