I was recently shown a website by DuskFire, who made several of the art pieces that I use on various websites, about a great search engine called TinEye which allows you to reverse search images that you’ve found in the hopes that you will find out if they’re copyrighted or free for use.

It’s been a while since I’ve dyed my hair. I dyed it Scarlet and Black, or more appropriately “Nuclear Red” and black before we went to ECT for my BILs wedding but I hadn’t re-dyed it since then. Our hair dye supply was greatly depleted as a lot of the dye bottles had reached their [...]

So, as of today I’ve been on the new living plan a week. I was feeling a bit bummed about things because I wasn’t able to do the first “Couch to 5K” work out. It overextended me because well, I’m hideously out of shape, even more so than I thought and so after last Wednesday [...]

We’ve finished a portion of the painting that we’ve been trying to do. We did this during last week. Roomie had elected a color called “Blueberry Popover” to use on her walls, and so with the way things were going we decided that we would endeavor to get her room painted before the next semester [...]

In previous years we’ve just had the table top tree which is known as “The Chibi Tree”: When we moved into our first apartment, we thought we weren’t going to get in until at least the February, but apparently the fact that I was pregnant and my husband was a police officer bumped us up [...]
