random catch up blog

you were missing the random catch up blogs, huh? hopefully this will fill the ticket! ;)
i present a list, in no particular order, of stuff we've done lately that i happen to remember and anything else i feel like writing about.

• the columbia river gorge
  it looked like this a couple weeks ago:
• the student:
  once again, he's taking anatomy&physiology and chemistry. his schedule this term has him in anatomy lab until 12am on tuesday nights, playing with brains. as if anatomy lab wasn't creepy enough in the daytime.
• happy valentine's day!
  joel studied hormones (ironic, huh?), and i painted the bathroom. we're such hopeless romantics (and i do mean hopeless).
• welcome to ikea. resistance is futile.
  we caved in. in january, we went to ikea and bought furniture. from ikea. i feel assimilated into the hopeless wormhole of decor trendiness (but functionally cute).
• me, domestic
  i'm cooking good food without exploding things. i'm keeping the house cleaner than ever before. i'm cutting people's hair. i actually care about the arrangement of my furniture for the first time in my life. something kicked in at my 22nd birthday, and it's weirding me out. i think i need to go make a mess or do something impractical - i'm scaring myself.
