Go on 15 dates with Robert

We went on our 8th date this past weekend. First, we went to a matinee of the new movie Everything Must Go, with Will Ferrell. It was good! We both really liked it, and recommend it. And we shared Sour Patch Kids I smuggled in. Yum.

For dinner we tried a Thai restaurant by our house for the first time, called Tup Tim. It's a weird looking building, as it used to be a Long John Silvers, and they painted it in primary colors. We'd heard mixed reviews about the restaurant (particularly from Mary and John, one of whom said it was good and one whom said "don't even fuck with Tup Tim", and they ate there together), so we thought we should see for ourselves. It was fine, but I suppose we were a bit underwhelmed. It's hard for much to compare to the wonderful Thai restaurants we had in Marquette (Thai House and Rice Paddy). The food was good, Thai is almost always delicious. But we went a bit on the early side, so we were the first there for dinner, and when more groups of people came in, they kept sitting them all around us....They had a whole restaurant open, and they kept sitting everyone next to each other. Not a huge fan of that, especially when one of the groups contained a grumpy 11-year-old.

All in all, it was a good date. It always is, spending time with my guy.

Alter 10 items of clothing



This shirt has been sitting in my "to do something with" pile for YEARS. My friend Eryn sent it to me when I still lived in Marquette, so it's been at least two years, maybe more. Eryn had stamped these airplanes on the shirt because airplanes are my FAVORITE shape. The fit of the shirt was really unflattering, but I liked the airplanes so much I wanted to do something with it so I could wear it. I took the sides in, cut the collar off, and cut the sleeves shorter. I think it looks pretty cute now!

#33: Finish a crochet project (with Mom's help)

completed 4.22.11



I started this back on our event night, as blogged here, using a pattern which my mother deciphered, and then taught me how to do it, teaching me the different crochet stitches along the way. Once I had the hearts done, I chainstitched a thin/lace thread, and strung 'em up!


The pattern I used can be found here.
