tink, bacon looks so cute all wet; i just want to hug him and squeeze him!!

[Barefoot2Dream]

tink, bacon looks so cute all wet; i just want to hug him and squeeze him!!

well, maybe after he dries ;)

[tinkerlion]

and of course her favorite place to dry off is my lap. that's why we play when she's still wet.

[Rensul]

Bacon's getting so big!

I was looking at "baby" pictures of Nellie the other day...she was so cute-now she's a damn horse!!! Who likes to be a lap dog of course...it's ok cause I still love it:)

A friend of mine told me his brother has one more black lab pup left-I have been sooo tempted-so cute when they are small- I keep reminding myself that they get big...we really don't have any room for another dog:(

[tinkerlion]

one of the girls i work with has a full grown black lab and they just got another puppy. she was telling me how she tried to walk her yesterday for the first time on a leash. aparently she was rolling along on her big ol' belly:p

[Rensul]

ahh- that is so cute- Nellie did that too- she didn't get the leash thing...we had to drag her down steps too- she just wouldn't go down them...

[tinkerlion]

this is me with my "soul mate" angela (the one in the middle) and one of the other girls at work. angela is just one of those people that i feel like i've known forever, even though it's only been a few months.

[lietuvaite]

tink, the link doesn't work

[tinkerlion]

after putting the lights on, to then having the cord chewed, to getting new lights, the tree is sorta done.

http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/3564/2006treekw6.jpg

you can't see them in the picture, but i got new led lights that use 80% less energy.

and renee, you ain't the only one taking too many pictures of the animals

bacon thinks she can do everything the cats do, including lounging on the back of the couch:rolleyes:

[Rensul]

ah- cute! Nice pics of the tree...here is my effort- finished last night and it's as good as it is gonna get:)

[sway2sway]

sauce, I love that shirt

[sauce.baby]

second that . . . ;) who is the chica mr. sauce is groping? haha. j/k!
lol mr. sauce is groping gwen, the best friend of the hostess, karen -not pictured, who is the older sister of ben, mr. sauce's best friend, that i'm standing next to.

sheeesh, you'd think i didn't name people when i posted the picture or something :rolleyes:
:p

[sauce.baby]

sauce, I love that shirt
i knew you would :D my mom stole it from my grandpa when she was in her teens [so in the 60's] and i stole it from her about 8 years ago. i'm just now fitting into it again and i love it!

[tinkerlion]

oh and I was wrong- Nellie is now taking an interest in the tree- as soon as the ornament were on...
http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k121/Rensul74/100_0061.jpg

hehe. at least bacon can only get to a certain height on the tree. it hasn't fallen so far. has nellie continued to sniff around it? the tree looks great by the way. i like the white lights with the red. did the fuse go out again?


sauce, looks like ya'll had a great time!

[Rensul]

Thanks! I love the red and white together- Ryan was giving me crap about the white lights- but that's what I like & I didn't want to go buy anymore new ones

yeah she's still sniffing around- caught her trying to pull branches out too- not good! was thinking that's a great way for the tree to go down:eek:

she's also drinking the water from the basin:rolleyes:

Lights were on last night no fuse problem-so I think it was the timer...

[tinkerlion]

well hopefully no more problems. i got annoyed having to put the lights on two times this year.:rolleyes:

i've got an extra strand now, trying to decide if i want to put them on the banister. last year it was snowflake garland that was left over from my little tree i used in college. it was part decoration, part cat toy.

[ragmop]

lol mr. sauce is groping gwen, the best friend of the hostess, karen -not pictured, who is the older sister of ben, mr. sauce's best friend, that i'm standing next to.

sheeesh, you'd think i didn't name people when i posted the picture or something :rolleyes:

sorry about that, sauce. hey, i'm old and cranky. leave me alone! get off my lawn!

[sauce.baby]

dang-nabbit! these young whippersnappers! thinkin' they know everything. well in my day we never talked back to grown ups, like they do these days. we knew our place--which back in those days was in the cellar. under the stairs.

nowadays you got these youngens takin' pictures, getting all juiced up at christmas parties, and then gettin' all smart with ya! ;)

ahaha that was totally set up but so worth it :D

[LipstickVogue]

hey! i wanna hang out in the cellar under the stairs...

[ragmop]

now THAT'S a recipe for fun: rags, sauce and LSV . . . ladies, i know that someday our respective circles will overlap in this venn diagram we call life.

until that day, know that you are the queen bees of my hive.;)

[LipstickVogue]

i heart you, rags. and you too stace! and here's a little gem for everyone who hasnt seen this one on myspace:

over thanksgiving at my parents' house i was sitting in the kitchen, watching tv, doing crossword puzzles and holding the cat(while wearing this hat). at one point, my mom asked me if i wanted to meet up with them for dinner after their bible study, to which i replied "cant you see im very busy right now? why else would i be wearing this hat?" of course i still had dinner with them.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/Evenatari/batty.jpg

[tinkerlion]

very nice hat ya got there.

