* we are not teaching the cats to use the toilet. while it is a nice idea, it's not something i want to devote time to. although, tim is formulating a way to build a box to hide the kitty poo box...which would be an improvement from the small place all three of them share at the moment.
* tim is the best landscaper ever. we now have a yard full of tropical plants and lovely smelling climbing plants. thanks to josh and jess who gave us a heads up on the oh-so-cheap plant sale. only $15 for what home depot would have charged us $60+ for.
* tim is not the only one giving stuff to good will. i did a lot of "spring cleaning" before i moved out to california. he's been her longer and has been collecting things for a while now. and seriously...if yall saw some of the stuff we've pulled out of boxes...(star wars action figures, floppy disks, mushroom paintings).
* men do not have nipples "just in case." see here for more information.
* i hate wire hangers. i'm pretty sure i get this from my mother (i don't mean that in a bad way mom). i always grew up using plastic hangers and when wire ones came back from the dry cleaners i remember them going into the trash and being exchanged for plastic ones. plus, they are way more sturdy and don't bend as quickly when hanging heavy pants on them. granted, that's what these are for. (note to doodah: you introduced those to me when i came to see your lords center apartment for the first time. and i fell in love. and bought some.) and i have never seen mommie dearest, i swear.
* the bed no longer looks like the picture below. in fact, it got sheets and pillows today and awaits me as i type. i got the closet all organized on saturday and sunday...somehow managing to fit both my and tim's clothes (and shoes!) into it. granted, i had to sacrifice hanging a few t-shirts and allow some of my clothes to go to goodwill and i requested an additional bar to hang things on...but it happened. and it looks nice if i do say so myself.
Tim and Danielle moved into a house together on May 13th. Join us, won't you, as they discuss their trials, tribulations, and redecorating.

About me: I'm not your average 28 year old. I like to engage in highly dorky pursuits, and to date highly attractive women. (Well, just one at a time) I'd like to say I get by on my wit and charm... but we all know that just isn't true. I happily find myself in the Bay Area, where I enjoy the temperate weather, sweaters in June, and rolling landscapes. I do miss the raging thunderstorms of Central Texas, but as they drive my dog insane, its probably for the best. I hope you enjoy the inner workings of my dorkiness, feel free to comment as necessary. (Unless its about grammar, puncuation or spelling, then I don't wanna hear it!)

When girls get clothes out of the closet, they take it out while still on the hanger, hold it up in front of them in front of the mirror, decide that it is what they want to wear today, delicately take it off the hanger and put it on and place the hanger gently back on the rack.
When guys get clothes out of the closet, they jump out of bed, run by the closet door, grab the first shirt they see and pull on it until it pops* out of the closet and throw it on over their head.
*the pop is either the sound of the hangar popping free of the closet rod and shooting across the room or the sound of the hanger breaking to release the shirt
Hope that helps! -
Most of the matching kitchen accesories are going to Goodwill, the oven mit, the "painting" that was a picture of mushrooms cut out and placed among baby's breath, but I was able to hold onto a couple of paintings and the Macrame Frog (don't know if I had that then)and the planter! It was a tough fight though! Of course all of this things are destined for the laundry room.

Tim and Danielle,
Welcome to your new home....you seem to be settling in well. Two clarifications. You have not disappointed this parent one bit. How could you when you are who are?! All I wish for both of you is happiness and love, and a life filled with as little sadness and uncertainty as possible. Through prayer and seeking, you will know God's plan and timing. Besides...I can't afford a wedding right now anyway.
As for the hanger thing, I do now use the wire hangers for your brothers' clothes. They break the plastic ones. Maybe Tim can explain that one to me.
I love you, and welcome home.
Mom
