I appreciate your vouch for my non-boringness. :D

 

That NY,NY puzzle sounds awesome. 0_0

It was a really cool puzzle. I would have loved to have *attempted* to do it. But I think it would have frustrated me to the point of tears. It was huge... and it had a ton of detail.

I fail at puzzles. I can do ones with like 60 pieces but if they have like 200 I usually give up after 10 minutes.

I love puzzles. Though I kind of agree with Tyler. Once you get into the 650+ range, it just takes too long to do. :laughingsmiley:

I remember by late Elem. school, the 100 piece Disney puzzles, I could do those in about 30 minutes. The one 550 I did... that took ALL day. With my mom and I working on it together. My husband and I are attempting to work a 2000 piece. (We haven't worked on it in months, because it's a huge puzzle and we don't enough room to work on it at home. Someday... perhaps... we'll finish it. But I'm the Queen of Procrastinating. lol I still have a cross-stitch I was making for my dad for my parent's 15th anniversary. I'm still not done with it (and I'm not sure I know where it is anymore.) But they just celebrated their 28th. lol (Sad, I know.)

Haha. I'm a procrastinator too. But that is a long time...13 years? lol. 2000 is a lot. I don't think we would have enough room in our house either... o_O

I procrastinate too much. Like when I have to type something. I'll type my name and the title, then just go on the internet xD

Haha. I must admit, I do that too. It takes me forever to get my homework done. Cause I don't start until like 11. Makes me a bit of a zombie during the day. Zzzzzzzz

lol Yeah, I would have been 10-11 when I started it. It'll be awesome when I finish it. It's a pastel sea-scape with a lighthouse. I was making it for his office.

The puzzle is of a lighthouse? Lighthouses are so pretty. I went to one awhile ago. I don't know. Something about them makes me happy.

Tyler, that is not procrastinating. That's being easily distracted. :-P

 

The cross-stitch I started when I was 10-11 was a lighthouse. But I did do a little 3-D puzzle for him that was a lighthouse too. Amazingly, that was finished much quicker. lol My dad has always been into boats, lighthouses, stuff like that. Now he's into mountain stuff more, ever since he started taking work trips to Alaska. Now he wants to finish his office in their basement to look like a log cabin. lol even from the outside of the room.

That's so cool. Alaska is really pretty. I went there on a cruise once with my grandpa. I would totally live in a log cabin.

I've been to Alaska once. I was there for a week, during summer. My dad works for a computer company, and he went up there to cover for some of the people. He worked in Anchorage that time. (Ever since, he's got to Fairbanks in December/January) I thought Anchorage was gorgeous. At the time, I was considering law school, and I thought it would be perfect to have my little law practice up there. Then it got to be winter here, at -16 and I changed my mind. lol My dad loves it though... even Fairbanks in winter. He goes for a month or more, so he rents a little cabin. Goes cross-country skiing and such. He thinks it's great fun when he has a water bottle freeze solid in his pocket. Personally, I want to be somewhere warm. I hate cold now. lol

 

My husband would love to pack everything and move to a cabin in AK, never to talk to anyone else again. So would my dad, and my father-in-law. I know if I put the 3 of them in the same room one of these days... us 3 females are not going to be happy with what results. lol

yeah. I like summer Alaska. But winter Alaska/- temperatures, not so much my cup of tea.

Yeah, I get distracted and procrastinating mixed up sometimes. But I do procrastinate on pretty much every assignment I have.

I've never been to Alaska, but it's definitely one of the top places I would like to go.

It's 39 degrees here right now. And that's too cold for me. Let alone -50 to -60. That's too extreme for me. But during summer, it was high 70s, low 80s. It was perfect.

 

EDIT: Tyler, Alaska is a must-see. Someday. I have this goal, of seeing all 50 states, plus out of the country before I die. I figured Alaska and Hawii would be 2 states I'd never make it to. I've made it AK, and about, 10-12 other states... plus Mexico and the Bahamas. And I'm only 24. So I should have plenty of time to complete my goal. I

it gets way too hot here sometimes. Last summer we had 105 degree tempuratures

You're right... that's a bit too hot. Not too much though. Where do you live?

I live in southern California. Sometimes it's warm, sometimes it's cold sometimes it's really hot. It just keeps changing.

I'm in Colorado. In the middle, near Denver. Even though we have a nice, high elevation, we get the weird stuff. During summer, it rarely gets about the higher 90s. But there's days in December and January, where it's 70 degrees. We get snow storms that close highways, then there's no sign of the snow by morning. You never know how to dress here. lol The day can start out as shorts weather, and be snowing by evening.

one day last week it was raining at 3 am, rained again at 9 am, again 1 pm, again at 5 pm, again at 9 pm. It was just on and off every few hours.

Oops. I got distracted. Hehe. Wow, Tyler...that sounds...tempermental. Like the clouds were indecisive.

See... now rain, I like. Snow... well... hmmm. Can I interest any of your Cali people to some snow? It's pretty, I promise. My husband is from Florida and he loves it. (There's this couple that lives near us... the guy is from Florida, the woman is from Cali. I guess when it snowed for the first time when he got here, he asked her what it was. She was like, ummmm, snow. He said, "I thought snow fell in balls." lol See? Snow is awesome. You know you guys want some. :whistle:

I have snow. A 30 minute drive from my house gets you to snow covered mountains. 8D

But wouldn't you like a few feet of snow? And all you'd have to do is walk out your front door? I'll pay you to take it. Take it all!
