First Summer Project

What does it take (if you were me) to install an instant-hot tap in your kitchen sink?

• 1 Instant Hot Water Dispenser 
• 1 pair locking pliers 
• 1 cordless drill
• 2 trips to Ace Hardware 
• Lots of little brass doo-hickeys and a length of water hose 
• 1 broken nail 
• 1 small knock on the head 
• 1 very helpful call to Dad 

 YAY!
 
Now let's see how long it takes Ryan to notice it once he gets home tomorrow night!

Bee Tree

We are enjoying seeing what happens around our house this spring. We met our house only this last fall, so all this is new to us! Yesterday we noticed that we have a particularly noisy, lively tree in our side yard. Turn up your speaker and push play:




Wild, huh?! There had to be at least 200 bees in that tree!
Does anyone know what kind of tree this is, btw?

New Shoes!

Ugh! This was not a good week for me to get sick. I am SO behind on my homework. I even skipped Spanish class on Friday, opting to stay in bed and nap instead. That is unusual for me, in case you weren't sure. That is only the second Spanish class I've missed all semester.

Thankfully, I felt a little more energetic today, even though my sinuses are still clogged up and painful. So I decided to spend the day in my greenroom working on my 2d final: two self-portraits in the style of two contemporary artists. I dug out all my paints and got to work. The following is how I spent my time...

Why do I do that to myself? When will I stop? Who knows. Probably never.

And here's a side project I did to amuse myself.

No, I don't know what I'm going to do with them.

Buggy

This is kind of tripping me out. I woke up to find this little guy running around my computer...


He keeps showing up, so I am hopeful that he hasn't found/doesn't have access to more "exciting" parts of my Mac. But I'm backing up my data just for good measure!
