I'm okay with rolling in the dough with my baking and photography skills.

Why so naked? You look nice though. I like your shirt/vest/tie.

Why so naked?
Because he's not.
Zing! XD
Alecia, that dishwasher is nice. Whirlpool! Never seen the utensil holder on the door, but then it's been a while since shopping for major kitchen appliances.
Those counters are sweet, too.
I am jealous of the dishwasher.
Let me rephrase that, the dishwasher spends its time doing nothing but dishes everyday, as it seems do I.
I am not jealous of the dishwasher, I am jealous of Alecia for having the dishwasher.
Kukla, Fran, and Ollie!
Tuffy the Dump Truck may rarely increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke. The risk may be greater if you have heart disease or increased risk for heart disease (for example, due to smoking, family history of heart disease, or conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes), or with longer use. Tuffy should not be taken right before or after heart bypass surgery. Also, Tuffy may infrequently cause serious (rarely fatal) bleeding from the stomach or intestines. This effect can occur without warning symptoms at any time while taking Tuffy. Older adults may be at higher risk for this effect. (See also Precautions and Drug Interactions sections.) Stop taking Tuffy and get medical help right away if you notice any of the following rare but serious side effects: bloody or black/tarry stools, persistent stomach/abdominal pain, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, chest/jaw/left arm pain, shortness of breath, unusual sweating, weakness on one side of the body, sudden vision changes, slurred speech. Ask your doctor if Tuffy is right for you.
People tell Noah this a lot. He can't hear it enough.
You can see the reflection of my pajama pants and houseshoes. The only thing missing would be pink sponge rollers in my hair.


this is a fine looking dishwasher. i especially like the little baskets in the door. we are about to replace ours too, i just haven´t had the drive to look for one yet.

The lines in your face make it look like your forehead has a sweet mustache.

Look what I got from dear Sema!
I'm a reindeer

I'm Santa

with pilgrim shoes

They're exactly my size, well done!
A book of haikus and my first graphic novel EVER

And on my way home I bought these lovelies

Freesias are among my favourite flowers, but we don't have normal vases in the house. Every time I tell mum to buy some from Ikea, she says we don't need them, and then when we do get flowers we have to stick them in olive oil bottles. Horrible. I bought them like this on purpose, so they could bloom here and last longer.
Irina, you could go and buy vases yourself?
I like Sema's gifts!
I could, but not from Ikea. Ikea is on outside Bucharest, on the opposite side, near one of the airports. I don't drive so I need somewhere closer, but you're right, I think I'll buy myself a couple of tall vases soon.
Who doesn't like saying the word, freesia? Such a pretty name for a pretty flower.
That vase is cute, but I love the curtains best.
You are the best sock model EVER!
In Romanian it's spelled frezie and it's pronounced like freh-zee-eh. Lovely flower with a lovely name. We also call lily-of-the-valley 'little tear', but no one beats the Portuguese who call wild pansies 'perfect loves'.
oh man, that second picture is just so joyous 
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEdies

I really love that second pic so much. I remember that it made my day when you posted it on fb. I think I was busy at work all day and had scrolled through it from my phone so I never commented.
Lucy never looks like a not-happy child. That's Sarah being a good momma right there. The way I picture Strawberry Baby in my head is with that huge grin/smile when she's sitting on top of the clothes in that picture on Facebook. Always happy, always laughing.
ohhhh. I love that second one.
Meowie and Lucy hanging out! Haha, I love it.
The second picture as the cutest postcard! Both adorable pics.
more pictures soon, but in the meantime, I got this really cute headscarf today and recently learned a turban knot.

“if you want to be a bird,” you said once, “with colorful plumage and buoyant trills, you must also be ready for hollow bones."
You got an adorable face too.
She gets to come to work with me. Every time. We are loving work, and getting along with boss and her fam. Good times.

she has a very nice smile.
hee hee she's so cute, Sema!
Thanks Barbara and Irina! And very sharp teeth as well. Luckily, she quickly phased out of biting.
Pictures from my crit on monday of my bench that I just finished. I have some process pics I may post after I finish with finals.



Wow, Nick. That's very cool.
It is ! Is that massive wood?
That's amazing! It looks like it belongs in Beetlejuice.
You're so creative, Nick!
Amber, does Gabriel know you posted a picture of him here? 
Had a sick day yesterday, so I made breakfast for myself.

That's gotta be over 1,000 calories! Only way to inject more would be to make it out of Goober Grape.
Oh Pete , you spoilsport!!!
It looks delicious.
I just inputted that in (from eyeballing the amounts) into Calorieking.com
We're looking at 1,644 calories. Most of them are from peanut butter (about 1,100).
It does look delicious though.
One of my favorite cheat snacks though is this:
Triple-decker Grilled Cheese Sandwhich
- 3 slices of bread
- 2 slices of cheese in between each slice of bread (4 total)
- butter the outside
- cook in a George Foreman Grill until the sandwich is smooshed and super crispy
That table is seriously cool. Neat color choice, Nick. I'm wondering what's the inspiration for that shape. It's defiantly a great hybrid of art and function.
pepper, it looks like your son is trying to mack on some girl, in that picture.
Pssst, it's a bench.
I'd buy that bench. If i needed one.
Right Imke. Why did I say table? I meant bench. Sometime I mix my kid's names up. And I named them. Stupid!
Gabriel does not know I posted a picture of him here. It is so interesting to watch them start to turn into adults, in body and mind.
He isn't into chasing lots of girls around right now, and he tends to be rather quiet. There is one girl he likes, but he seems almost more interested in analyzing her than pursuing her in anyway.




Blast from the past!


And Noah, when are we getting married already? We can always Skype our vows. Haha
I like earrings like that, but I love plugs more.
I'm being a stay at home dad
As your attorney, my advise to you is to start drinking heavily(er).-Tuffy
