Cats and Dogs!!!







I'm not really a big animal lover, except when it's baby animals. The cats are Kurt's and the dogs are Kyle's mom's. They are both trying to find homes for all of them. I would take one but I hate hair and we're not allowed to have pets of any kind. But I'm actually kind of glad we have that excuse, because I think they're cute to play with but I have no desire to clean up pee poop puke or hair. The dog that Kyle is playing with has one blue eye and one brown, which makes him the cutest, but also disqualifies him from being a show dog. So if we were to take a dog, that would be the one. And his name is Star! How perfect!

How to get to know your neighbor.


Last night we looked at Pianos and then we bought this one this morning and they delivered it promptly. There were two delivery men who stood around a lot perplexed by our staircase. They finally said it couldn't be done, but that was not acceptable. I asked if they could just lift it over the railing and he said maybe if there were like five more guys, so I started knocking on every door in every building around us, even though I've only met two of them. I ended up rounding up four other guys and then Kyle got home. The delivery guys were coming up with this intense plan involving the truck and ramps, etc., but then the three hispanic guys I found just started heaving it up the stairs, quite the initiative. So they got it half way up, had to slide it up the upper railing and then rotate it onto the ground. After much grunting it was in front of our door, and then the delivery guy once again said, it's not going to work. I started to panic a little, but once again the hispanic guys paid no heed and got it in! They were so great. I'm gonna make them cookies. If it wasn't for them I don't think it would have made its way in. This is by far the greatest thing I have ever purchased! I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! By the way, I have openings for piano students--so give out my name and number!

Emo


I saw this guy online and I had to make it for Jessica. The pattern was pricey so with Kyle's encouragement I tried to figure out how to make it on my own and it was a huge success! I love it. My next creation I'll embark on without a pattern is going to be Dr. Zoidberg from Futurama.
