I'm bloggin'!

Sooooooooooo, I've been super duper busy and haven't had much online time at all. Sort of like living in the 80's all over again, minus the music, Reagan and Soviet spies, which is what made it a decade worth living in (no booing from the left, Reaganomics could have worked!). So to my fellow bloggers I'll be visiting you soon and to my non-blogging readers, Hi!

Here is a true, illustrated story for you to celebrate my return.

Will and Carrie went on a hike somewhere in Ellensburg. Will found a four leaf clover.



Later on in the hike, Carrie fell and scraped up her right knee. You can't really see it here but I'm sure that's not why you are here anyway, at least I hope.

(I know that looks like a Corey, but that really is in fact the Carrie)

A week later, after wearing the same sweatshirt she has worn on her hike (not in any pic) to bed, she found a tick on her leg the next morning.


After 20 or so minutes of struggling to remove the lousy tick, Carrie finally got him loose, although he took some of her skin with him and tried to get away (Click on pic to enlarge).



No one takes Carrie's skin and lives, so she sentenced him to death by alcohol.

While it was Will that found the four leaf clover, Carrie is the one who pulled it out. So, if you find a four leaf clover, be sure to have someone else do the dirty work of ending its luck bestowing life.

April?

Sorry for low quality photo, but it's the best I could get with my phone (the camera, along with the Will, are in another continent at the current time).

Now if you can direct your attention to the white blur in the photo, that would be snow, and that would be yesterday, April 18. I did in fact speak too soon. We are still waiting for spring.

Lame Pic for Lame Game

I went to my first, but not last, Angels v. Mariners game of the season yesterday and contrary to the title it wasn't a lame game. Thanks to the mistakes on both teams (Anaheim needs you back soon Lackey!), it was a nail biter up until the 7th inning. Unfortunately, the Angels didn't recover from their mistakes as much and they lost.

In my attempt to be cool or funny or something I had Will take a picture of me in my Angels gear with my newly received free Mariners' calendar. It didn't turn out so cool or funny, AND it is poorly centered AND Will's fleece even makes its way into the lower left corner of the picture. This is same man that takes photos like this:



Me:


Yep, not too much effort put into that last one Will. The Angels must have been ahead.

TIRED

Update: I wrote this on the day listed above but did not post it until 4/12, because I don't like the cold. I wanted to post a picture of the kitty, Kitty, but the wireless didn't have enough 'umph' to upload the large file. My options were to post sans pic or go downstairs to the frigid, dark basement (where Will also kindly set up my office!?) and connect directly to the stronger cable. I chose option 3. In a related note, spring may have finally arrived in Seattle.


Old News:
I've started my new job and I am still teaching. Luckily, I'm not in school this quarter or else I'd probably be too tired to tell you I am tired. Informative posts are on their way. Here is the preview:

Our brief vacation in hicksville (not bad, really)
Chino post (I'm still going to write it even if no one cares)
You decide what I write about! (I'm thinking I'll probably pretend someone suggested a topic)

For your pleasure, here is a picture of my poor kitty, who is also named Kitty. I'm a bad mother, I abandoned Kitty for a man and now I make my parents take care of her. Actually the real story is that she lived the life of luxury in Chino (in her picture she is on her futon/bed, what cat has a real bed?) and she was living the hood life in Fresno. She loves hunting, but in Fresno I couldn't let her out of my apartment because of the animals that weren't properly trained. And that includes some high ranking, top of the food chain members of kingdom Animalia, if you know what I mean. So after a semester, I returned her to my parents where she could roam free again. Unfortunately, I never introduced her to my then boyfriend Will's cat Donny. So when it came time to move to Seattle, I didn't want to risk taking her along and finding out the two cats didn't like each other. Sadly, I left her in California. I am sure writing a lot for being tired, so here we go...
