Washing Dishes

So this is our dishwasher. It is now however, our house. The pictures are from the people who sold it to us. We knew we had to move and we had to do it fast, so we didn't care that this new place didn't have a dishwasher. We figured we'd either wash dishes or use this handy thing. Well...its not so handy. It takes up SO much counter space and is technically only a 4 place setting thing. And it leaves everything soapy!

So I think I've decided that I'm just going to wash all my dishes now. It seems to work just fine for Jonathan, but not for me. Maybe I'll put him on dish duty!

We finally got all of our pictures up in the house. Now all we need to do is get the 3rd bedroom cleaned out. It has become our storage space. Which is just fine except for the fact that when we move out it'll be awful trying to go through it.

Right now I really wish I had my piano. My fingers are itching to play.

Mom and Tom are coming Thursday! 2 days till they come and 2 days till my birthday! Yay!

New Layout

Well it's been quite the experience trying to get this blog to look the way I want it to. And I'm still not sure I'm completely happy with it.

J will be happy to know that I tweaked the code on my own. I didn't just do a bunch of copy paste. He's always trying to get me to code.

I am so sick of the weather here. There's like 50 degree winds today. Not fun. And tomorrow is only a high of 49 with a chance of rain, and get this....SNOW! I am so not excited. I've been checking the 10 day weather forecast everyday to see if it would all let up for my birthday and this is what it says:

We'll just do my birthday week.

Monday-High of 74. Mostly sunny. 20% chance of precipitation.
Tuesday-High of 74. Sunny 0% chance of precipitation.
Wednesday- High of 73. Mostly sunny. 10% chance of precipitation.

And the big day?
High of dang 64. Partly cloudy. And at least a 0% chance of precipitation.

This is not what I signed up for when I moved to Idaho!!! At least I won't be roasting in California. I just wish that nice weather could stay for just one day longer. Oh well.

So the other day I was having fun wrestling with Milton and decided to take a few pictures. He decided to yawn in one of them. I swear he's not scary. He's actually quite the weenie. When Chloe hears something outside she barks her head off. I don't think she has any idea that if there were something really out there it would rip her to shreds. Milton on the other hand, whines and runs into my lap when he hears something "scary". That's why road trips with him suck. He sits on my lap the entire time because he thinks the acceleration of the car is a scary scary man that is growling at him. What a pansy ;)

Oh

Oh, and I paid $3.98 in gas today. I don't even want to know what it is in California right now. Ick.

Busy

So, like it says...I've been busy lately.

On Thursday I sang at a NATS recital. Boss (Sister Bossard) asked me to sing on Wednesday. I don't typically give up a chance to sing so I took it. I was just kind of lame because I sang the same thing I sang at my last NATS recital last year. Oh well. I thought ahead so that Mom and everyone could see and had J record it. So here it is.



Also, I've been making jewelry like mad. I actually sold a necklace and some earrings the other day! I shipped them off today. I'm so excited. I think I made something like $22 off the deal after shipping and materials and stuff. I'm really enjoying it all.

What I'm not enjoying are midterms. YUCK! I have a couple coming up this week and a project. I really should be studying instead of making jewelry but I can't help myself!

Oh! Also! We sold our apartment contract today! YAY! So hopefully it all works out and we only will have paid double rent one month instead of 3. It still stinks but we'll live.

Etsy!

Summer is starting to look up because I have a new hobby! I've started beading again, but this time....the stuff is decent!

I've decided that its worth spending the money on cause I'm going to try and sell some of it online. The other stuff will be given as birthday and Christmas presents.

But go look at my shop if you want!

I'm seriously having so much fun with it. If only I had this much motivation when it came to homework!

No me gusta espanol esta noche

I am so sick of Spanish homework. I have these lab manual and workbook things due just about every week. Instead of doing a couple pages a night I save it all for the night before! Someone smack me! I have a test and oral tomorrow too. Those shouldn't go too badly though.

I'm getting pretty sick of Rexburg weather. Its been raining all day and isn't supposed to get any better tomorrow. The best weather day we've had recently has only been in the low 70s. Get me out of here!

Chloe goes in to get spayed tomorrow. Oh and she's getting a tooth pulled too. Poor baby. Tomorrow will probably be a good excuse to take pictures of her though. She'll be so mellow she'll let me.

And since I haven't posted any pictures for awhile I suppose I can find one so that you all remember what we look like.

This is usually how Milton looks. He always has a sock. We take them from him but he always seems to find another. He probably takes them off my feet in the night and hides them for later use. He's pretty sneaky.

Forget us. The dogs are much cuter. Here's Chloe looking rather calm. I think she was getting sick of being man-handled. How would you like it if someone was sticking their head (which could be 2 times bigger than your body!) in your face all the time?

New Place

Cougar Court decided not to allow pets anymore so we had to move. We had until our contract was up in July, but we had to find somewhere sooner than that. So we moved the middle of April to a 3 bedroom apartment above a garage of a house in Sugar City. We really like it here. Its so much bigger than our other place, and we have a washer and dryer! That's my new favorite thing. I'm not liking so much that we don't have a dishwasher or garbage disposal though. Or no cable.

I'm combating the no cable by having Netflix. I won J over with the idea when I let him in on the fact that he could be watching tv shows. So now we're watching X-Files and Star Trek. I get a new dvd and watch it and put it back in the mail the same day. I get so bored that I can only watch movies!

The dogs adjusted really quickly to the place, they just don't like the fact that our screen door never stays shut. It swings in the wind so they bark at it a lot. The whole thing probably annoys me more than it annoys them.

Other than that, J and I are back in school (yuck!). I'm taking almost a full load-I had a full load till I discovered that my religion class was going to be awful and booked it. So now I'm at like 10 credits. That's ok though. I'm just trying to get caught up with J so that we can graduate at the same time. Or at least close. J is mostly working this semester. He's taking 2 classes but that's about it.

So yeah...we're alive here in Rexburg. Actually, Sugar City. Its kind of depressing. Hopefully we'll have some events going on soon so that I can have some pictures to post!
