Trying not to scream: Heads in a Jar

Heads in a Jar

Made with the Futurama Head in a Jar iPhone app on my iPad.

(Or is that Heads in Jars?)

(It's kind of astounding how much that looks like my husband.)

(I made them while procrastinating on the poster I'm making for a meeting I'm going to next week. I'm *really* tempted to put them on the poster...)

(I told you I was going to find something else to talk about...)

(AAAHH! The parentheses! Someone stop the parentheses!!!)

I'm a parentheses over-user, too. Loved this!!!!

Hugs,

Very cute... been thinking of you and hope you continue to feel better. This is certainly an exhausting and anxiety-provoking journey... your love for your future children will get you there :) Love to you always xoxo

The way you are with parentheses I am with dashes - I dash - and dash - and dash! LOL. Oh and also a huge LOL at the heads in the jars. Too cute. I might have to see if they have that as an iphone app as well. I don't watch the show, but think it would be neat to see what they make me look like!
