Chad broke our $4 bed while doing some sort of aerobatic activity. I love our bed, so it is too bad. But I also hate our bed, because it cost us $4 and a big pain in the neck, and a long time to get–so I am a little thrilled that I get to find something new. Chad took the feet off and the supports and now our mattress and box-spring are sitting on the floor with the bed frame lying around it. Now our bed isn’t dangerous to get in and out of and you can actually see the head board. I do believe Switzerland will be the bed’s final resting place.

If you have ever heard of that movie I will be truly impressed!

Elisa and I have some news. It’s a special, life-changing event. It’s not the kind of thing that you announce on a blog. It really deserves a face-to-face mention. So call us. Soon. Before you hear it from someone who already talked to us. 🙂

Elisa has been pretty sick for two straight weeks. She eats rice and toast and milk, on days when those don’t taste too strong for her. 😐 Blah–that’s all I have to say. She keeps trying to get out of doors and enjoy herself, but it is hard because of the stomach monsters rough-housing around inside her. I have to step up and eat all the chocolate.

Last week all the Google employees moved into the new building. I had already been working in the new building, on the 5th floor, which wasn’t really finished. I moved down to the 3rd floor with my team. I guess construction will now continue back on the 5th so that we have room for new employees.

The new building is a cool place. I was so bummed not to feel up for testing out the fire poles and slide which run floor to floor. It was really quite impressive. And in the new lunch room they even individually branded all their apples. That made them taste better I think. It’s a playpen for adults–that’s the best way to describe it. I also like the fact that we are no longer right underneath all the construction noise. If you look at the pictures in the article below, I work about 20 feet away from the hammock room, and about 40 feet from the igloos. (Really).
