some pictures and an update
I am painting the back of a pretty inexpensive violin. And it is turning out to be AWESOMES. It is of a Peacock, and you should check it out.

We got a love seat, upon which I am currently sitting. It is cushy, squishy, a soft suede-like material, and made of win. You know what's made of even more win? My wife found it at Salvation Army for less than $200.00. Its one quirk is that the two cushions dip down in the middle, forcing you to cuddle with the person you're sitting with. I hardly see this as a problem though, as I am on good terms with all of my friends and will be sitting with my wife most of the time anyway.
XD
Also, I have been sick . All weekend. One of my coworkers (that's co worker, not cow orker) came to work sick on Thursday, stayed home Friday (her day off), and came back Saturday ... still sick. Guess how I felt Saturday evening? And Sunday. And Monday (my day off! Bummer!). And today. I have a summer Cold, and I am none too amused.
Also, we got a cat! The bird could not stay with us. I was very sad to see him go back to his previous owner, but it was not meant to be. Merry hated being without an animal, so I did some research on pet rescues in the area. Did you know that the SPCA wants over $100.00 to re-home a pet? It includes vaccinations, spay/neutering and a free vet visit, but honestly. That's a bit much for us. So I looked at the City of Dallas animal services and found that they offer the same exact features, plus registering the animal with the city - for $62.00. That's it. Plus a bag of the food the cat has been eating, and Micro-chipping.
I refused to tell Merry where we were going that weekend. When we got close to the first stop, I made her close her eyes. Being familiar enough with Dallas, she knew which shopping center we were going to (*facepalm*), but didn't know which shop. I dragged her into the pet store and walked to the kitty-aisle. I pointed to the collar display and told her, "Pick one!" She looked at me in disbelief, and then proceeded to *SQUEE*. After we picked out the bare essentials (we're poor folk, after all), we went to the Animal Shelter.
And so it was that we found Mr. Finnegan (he goes by his first name, Poe). Merry picked him out, and let me tell you, he's hell on wheels. He's made of bite-y, cuddly, playful, scratchy goodness. And we loves him.

That is all.