[ragmop]

i ADORE that pic with the hat! but the story is even better. you're one of a kind, nat. *hugs*

[LipstickVogue]

Rags you flatter me too much. *hugs* can we see more pics of you without a shirt now? ;)

[ragmop]

ask and you get, don't and you won't . . . haha! had to, nat. just for you!
http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c266/mtgubbins1013/Nov06NiteOut001.jpg

[LipstickVogue]

me-ow! im going to take a cold shower now.

;)

[sauce.baby]

shaved and everything. is that a tatt on the inside of your right arm? why do i not seem to know anything about this?

[ragmop]

the shaving was for halloween. chippendale butler outfit. had to tan and wax for it. yeah, i go all out, darlin'.

the tatt has been there for a while, stace. just a barb wire with shamrock vine intertwined. one shamrock for each child. it is perfect for me. i'm 100% mick--that'll never change. i have 3 angels, and with god's blessing i'll always have them with me. and if there is a future ms. rags in the picture, i can always add shamrocks to the vine.

see, i actually DO think before i act. haha

[lietuvaite]

shaved and everything.

all that's missing is the oil

[the duke]

LOL it was probably there the chippendale night huh?? I've been to a footy club ball where the boys were topless waiters...NICE :)

[ragmop]

LOL it was probably there the chippendale night huh?? I've been to a footy club ball where the boys were topless waiters...NICE :)

i am prolly gonna blow what little cred i have with this next admission:

but the pic was about 2 weeks after the halloween party. aaaaaaanyway, since having it waxed, m'lady really likes, and i have to admit i seem to like it. soooooo . . . i had it done again.

i can see Mr. C.'s response already, so i am just going to save the boy some typing:

"Rags = Metro-sexual :cool:"

. . . so bring it on m'man. i can take it.

[the duke]

metro-sexual isn't a bad thing...I bet any girl prefers a hairless guy to an ape...same as us girls waxing everywhere ;)

[lietuvaite]

aaaaaaanyway, since having it waxed, m'lady really likes, and i have to admit i seem to like it. soooooo . . . i had it done again.

wow, i'm impressed b/c waxing hurts like hell!! :eek:

[ragmop]

actually it did hurt. but i had the funniest waxer, so we had fun with it. i was her first chest, and evidently she found my reactions hilarious. she bet me that i would be back. she won.

[Mr. Cleanface]

I got my sack, taint, and ass waxed tonight.

Y'all want me to post pics?

:D

[ragmop]

I got my sack, taint, and ass waxed tonight.

[sway2sway]

I got my sack, taint, and ass waxed tonight.

Y'all want me to post pics?

:Deewwwwggghhh. at the risk of sounding uncultured (hahahahaha), I know what a sack and an ass would be. I'm just guessing a taint would lie somewhere in the vicinity????
taint
to taint
tainter
tainted
?:eek:

[ragmop]

sway:

"taint" = space between the unmentionables, as in "taint sack and taint a**hole" (on a man at least. i will let you figure out the female counterpart to "sack")

[sway2sway]

oh, so it's not a penis, hopefully that wouldn't need too much waxing(:eek: ) but it does seem like a good name for it. "I'm going to taint you." "Beware of my tainter." -more of a verb definition. This taint you speak of sounds more like a descriptive noun definition. I believe we are discussing the perineum.
nice morning banter

[sauce.baby]

took a quickie holiday pic of the sauce fam this morning.. thought i'd share it with ya :)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v40/mamadubbin/famxmas06s.jpg

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i60/marley_lin/100_1413.jpg

[lietuvaite]

you should give her one of the glass sea horses you ordered, sway. nah, i'm just kidding, i remember you don't want to share them. hope her birthday is fun for the whole family

[sway2sway]

awwh, I was just kidding about that too, I'd give her the moon, the sun, I'd give her it all...

[Barefoot2Dream]

Yah Happy Birthday to Marley! That is a good looking cake, darling. ;)

[tinkerlion]

the news mentioned that part of georgia will be getting ice, but the ground won't be cold enough for anything to actually stick. but still when i go to the grocery store tonight i see people stocking up on milk and bread like they're going to be trapped in their house for a week.:rolleyes:

[the duke]

Nice pics Stace :) It's funny, children grow up so fast (i see it through cousins and 2nd cousins) and then you wonder where time went!

So here's some pics of me on my birthday...we're well into summer here...MASSIVELY hot days and nights...calls for summer dresses huh??

Cute kiddies Barefoot...it's always good to spend some good days doing fun things :)

hahaha i didn't do it. their grandparents bought them matching jackets last year and they love them. and the pants used to be just cyrus' but they both fit into them and they're their favorite pants at the moment.
i rarely tell them what to wear anymore..

[Barefoot2Dream]

i rarely tell them what to wear anymore..

oh lord, if I did that my son would wear nothing but camo all the time ;) I will be so glad when his "army man" phase is over.

stace and barefoot, your children are beautiful!

[the duke]

oh lord, if I did that my son would wear nothing but camo all the time ;) I will be so glad when his "army man" phase is over.

That's so funny :D I think I'd make a bad mum...I'd tell them what to wear all the time!!

