1. We have a woodpecker living in our attic. I know, not the funniest of things especially when he is sounding like a jackhammer above your head. However, every time I hear him I have to giggle because it reminds me of the woodpecker on Fox & The Hound. I can just imagine that silly woodpecker in our attic chasing after a very cute caterpillar and it makes me laugh. It is getting kind of old hearing the drilling though, so Mike is going to find where he got in and take care of it.
2. For about a month now we have noticed that every time our heat comes on it is really loud. We have been saying forever that we need to change the filter, but just never have gotten around to it. Well we finally did it, and I am kicking myself that we didn't get one earlier, because it is abolsutely silent now. I don't even notice when the heat comes on. I can't count the times it has woken me up in the last while...that's some sleep I wish I could get back. Not to mention that the filter was completely black...so I'm thinking maybe that is why our bill was higher last month, and we have been sick so much. At about $5 you'd think we would have just picked one up, but we are apparently either too lazy, or not very smart. Oh well, live and learn I guess...
3. Mike has been asking me to make hamburger pinwheels (a dinner his mom would make) basically since we got married. We finally did it, and are pretty sure that we got food poisoning from them (not because they were pinwheels, but because the meat was bad). So after all of these years I finally made them and it will probably be another 4 before we are willing to eat them again. :(
4. Because of the food poisoning, Mike was too sick to make it to the Priesthood CO2 car races. He was so excited and had spent a few hours on his car and didn't even get to see it race. I took the boys and was able to see his car in action for him. He took 3rd out of 12 cars. Not bad eh? Everyone was sad that he wasn't able to make it, especially when his card did so well. Maybe next year...
5. For the car race, we were asked to make a desert. I decided to make Kellie's Brownie Pie complete with ice cream and strawberry sauce. To say the least it was a hit. One man even called it "positively sinfull". So if you get around to making it, it really is excellent.
After reading over this I realize that most of the post isn't that funny. Maybe I just found it funny because the week is now over.

The woodpecker is hilarious...when thinking about the cute catipillar that is.
I love most food that is positivly sinfull...
It actually is quite funny when you think of how bad the week was. You were trying to do good things and they all turned out different than you hoped.
The woodpecker idea is funny but I certainly wouldn't want to hear one above my head all the time.
Love the woodpecker! We had a bird that fell down our stove vent hood pipe and I couldn't help smiling, remembering the sound of the birds every summer at home.
Ok - now you guys need to stop posting yummy new desserts for me to try. It's time for me to start being good :S
I love the woodpecker because I remember waking up to a one when I was a senior in Arimo. The tree right next to that room. Hilarious.
I'm so glad the pie was a hit. I think it was a pretty easy recipe too, which is always nice. I just made lemon salad for our RS dinner and it was a hit too and only 4 ingredients.
I liked all of your randoms. Hope you have a good week.
