It's my birthday! Reid says I'm having a quarter life crisis. Also he seems overly excited about the idea that I can rent a car at a cheaper rate. Wohoo.
I just finished crocheting a dinosaur for Chrissy's little boy, but I'm not posting a picture of it since I want it to be a surprise. It's actually cute! Reid was really whiney about me not letting him post a picture of it. His effort was setting up my crocheted stuffed animals in front of a white screen he created and taking photos. My effort lasted days. I will, however, post photos of the squid I crocheted! I may have gone a little off the pattern. For example, he was only supposed to have 10 legs, but he ended up with 19 :S Oops. He's actually much cuter than the original pattern was supposed to be. Good thing I'm good at screwing things up. I decided that I'm now going to classify him as a seamonster rather than a squid since anatomically he is no longer accurate. Dad helped me name him Sigmond.
As you can see his eyeballs are a bit wobbly, which is why he will not be given to Chrissy's boy for a possible choking hazard.
Alicia is here right now. Last night we dyed her hair back to a closer version of her natural hair color. She had previously bleached her hair blond which I think most people feel was not a good color on her. Now it looks better! The dye we used was that cream stuff that was not supposed to drip. It actually didn't! In fact I could mold her hair to be whatever shape I wanted. I decided she needed a shelf on the back of her head. Since it was hair dye holding her hair together I felt it would not be a good idea to test the durability of this shelf by putting items on it.
Reid's birthday present to me is that he's buying me a plane ticket to go and see Chrissy and the baby when the baby exists in a world outside of Chrissy! Reid won't be able to go since he is teaching that quarter. Now I have things to look forward to again. Yay.
