So big, I needed to be wheeled out.

Cool Dog!

I didn't know you got a dog!!! She looks cool and very friendly. Hope all is going well with that and I'm glad you rescued her. Sorry I haven't been able to keep in touch very much...been busy working and going to school and getting James used to Arizona. He moved here in September and is now working at the airport as a fuel line inspector. As for me, I'm an FES at Michael's Craft Store down on southern and price. Hard work and many hours on my feet. I close the store almost everyday of the week and on saturdays I open. Haven't even had time to post on my blogger but I plan too as soon as school is over this semester and I have more time.

You'll have to send me your address so I can send you a Christmas card. James wants me and him to take pictures with Blue and send those out. We don't have kids so what else do you expect right?! :) Next weekend I'm having a yard sale and I'm going to sell some figures again like last year. I think it was you who bought my garfield and otti...not sure. Anyways, that's why I'm up late tonight cause I was drawing more of those.

Better hit the hay now...James has to get up at four to go to work and I know he'll wake me up even though he tries not to. Take care, stay safe, and miss hanging with ya!!

Drunken Karaoke

Always fantasized about getting my hands on a hot nun!

Buffy raping her bed

I woke to find Buffy taking advantage of her own bed.

Dan's going away party

It was like one of those cheesy musicles. Everyone broke out in song.

New addition

This is Buffy. She is 2 1/2 years old and is a pure bread Golden Retriever. I got her from Rescue a Golden of Arizona.

Pics from Idaho vacation

Kent thought he would try a wheely...he thought wrong.



The three of us taking a boat out onto Red Fish lake. Monica stayed on land.


Dan thought he could hide from the water while Jeff was begging for it. You could say they are like opposite ends of a dipole.




Kent was trying to be sneaky with his little water bottle.







If you use your imagination, there are two very interesting scenes in this picture.


The above festive related pics are from Eagle Fun Day. It's a parade and festival of sorts. The main event entails the spectators getting soaked by the members of the parade. The spectators do get a chance to fight back however.


I rolled up the window very fast.


Jeff and Monica took off their thinking caps and decided to traverse this unstable log.


This is all that was left of the sheep after the three of us finished dinner.


The above pics were taken at and around 4th of July creek.




Red Fish lake again

Is It Fall Yet?!

I was happy to return home after our trip to Idaho and somewhat dreaded it at the same time. It meant coming home to pay those nasty bills, the junk in the air that I had been doing so perfectly well without, and the hell...I mean heat. The only thing I'm looking forward to is going to Hawaii on Wed to meet my brother. I can't wait to see what life aboard the Ronald Reagan is like. Being on the ship was supposed to be my last vaccation this summer, but yesturday I recieved an unexpected surprise...James has bought me a ticket to spend August 1st through August 17th with him in Ephrata, WA. It is so beautiful there and quite a lovely town. I fell in love with it and the weather almost immediately.

Well gotta go get ready for the Jaycess GAI convention this weekend. Take care and stay safe!! Also check out the pics of Idaho on my blogger: http://monicaandblue.blogspot.com

Adios,
Monica

IDAHO was great!!!!!!!

I'll post pictures soon. I had a great vacation. Idaho is absolutely beautiful. The idyllic landscape is breathtaking. After my next two surgeries, I'm definitely moving to Idaho. Probably Eagle.

My First Time Bowling

I had an awesome time. I plan to start bowling as often as possible. It was great fun and it's a sport I can participate in without causing my legs any pain. My elbow on the other hand was so sore, that I couldn't use it for two days. I'll need to get an elbow brace before I play again but, I will play again. Part of the problem is the weight of the ball. Because I'm bowling from a sitting position, all of the force is generated by my arm. If I were standing, the force would be generated through my arm as well as the momentum generated by lunging forward. So, a lighter ball would generate less stress on my elbow. The problem is, the weight of a ball seems to be proportional to the boring of the holes. Thus, the lighter the ball the smaller the holes. Because of this, I was forced to use a 12lb ball in order for my fingers to fit in the holes.

Anyway, bowling is COOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
