hi!

Yeah, I know, I've been AWOL.... well, I won't have internet at my apt. 'til Aug. 6th, so it's been really hard to get here... but, just wanted to say "hey" and let y'all know I am still alive..... barely....alive....geez, it's so stinkin' humid here!! I've never sweat so much in my life, I swear!

The Players in this Show

Me, Ann, the mum. Housewife slacker, (I understand the concept of cooking and cleaning - just not how it applies to me...) Mess-maker extraodinaire, Homeschool teacher, biggest lover of the pets.
Alan, the dad and husband. Smart, sensitive (but wouldn't want you to know that!) Motorcycle rider (think canyon racing crotch-rocket, not Harley) maker of the money, keeper of the reason, begrudging lover of the pets.
Kiwi, the greatest girl ever. Not her real name, but someone truly thought we named her that! So it's been a great nickname. 13 years old, incredible imagination, likes fairies and dragons. Current obsession - all things Narnian. And stuffies...needs lots and lots of stuffies to cuddle. Her best friend is her horse stuffie, nearly loved to death over the last 9 years. Doll collector. Has the gift of friendship, and the trial of anxiety. A lover of the pets, but they think she's on their level.
Merry, the girlie dog. Born on Christmas Eve, stuck in mama too long, has brain damage. Half yellow lab, half golden retriever, full sweetie. Smart but incredibly silly. Some would call her stupid, but it isn't so. Softest dog ever.
Matt the Cat, provider of entertainment, snatcher of ponytail elastics ("hairdoobies" at our house) which he stores in his food dish. Along with Polly Pocket clothing. Runt of his litter. Thinks he's tough, but we're onto him. Except for Kiwi, who keeps getting her ankles bit.

From West to East and back again ~ Weird stuff I have noticed

Now we are back in the West - YeeHawww!!
All the notes below are what we experienced in the East... Things are DIFFERENT there!
Even stuff that is the same, is different - like, Yoplait yogurt; no one carries my fave flavor - Mountain Huckleberry. Guess that's a western thing? And butter (and margarine) - here, even the familiar brands, they all come in long, skinny cubes... out west the cubes are shorter and fatter. Same brands - made different. Why?? That is WEIRD.
Humidity - You sweat more - much more - you are still flippin' hot. Sweat works better out west! It evaporates, you cool off..... here, you sweat, you get.... sweaty.
People are grumpy here. I've seen 3 people go into tirades at the market.... some folks need to CHILL.
Deer are everywhere! We see them every single day, at least one, just munching on the side of the road. Weird, maybe, but very very cool!
