Collage Time

I have been meaning to recreate a new collage for the most recent years of our lives and now I might have the time to do it.

Here is the one I made almost 4yrs ago:

New Lease on Technological Life

So i finally got a new phone. And one with a full keyboard to boot. I am super excited, as i can not only blog, tweet, and email with better ease, we were able to fix our plan and now I can access the internet and not worry about the per kb charge!

Rain...

So I love rain. I finally was able to sleep last night without the fan on for ambient noise. I had the rain to thank. But last night the rain was a bad thing for one of our neighbors. Our immediate neighbor has a a mutt and a chocolate lab(and she is the most precious thing, if I could I would steal her, although that might be kind of obvious.) Anyways back to the story. So around 2 or 3 this morning Ian and I hear a sad howling noise, and little yelps. The poor dogs live in the little side yard no bigger than 4ft by 12ft and they were left out in the rain. I was enraged. It is sad when pets are given to the pound because the owner no longer wants them or cant take care of them anymore, and I foresee this happening to these poor guys if they don't shiver to death.

Our neighbors run an elderly home, so I understand why the dogs are outside, but at least let them in the garage. But really they shouldn't have gotten dogs in the first place with the business that they run. I wish there was something I could do.

Ian and I went and gave the lab a good head scratching this morning when we went to leave and Ian brought the trash can in. The dog can stand up against the fence and her head just peers over. One day she may be able to jump right over. That will be the day that she will be our dog, or if not then we will hoard her until we can find her a good loving home.

So Ian just had to stop at the 5th Ave. cube (an Apple store) as that is one of his holy grail spots. So as he wanders around slack-jawwed, here I sit, under the "glass" spiral staircase one floor underground.

Good Morning New York!

We just docked in New York. We'll be home on Sunday night. It has been a great trip so far!

Landed in Dulles. Here's to hoping we can get upgraded on the next leg, since i haven't slept since 5am on Sunday.

Well I have been a bad blogger... not only did i disappear, it is now 20 days after the wonderous event and have yet to do a recap. I guess i will need to catch up. Whether to pick up where I left off or to just summarize... i'll ponder this while I switch gates. I am at o'hare international, courtesy of a work conference. And because I allow myself plenty of time to get to my destination, I gave up my connecting flight seat to one of the many military personnel looking to catch a flight home. Thank you to all those that are protecting and serving this great nation.

And now to switch gates... woohoo!

eek a mouse!!!

Those were the words i can only assume came out of my mother's mouth this past week. Oh and don't forget to add a blood-curdling scream in there too!

It seems she had a visit at her house, and doesn't know how long he has been there. He took up residence inside one of her couches and had been snacking on Smokey's cat food. My mom shredded the couches when she had seen the critter scurry underneath it. There were some droppings inside the back cushions, and that is when those couches then found themselves out in the garage and being sliced up the wazoo. I guess goodwill will be getting a really nice set of living room furniture...lol

It seems the cat won't come downstairs at all. Since when are cats afraid of little ol' mice. Hmmm...

Well my mother then set our about 24 of the glue traps in attempts to cat the critter and after 2 days she did...



The poor thing was stuck, fur and all. My mom then threw the trap outside on the patio. The poor guy was letting out some interesting cries for such a little thing.

I think i need to stop tormenting my mom about how cute the mouse is, because she isn't calling or emailing me since i made the comment: "Would you like some fried mice with that" (She had called my father amd we were about to go out to get chinese with him)

the winds of change...

So we are officially going to be moving. I am excited to paint the inside of the house, my parents house has been in dire need of a new coat on the interior of the house. When they had the remodel some years back some areas didnt get new paint, and boy howdy does it need it. So all those wanting to join in on the painting party let me know.

We are going to be moving stuff over the course of the month, and depending on what goes on with our current lease we will do a large item day with a moving truck as well. Woohoo for a big screen, courtesy of Ian's folks, hope we can hook up the Wii to it.

Large back yard, pool, balcony, park view, and trail. Oh and racketball court. So if anyone is down for some racketball or tennis and not the wii kind let me know, I am dusting off my rackets :-)

Fun Times at Ridgemont High

So I was just examining the photos from the bachelorette party last Saturday, and some of them are just so fun. I am not going to post them, as I want Casey to make the call on which of them she wants to post. Some of Kristi's pictures flared out, but it created a cool effect.

My dresses came back today from being altered. Yea! Ian is picking up his tux tonight, so we are all set for our wedding gear. Can't hardly wait, it will be a fun and joyous event, to see two of our good friends get married!
