Week 29

Day 196: Feb 22, 2015

Well, I have won my first ever film award, for writing nonetheless. Explanation- So, I ended up helping one of the groups of film-makers. They were supposed to make a chick flick and they had almost everything figured out but they didn't know how to reconcile the couple at the end of the movie. Alex told me that he would give me writing credit if I had an idea for them. In the end, we decided to have one of the two characters hold up a boom box. It was the scene that made the two characters realize that they still loved each other. The movie won best picture!

Day 197: Feb 23, 2015

A pretty boring day over all.

Day 198: Feb 24, 2015

Dinner was amazing tonight. We did an appetizer extravaganza so there were ten different choices for dinner plus the high schoolers made cheesecake. I made pigs in a blanket. I figured the kids needed something that they would like. They went way faster than anything else. It was pretty great. I ended the day watching Bones with Pat.

Day 199: Feb 25, 2015

Watched more Bones with Pat but otherwise it was a pretty boring day.

Day 200: Feb 26, 2015

Today's shift was awesome! We had waffles for dinner which meant that we had to do almost no cooking but we still kept ourselves busy. Also, because people were going to make their own waffles we started dinner early and ended late. That meant that we had a ridiculous amount of time with nothing to do. So, Hallie went and got her deck of Cards Against Humanity. We ended up playing cards for at least a half hour if not 45 minutes while we were waiting to take down dinner. It was great.

Day 201: Feb 27, 2015

Today was a very successful day. I made the schedule for the rest of the time that we will be in the kitchen. I made 10 dozen pumpkin muffins from my mom's recipe and got a huge number of compliments on them (thanks mom!). I did my taxes. I went to an open house for the Holden board members. All of this and I took a nap. It was a very productive day.

Day 202: Feb 28, 2015

Oh man, today was great. Mainly because we had another dance party. I am writing this at 12:30 am. That is how great it was. The reason for the party was the going away of a long-term staffer and the theme was a rave. I wore my fluorescent safety vest and we put on glow-in-the-dark face paint and glitter. I even temporarily dyed the tips of my hair pink. It was so much fun and I have a feeling that I am going to be sore tomorrow morning.
