Mexican Jumping Beans

-

Two coworkers picked up several little containers of Mexican Jumping Beans. It's an experiment. I heard they only last a few days.

Here is all we need to know about these little guys


Day 1:
Its creepy. After reading the above link, I know they are larva trying to stay cool and eventually they "may" break free as a moth.
Several people have them at their desk. Since the are jumping around in a little plastic box, its a little clicking noise you hear.
Alllll day.I thought I was the last one here last night and noticed that the clicking of the jumping beans sounded like others typing but when my colleague Pat stood up, he shocked me and wasn't a Mexican Jumping Bean!

Day 2. Still alive. Named my 5 after some of my colleagues. The clicking sound is still annoying. Now some of those 5 colleagues have come by to check out their bean.

Day 3. Still alive. The clicking sound is still annoying. We are too slammed at work to care or notice anything else about them.

Day 4. Still alive. The clicking sound is still annoying but seems to be fadin
g. My colleague read some where that they need moisture soooo right now someone collected our beans and is soaking them. They are discoloring the water. They are still moving around. I'm glad we named them.

Note: Just heard that one of our soon-to-be mom's in the office had her's just sitting on her desk instead of in the plastic box they came in and one rolled on to the floor and another went missing.

Its been a while since I posted here. May was an insanely busy but AMAZING. There was the Highline High School fundraiser dinner.

It was fun, I won a bottle of nice wine and 3 of us bid on the "Taste of Highline dinner" where several moms and staff would make meals passed down from their families. We were able to invite up to 10 friends. There was Italian, Somalian, Soul, Mexican, and Hawaiian. There may have been another but I forget. It was sooooo yummy and was hosted at a house that was on Lake Burien. They told us there may be a boat involved. The boat turned out to be a battery operated dock that quietly moved in the water. That was a riot. It was a beautiful evening with stories of the meals with some of my favorite seattle friends. The weather had finally taken a turn for the nicer so for my friend Sar...

Summer came and went

Where did the summer go and what did I do. SOOOOO much. It was a great summer. I only ended up camping once but it was a good one. I went to PARIS! Which was gorgeous, romantic, rich in foods and simply breathtaking.  I wish I had time to post highlights of my summer but I can only suggest to check out all my photos since May on Flickr. It was a good summer in Seattle.
