had an itch

I hope by this point that Tim doesn't feel embarrassed for doing this, because I think it is HILARIOUS and just had to share.

Yesterday Tim was reading and had an itch on his arm. He scratched his arm with his pen but did not realize the pen was not clicked off (an honest mistake—those little clicky pens can be deceiving). The picture depicts the result. (Poor Tim, he looks so ashamed!) The best part was when he called me to come into the room and he confessed all. (I wish you could have been there.)

After laughing hysterically, I pulled out my camera to document it. Suspecting I would put it on my blog, he protested, saying it was embarrassing because he was actually conscious for "this one," as opposed to the other funny, random, and amazing stuff, which happens when he's only semi-conscious (and which you don't know the half of, unfortunately). On that note, can I just say that I love early mornings with Tim? I'm usually somewhat grumpy and he is the most hilarious human alive.

I love him because he let me post this.

We're moved in!

We had to get a dresser, which we ordered online, so it took a while for us to get actually moved in, but I think we're finally there!

Winnebago, Schminnebago

I have decided that instead of this, THIS would be so much better. Like IKEA meets Winnebago. Or something.

Hair Cut #2

For everyone who remembers this fiasco, Amanda cut my hair this past weekend and it looks really good! She has come so far!

I'll see about getting some picture to post.

some before and after

So these are some pictures of our new apartment. They are really terrible pictures, but I will make do. I forgot to get pictures after we painted before we started moving stuff, so that explains the bulk of the issues. I am not the best photographer, either, especially when it comes to interiors. Also, I used Photobucket for the first time to upload these and they cropped weird, so if you want to see the whole picture, click on it. (Anyone know how to fix that?)

We painted in the bedroom and in the living room over the wood paneling. We are probably going to do the bathroom at some point, too, just not sure when. It was my first time painting and it's pretty fun, I guess. Takes longer than you think. The colors did not turn out how we thought they would. But we think it looks decent and will work. Plus we are just renting. :)

I just started composing a post to share Tim's graduation announcement and the fun I had making it, but then realized I had already posted about that. Oops.

Gradjeeating

I made this graduation announcement for Tim. It was fun. Tim bought me InDesign for my birthday last year, and I'm sad to say that I haven't really used it a whole lot. But I'm using it now for this!

We're making the most of his graduation, what with this announcement (fancy). And he's going to be walking, obviously. I didn't do those things when I finished school over a year ago . . . weird. My graduation wasn't a marked event: I just received my diploma in the mail one day, and when I did, it was surreal because there was absolutely no pomp and circumstance. Maybe it's nice to walk so you actually feel like you have graduated. I kept fearing that I hadn't until I got my diploma, which took its time coming, and even when it came, the resolution was anticlimactic.

This won't be the actual picture. We'll have to take a good one soon so we can send these out to a few folks!
