Today we went to MSI to see the Muppet exhibit! When we got there they only had two tickets left for the four of us. We ended up sneaking 2 people in. I'd feel worse about it if I didn't get free passes and don't really plan on using the other four free passes we've got coming to us. The exhibit is only there for a few more weeks so we may not make it back in time. It was neat to see the different drawings that Henson had. He had a TON of stuff -- and most of it wasn't ever published. Surprise Surprise there right? I wish that the kids weren't there so we could have played with the muppets and such, but alas, the museum does incorporate children quite well and us adults have to be "mean" or just wait our turns and get looks when we want to do something that is "just for kids." They had a few muppets, and the coolest one was of Miss Piggy all dressed up as a bride. I managed to sneak a few pics, so if you want to see them then you'll need to talk to me because I'm not entirely sure I was supposed to take them...
We also got to play with the storms exhibit again. We got to listen to a talk on the Tesla coil. I could have given a better one! I felt bad for the poor girl giving it who was having trouble with simple words -- we think it was her first day there, or at least that's what we'll tell ourselves because there really isn't any other excuse for some of it. I found a few new quotes and here they are...
This morning started early because I played with the woodwind ensemble for church. Chris is working on learning enough oboe to play with us by the end of the month. The conductor was like, "what we really need is an oboe" and Chris thought he might be able to use him sax skills on a double reeded instrument. We'll see how it goes, but it would be fun to play with him in the same group again.
Overall our weekend went quite quickly. We had the Wink Christmas Party last night (he does it in celebration of Kings Day -- Jan 6). I hadn't told him that I was expecting so it was quite entertaining when he kept pouring the martini out of the shaker long after the ice was dry. Now a few more people know about the whole pregnancy thing. I'm lucky that I'm still not showing because no one really believes that I'm pregnant. Hopefully it will help me land this Astra Zeneca position soon and I can get trained. Pray for it!
School starts this week for both of us. Chris starts tomorrow morning and I start Tuesday. I have a section of Earth Science and a section of Physical Science. We'll see how they go this term. Hopefully I'll get to quit mid term. I'd almost feel bad if by the end of each term I wasn't dreading going to school. I suppose I need to get to bed though because 430 is going to come early tomorrow. Hope everyone has a good week!
