Pretty uneventful last few days.  Thursday was entertaining though to say the least...Erin went with me for my first day of deliveries on my own...yep, deliveries to all the places I didn't take notes on.  I did A LOT of circles and driving around aimlessly but ended up making good time (somehow) with extra feta.  Tuesday should go much smoother since I actually took notes : )  I think Erin found it quite entertaining haha.

Yesterday was another day off and I just hung out at the farm and relaxed.  The only productive thing I really did was go with Erin and Thomas to pick up the Audi since we sold the Honda.  I'm gonna miss that car even though it was an element (which I think are some pretty ugly cars).  Monique, Alicia, and I are hoping to go to bamboo forest next Friday for our day off.  I can't wait!

Today was back to the grind.  It was also a "hay day".  I did the morning milking and teamed up with Dan for the weekly Saturday grand tour.  Then I filled the babies kennel and the stall in the barn with hay which took quite a few loads and fed the hay to all the "goaties" as I call them as well.  I was having "one of those days" and it just so happened I received a surprise package from Em's mom Holly Fortin.  What a pick me up!  She sent me a little milk maid with a goat and it made me laugh so much.  That paired with an encouraging letter was just what I needed.  Thank you so much Holly!!  It's so great having all the love and support from home while I'm so far and doing these adventures.  I sure do miss Michigan and everyone there.  Today was also my cooking day and I made spaghetti, salad, bread, and Grammy's apple dumplings.  It almost all went smoothly except for forgetting the bread and burning it.  Haha my boss walked in saying he wanted to make sure I wasn't burning the dairy down since he could smell burning bread from the office in the barn.  How embarrassing!  I'm definitely gonna have to work on the lack of cooking skills I have.  That or make a HUGE pot of ramen ; )   Grammy's apple dumplings turned out delicious though.  Thomas said "these don't have any sugar right?" (sarcastically of course because they're SO sugary and delicious).  Overall I survived my first official cooking night.  Whew!  

Ooo yeah and I had more pictures BUT I accidently restored my phone and lost them all : ( Thank god all my other photos are already saved on iphoto.  But I did lose my contacts
