A Very Hairy Post

DH found this guy hanging out in his bedroom one night.  Instead of killing it, he captured it and left it for me to find the next morning.  For the sake of scale, this is a regular pint Mason jar.  It's freaking huge.  He lived quite happily in there without air holes or food for several days.  Until I decided he'd lived long enough.

Just look at those mandibles!

I finally convinced DH that he was fully capable of shaving my hair without messing it up.  He usually cuts my hair, so I found it kind of funny that he was worried about messing it up.  He almost sent me to a salon instead of doing it himself.  Silly man.  It went just fine.  It seems that I might be a bit less blonde in the back now.

Before:  see all those tempting hairs for TerraDactyl to rip out??

Some people have an angel or devil on their shoulder.  I have a Welsh Terrier.

I can fit into some of my non-elastic waist pre-baby pants!  Well, I've only tried one pair of shorts.  But the weather's cooling off, so I'll probably be trying to see if I can wear my jeans pretty soon here.  When we were on our walk DH pointed out just how well I coordinated my outfit to our stroller.

Accessorizing properly is very important

And of course, we need some pictures of the actual baby!

    Oh. My. Lawd! That spider is so scary! I'm seriously getting the creepy crawlies just thinking of finding that, and I'm the spider hunter of our family.

    That last picture of TD looks like a portrait of a tortured artist :)

Honey, Where are my pants?

The other day, DH and I were getting ready to leave the house and DH asked me to run downstairs to grab his wallet.  Sure thing, no problem.  I spent 10 minutes looking for his wallet before giving up.  DH looked downstairs for his wallet while I looked upstairs and in the car.  DH looked upstairs and in the car.  We finally gave up and left.  I had to drive instead of DH.  We spent a whole day thinking DH's wallet was missing.  Since he hadn't left the house in a week, we figured he lost it the last time he did leave.  When we finally got back to the house DH found this gadget  that links to your phone.  When you lose your wallet, you phone pings the card and it makes a noise so you can find the wallet.  Apparently, DH isn't the only one to have this problem.  ;)  Oh, and we found his wallet.  Phew!  It was in the pocket of his pants in the laundry basket.  Which we BOTH checked, multiple times.  Turns out, sometimes having a plethora of pockets in a pair of pants is a bad

Furniture Galore!

Well, DH and I have finally passed the last milestone to official adulthood.  It's not having a baby - lots of people choose not to or can't have kids.  It's not buying a house - people in big cities often can't buy houses because big cities are insane (a completely unbiased fact).  And it has nothing to do with age.  Nope.  The last milestone to adult hood is:  buying non-IKEA furniture.  DH and I are big proponents of hand-me-downs.  And we've got by pretty well so far, thanks to our generous family and friends.  But we did need a new bed, and I fell in love with one, so we ended up paying retail for it.  It was on sale, at least.  And it's really cool. My log cabin quilt on my log bed Oh, did I forget to mention I bought a whole bedroom set?  Yeesh.  I don't usually care about things matching.  And I'm usually not a big spender, so I don't want to buy all the matching things.  But this was just too cool.  And the set was on sale!  I l

Summer Camp

  Tomorrow TerraDactyl will be starting her first day of summer camp.  It's twice a week for 3 hours each day.  The class is super small (5 kids) and they're all 3 or 4 years old.  It's only for the month of July.  Hopefully, she'll like it.  It's a nut-free building, so I was struggling to find filling snacks for TerraDactyl to bring with her.  I ended up finding these snack cups of olives and pouches of pickles.  I was so excited about my find.  And you know what DH had to say?  "Olives and pickles for snacks?  What are you trying to get TerraDactyl bullied?"  :P  (I'm still packing the olives for her). TerraDactyl really does like olives though.  She seems to kind of like the pickles, but the olives pretty much always get cleaned off her plate.  I'd also like to point out that neither DH nor I taught her to shove the olives onto her fingers.  She just started doing that one day.  Maybe it's innate...  I think TerraDactyl told her first ridd
