Kittens

I usually save kitten pictures for sageandginger.blogspot.com, but today I wanted to add a little post here. They are getting so huge. I forgot how fast kittens grow. 

Where I Grew Up

It's nothing special, but it was home for 20 years. It feels weird to call it "My Parents' House." Shea and I visited for an impromptu cookout.

My window used to be the top right.

The shed my dad built

My dad's method of hot dog roasting involves a chainsaw.

Things that are Awesome

I'm feeling happy today, and I want to share some stuff that makes me happier.

The first is one of the gifts I got Shea for Christmas.

ThinkGeek :: DIY Music Box Kit

It comes with a few strips of music paper and a whole punch so you can play your own music! I punched out a song I wrote for Shea a year ago (Shea's Theme- for reference, see here )

It really wasn't hard and came with an instruction booklet. I think that as long as you can get a hold of the sheet music for the song you want, you can punch it without any musical background.

Here it is in action:

Something else that is

awesome:

Ear warmers with headphones!

I bought a pair today, because it's really cold in Rochester, and I really like music! My ears are always the first things to go numb outside, and I am always sad that I have no desire to stick cold plastic headphones in them to enjoy music.

Next...

RORUS! It's what Rory gave Shea for valentines day, completely outdoing me :-/

Here is a cool thing for people in dorms that would rather their dorms didn't smell like dorms:

Scent Bugs

You can put fragrance oil in them and press a button and a little fan comes on that makes the room smell nice. I went with pineapple mango.

Something that I love for its beauty and

geekiness:

I bought a pair of these and turned them into friendship necklaces for Shea and I (only we got G and C because the bond more strongly than U and A).

Something that I love and use every morning:

Something that I want to fill my future apartment with:

I love pottery. I really wish I had time to learn to make my own. I especially like chocolate and navy glazes.

I may post more awesome things in the future, but I'm out of ideas for today.