[tinkerlion]

oh lord, if I did that my son would wear nothing but camo all the time ;) I will be so glad when his "army man" phase is over.

my nephew has been like that for going on 9 years now. of course during a few of those years he didn't get to make the decision, but now he's camo crazy as well:rolleyes:

[sauce.baby]

ah i love pulling off suprise parties!! [that pint ROCKS btw]
joel is THE hardest person to suprise, but i managed to pull a combined good luck & happy early b-day last summer before he left for field training [he had to celebrate his 30th during field training. it was awesome lol he got so much shit for it]. didn't have a clue! his sister still asks me how i did it lol

[tinkerlion]

it was great on another level because i'm terrible at keeping secrets. i was happy that i didn't give it away!

yeah, eric gets beer glasses for many occasions. beer selection was also a key factor. had to be good stuff:rolleyes:.

[lietuvaite]

surprise parties are fun; good job pulling it off

[sauce.baby]

it was great on another level because i'm terrible at keeping secrets. i was happy that i didn't give it away!

yeah, eric gets beer glasses for many occasions. beer selection was also a key factor. had to be good stuff:rolleyes:.
i always find joel cool shot glasses whenever i have to travel somewhere overnight without him lol

if i had money, i'd send you a selection of McMenamin's beer [local brewer]. BEST. BEER. EVER.

[apricot girl]

so this is me:
http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q69/columbusgirl/menblowpipes.jpg
blowing glass
yeah ha ha

[sway2sway]

is it hard?:)

[apricot girl]

not sure if I should answer that, but no it isn't. it's easy, but takes practice...it's fun stuff.

[tinkerlion]

i always find joel cool shot glasses whenever i have to travel somewhere overnight without him lol

if i had money, i'd send you a selection of McMenamin's beer [local brewer]. BEST. BEER. EVER.

do they ship? what's their website. eric is really into pale ales, but likes all sorts. he's kind of a beer snob. it's fun for me to pick out beers for him since i can't drink them. i generally do pretty well.

[sauce.baby]

i don't know if they ship, but i can provide you with a homepage (http://www.mcmenamins.com/)!

[BoPicasso]

I would love to learn how to do that. I love blown glass

[apricot girl]

there are lots of places that teach glass blowing, if you really want to learn. otherwise you can buy blown glass from people like me and support the arts!

[apricot girl]

had to share this photo...Stella is a crack up! she was convinced that there was something good for her in there. She was browsing the fridge long enough for me to go get the camera from the other room...
http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q69/columbusgirl/stellapiggy.jpg

[tinkerlion]

stella kinda looks like my cat zuke. he loves to get in the fridge in the summer. and if you have olives around him you must share. :)

[lietuvaite]

tink, did you bake the yummy cookie?

[sway2sway]

apricot girl, I'm coveting your jar of brightly colorered candies, caranuba wax shining sweetly by the light of the fridge. I steal candies.
tink, I don't want nothing to do with the dick shaped cookiecracker, no offense, it just doesn't look good, maybe with a side of 'he sause' for dipping, still not sure. is that dick gluten free?

[tinkerlion]

i had nothing to do with baking those cookies. they were not gluten free so i did not indulge in them.

[apricot girl]

mmm...peanut m&m's are the best from the fridge. even better from the freezer...

[Barefoot2Dream]

your fridge looks too well organized for me. ;) Betchya if my fridge looked like that my husband still couldn't find anything in it without my help.

[LipstickVogue]

apricot girl, from behind at least, your cat looks like my Citrus. He trys to get in to the fridge as well but that is because i feed him turkey and other things from it. incidentally, tink, Citrus is crazy over olives as well. maybe is the salt. or maybe he is just a piggy. he loves avacadoes too.

[apricot girl]

stella loves fruit, esp grapes and kiwis. and cheese.

[CaraD.]

this is my child... Pheobe and she is cross-eyed.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v700/golfgurl/pheobe4.jpg

[tinkerlion]

my cat tink is cross eyed as well. do you find that pheobe has any vision problems? tink is only 4 but when we're playing with toys you can see she can't quite judge distance right. if she's really tired she might miss a jump now and then. i just hope the problem doesn't get worse (although she's spot on with smacking the dog on the head just now:D )

[apricot girl]

aw what a cutie! i didn't get to se stella as a kitten. when I adopted her she was already about 2

[apricot girl]

it looks like that photo was taken from inside the shower...

[CaraD.]

it looks like that photo was taken from inside the shower...

my cat is insane! she likes to get in the shower as soon as i get out and likes to get her paws wet, but mostly she sits on the ledge. Her other shower trick is I have to leave the faucet running just slightly because she likes to drink her water that way, she barely drinks out of a bowl and when she does, she spills it... like she knocks it over. she's a mess, but i just love her.

here's another pic.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v700/golfgurl/n114400049_30079448_7887.jpg

[LipstickVogue]

my cat mel used to do the same thing, cara. he just didnt like bowls. also, loco, my parents' cat liked to climb down in the toilet to get wet and he would also play in the shower. he would walk back and forth while i was in the shower and want me to pet him. as soon as i was done that cat was in there splashing around.

oh and here is an amazing picture of a place my friend spotted in New Orleans, a couple of hours before the first show... don't mind me in the pic, I was on a plane all morning----

notice it says "GLASS BLOWERS AT WORK NOW" how great is that!

