May Picture Thread

Celebrating Labour Day being mostly a lazy-ass and still being in my jammies. I'll go on a picnic later.

Your jammies have bears on them!!!

They're teddy bears and they look retarded. And I haven't worn them in a number of years I'm embarrassed to admit to. It was just too hot last night for cotton jammies so I dug these out of my closet.

They're adorable though. I don't really have jammies. I wear what I wear when I fall asleep. Tonight it'll be some nike shorts with a tank top.

Why wear jammies at all when it's warm?

Me and my boyfriend have the day off as well, and we'll be making Norwegian waffles later. Pictures to come!

EDIT_

Waffle-making!

Eating! Cheese, strawberry- and rhubarb jam.

Afterwards, we went for a walk and found this log.

Nom nom waffles!

Mmm waffles. And weird log.

Why are those particular waffles Norwegian? Is it because you made them in the land of Norwegia?

I would like to eat all of those.

Oh hey, me too. Except adidas shorts. I'm so glad we match.

The waffles look ridiculously good.

Those look delicious, Imke! And your boyfriend's tattoo is pretty awesome, too.

I chose to say Norwegian because they're not like Belgian waffles, which I'm most familiar with.

It's not done yet, but it's looking good already.

Belgian waffles are the harder type, right? Like gauffres de Liege? And these are pretty soft, I guess. Our Belgian franchise supermarket sells both types and they're great.

So, every time James ends up out of work he starts to get really bored after a while, naturally, but of course no money to go blowing he has to entertain himself somehow but how to do so with just stuff around here?

What happens is, I'll see him rummaging around for a while, then doodling in note books and on graph paper, then he disappears to the back for half a day and there will be banging and sawing and other loud man noises.

Today when I came home I heard these noises from the shed. Then he came in to help haul in the groceries, showed me the shelves he put up in the hall closet and I tried to tell him something that happened at the store but he was too busy "gotta get the job done!" unloading groceries to listen, And I got very annoyed. Very very annoyed. Go away don't even look at me talk to me annoyed. Not sure why, but I did. He followed me down to the bedroom and tried to stand there looking at the wall like he had a reason to be there other than trying to apologize but I wasn't feeling it and made him go away. Then I spent the next hour rumminating on everything awful in my life and how no one loves me least of all him, the whole deal. Meanwhile the butthead was off making noise in the shed the whole time, but at least he wasn't bothering me.

Then suddenly he the noises stop and something big is pushing through the curtain on the back door coming into the room, and he comes in with it and says, quite proudly in a sheepish there is no way you can be mad at me now voice:

"There! I made you something!"

What he made me:

I have no clue what I am gong to do with it.

Also, here are some other shelves he has made me out of wood scrapes lying around when the boredom hit in the past. (He is annoyed that I never painted or finished them and just made him hang them up) (and yes, my room is very cluttered, I like it that way. )(you guys have no idea how many of these sorts of things I've had over the years, he will probably take these down and modify them eventually too)

It looks like a frame for life.

Not to be rude, but what is it supposed to be? It looks like he started making a four poster bed and then gave up.

Awwwwww, he loves you and he's showing it.

is it a clothes rack? it looks like a clothes rack. still, that is so sweet, whatever it is.

jaz, i love that postcard (?) in your photo, with the girl on it

also, imke, i wanna see more of your bf's tattoo!

Today I went shooting for the first time ever. I was scared but I managed to blow someone's head off anyway.

Jaz, you are so badass!

Imke, I want your waffles! Nomnomnom.

There are more in the Babymoonjumper thread, but here's another one:

Thanks Sarah, I didn't feel badass.

And once again, Lucy is so beautiful.

Good shooting. Now I want to go.

Thanks. I actually got to shoot my friend's gun that he uses on the job. (He's a sheriff) I told him that his work gun made me feel dirty. He asked "Like a dirty pig?".

Were you going for a Lethal Weapon style smiley?

ha I didn't try to, it just kinda happened.

Lucy is sweet and so are you Sarah

It's okay, I wasn't completely sure either.

He was at his step moms the other day and she had an antique clothing rack she had bought at a garage sale, something you would set in the corner of the room to hang your stuff on if you didn't have a closet I guess. SO that was what was in his head.

I told him we are going to hang it from the wall, the feet of it, above our bed. And he can put some hooks or something from the ceiling at the foot of the bed to hol up the other end and then I will drape all kinds of gauzy material from it and Ta Da! He made me a canopy for our bed! I always wanted one.

But, yeah. He isn't a finish carpenter, though he is a genius at rough carpentry. Has been building up to 10,000 sq foot custom homes for the past 16 years. Was given his first to build as foreman when he was 24. His stuff he plays with around the house is just that, and mostly ever with odds and ends of scrap. That he knows the rough trade shows in the structural soundness of everything, no training in finish work though, just his imagination.

[I've put a lot of text in the picture thread haven't I?... cheers]

Better example of his skill. One of my favorite homes he was the foreman on building (he did the delicate parts as well as telling everyone else what they had to do to get it built)

So. Who needs a house built? Anyone want to hire my guy? huh? huh?

Thanks Pepper.

That house is rad.

That house is awesome pepper. James is really talented.

You should be used to that feeling.

What kind of gun is it? Aura?

I knew you were gonna say that.

Berreta 9mm 92FS

It had a laser and a flashlight on it.

I went a long way just to be able to.

I think I am supposed to make fun of him because he carries a 9mm as a duty weapon, but I'm not certain since I am not a gun nerd.

Interesting. I have a Beretta 40mm 92FS. I, however, do not have the laser or flashlight, because, again, I am not a gun nerd.

Yeah, he has a lot of guns.I guess you could call him a gun nerd. Mostly he has way more money than he knows what to do with. I couldn't tell you why he carries a 9mm because I know nothing about guns. I don't think it matters what gun you carry on duty unless you know how to shoot it, this fucker knows how to shoot. He kept apologizing cuz he thought he was making me feel bad about how well he was shooting. I didn't care, I was just trying to feel comfortable holding the damn gun.

I also shot this which is what I shot that last round(smiley face) with.

and this one

Ah, ok. Yeah, gun nerd. I think he has the Beretta as a duty weapon because it is a "Police Special" edtion. Maybe, I dunno.
I like the S&W. I regret getting the Beretta. I wanted a Glock but the gun nerd I went with to get a gun talked me into the Beretta. Actually, mine is a 40mm 96... anyway. Guns are dumb, but fun to shoot.

That's a lot of millimeters.

Which I assume is what she said because she was not used to the metric system and confused.

Also, my favorite gun is the shiny one.

I like when Jess drunk posts. She's even funnier than normal.

I literally went and got a ruler between that first and second post because 40 mm is TOO big and you should not be allowed to carry that around.

I'm still not sure I'm handling counting the right lines.

I have never known if the milimetre count refers to the diametre or the length of the bullet. If it's the diametre, then yeah, 40mm is WAY too big to carry around.

I'm an asshole who obviously is not a gun expert at all, but I have been saying it wrong. It is not a 40mm. It is .40 Caliber. .40 inch in size. I blamed having to work the midnight shift all for that.

From this distance it looks like you almost put a "j" in his face. Hahahaha.

It's just a badge.

That's like 1 cm and something. Is that the diameter?

Yes. 10.16mm = .40 caliber I believe. I'm a dummy.

Nice badge, Frank.

Gracias.

I made caramel apple pie.

Mmm that sounds delicious. Looks yummy too.
