What is the most creative gift you have ever given or received? 
Submitted by Nacwolin.

I like this question. Last August for mine and Andrew's two year, we wrote each other stories because we were both broke but still wanted to give each other something.  Mine was a collection of very short stories based on different time eras of a typewriters life, and focused on the owners of it from when it was brand new to old, I liked the idea of everyone being connected by that typewriter, and I really love delving into the lives of characters, he seemed to like it and I may expand on that story idea sometime this summer.  The story he wrote me was surreal, based on a pig's head, it was freaky but I really liked it. These were nice gifts, a nice change of pace from purchasing each other something.
    Just experienced two lovely days off from work, its a relief but tomorrow will be an 8am-5pm shift, which is nice and shorter than 9am-7pm, but still long.  Sunday is the short shift, 1-5pm and then a complete mystery as to what next week will hold in store for me.  It is nice though, being outside all day at work and working with my hands, feeling the fresh air and looking at some very pretty flowers.  I have no clue what I'll do with myself once June rolls around, aside from looking for new employment.
    Need to purchase my Mom a gift, hmm.....
    Oh, also hungout with Aimee briefly on Wednesday night and hope to go the bar with her sometime next week, get our drink on and enjoy time in each others company. 
    Grandma's birthday was yesterday and the family is celebrating it this weekend, going to Ohio, and I have to decline because I can't take the time off of work which makes me sad, but hopefully I get to see her soon, maybe my Mom and I will take her out to breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
 

What websites do you visit every day?
Submitted by Chez Michelle.

mugglenet - Um, what can I say? The closer the release date to book 7, the more frequently I check the site out.  Once book 7 comes out, I swear off the internet all together until I finish the book :o]
Detroit Tigers - I seem to always miss watching the games, due to work or conflicting schedualing and people openly complaining about a baseball game being on, so I like to check out what happened, what I missed, and so forth.
Myspace - Hm... I like to see who commented and when.
gmail - I can't help but look
Vox - I like reading stranger's lives :o]

    Things are going swimmingly right now.  Andrew finally got his brother's car switched to his name, the plate and insurance.  My car seems to be in the process of having issues with the brakes, best to have it looked at.  Hours are picking up at work as our group opted for ten hour shifts, so we could get days off. The weekend shifts will be shorter, glee.

    All A's in my classes, woo-hoo.

In your ultimate dream house, what does your favorite room look like?

Simple.  It would be my very own office/reading room.  I'd have a huge bay window, with comfortable cushions and pillows and use it as a lounging perch.  Also, there would be a fancy desk--unsure of what material it'd be made of--the desk would house my computer and necessities for writing or work (school work or job related, depending what course my life is taking) and decent lighting.  There would also be comfy chairs against the walls with reading lights and tabletops for my reading area, I want a few windows so I can get fresh air and maybe a door leading outside so I could easily take my reading outdoors.  Yep.  It'd have no television and the only music would come from the computer.  I'd paint it a nice, relaxing color and probably have Andrew choose the color scheme because he is damn good at that. I would also probably allow him to use the room as well ;P

My second favorite room would be the bedroom and the only requirements? A huge bed with comfy pillows and sheets!

Well, life is going along.  Hours are picking up at the Greenhouse as we need to get planting and setting up for the season, which opens near May.  Semester is starting to get to the point where projects I've known about all along are becoming due and woe to me for not starting them sooner, as always.  The weather has been AMAZING these past couple of days, yesterday Andrew and I went bike riding and I realized how out of shape I truly am, we also played some basketball.  Spent some time with my Dad, while studying.  I like going to my Dad's house to study, it's open, breezy, and just kind of nice and no distractions of a TiVo, where I just feel compelled to watch whatever it's recorded. 

Tomorrow I work 9 - 5, which means I'll return probably either very sweaty and gross or muddy and wet, or perhaps both scenarios.. unsure of what the weather is calling for.  Thursday is Logic where I have a test and maybe I'll see if I can go into work once my test is finished, as I'll probably finish by 10 and be awake and bored.  Friday, will be 9-5 and then the weekend I should be working.  Nice.  I desperately need the money.  Today is my day off to study.. which I am breaking for, yep.

Well... I ought to return to studying.