[apricot girl]

i blow glass every friday night

[sauce.baby]

i blow GLaSS every friday night
i'm sorry.. but that still kills me! even first thing in the morning :cool:

[apricot girl]

i posted that just for you sb. ha!

[LipstickVogue]

i havent posted a new pic in a while so here is one of josh, doing one of the things he does best. i just love this boy.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/Evenatari/drums.jpg

[sauce.baby]

hooray for hot drummers! i can't wait until we have room for mr sauce to get a drum set again.

i love josh's hair, btw.

[LipstickVogue]

me too! that is one of my favorite things about josh - his pretty curls. i cant wait - im gonna photograph him as alexander the great. im re-creating greek sculptures and pottery paintings and because he has curls and the other guys have short short hair josh gets to be Alexander the great.

[tinkerlion]

so i got a new lion from eric as well as a smart ass comment about keeping them in my studio ( i keep the door shut so the animals don't get into stuff they shouldn't.) so when cleaning today i decided to do something about it

now we can see them whenever we're in the bedroom:p

[sway2sway]

i love josh's hair, btw.
i love his camel toe equivalent, is that a moose claw? ;)
(i'm sorry, I can't help myself)

[sway2sway]

tink, I was gonna call you a nutbarphreako, but then I realized I've already showed the picture of my too many plastic bathroom seahorses. sheepishness, jeepersness

[sway2sway]

well, it's not fair to make fun of others without offering yourself up for crucifixtion as well, I think. My daughter took this picture of me this afternoon, wearing my 'new' dress that I just got at 50% off day at Value Village, that's $3.99, i especially like the big silver ring zipper pull. I bought my daughter some pink plaid pants, she chose a turquoise turtle neck to complement the outfit, and of course a barbie, this barbie has painted on glittery underwear, I suspect she is a thinly disguised stripper barbie. Every time we go shopping there, she gets a $2 barbie, she thinks the store is called barbie village...

[LipstickVogue]

(i'm sorry, I can't help myself)

that's hilarious. especially since i noticed that too and wonderd if I should show him that picture of himself. not only does he not like pics of himself, hes really shy about sex and the like so I thought this picture might embarass him.

[sway2sway]

ha ha, you don't show it to him, but you post it on a forum....it really is a nice picture though, I doubt it was there when he was standing, things just change when a person sits down, redistribution of wealth and all....:)

[LipstickVogue]

well, he has seen a proof sheet of the entire shoot, so he has seen it.. but i didnt show him the larger printout. and thanks for saying it was a nice picture. i was really happy with it, "moose claw" aside. im going to have to keep using that now, it makes me giggle.

[sway2sway]

I just heard 'moose claw' last week. It was funny cause I was reading in the paper about the Pickton trial, a very notorious murdering pig farmer, whose farm was about an hour from where I live...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Pickton and they showed this picture of some friend that tipped off the authroites enabling them to obtain a search warrent. oh my lord, this guy had his faded blue jeans hiked up to his rib cage and the biggest man camel toe I'd ever seen, looked like a curvy capital W, anyway I was informed there was a name for this, the moose claw...who knew?

poor bacon's in heat. it was this or keep her locked up in the bathroom all the time. i still think she's going to kill me in my sleep tonight:D

[Rensul]

poor bacon...one of our friend's dogs is in heat right now...he has her in little girls panties with a hole cut out for her tail (which she can take off)...I think your diaper system will work better...

[lietuvaite]

i am glad i don't have a dog, because i don't think i would be able to put a diaper or underwear on it

[tinkerlion]

she's doing better than expected with the diaper, only taken it off the first time. we'll see if it lasts through the night tonight:rolleyes: . she is so getting fixed when this is over.

[tinkerlion]

i am glad i don't have a dog, because i don't think i would be able to put a diaper or uderwear on it


well, you'll be getting your fair share of diaper duties soon enough!

[lietuvaite]

well, you'll be getting your fair share of diaper duties soon enough!

i can't believe i've only got two more months :eek:

[tinkerlion]

i know! how's the name deciding going?

[lietuvaite]

if it's a boy - Justin Anthony (Justin is my uncle's middle name, who has been like a father to me; Anthony is my husband's and dad's middle name)

if it's a girl - Adriana or Juliana; haven't decided on a middle name yet, maybe Valentina (my mom's name)

[tinkerlion]

i like them very much! i guess things are really starting to fall into place for you huh?

[lietuvaite]

it is pretty overwhelming, but everything does seem to fall into place - we are anxiously awaiting the day!

[the duke]

Here's our new doggy that we just got....he's a 3 yr old English Springer Spaniel...called Euan :) It means The swift one in Gaelic. So far the 'old' doggy is letting him know quite clearly who's boss...but they'll get there.

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g188/Asharr3/euan.jpg

[sway2sway]

gorgeous

[Rensul]

cute pup:) :)

[lietuvaite]

have fun w/the new dog, duke. he is a cutey :)

[the duke]

well, a few more days in and the old dog is starting to get used to him...

