I am now a woman!

I have always imagined that I would reach my maturity after I accomplished a few things in my life.

1. Having my car break down and being able to call dad without tears and snot bubbles. I have successfully done this several times, I have even learned how to deal with it myself (but dad always gets a call no matter what.)

2. Doing things that you REALLY don't want to do, but you do them because it's kind of a do or die type of thing. I can now check this off of my list. Today I cleaned Christopher's porch.

Now you may be asking yourself why this is such a big deal, it's just a porch and everyone will have to clean one at some point. NOT THE CASE. Lets just say I lost count of how many spiders I saw and attempted to kill after 150. NOT EVEN JOKING, 150!! That was only in the first hour or so.

Now if you recall a couple of posts earlier you will see the skill that was put forth to the spare bedroom. I did this porch BY MYSELF. Yes, this is me wanting compliments because this is possibly one of the worst things I will have to do in my life!! Below some pictures are posted for your viewing pleasure.





These are two are of the top of the freezer which apparently I broke by unplugging it for a whole minute. Ugh. Anyway, these is coated in nastyness.



Once again, if you go back several posts you may find a trip to the punkin patch with Jack and Patty. While there Jack found this "claw finger." Not really sure what it's used for, but it was given to Chris who hide it from me so I couldn't throw it away. He hid it on top of the freezer, sph, he thought I'd never look there...only a year later!!!


I like to think I am a spider hunter. Hunters run in the family you know!


Just one of the MANY different kinds of spideys


Here is a small list of things I found OTHER than spiders.
-3 bar-b-quers, yes 3!
-A fishing pole
-A dead bird
-HALF of a dead cat. I dk about the other half.
-3 bags of garbage that never made it to the garbage can
-3 bags of soda cans that never got recycled
-A closet full of hunting clothes
-Discs for disc golfing
-A bottle for of one of Chris' friends' urine...I was VERY angry about thing

I feel I have grown a lot from this experience and feel so grateful I could share it with you. I officially feel like I am over qualified to be his wife. If this doesn't show my dedication I don't know what will.

Here is one after shot. I still plan on sanding and painting the floor, that'll happen after we're actually married though

I think I better check this out for you mom...

I must say that I have the best dog in the world. She is ALWAYS willing to taste test my food to make sure it's not poisoned, she ALWAYS will warm my spot on the couch for me (no one likes cold buns right?), and last but not least, she is ALWAYS willing to get rid of anything in my life that may be interfering with her numero uno position in my heart.

Today was a lazy day, I got up early, made home-made pizza for lunch, went and hung out with Chris' family, went for a run, then cleaned a little. I don't have to change my gerbils cage often because unlike hamsters they don't stink (I made a good choice), but it was indeed time to change.

Whenever we change Petunia's cage Lilly always has to get up in her business and is worried that this little gerbil may be my new best friend. Have no fears, Lilly inspectaged for us =)


I spent many dollars buying my gerbil little homes to find she would chew them all to nothing. Lucky for me my boyfriend has a fetish with cardboard so I am always able to find cheap houses for her. Hence the shotgun shell boxes.



Gerbil is too good for Lilly. There is a whole lot of estrogen going on in this house =)

A stinky update!

Well word on the street has it that the anonymous skunk hunter has gotten more! That's a total of 7...how many more could possibly still be alive? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I spy with my little eye....

SOMETHING MESSY!


This is Chris' spare bedroom. The past year it has become his room where he puts everything that has no other place. Note: The only thing I had in there was christmas decorations, and some hamster cages minus the hamsters.

Another view: the pics don't even do the justice.





Let it be said that Chris looses motivation very easily so I took it upon myself to dictate what needed to be done. Chris thinks he should be in charge.


Apparently my commentary on how things should be done is not welcome...


Lilly is really good at helping...don't forget to notice everything that got moved into the living room


Chris got to take the lead... boo.


Since Lilly is a lazy bully she lots interest quickly


This is the point where Chris wanted to stop for lunch. I said no way!



And Finally it's finished!


Now all I have to do is move my stuff in!....Just kidding. Sort of.

New Job?

No not another one=). I did realize that I that for the past couple of years I have oh so badly wanted my own office, now that I have it-I haven't shown it off! More importantly I will share that when it gets above 90 degrees out people don't really want play with rocks, so instead I took a picture of myself. Note: I don't wear make-up to work and it rocks! (no pun intended hehe)

Duck, Duck, GOOSE!

Kristi and I have found ourseleves going on many dates that our boyfriends are yet to think of taking us on: Hawaii, and now feeding ducks. Extreme, I know. Anywho, the ducks and geese were our friends until we ran out of food. Hm, that's kind of the terms Chris likes me on =).

Americans-3, Frenchies-0.

As word has spred I must inform you that there has been a great skunk hunt in the town on Wilsonville. Since the hunter is staying anonymous, I will speak for him. Pepe Le Pew must die. When asking my father how he feels about skunks, this is the response I received.


The hunter has killed three skunks, that's three less frenchies/pepe's to be found. Mission accomplished.
