moustache bunny

A few of Alex's coworkers have a yearly tradition of growing out their beards in the wintertime until sometime in March. They're looking pretty scruffy by then end of it, with full out beards covering their whole faces.

Alex seemed interested in doing it (although there are only two weeks left) because his coworker Kameswar has joined in this year, and Kameswar is a bad influence on Alex ^_~. He's not usually one to be wild and crazy, so to encourage his "wild side," I told him he should try it. I think it'll be cute.

I'm looking forward to the results. Today was his first day of being Moustache Bunny. He really can only grow a moustache, so I'm envisioning some really thick Luigi-like growth that can be calmly smoothed while drinking a glass of wine. Very refined.


But realistically, it'll probably end up looking more like a used car salesman. Maybe he should get a plaid suit to match.


Doesn't my bunny model look happy?

an attempt

So recently I took a day off of work and decided to learn how to knit. It's been really neat to see all these scarves come out of certain people, and it's made me have the itch to want to learn. I had some old knitting needles from when I tried to learn in college, and set out. You'd be amazed at what awesome tutorials there are nowadays on the Internet. Who needs you, $50 class, when I've got Youtube?

So I've been kinda toying with a sort of 101 in 1001 list, so here's a start:

Make/upholster a headboard
Re-upholster a chair
Finish wedding thank yous
Visit 4 Seminaries
Learn to live on one budget
Make a hat from yarn
Repaint a frame a bright color and use it for something
Learn to tile and install a green backsplash in our kitchen
Go on a road trip with Alex
Learn how to use a serger
Adopt a dog (Corgi) and teach said dog to do tricks
Finish our study (hang things on walls/organize)
Memorize Philippians
Read a few chapters from Bible Doctrine or Systematic Theology
