Yellowstone Here We Come!

You know it is just "PITI" that I can't blog more often. It's not like I'm so busy like I use to be at home through the nights. I should make a point of at least ONE blog a week. Even if it's to review a movie or something. Or gezz...post a drawing...not like I don't have tons of those!

Anyway!

So this is a post to post (LOL) a link to my me.com web gallery. This is where I will be posting up some images of our trip to Yellowstone starting this Friday. Very exciting. I'm needing a vacation and this one will last over a week. So I'm ready to hit the road and see some sites!

So here is the link. Hopefully I'll have my act together and post about them when I get back.

Socks Goes For a Ride

So Socks got a new bike...well actually I got one and a trailer to go with it. I kind of feel funny riding her in it. But then again she really seems to like it. Which I kind of find funny. Tonight I got a lot of attention from it. Most people probably think I'm strange but I don't care. I'm just enjoying my kitty. She makes me laugh a lot!

As far as her riding in it. Well she has done good. The first time around the block she just sat there and then tried to get out. So I went home pretty quick incase she figured it out....and she will I'm sure! The second time I just walked with her in it. She did a lot better but it was SO windy and I think it bothered her a lot more it would normally. The next time we got chased by a beagle and that was the end of our fun!!

But tonight she did good. She sat there looking around at things. It was a quiet night. I went a different way so there wouldn't be as much traffic. We were pretty close to being home and she started meowing and pawing at the back window. I sped up cuz I knew she was not liking it much at that point.

It's so funny too because she knows when we're home. She starts to get excited and pawing at the door to get out. Then once I open it she just sits there like...let's go again!

I was riding my bike around in the front yard and she would chase me. She's more like a little dog than a cat! Crazy kitty!

You Know You Haven't Post When...

You know you haven't post in a long time when you can't remember how to get into your old Blogger page. That's bad! I've had to resort to this one which I never posted in. I'm either stupid or getting old or maybe both! Yeah so anyway here's an update from my holiday vacation over Christmas. Well, just the highlights!

It started off like this. I left for Texas to visit my family for a few days and I ended up helping my brother-in-law with a little house they helped my nephew buy. I'm okay with that because of all the help he gave me a few weeks ago when I had no electric for a solid week due to a freak ice storm. Maybe I'll post about that later but I'd rather just forget that week ever happen cuz it SUCKED!

This was my main job. I have to say I felt pretty handy after 2 hours of figuring our how to put the dishwasher together. Any idiot would have taken at least 3 hours but this one completed it in by myself in just 2! I know you're impressed! You can say it! Go on! Say it!

After a day of recovering from being so handy :-) I got to go to the first of a few parties. This one was being put on by my brother-in-law and a bunch of his full grown nerd friends. I fit right in let me tell you! We stayed up the either night playing an computer game called Star Craft. Now let me explain for those "normal people" out there not nerdy enough to know what this game is. It's basically Risk. Well kind of. It's a third party game where you direct your men around this online world. You fight battles, take over areas, fight more battles, and so on. The game really never ends. I'm serious! It just goes on for ever as long as you play it. I've played this game for years and years and years. I was an online nerd gamer! So for me this was a LOT of fun to play for hours with people I hardly know.

Before we could play we had to setup. This is me giving my two cents on how I think the best way we should set up our ethernet connections. There was one guy here SO nerdy that he bought 150 feet of ether net cable just for this night. I LOVE IT!

My next party was almost as nerdy as the first one. This was spent playing Rock Band. Now I had only watched people play Guitar Hero and not really gotten into it much. But then the grown men in my family decided to play. From that point on no children were allow near the game system. It was OURS! Zack got Rock Band for Christmas from me and I'm hoping he will decide to leave it at my house next weekend so that I can veggie out to this ubber retarded game that I love so much!

Finally, let me introduce you to the newest member of the Ryan family. Mr Brooks. He might look about 6 months but I assure you he is only around 12 weeks. He is a MONSTER. And he is my new buddy. We hung out on the sofa most of the day sleeping and watching tv. Then he pooped and I gave him back.

I learned a new way to clean up baby vomit though. So he spits up on the table. No rag around to clean it up. Just sit him in it. It does the same thing as a rag as long as you rub it around a little. LOL! Then when someone asks "what's on his back side" pretend you accidentaly sat him down in it. LOL!
