I got back from lunch today to see this in my Pidgin window:
Ryan: The mayo in the fridge I put on my sandwich
Ryan: had an expiration date of 10/18/09
Ryan: so I believe that is a sign
Ryan: that our honeymoon will be
Ryan: like mayonnaise
… and I giggled.
Sewing Projects
For those of you who might not know, I inherited a sewing machine, mounted in a cabinet, from my grandmother. Mom had the manual; stuck between two pages was the receipt for its purchase by my grandparents in 1976.
It’s been idle for years.
So, with Mom’s help, I’ve learned how to thread it, change the tension, wind bobbins, and get into general mischief with it. I purchased a copy of Sew Everything Workshop, and have completed several of the projects in it (with a couple of monumental failures, but I’m pretending those never happened). I’ve sewn a few things just for fun, but lately it’s been turning into a passion. In roughly three evenings of sewing over the last two weeks, I have completed several projects that I deem noteworthy. Read on to find out if you agree!

Adorable Octopus
I made this by following the vectortuts+ tutorial, Create a Super Happy Octopus Character, in order to make myself start learning Illustrator.
I’m posting it, in all of its unoriginal yet unbelievably cute glory, because I’m cranky and it cheers me up. Look how happy he is!
Hey, Ryan and I bought a house yesterday! Pics soon, maybe, if I feel like it.
10 Reasons Why Dieting Sucks
Ryan and I have been trying to lose a little weight – not to cave into the “You’re engaged! You have to lose weight!!” idea that pervades my Facebook ads, but to be in better health overall – and so we temporarily suspended our vegetarianism (which we love) for Atkins (which frankly, we hate). I had lost quite a bit of weight on Atkins when I graduated college six years ago, so we figured it was worth a try. We have already lost weight, but that is without a doubt the only good part of this ordeal. Read on for 10 reasons why dieting sucks.
