My name is Oni Inigo Montoya.  You didn't feed me.  Prepare to die.

cuteness

there has been a lot of cuteness going on this past week.  i guess i'll give you a little more to finish it out.

oni and i are officially done with school!  not officially graduated until the 21st/24th, but who cares!  she has been a horrible study buddy for the record.

surprise reunion!

mikah and i had a surprise reunion with our favorite "sort of" family last week.  it was pretty fun.

aren't they cute?

some of my nursey friends are big on groupon.  one of them found a paint and drink class!  so we brought wine and drank a lot while we painted.  you can tell the ones who drank too much.  not me, obviously!

addiction

i discovered a new fantastic band!

_________________________________________

i have a new addiction.  i think it may mean i am officially an old weird cat lady.

 the very first "thing" i ever knitted.  it is literally a thing.  it looks so bad.  (it's a little bigger now)

i am working on my first real thing!  it is a baby blanket.  and it will have stripes.  and it will be so soft.  and i will keep it for my future snuggly babies!
that is only the first stripe, halfway done.  it's green.  i have to make 300 little knit stitches (they are called stitches...) for each row.  one row takes about an hour.

new mexico adventure

i like it, but i think she forgot english a little bit...

_____________________________________________

for spring break ruthie, my nurse friend (who i also happen to live with at the moment), and i had a new mexico adventure.  we went and stayed with tina, who is basically a distant (ish) relative.  it was so great!

here are some of the things we did:

 we did some extreme summer sledding at white sands on our drive up.  we also almost got shot up with missiles because we somehow ended up driving into this military missile range.  we kept wondering why we were seeing yellow signs with tanks on them that were shooting things...

 we saw the snow for the first time in a year for me, and many years for ruthie (i think), while hiking in the sandia mountains.

we went up the tram in the sandia mountains.  it was very high and scary.  and COLD.  so cold.  i had a hat and gloves and still froze.  there's a tiny ski hill (tinier than snowy) that is at the top of the mountains.  you have to take the tram to get to it.

 we went to the tent rocks and hiked up to the top.  ruthie had this idea that we should do handstands in front of the rocks.  so i went first.

me doing a handstand.

ruthie doing a reverse handstand.  i tried to show her how but i fell over and scraped my elbow and my knee.  people looked at us weird.

oni the lazy.

oni loves all the window sills in ruthie's house.  

 she also loves her lazy rhinoceros friend.

there it goes...

aaaaand there goes july.
oops.

but seriously.  things are getting serious now.  i have to catch up on all my adventures.  probably all the way since march...

here it goes...!