Any tips on how to make them be mates???

[tinkerlion]

haven't had to do that with 2 dogs in a while, but when we added a dog to the mix we mostly had to give the cats time to warm up to her. we also focused on giving everyone individual love time as well.

at the in-laws we try to get the two dogs to play at the same time. it's been a little bit of work (mostly because the interaction is about once a week.)

good luck duke, hope they start to get along real soon.

[Miss Shark]

Good luck Duke!! Darling pup!!!

A few tips that helped us....feed the dogs on either side of a door, so that when they eat they smell each other, and associate that smell with food. Also, spray them both with your favorite fragrance, not too much, it's supposed to help.

[the duke]

this old dog/new dog thingy is SO tiring! So far, they're fine in the park together, and as I type they're both at the door wanting to come in (there's a chippie at our house so they're not allowed in), but when I took them for a run, the old dog, Houston, wouldn't let Euan get into the car. She growled and snarled and barked...I don't know!!

I'm so hoping that they get along...my dad thinks it'll be a few weeks...wish it'd hurry up!!!

[Miss Shark]

Here's our gals, Grace, Linda Lou & Maggie respectively.

http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s127/RebeccaLB/IMG_xmas.jpg

[sway2sway]

congrats on those beautiful babes, not to mention 19 years of marriage...wow. I'm always amazed at women that have the capacity/urge to have kids, wham, wham wham. After I had my son, it was like 4 years before I was ready to even start thinking that again, and even after that I waited a few more years for good measure.

[Miss Shark]

I must confess, we've only been married for 16 and half years. The middle one was a 'oh my!! I thought I just had the flu!!!!', and after that, it was like, aw heck what's one more? Are we done? Oh yeah, having had 3 in diapers at the same time, and with the youngest turning 2 on May day, I'm looking foreward to that, the diaper, part of my life being over. Also having been pregnant, and or, nursing for 4 years, except for, and I kid you not, 1 month off between the youngest 2, that book is closed, slammed shut, locked down, super glued.....

[tinkerlion]

you have a beautiful family. 3 in diapers at the same time?! wow.

[lietuvaite]

your daughters are adorable, miss shark. it must be fun having three daughters

[ramble on rose]

Miss Shark thoses are three little beauties you have there. One love.

[the duke]

Heh, cute kiddies :)

[Miss Shark]

Thanks guys, I tried to find a recent one of all three together, sans the red glowing eyes, were you could see all of their faces to no avail.

Sway, I've gotta say I think you are far braver than I, for going back to baby mode after having been gone so long. It seemed the logical thing to me to just keep plugging along...wham, wham, wham. (:

[the duke]

hmm...it's always good as a "not going to be a mum for a LOOOOONG time" to hear different sides...god knows I hear enough at one of my jobs...all about the birth bit..that's tough to stomach! :)

[angischy]

I like their jammies! We always had ones like that as kids, I liked them but remember my feet sweating in them. :p lol It's funny the little things you remember from childhood.
And wow, those are some HUGE stockings! What did you all use to fill those up with? My goodness! You could have a whole other child in there! :eek:

[Miss Shark]

Tissue lots of tissue, and then tons of art supplies, topped off with a Dr Suess character. Go Dog Go!!!

[sway2sway]

miss shark, I guess there are always reasons at the time why the children get born when they do, whatever fits at the time, each to her own situation n' all. I had my degree to do in between and I guess after that I just couldn't give up on the dream of having a girl named Marley. I love Go Dog Go. When I was little, I wanted to go to that dog party SO bad. It looked like the funnest thing ever.

Hey Duke, have I got a couple birth stories for you....heh heh heh, it involves placenta accreta and a man's arm up to the elbow , inside my hoo ha, peeling away the placenta that does not want to leave it's cushy home. I'll spare you the actual gory details. but once you are a mama, you'll know that it is hard to resist the urge to give the play by play, it's like a grandpa that won't shut up about his war wounds.

[ramble on rose]

I agree sway, I never get tired of telling the story of the day my daughter was born. Duke, I was scared, hell terrified of the thought of giving birth, and as I looked to my friends for thier play by play I was dissapointed to learn all of them had c-sections! However, when the time finally arrives you are more then ready and prepared to handle the situation.
Also have to add that we too are fans of Go Dog Go! I have a great time changing up voices in the story and when we get to the end my little one loves to appoint everyone we know as a dog at the party. Rock on. One love.

[ragmop]

aww, man, i have to interject a short story. my son, connor, absolutely loved Go Dog Go!. he would squeal and read along in the excited voice when we got to the dog party. everynight for months it was the last thing he read before lights out. great memories.

[lietuvaite]

when the time finally arrives you are more then ready and prepared to handle the situation.

i hope so, because the thought is getting scarier as my due date nears; less than two months to go :eek: :eek:

but i got a great ultrasound picture of our baby's face yesterday, which is absolutely incredible. i can't believe i can actually see a face and i swear i can even see my husband's family's chubby cheeks on our baby (and he agrees!)

i can't wait, even though i'm scared :)

[tinkerlion]

you'll do great! and you and your husband will get the summer to stay home with the baby, right?! that's great timing!

