[QUOTE]Any! I forgot all about my cardbox until literally 2 days before. I ended up running to Michael's (it's a craft store, not sure if they're out there in Arkansas) and getting a box, slicing a slot in the top with an exacto knife and wrapping it in silver paper. The end. Lol. And I had such high hopes for a pretty cardbox.  What does yours look like?

They are! I bought a plain cardboard box (well, it's round), painted it white, cut out a stencil and hand painted some designs on, and I'm adding some rhinestones now. Here, I has pics.

It's not as clean as I'd have liked, but my hands are too unsteady; I'll never be a surgeon.

Speaking of WR stuff, man people Pin some godawful wedding stuff.

I've been good, busy with work and building our house. How are things with you? 

MandK9

Dang, yours is lovely! Love it. I'm pretty sure nobody photographed mine. Lol.

And... um.  Pinterest wedding ideas make my eyes bleed sometimes. I almost started a board to repin the worst ideas I'd ever seen, but that seemed too aggressive. But I mean... someone should tell these people.

K- I'm a thuper duper animal lover. I actually have a tat to prove it (If I can find it). And I was a pescatarian for my first year and after that I cut it out. I've thought about going back to eating fish because it really would open up a lot of dinner choices for me and I may one day. If I ate meat again it would easily be fish.

MandK9

Reils, I've been sort of drowning with school+work lately.  I have 3 weeks left this semester, and I've sort of mentally checked out from the super-stressful class, because my soul can't take it anymore. Lol. That's the main reason I've been MIA. 

Also, I did not win the megamillions last night.  Just FYI.

ETA: Building your house? Sweet! I am jealous!

MandK9

Veggie, mine's for moral reasons too.  I cry more when animals are hurt in movies than when humans are.  Here's my reasoning for fish (other than the rationalization that it keeps me healthier):  If I were to be stranded on an island and had to fend for myself food-wise, I would live on plants for as long as possible.  If I was desperate for food, I think I could bring myself to kill a fish, even though I would sob.  I could never kill anything else.  It would ruin my life. So... I'll eat whatever I could kill for myself. 

And, I want to see your tattoo

Found it! Are you a veg for health reasons?

Seriously. I think the worst is all the super ridiculous prom dresses.

VeggieLove1022

Fish would definitely open up healthier options. Lately I've gotten lazy on cooking and the easiest veg meal is always centered around some sort of carb and cheese. Grilled cheese, cheese quesadilla, cheese toast, mac and cheese, alfredo and penne, mozzarella sticks, cheese pizza..... It never ends. lol. I ended up gaining quite a bit of weight and even though it's not terribly hard to lose the extra pounds, I just know I shouldn't be surviving off bread and cheese.

ETA: Any- your card box is adorable!

MandK9

I always hesitate on here to talk about what dresses I hate... but man, there are some that just make me sad.  A friend of mine is getting married, and his fiancee pins stuff all the time.  Her dress is going to be one of those sad dresses.  I'm so judgmental.

MandK9

Yeah, man, cheese is the bomb. But it also is obviously so fattening, and one of my health psych professors is almost daily giving us a tirade about why it's so awful for you.  I don't care. I love cheese.  All kinds of cheese.

I love your tattoo(s)-- made me smile

So I'm not tooooo worried about offending someone.

Cheese is the greatest.

Mand, I hope your last 3 weeks go by fast!

Oh and yeah, we've been working on our house since August. I am so ready to move in, hopefully in a few more months we'll be done. It's a looong and sloooow process. 

VeggieLove1022

Thank you! I want to get a lot more tattoos, but my bank account isn't agreeing with it. But a part of me wishes I never quit eating fish. I'm so afraid to pick it up again because I know a lot of people would say/ think I was giving up or that I didn't really love animals. Ever since I became a veg a ton of people have said that they're just waiting for me to give up. I would feel like such a failure if they thought I was slowly coming back to meat. I know it's stupid to care what people think, but if there's one thing I don't want people to doubt about me- it's that.

Edited for spelling

MandK9

Lol, no, you're right Any.  The ones I want to bash are ones that I've seen here once in a while. Sigh.

And UGH Veggie, I know what you mean.  My mom keeps telling me she knows I'll quit someday.  I just roll my eyes now.  It's ridiculous.  It wasn't even a hard transition for me.  Meat is just not something that drove my life.  Who cares what I eat?
