Stuff and other stuff.

Oscar, our black and white kitten who almost died when we brought him home, has gotten lots bigger. He is almost the same size as Kiwi, and they adore each other. He sneezes constantly though, so I think he has allergies. But I haven't seen any sores or anything on him, I'm not going to worry.

We've undergone a project where we are mosaic-ing for the first time and we decided on our coffee table and end table as the first subjects. The coffee table is almost done and I took pics every step of the way. It looks awesome.

The government has blessed us! In addition to the extra $25 a week on unemployment, we each get back more than we thought we would for our tax returns. This is exciting because now we can pay off 3 of our 4 credit cards. Hahah... It's such a good feeling.

I went to the dollar store today and picked up a bunch of blank cards and decided I would write my granny on a more regular basis. I really want to go visit her this summer. Maybe late spring.

I don't know if my dad will want to come or if I should go with the fiance? Hmm.

Speaking of fiance, we are looking to get married soon. Much to his parents' dismay (and my parents' pleasure) he will be taking my last name. There are 11,900 people in the US with his name and when you are a budding concept artist, you want to get noticed. There are only 300 people in the US with his first name and my last.

There's less than 100 of me, and like 15,000 if I take his name.... Easy choice!

I researched it and it doesn't cost much to get the license. The biggest thing is some stupid exam I have to take. Yeah, it's totally dumb because it's a test only WOMEN have to take. Maybe it's a "Are you fertile" test they had in Ye Olde Times. Maybe it's to see if we would have freakish octopus babies? Maybe it's to say whether or not we are carriers of some horrid disease.

Dunno. But then of course, the rings. And since we are just starting out, we will do it in Ye Olde Poor fashion and buy cheap rings and upgrade later.

My friend is having a birthday this week and she asked me to make her a cake (haha which she didn't have to because I make EVERYone cakes for their birthdays.)

She wants an ice cream cake (She's from Alaska so cold is good?) so this is going to be an experience. I made a boob cake for a friend and now I am going to make a penis cake.... because she wants one. Time to look up ice cream cake recipes, but I already have something in mind. With lots and lots of chocolatey-peanut buttery goodness.


I'm going to write my granny now. Take care, internet
