Manday Monday.

that is what we have decided to call mondays. we all do more manly things than normal, to make matt feel better; not as out numbered by women.

and i think that Alison and I won. we did manly things. read:

today was our day off from the baby house and we spent our day working our FACES off. seriously. first we worked in the garden in the hot heat of the 8 oclock morning. and i got attacked by rotten cauliflower. seriously. i had green gunk on my shoes and in between my toes and on my shirt and on my hands. it. was. gross. then i went in and washed off and then went into the kitchen were they gave us job after job after job. and it wasnt the easiest work. first we swept and mopped the whole eating area, then we washed and peeled and seeded and chopped about 25 HUGE cucumbers. then we washed the dirtiest lettuce youve ever seen. then chopped it. then chopped more lettuce. then put together this strange concoction of what they call Whiskile. with goat cheese. yeah, strange. the we grated about 50 carrots. MY ARM WAS KILLING ME. then we went back to work in the garden. i was bending over the whole time weeding and every time i stood up i almost blacked out. uhuh. hard work. and it was stiiilll hot. then we ate lunch and i was feeling so sick from almost blacking out so many times so all i ate was rice and pb&j. and by then i was STILL feeling so sick and my back was in so much pain that i went and conked out on the sofa outside our room for about an hour. WHILE THE BAND HAD PRACTICE. and im not saying like drums and piano and guitar. this is like flutes and trumpets and trombones and maracas. and theyre all beginners so it sounds like. SOMEONE KILL MEEEE. thats what it sounds like. but i was so sick and so tired and in too much pain, so like i fell asleep amid all of that. matt who was trying to sleep on the sofa next to mine. well he didnt sleep at all. poor him. anyways, thennnn. we went back to work in the kitchen and of course we were just expecting, you know, more vegetables or something. oh no. on our day off? they made us scrub the BOTTOM of 12 crates that go OUTSIDE. for 2 and a half hours. it became comical 1 hour and 45 minutes in and by hour 2 we even had a song that we had made up with the rhythm of our brushes.

and that was our Manday Monday.
