I have stuff, sort of

Things which I have learned today at work: Wrigley's introduced Doublemint gum in 1914 and the doublemint twins advertising campaign in 1936. Also, I would appreciate it if field crew would not bring back gum wrappers. I guarantee you that the gum wrapper will biodegrade in the ground before it becomes archaeologically significant. The same goes for the plume from a Hersey's kiss. Thanks.

In other things, Today was the first night of Handbell choir in addition to regular choir, as well as our handbell director's last night since he got a job at a church in Lafayette. Sad day (for us, not for him). I managed to move myself back down to D and E(5) from E and F(5) which seems like it wouldn't be that difficult of a change reading wise, but I was constantly forgetting which hand my line note and space note were in and music doesn't usually sound so good if you play your two notes in exact reverse order. Trust me. Apparently the main choir direct will be taking over handbells starting next week.

Sometimes I love how nerdy my office is. Every month, I have the other lab-ies look for weird (and normal) holidays and I illustrate the calendar. This month we had cheese pizza day, defy superstition day, and of course for today, talk like a pirate day. Not only did I talk like a pirate, but Dena pulled out the bandana's that she and her mother had gotten on a pirate tour of the quarter so I tied up my ponytail with the scull and cross bones bandana. I may have looked like an early 1960's pirate.

The calendar also includes Hobbit Day (which is Saturday) and some sort of second breakfast event that I found on facebook for 11:00 on Friday. So, today we also finalized our plans of who was going to bring what food to our second breakfast celebration. I'm in charge of something savory and egg-based.

Lol. Why would you... was it a slow day? Were they not finding much?

Your office sounds very fun and like a great place to work. And as for savory and egg-based my mind went right to quiche. Too obvious? Is a strata too much bread?

I have no idea why anyone would bring that back. Particularly because they were finding a lot of stuff and a lot of Colonial Era stuff at that. My best guess is that the excavation was done as a field school, so it was many of the the excavator's first time on a site. They may have just been bagging up everything either out of excitement or out of the fear of missing something important because they didn't know better.


Most of the time it is a pretty nice place to work. I'm doing spinach bars which are more or less a crustless quiche. Which should go okay with the banana bread, scones, and fruit salad that I know are coming from the others.

I've seen the Hobbit Day and Second Breakfast celebration around too :)

HOBBIT DAY. What does that mean? Amazing.

I used to love the Doublemint commercials because they always had a montage of twins lol

I actually have no idea what it really means other than a day that I get to draw a hobbit house or a guy with hairy feet on the calendar. Of course, I usually do the same thing for JRR Tolkein's birthday, but I think that is February.

I was always a little jealous of them getting to ride a tandem bike. For some reason two people on a bike always did look like "double the fun." :-)
