Nix is a 30 something princess trying to survive in this crazy world. Come along for the ride!
This is my blog. It's mostly used to post my photos, but there's also the occasional cooking adventure (usually paired with photos), as well as the occasional post on my opinion of something controversial. I've got an awesome boyfriend husband!! and too many pets and wonderful friends. We just bought our first house and will be unpacking boxes for the rest of our lives. It's fun in my world.

One of the last things we needed to do for the dog was to get him a fence. Yesterday, we got his fence! There are also a ton of him playing fetch.

As a tradition, we usually go to a game at Ripken Stadium either on Jeff’s birthday or on Father’s Day. This year was on Father’s Day.

Wow, OK. I’m too lazy to go see what the last post of substance was about, so some of this may be repeated, or I might be missing a few steps.
Is that enough? I say so! I owe you horrific amounts of photos. I’ve been debating on no longer posting photos (other than ones I send from my cell phone) on Facebook and only posting them here. Of course I’ve been debating a lot of things. I’m weird. Who knows?
So that’s that. Nix is no longer a single princess, she is now a MARRIED princess.
…and I just noticed that I have a “we’re married!” tag already. So I guess I’ve already told you this?
Whatever. I’m happy : ) I’ll announce my marriage as many times as I want!
That’s all I got.

Yeah, so I’m only a little bit behind on these. Shut up. At least I warned you. A few days ago. Right?
Anyway, these were from a pretty, sunny day last October.

January 10th, 2009, we got new couches for the living room (they’re the reason I took out the wood burning stove), and then we went to watch the Ravens/Titans game at our favorite local sports bar, Torino’s. Sadly, the Ravens lost. Still love the couches though!

Between Christmas and New Year’s, 2008, we got a visit from one of my great friends from Tucson and her soon-to-be husband. We only took a few photos, but they are worth sharing! We love you guys : )

I’m trying desperately to get through my bevy of old photos that need to be posted on here. I can’t remember if I’ve posted any of these, and I’m far too lazy to go back and check. This is a mixed bag, mostly cell phone photos.

As the subject of the post would imply, I recently acquired a wide-angle macro lens. It’s been a bit of a learning experience. Here’s one day’s worth of practice.

In the time we’ve lived in this house, we’ve been slowly discovering things that weren’t done properly. One of my “favorites” (::cringe::) was finding out that the dryer vent was joined in several places with duct tape, and that it eventually reached a very small PVC pipe that was also tied into the bathroom vents. The moment I realized that mess was there, I disconnected the vent from the PVC pipe, and temporarily installed an indoor lint trap.
Ever seen an indoor lint trap? It’s essentially a plastic box full of water that the dryer vents into. It turns the entire floor of the house where the dryer lives into a sauna. Which sets off the fire alarm. And in the summer it makes your house intolerable.
As soon as I got my hands on a reciprocating saw, I set out to get the dryer vented outside again. These photos show from the point of repairing the wall up until right before I painted.

I am beyond thrilled to tell you all that Jeff and I got married last Thursday! There was no ceremony, we eloped, so don’t feel like I’m stiffing you out of photos or anything.
In honor of that (and since today is my day off and I only have one or two errands to run), I’m going to make some posts!