[the duke]

oh yeah, i'm scared and I'm not even preggers!

I couldn't even imagine the arm up to the elbow getting the placenta...that sucks! But you're right...so many people tell their stories...and I'm sure I"ll tell mine (if there is one).

[sauce.baby]

aww, man, i have to interject a short story. my son, connor, absolutely loved Go Dog Go!. he would squeal and read along in the excited voice when we got to the dog party. everynight for months it was the last thing he read before lights out. great memories.
asher always insisted that they were having a birthday party because of the ginormous cake they were eating. so, everytime i finished, he had to sing happy birthday to the dogs before i could close the book :rolleyes:

my favorite tho, is when we're driving around, once in a while as i'm coming up to a red light the boys will yell out, "stop mom stop! the light is red!" then appropriatly, "go mom go! it's green ahead!" when it changes.



the best i've got for labor horror stories; 32 hours of pitocin induced labor [15 without pain killers] that included 3 hours of pushing. i was so exhausted by the end, i was falling asleep inbetween pushes. poor cyrus had a 6 inch cone head and his ears were stuck to the side of his head for a week.

[lietuvaite]

you'll do great! and you and your husband will get the summer to stay home with the baby, right?! that's great timing!

yep, both my husband and i are taking off the rest of the school year to stay home with the baby, and then we have the summer off... you're right, the timing worked out well for us!

i got to spend the day with my niece 6, nephew 9, and second cousin 4. always a fun time.

[angischy]

Fun Tink.
Funny about the thing your niece is doing with her mouth. That was my niece's favorite silly camera pose about a year ago. Six must be the age for that.
I was cracking up like "where did you learn that, and why do you think it's funny?" but she thought she was hilarious.
Something about kids getting used to what they look like and then cracking up when they can alter that image and identity. It's like playing dress up. Ahh...to be young and goofy and just play all day long again. Who ever came up with the concept of money and working, huh? They suck!

Speaking of...here's my 7-year-old niece, LeLu & her kitty Marley on her birthday, which also happens to be Christmas.
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a99/angischy/LeLuKitty.jpg

And us together getting our nails done together at the beauty school...her first time.
(Wow, what a production, but it was a worthy exercise in patience for her and we had fun! That's just the sort of auntie I am. Playful and goofy...hmmm)
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a99/angischy/LeLusFirstManiPedi.jpg

[sauce.baby]

Don't they do a caesar when that stuff happens??
i guess not with me lol that and it depends on the doctor/hospital and how scalpel happy they are.
the 3hrs of pushing really ended up being their fault, tho.. they had me laying down FLAT [which basically causes the vaginal canal to point upwards. add in gravity which pulls down, and yeah, pushing became one step forwards, two steps back.]
when i had asher, i asked to sit up during pushing and voila, i was able to push out a 10lb baby in 15 minutes [cyrus was only 8lb 9oz].
gah :rolleyes:

[lietuvaite]

angi, cute pic w/ your niece. i love that she is also wearing a pink top and camouflage; she obviously adores you. you must be the cool and fun aunt :cool:

tink, cute pic, too

[tinkerlion]

bacon now has her summer do. all the other dogs on the block are gonna wish they had this stylish mohawk:cool:

[the duke]

awww...that's a poor dog! cute though :)

[Miss Shark]

Great pic angi!!! I'm not a real girly girl, but I can't wait till the chicklettes are old enough for a spa day.

How's the dog doing duke?

That might just be a first tink. I like it.

[lietuvaite]

tink, now bacon needs a t-shirt from cbgb's :D

[sway2sway]

all the other dogs on the block are gonna wish they had this stylish mohawk:cool:


or as my mama said when she saw my first mohawk, "well, it looks like better birth control than I could have helped you get." I was 16 at the time, guess that's about the same physiological age as bacon, though the same probably doesn't hold true in dog world.

[the duke]

well...here's the pics. I finally dug out the cord for my mobile phone, and here's my poor puppy...

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g188/Asharr3/Bucket1.jpg
http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g188/Asharr3/Bucket2.jpg

She got her stitches out today, and the elizabethan collar is off, except that she keeps licking the spots where her stitches were, SO the bucket might have to go back on....

[Miss Shark]

aaw....that poor thing. I think she's very lucky if she only had to have stitches on her front leg. Had she bruised up your shins by pumping into you with her very stylish 'elizabethan' collar?

[sway2sway]

I didn't know those had such a fancy name, I just thought they were just the cone head things, oh the doggy degredation.

[the duke]

hehe, the bandage is where they put the IV in for her anaesthetic...she had stiches in her top elbow, the back of her other leg and in her foot...

Now the collar is off permenantly...she's much better now...Euan comes back this weekend so we'll see what happens!

[Barefoot2Dream]

Feels like forever since I posted anything new. Wishing you all the beautiful weather we've been enjoying out here in sunny CA.

We are expecting snow...yes snow. We've had record highs, record snow falls, this years been nutty so far. Can't wait to see what summer brings.

