PI DAY!!!!

Not to make you jealous…

But had a total of 13 Pies last night!!

SUGAR OVERLOAD!!!

After baking pies all day I was barely able to restrain myself from digging my hands into one and eating it with abandon. Pippa could hardly wait either…

But it was worth the wait. The pies in attendance were:

THANKS PINTEREST…

YOU TERRIBLE, WONDERFUL, ALL-CONSUMING WEBSITE.

You’re taking over my life.

But that’s okay.

RECENT PROJECTS:

Our TV needed a new place to sit on besides our old target bookshelf.

So we got this for free from someone who didn’t want it:

Primed it:

And painted it green!

(Yah, the Valentines’ Day hearts are still up. They are so cute, though, I didn’t have the HEART to take them down. *Chuckles*)

Meanwhile in the culinary world, we were faced with a certain Pizza Friday with a desire to try something new:

Looks pretty good huh?

THE CRUST IS MADE FROM CAULIFLOWER!

It was pretty tasty. Did not taste much like cauliflower at all.

(Can you guess which side is Micah’s and which one is mine?)

Finally, another tasty dish:

Cheddar broccoli soup in a sourdough bowl! It was so delicious!

 

So if you’re not on Pinterest yet, well, we can’t be friends.

Just kidding.

You’re just boring.

Or a guy.

Just some stuff

So ya’ll don’t get bored on here…

 

I tried to keep that poem up as long as possible to scare away the shallow thinkers.

 

But now for the sugar.

 

Out on the town.

We got tired of taking out all the toys out of the toy box, so we just put Pippa in the toy box (the lid is not heavy, lest ye out there be worryers):

By the way, Micah is a FREAKIN GENIOUS when it comes to making meat. It’s ridiculous. Like, EXTREMEMLY GOOD MEAT.

Pippa tried to steal some.

Everything I know in a poem.

By me.

Just in case you forgot how weird I am…

A dithery
A dothery
A mithery
A mothery
A Tye-dye tiddly wink.
A jab
A doodle
A kit and caboodle
A finite twiddle and a clink.
Of space and time
Of a riddle and a rhyme
Of a moment that is gone

in a blink.

I scribble on the pages
and the rhythm frowns, contagious
It becomes a work in stages
for a fool.
For a leap on a tree
is worth more than three
And a wonder of a wonder
is a jewel.

 

To be submitted to the worlds worst poetry collection

A new camera, and the Zoo

We got a new camera. It’s been fun. So naturally I need to upload some pictures. Pippa and I went to the zoo today with some friends.
