A Week of Burns
12 February 2017

Busy week.  I begin every journal entry with, "Busy day today."  I'm turning into Grandma Smith.

I made Sam's popcorn treat for my lab.  It was very well received.  People loved it!

Tuesday night, I was supposed to go to Melanie Boren's wedding reception.  Well, to put it short, Maddy and I showed up to the location to find a dark and locked building.  We called Mom to figure out what was going on.  Her dyslexia struck again as she told us the wrong day.  She yelled in despair, "Who the heck has a reception on a Monday???"  I responded, "Who the heck has a reception on a Tuesday, Mom?"  The next day I was able to give the gardening tool and gift card to David and talk to him for 20 minutes.  He said that a 3-finger tool was a perfect Boren gift.

Melanie's gift.

Also on Tuesday, I had a mishap in the lab.  Upon removing my gloves, I got a nitric acid burn on my arm.  I was guilted into going to the health center (actually forced by my professor.)  Now this week, I need to do a presentation on how to properly remove gloves.  I guess the way to prevent accidents sheer humiliation

Fred was humiliated at the awful mess we made with neutralizing the acid

Fred, the cockiest of all grad students, continued to yell allowed, "I hate myself, I hate myself."  It was quite satisfying to hear those words come from him.  Since that moment, I've reminded him everyday of how he made that mistake.

 Friday night, I went on a date with a boy named Steven.  Steven is an engineer from the ward who I am not attracted to initially at all.  The date, however, was quite fun.  We went to the soap factory and made soap.  Mine was coconut and cocoa flavored, died yellow, and then painted it as shown below.  Steven's soap reflected his personality: mint soap, 1 dragonfly shape, dyed blue, painted blue.  He's a good kid though.  We also go ice cream at sub zero.

Cassie hosted a Pinterest party on Thursday, and we made the cutest banners!!! She is so good at hosting parties.  Now I'm ready for Valentines day and St. Patricks day.

The only festive part of my house... My shelf :)

I finished the St. Patrick's day Banner today.  So adorable!!!

That was my week.  Enjoy yours as well!  Watch out for those acid burns, and remember to remove your gloves with proper technique.
