Thursday night Paul and I (Summer flaked out on us and I just wanted to bring that up again in this blog so she would remember it, haha!) took Liz Farrell out for her birthday. We went to the Italian Pie Shoppe and got hot wings and a yummy yummy pizza that we each picked a topping for. I love hot wings.
The funny thing about the evening though is we went in the restaurant, where you are supposed to seat yourself, and they didn't notice us for about 20 minutes (for real), until finally Liz went and got menus for us. Then they brought us water and apologized and asked if we were ready to order, even though we had just opened the menus. So they said they would be back in a few minutes, and then avoided eye contact with us for the next 25, according to my watch. Liz and I were laughing very hard watching Paul trying to get them to come over, even trying to call them over at one point. When they finally came they seemed to not even be aware that we had been sitting there that long.

So out canvassing lately I have been ignoring the rules, which makes the days go by better. For example, on F 9-11 opening, at one point we just all went out to dinner at a sit-down restaurant for an hour. (We are supposed to always have someone canvassing and meal breaks are supposed to be maximum 1/2-hour.) On Saturday we left 45 minutes early and got "lost" at a Dairy Queen on our way back from the suburbs, where we did all our paperwork so we arrived back at the office and could go home, basically, which never happens. The girls who were with me swore they wouldn't tell, and one quit that afternoon anyway cause she's going abroad, and the other's studying to be a Lutheran minister so she said she can't swear to god and then break her promise. Haha.

Wedding afghan's going well; I've got about a square-and-a-half done, and this week I'm going to learn how to crochet so that I can do the edgings around the squares and sew them together later. I'm aiming for a square a week (there are 20 in all)...they're hard to do though cause of all the switch-ups and fancy things you need to do, and remembering to count stitches and whatnot.

Erin I think you should read the princess diaries.
