an eskimo, piano stompings, and darkness

so much has already happened this month and it is only half way done. and i am sure that i have already forgotten a lot and will remember later only to forget again. what has happened to my memory?...
first of all, they gave zach another calling in church. he is in the young men's presidency. we still have the other two callings right now as well. but there might be changes this sunday. we'll see. then we might also be asked to speak...so really, we'll see what happens. but the real story is when he went over for his first meeting with the presidency. zach said they had finished with the meeting and were all just kinda chatting and getting ready to leave when someone or all said to zach, "so zach, your wife..." to which zach replied, "is half chinese, half american." somehow he knew that was what they were going to ask. they then said "oh, cause we thought maybe eskimo." i can honestly say that is the first time i have gotten eskimo. usually it is hawaiian then indian, and to the mexicans, mexican. but never eskimo.
secondly i have pictures now taken but due to my lack of technology, i haven't found how to put them on zach's computer to put on my blog. our schedules aren't always the same, and when we are together, i prefer not to be on the computer. my laptop still works, but for some reason it is a lot slower and is always stuffed aside somewhere. so we have just been using zach's. but technically since we are married, everything is now just plain ours. hooray!
third, rei rei (and yes this is the spelling we went with and is on her name tag) peed on me in the jeep the other day. just a tiny tinkle, but she still peed on me. gross! but slightly funny. we were driving back from getting groceries or something and she climbed up in the passenger seat with me and then i felt my leg get oddly warmer. needless to say i showered as soon as we got home.
fourth: zach & i had a fabulous dinner and game night with erin & greg. erin was my one good roommate in the terrace basement. she got married & moved out and we have been trying to get a game night for over a year now. school and then work were always getting in the way. finally we set a date and were able to go. it was so much fun. we ate some amazing smoked chicken that was so tender and flavorful that i will gladly take thanksgiving with them if we were invited. we then played a game called dominion. it is tons of fun once you play the first round to get the hang of it. after that, the card game moves and you really have to stick to what you play because greg is a tricky tricky player. he won almost every round. erin won 2 i think. then i was a party pooper cause i had to go to work the next morning so we left.
fifth, my dad gave me the piano i learned to play on. he brought it down from idaho on saturday the 11th. i love it. my one neighbor hates it. every time i have practiced, i hear stomping above me. you would think maybe they could come tell me to please be quieter instead of stomping around, but whatever. they don't have a problem with rei rei when she sometimes barks or growls, but my piano playing is offensive. who knew.
and ending tonight's blog, my humorous tragedy at work today... it is ad day so i was at work at 4am. i got all the signs done by 630am. i still had other work i had to do for today so i got a snack and a soda for breakfast around 7am. well, that soda finally caught up to me around noon. i went into the women's restroom and proceeded to do my business. then next thing i knew, it was all black. the power had gone out and for some stupid reason, there are no safety lights in the restrooms at work. total black. complete darkness. i couldn't see anything. i had my cell phone in my pants pocket, and had to use it for light so i could finish my business and leave the restroom. just as i was finishing all up, the power came back on. go figure. and maybe perhaps tomorrow i will laugh at it, but for now, i am still angry that there are no safety lights in the restroom. and that concludes my tale for this blog.
