nixanadoo blog taglines are silly

Nix eating some KORMA, that's right.

Nix is a 20 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 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.

Nix & Jeff Visited Richmond!

Nix Smith February 8th, 2010

Last November we made plans to go to the Richmond Fall tattoo festival. What ended up happening, however, was that we made an appointment for him to get tattooed at a Richmond shop. You can see the photos from that visit in this post here. This set is from our drive down the day before Jeff’s tattoo and all of our adventures when we got there.

Nix Baked An Acorn Squash

Nix Smith February 8th, 2010

So for whatever reason I got it in my head last fall that I wanted to bake an acorn squash. I don’t remember why. So the next time we were at a local farmer’s market, I picked one and had at it! Super easy, too. I’ll post the recipe later.

Nix Celebrated Halloween!

Nix Smith February 7th, 2010

This Halloween was nice. I got to dress up and pass out candy for the first time! It’s all I’ve wanted to do since we moved here. I actually ran out of candy, so I’ll get more next year. This is mostly photos of me cleaning the pumpkin guts.

Nix & Jeff Saw a Gross, Yucky Caterpillar

Nix Smith February 7th, 2010

This is post number 100! That’s exciting.

This fat guy was crawling slowly across the lawn last October, we had to take a few photos.

Nix Has Been Gone Too Long and Has Too Many Photos Due

Nix Smith February 7th, 2010

I should probably look to see when I made my last post, but I’m lazy (and too chicken), so I’ll just apologize, and as an offer for you to forgive me, I offer you a random assortment of single photos that don’t really belong to any set in particular.

I’ll put a description of each photo with that photo. Seems logical to me.

Nix Changed Some Stuff

Nix Smith November 27th, 2009

Please notice that I changed my banner to the winter photo, and I installed a new slideshow plugin for my photos! I’m proud of myself.

Much love to you all.

Jeff Got Another Tattoo

Nix Smith November 26th, 2009

Last weekend we drove down to Richmond to visit friends (although we saw fewer people than planned since I got sick Friday night) and for Jeff to get another tattoo. It was done by Fred Pinckard at Salvation in Carytown, Richmond, VA.

Nix & Jeff Had A Feast Then Put Up The Tree

Nix Smith November 26th, 2009

Today I cooked us a small feast, which Jeff told me no fewer than a gazillion times was the best I’ve made yet.

As is tradition for me (and now Jeff because I give him no choice in the matter), after dinner I put up the tree, then a while after that we decorated it together.

I’m sitting here and watching the Texas vs Aggies game in honor of my grandfather (Go Aggies!), who would watch it every year. I’m going to try and clean out my photos folder tonight, so expect at least one more post.

Nix Wants You All To Be Thankful

Nix Smith November 26th, 2009

I am incredibly thankful for all of the amazing people in my life who love me, the mistakes I’ve made, the amazing path my life has found, and for each and every one of you.

Please always remember to tell the people in your life that you love them. You never know when you won’t have another chance.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Nix Wants To Tell You Where She’s Been!

Nix Smith October 3rd, 2009

I don’t even want to look at how long it’s been since I’ve been active on here. Regardless of the time, I feel guilty and I’m sorry.

Since we last spoke, I started school (I’m going to be a bigger nerd than I already am!), started a job, put in my two weeks at the job, and soon I’ll start a Work Study at school. I finally got a camera phone, and I’m working on a way to automatically post photos from there to here, but of course when I’m working on that, the network my phone is on goes down. So that’s been pushed back.

So, I didn’t forget about it around here, and I wanted to be sure y’all don’t forget about me!
