My big sister and I were talking the other day about how funny it is that we, my sisters, have taken on the quirks, attributes and/or hobbies of our spouses. She goes camping and hunting and my other big sister goes to Moab every year for rock crawling. While my husband doesn't share quite the same interests, I too have taken on his "hobby"... of being a total nerd.
As some of you know, JJ and I LOVE the website www.thinkgeek.com, they have everything a nerd would ever dream of... well... almost.
Here we have the "Pop Quiz Math Clock." You first have to solve the equation before you're actually able to tell what time it is. Not nerdy enough?
We also have the "Periodic Table Shower Curtain." JJ loves that he can learn while showering. Are you in agreement with me yet?
Incase I haven't proved our nerdiness enough, take a gander at this last picture... As I said before, you can find ALMOST anything on thinkgeek... except for a Rubik's Cube Kleenex cover.
Our favorite tv show, The Big Bang Theory, has one of these on set - a fan made one and sent it in. You can't purchase one of these anywhere, believe me, I searched. So after many ideas, plans, plotting & scheming, I finally decided to make my own. I visited the Wood Connection with a sketch, measurements, and a hope that they would be willing to build my idea. They built me a box, then cut out 44 little squares. I messed up JJ's Rubik's Cube (which he noticed and almost ruined my surprise...), got the pattern I wanted and started painting. This is my final product!! I know I don't usually say I'm good at things, but I have to say, I'm freaking awesome when it comes to this project!!