[sway2sway]

those are very cute barefoot.

here's one of my daughter at the river this weekend, well actually in a mud pit

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i60/marley_lin/ssss/mud.jpg

the next couple are a different river, more of a look at river, not a get your toes wet river,

[tinkerlion]

sway and barefoot, now ya'll made me want to go play in the mud. hopefully it will warm back up soon. i actually saw a little snow on my way into work today:eek:

[Amy_Luvs_G]

Hey Sway,
Where are you in those pictures of the river? It's beautiful, nothing like the dirty Ohio River here!:( Anyhoo, nice pics!

[Barefoot2Dream]

She's getting so big, Sway! That is a beautiful looking river.

[Miss Shark]

Did you take those sway? You have a great eye!!!!!

I too can't wait for barefoot, wiggle your toes in the mud weather.

[sway2sway]

I was drinking lemonade and vodkas with a vengeance, wandering about without shoes on, creating bruises on the soles of my feet about the size and color of unpeeled kiwis.
we have lots of beautiful rivers, i take solace in that, since the ocean is at least 2 hours away.
and yeah barefoot, Marley is a big girl, bigger (and smarter) than most other 4 year olds, said her mama without a hint of bias

[Miss Shark]

so is that a yes?



Grace is a big girl too. Off the charts for height, and always has been. Daddy's tall. She's already mastered the computer, has her own playlist on iTunes, loves to run the photos on iPhoto, and can get to her book marks on the web and print out pages to color.

All these brilliant kids about makes me hopeful for the future.

[sway2sway]

so that was a no.

[Barefoot2Dream]

how 'bout a maybe? I prefer maybe. It still leaves the anticipation of something to look forward to.....

[sauce.baby]

everybody needs a bosom for a pillow..

and a crotch to keep your toes warm

and

barefoot, great pics - i especially love the second one w/ the foot peeking out from behind the ear

[Miss Shark]

Thanks guys.

I try my best lietuvaite, but sometimes the right combo of a look with a head tilt, or a little foot move one has, can be very disarming indeed.

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i60/marley_lin/100_1925.jpg

The first two were my cutie pie daughter, the third one is my shaggy haired son. This last one is me and I have to explain my surly expression a little; it sure wasn't for want of a beautiful sunshiney day. I was trying to get my daughter to put the strap of the camera on because I thought she was going to drop it in the sand. As well, a mama and her 1 year old and her 4 year old came and plunked down right within my wide personal perimeter. Now these next few facts, I try not to mention because I know they make me appear prejudiced, considering my lil' boobies and au natural facade, but so be it. This mama had a painfully obvious implanted chest, busting out of her tank top, fake & baked skin to a glorious bronze, probably shade #17 caramel cum, hoochie make up, etcetera, etcetera. But worse than all that was the low class, low intellect that seems so often to be coupled with all those first factors (see that's where the potential prejudice comes in).
Anyway she gets her 2 kids in this little inflatable boat, she starts pulling the rope, zig zagging them around, going "weeeee, weeeee". The 4 year old boy starts to cry, she says something like, " what are you doing, why are you crying, Marcus is such a pussy" :eek: Marcus is the 4 year old. Then to the kid's grandama, she just keeps going on and on about it, it's so crazy that a 1 year old would have more balls than a 4 year old, guess we know who'll be doing the peer pressuring later on, she just wants to get into everything, no he doesn't want to do that, no he doesn't want to go there. Then they're all getting into a big inflatable, which is quite a production and she finally yells, for the benefit of all the children all the beach ,"Sit the fuck down!!!!" (we're a happy family, we're a happy family)
anyway, rant, rant, but you know the things some kids have to grow up with, even if theyve got enough food in their bellys and a warm place to sleep, there is a lot of other shit out there for kids to make it through.

[Miss Shark]

Looks like a funny day at the beach pretty mama. I don't think you look surly at all. I love how your daughter has all the dolphins lined up in a row. It's so cute when they do things like that.

Don't you wish people like that foul mouthed (and I'd like to add so much more but I won't) mother, could see themselves through someone elses eyes just once, or better yet through the eyes of their children.

[sway2sway]

well thanks miss shark. my daughter is all about collections of things, sorting them, arranging them, moving them, could be bottlecaps or rocks for all she cares sometimes.
yeah I felt bad for those kids, learn what you live, huh?
the total absence of insight on her part makes me think too, what are the things I have no insight around? we all have them, things it takes time and experience to realize or change your perspective on-- though some people must get stuck. the way my life is going right now, I'd really be curious to have my insights from 10 years down the road, and have em' right now, but that ain't the way the game is played, now is it.

[tinkerlion]

that makes me think of the football game i went to this morning. i'm haning out with my girlfriend watching her son play and there's a small child left totally unsperivised for at least 20 minutes. we kept an eye on her, but luckily the mother came back before we had to get her out of the trash can she was trying to climb in. that was just one of the several parents who really just paid no mind what so ever to very small children. then there was the douche yelling at his 3 year old to go away. according to my friend that's how he mostly deals with all 4 of his children.

it looks like the kids were having a good time sway. how old is your son?

