Amir has to do projects for school.  He had to model a system, for something or other.  He never really explains the details.  He wanted a fish tank.  I was thinking something small and modest, maybe five gallons. We got a 30 gallon tank on Craigslist. (I had to help move it twice. That thing weighs a tonne!!  The fish had quite the adventures.)  He hooked it up to these plants and pipes.  The pipes are hanging from the ceiling in his school. The video is not the greatest.  I keep telling Amir he needs to pan more slowly and pull back so we can see the whole thing. But you get the gist. They fish did not come home with us. Amir's professor has them.  Molly is not sad about this.

 Hmmm...what else.
Our friends from Idaho LOVE Amir's barbecue.  We did a little something different and tried a variety of sausages.  I think Aidells pineapple bacon are now my favorite. (available at your local Costco)  YUM!

Amir's office at work has been undergoing some renovations. As in move a few walls, pull up the floor, redo the kitchenette entirely, new furniture; simple things really.  But in the middle of the construction, they had to find a place to put the fridge. Bathroom is totally the first place that springs to my mind.  I thought it was hysterical.  Then I thought it was GENIUS!  

Our little puppy really isn't sad.  But she always has a pitiful expression on her face.  How could you ever say no to that adorable mug?

Long time no blog

I have been promising to blog, but have not had the time.  As to why I have not had time..I went back to school.  Why?  Figured I might as well.  Amir and I should finish around the same time.  Make a nice shift in my job; new field, new people to annoy.
And since it seems I failed to mention to my mother- I learned to ride a motorcycle too.  Amir started riding to save on gas. School and work makes for a loooong commute.  I thought, since I'm starting school, I should get a scooter. Something small I can use just for school.  I asked Amir and he said, why don't you learn to ride a motorcycle?  He kept pushing.  I had NO desire to learn.  Yeah.  He had ulterior motives; he wanted a new bike.  Bigger motor, more power.  Sneaky husband!
So you get a video of my...third time on a bike.  Don't laugh.  I had never even shifted out of 2nd gear!  It was way scary at first. But I am getting better.  Traffic is a nightmare, but I'm a ridiculously cautious driver.

Have been having fun with our little puppy.  We took her to a park and Amir found this rope in a tree.  Not being one to pass up a good rope, he tried it out.

This was not his first swing.  The others were a a little more graceful.
