Thursday Things

It's been a very busy week in the Brungardt household.  Between crazy work schedules, evening commitments, household chores that have been put on the back burner and gearing up for another busy weekend I haven't had much time to sit down, let alone blog!  So today, it's just a random list of things:

• Our office held a U.S. Senatorial Candidate Debate this week.  Whew!  I've never been so glad that I'm not involved with politics beyond my job.  The debate was very informative and I do enjoy learning about the political arena and how things work, but I don't like all of the personal attacks.  I definitely know who I am going to vote for and I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on most of the issues.
• It has been a scorcher here this week and I'm sure it has been that way for most of the state.  Good thing we picked this week to plant a few new flowers and a new bush...NOT!  The other evening I was outside watering around 7:30 or 8:00 and I was sweating and getting eaten by mosquitos.  I definitely did not like that.
• Speaking of watering... After I finished watering, I was walking back to roll the hose up and noticed half of a baby bunny body on our new patio!  Then, I remembered how Koby was not too interested in coming back in the house earlier that morning.  Then, I was horrified!!!  Surely Koby didn't kill that bunny.  I mean, he's just a little thing and I don't think he has much of a hunting instinct.  And, surely I didn't let him lick me that day and then, I got sick to my stomach and promptly called Brandon.
• And speaking of Koby...he is spending a few days at my parent's house "in the country". So far, he and Hank, the cat, have become pretty good friends. My mom told me she let Hank in the house last night and wherever Koby went Hank went and vice versa.  He's a lover!
• I haven't had much time to cook this week (or much desire) so I sent some of my famer's market produce home with my mom.  Needless to say I haven't tried the new recipe yet either...
• My summer women's Bible study ended last night. I've really enjoyed this study about the characteristics God desires in his leaders. I hope I can find another study to do this fall. It is kind of refreshing to be surrounded by other women because I like to hear their perspectives and thoughts.
• I'm doing flowers for a wedding this weekend and I'm nervous!!  I'm confident in my skills but nervouse about the flowers holding up in this weather.  Send good vibes my way if you think about it :)

Well, that is a quick update.  I will be back soon!
