Stretching my domestic muscles

Well, I've not been nearly as productive as Billy. (And it is well worth the click to their Picasa album, if you haven't already looked at their pictures.)

Here is a post on my personal blog, chronicling my attempts to follow in my SIL's footsteps, who just happens to be a domestic goddess.

Did I ever tell you about how my Dad told me that I had to start being more domestic? I was 15-16 at the time, and you can imagine the reaction that comment provoked.




PS
Feel free, if you have a personal blog, to link to it from here. No need to write twice. We are no longer in school, so I think all busy work should be behind us, don't you?

I'm unemployed and got lots of fancy new hobbies

That's right. I got hobbies, yes I do, I got hobbies, how bout you?! First on the list, gardening. I planted a Peonie yesterday. Yes, it's a flower.















Next, road trips. Scott Seline, (as in Celine Dion) went to Texas and what did we do? That's right, we hit up a Dallas City Council meeting. Then we went urban birding in some of the local parks. We went to CDM thrift store, thanksgiving square, and even saw a sweet racing car. In the end we were paid $80 for transporting somebody's stuff back to Provo. I found a card on the ride board offering money to bring bikes and picture frames back, but they didn't tell us we had to bring back dried wedding roses. Ridiculous!! We smashed em' up pretty good, but they were still happy to have them. Here's our urban birding video. If you want to see our Texas photos, click here.