[sway2sway]

he's 10
and that's a few years passed thinking mama knows everything

[the duke]

oh mate, wait until he's 15...that'll be a good one :)

That mum and her kids... i feel sorry for them...when I was growing up playing basketball as a junior, I remember parents left right and centre yelling obscenities at the referees...my dad never did, and when we went to away games, he always sat away from the other parents because he was embarrassed at their manner...

[Miss Shark]

my daughter is all about collections of things, sorting them, arranging them, moving them, could be bottlecaps or rocks for all she cares sometimes.

Grace was very into leaves. Everytime we stepped outside she had to find one. I pressed a bunch in a book for her.

I wonder how hard it'll be on us when my girls realize that their parents are not the center of the universe...

So very true for me as well lietuvaite. You get to see a whole new side of them. He is very good with them.

I don't know if boys differ from girls in this way, bur our girls can sit rapt for ever listening to stories of what we did with them when they were babies. Even if it's as simple as Daddy sitting on the very chaise I'm sitting on now curled up with big B watching hockey, still brings the sweetest of smiles to her face.

Fun tink!! Are those bells?

[tinkerlion]

yes bells! i jingle when i walk:D (oh, it's all in the little things that entertain me!)

[lietuvaite]

another reason tink had to get a pedicure is to show off the anklet! i love getting my first pedicure for the summer and breaking out the sandles... it's one of my little joys. very nice, tink. does your cat (or do you have more than one?) chase you when you are wearing it?? or bacon?

[tinkerlion]

since i'm on my feet so much i get pedicures year round.

i have two cats but they don't chase the bells. although one has started to chatter when he hears it. as for bacon, well she pretty much follows me around all the time unless she's following bacon around that is:rolleyes:

bonnaroo was alot of fun this year. heard some great music and picked up some new bands to explore. camping with angi was a blast as well. since she's in the process of moving home for the summer she had everything in her car! she also remembers to take the camera out, where i tend to leave it in the case too often. i did manage to get a few pictures.

i very much like your avocado sundress tink, i need (correct that to want) a sundress with the elastic (albeit itchy) top part, like when I was little.
who did you see?

[tinkerlion]

thanks sway, it's such a comfortable dress.

i saw mute math, the new orleans klezmer allstars, rx bandits, paolo nutini, lily allen, manu chao (one of the bands i'll checking out,) the slip, regina spektor (great performance, she was so happy to be there,) gogol bordello (another of the bands that stuck with me,) ween, the police (angi has pictures when we got right up next to the stage,) the flaming lips for like 20 minutes, galactic, firecracker jazz band, john butler trio (favorite set for me,) and heard tool and string cheese from our camp along with a few other bands. it was nice wandering around and just listening to what was going on.

I bought one of those last summer...I think I was just behind the style on that when I was a kid...my 33 yr old sister wore them though. I love it...except that I have no boobs to hold it up, therefore, I wear a tanktop over it sometimes.

[lietuvaite]

tink, glad you had a good time this year (if i remember correctly, last year the heat and all got to you)

[tinkerlion]

cute dress duke.

yes leit, last year sucked. it was heat and distance from centeroo.

[sway2sway]

yeah, very nice pattern duke, I think I'd be tugging at the dress too, without the straps, actually know, not think.

I took these pictures last night, thinking the overdone (but for a reason) sentiment of people near and far staring up at the same moon.

[sway2sway]

it's weird how it comes out so relatively tiny, when it looked so much bigger in the sky, ha ha, or was that just in my eye?

[Miss Shark]

Glad you guys had a nice time Tink

Too funny sway, I tried the same thing, for much the same reason, a few weeks ago. I can't believe that I haven't deleted these yet. It really was amazing to see.

http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s127/RebeccaLB/IMG_1884.jpg

[sway2sway]

yeah that is kind of funny. I was thinking the other day how interesting it is that you can meet someone (well quasi-meet in this case) and how connected you can feel through common past experience, a trajectory of experience I guess. I'm a sucker for the 'click' , if you know what I mean.

[Miss Shark]

I hear ya. This internet is odd I tell ya. I stumbled upon a Chicago punk site with a forum, and have now spoken with people I haven't seen nor heard from in many many years, including my first real boy friend. I'm very happy that he's even talking to me becasue he still calls me the first love of his life, and I'm fairly certain that I broke is heart. Oh well, the things that you'll do when you're 18....

[the duke]

Sway, great pictures...I love the colours of the sky and it looks really cool with the trees in the picture too...just a shadow...great :)

yeah, the moon is an amazing thing, except i see it the opposite to you all :)

[angischy]

bonnaroo was alot of fun this year....
camping with angi was a blast as well.

Might I echo that by saying that I had TONS of fun with Tink and her husband. They are such a fun, nice couple, very easy-going and kept me from getting lonely...yes, that can happen even in the middle of a crowd of 80,000 people, if you don't know many of them!


...remembers to take the camera out...

Oh yes indeed I do. :rolleyes:
I'll post a link shortly as I get all my pix uploaded.
For now, you can check my Bonnaroo album on my MySpace page (cuz I'm feelin kinda lazy after my 1500 mile roadtrip!)
