Maybe you could find yourself a hidden treasure, or just get your self somemore junk to fill your own home that you will sell at a Garage sale next year. Gotta love the cycle of crap...

Come on by!

Our friend Scott, shooting himself in Iraq

Ok, maybe not really shooting himself... but we think this photo is hilarious. I'm just glad he is on the ground and not up in the air. (We love Scott, but wouldn't put it past him!)

This week Scott wrote into our community newspaper. It's hard to talk about his letter with people, because this war is such an emotional and strongly political issue. I guess what we have a hard time explaining to people is that this war isn't about politics for us anymore. It is about our best friend. We don't want to fight about who is right and what has been done wrong. We just want to support our friend. That letter wasn't about PR, or bolstering of the war for us. It was just another indication (like the photos, emails and random satelite phone calls) that our friend is still ok.

No, we don't support this war. But we do keep all of the soldiers, thier families and friends in our thoughts. Because we are now part of this, whether we like it or not.

Dramatic Life Update # 1

We haven't posted in a while. Not that there isn't a ton going on in our lives, but that we haven't really found the time.

So today, before any more time as passed, before another moment flies by, or another grain of sand falls I will update all of our 4 readers who want to know what is going on.

I am still working for the Girl Scouts... and I think I like it. Kev is still at the store... and he sometimes likes it. Olive decided to become anorexic about a month ago, dropped 4 pounds and was told by the vet that if she didn't start eating she wouldn't last much longer. Needless to say we began force feeding her three times a day and she is doing much better. This week she is back up 4 pounds and is eating mostly on her own. What is with that cat? Talk about high maintenance.

Other than that, we are talking about ripping out the bathroom floor some time in the next few months. Be sure that there will be photos.

Other than that...I have cute cousin's with mustaches. What could be better?

*p.s. Happy one year aniversary Blog! I promise to try to spend more time updating you this year!*

Thinking of You

Our dear friend Scott shipped out to somewhere in Iraq yesterday. Although I am not fond of the military, nor am I fond of this war, I am very fond of Scott. I wish him safe travels and an uneventful year of duty in Iraq. As a helicopter pilot (he flies the Chinook, or the double propellered cargo helicopter) I am sure he will see plenty of action over the next year. I ask that you keep him in your thoughts and send him positive energy to sustain him durring the next year. We love you Scott.

A proper young lady

So it has been a while since we posted a photo of our darling kitty Olive. I couldn't resist posting this photo: isn't she the cutest. Anyway, life is good and our kitty is cute. Enjoy.

Going back to my roots!

No I am not talking about my hair color. It is official, I am employed. If you can't guess from the photo, I am a Girl Scout again! (Either that or I am an animal trainer, right?)

I am a program manager for the Girl Scouts. What does that mean? I have been working there for just over 3 weeks and I am not really clear on that yet. I know that I am responsible for the planning of council programing for Daisy, Brownie and Junior Girl Scouts. (Girls ages 5-12) But there is so much to learn and I have been told the curve is a long one. I will keep ya'll updated. Hopefully a little more frequently than I have been!

p.s. Can you believe that this is one of the only photos of me in my Girl Scout uniform? There are about 80 pictures of Elliot in his Cub Scout uniform and even some of my dad in his leader uniform, but me... I guess I don't merit a photograph in my uni unless there is a cat to make it interesting. (That is Barney by the way, my family's first cat.)
