Eve's camera is still at Jen's house, which means we don't have a picture to upload just yet. However we wanted you to be able to at least see the video!

We're taking a break from the normal routine to treat ourselves to something a little different. BEHOLD! We began our reward for finishing the 3rd quadrant of our normal puzzle. Below is the box before it was opened and our Bailey's irish cream drinks:

Finally, for our faithful viewers, here's a quick video we put together after the puzzling had been ended recapping our evening:

December 7, 2009 - 3rd quadrant complete!
It was an epic 4-hour puzzle session, but we finished the 3rd quadrant today. This one took us 70 hours total (if you figure that we puzzled together the whole time.) You can see the moment we completed it in the post below. We videoed most of the 4-hours, but figured no one would want to watch 4 hours of puzzle.
However, for posterity, we must document a funny exchange that happened this evening.
Early on, Jen was frustrated with a piece that wasn't cooperating, so I asked Eve to take it away because "this piece has sass." It was a frustrating piece, so I found it a fitting word. Eve erupted in fits of giggles.
Later on, we both had puzzle back (a serious medical condition), and we called for a stretch. I somehow knocked a lamp over in the process (don't ask), blowing a lightbulb in the process. Eve tried to change the lightbulb, but reached in with her bare hand to touch the hot lightbulb. I called her a ninny. Hilarity enused.
Finally, I made some sort of comment about how there are "too many gaps in the puzzle these days", Eve said "You speak as though you're from another time, with the sass and the ninny and the 'too many gaps in the puzzle these days'." And we both lost it. I guess you had to be there.
So, that's it for now. We'll start Singapore once we figure out what to do with the other three, now completed quadrants.

We're to a point where taking pictures doesn't reveal our progress. In this session, we were able to finish most of the top of the puzzle with the dreaded "all one color of purple" pieces. I think we're under 200 pieces left to be placed into the puzzle. The goal: be finished with this quadrant by Christmas so Jen has her table back since she's hosting this year.
