Movie reviews and some other stuff...

The last couple of days have been fairly busy. That's why I haven't blogged or anything. Yesterday I had to go get our tags renewed and today I had to take our grandma to the doctor. But today I think I have time to write a pretty nice blog. So here we go...

Well first I'm going to give you a little update on the sugar glider situation. We still haven't got one. We were so tempted to get one from a local pets store (cause they have one female) but thankfully, we refused. But it was so tempting. I'm just getting so sick of PetsWay saying that they'll have one in and then the next minute, they wont. That's why it was so tempting. It would've been a sure thing if the lady hadn't said that it was kind of mean. That's like the main reason we didn't go get it. And that it's like $50 more than what PetsWay charges. That was another factor. I called PetsWay today and talked to a lady and she said that their truck hadn't arrived yet. So I asked her to call if it did. So hopefully we get one tonight or tomorrow. That's about all of the sugar glider news. Oh, we ordered a couple things from a sugar glider site. It's http://gliderconnection.com/glider/. It's a really cool site with loads of cheap stuff. We got a wheel, some strawberry nectar, and some disposable bonding patches all for the low, low price of $10. So extremely cheap. There's also this other site that has loads and loads of different foods and treats for sugar gliders. It's http://www.exoticnutrition.com/. They also have stuff for other animals like hedgehogs and prairie dogs. They're both really cool sites.

Well, the other day we were looking into some gilder bonding pouches. We found a few really cute one, but none that were girly enough. So then LaVaughn was like, "I bet my mom could make us some." so off to her house we went. After we described them to her she seemed pretty confident about making them. So then all we had to do was pick out the material. And thankfully my wonderful aunt is an avid quilt maker, so we had loads of material to choose from. And of course, we found the perfect colors. We had a pink color for the outside, a tan fuzzy inside, an awesome color for the lining around the mesh window and some mesh off of an old cat toy that she had. It was all too perfect. So today, she brought us the finished product. They are so freakin cute. She did a wonderful job. No, wonderful isn't the right word... spectacular! They look so professionally made. And one of the coolest things about them, they're one of a kind. How awesome is that? So here are some pictures of the finished product...



This is the front of one. It is so cute.


This is just a picture of both of them.


The fuzzy inside.


And this is the awesome mesh window with the lining that matches the straps. So awesome.

Ok, now for some movie reviews. Like always, we got some new movies. But these movies aren't super huge or anything. These are just some movies that we find when we aren't looking for anything in particular. The first one is called, Eden Lake. This was one of the coolest movies I've seen in a long time. It was so good. It's about a couple that goes camping. And while they're camping, they run into some trouble making kids. But these aren't your normal bullies of today. These kids are hard core. I'm not going to give you too many details. You'll have to find out more on your own. This is definitely a must see movie. I give it a 8/10. Please, go rent it today. OK, next on my list is Amusement. This wasn't a bad movie. It's mostly about a guy that got bullied as a kid and now he's seeking vengeance. It got pretty good acting in it. One girl that I've seen in more that one good movie. So I think I would give it a 7/10. That seems suitable. Next is Borderline Cult. Please, for the love of everything that's holy, don't watch this movie. It was so not good and oh so cheaply made. If I had to rate this I would give it a 2.5/10. Ok, now for Beyond The Wall Of Sleep. Most of you might know the title from the legendary horror/sci-fi writer, H.P. Lovecraft. Although nothing like the short story, it's a fairly nice take on the cult classic. I think I would give it a 5.5/10. The picture quality wasn't the greatest. Moving on to Session 9. We didn't really finish this one, but it didn't seem like it was going to be too bad. It (like Beyond The Wall Of Sleep) is about a mental hospital. It has a couple actors that I've seen in other movies, so the acting isn't super bad. But the picture quality is a little shaky. So I don't have a whole lot to go on yet. But so far I give it a 6/10. That's all that I have to rate right now. We did get some more new movies Sunday though. We got Hit and Run. Hatchet, and Lakeview Terrace. We've seen Lakeview Terrace, we just hadn't got it yet. For those of you who haven't seen it, it's awesome. But come on, it has Sam Jackson in it. How bad can it be? I'll give it a 8/10. It was super awesome. I said there wasn't anymore ratings, but there was. Sorry about that. I think that's all for now.


Well, well, well. That was a mighty long blog. Hope all of you awesome rockers enjoyed it. Until next time. Be cool and rock on!

An adorable pic of grandma that I took in the waiting room at the doctors office.

A pic that I took of myself in the bathroom. Didn't mean to close my eyes though.

And here's another one of me. But I think two pics is too many. This is probably a once in a lifetime thing that will never ever happen again, lol. Peace bitches!

Another wasted trip...

Ugh, I'm getting so sick of dealing with Petsway. We went back up there today expecting to get our sugar glider, but oh no. The still hadn't heard from the people. So we waited around there until like 3:30. Then I called again and asked if they found anything out and all she said was, "No, still nothing yet." and then I was like, "Well should I just special order one?" and she was like, "Well I already special ordered one just in case they didn't bring the other ones." and then I was like, "Oh, ok." and that was pretty much it.

Before that conversation took place we had went to Pets R Us for a little bit. Didn't really do too much there. We just walked around for a while. They have this awesome ferret tent that we need for Ben so bad. We'll so have to get that before long. That's about all with PRU though.
After we left there it was around 11:00 I think. Then we were talking about going to a pizza place called, Godfather's Pizza. We've had a few people tell us how awesome that place was. So we decided to have lunch there. And overall, it was pretty nice. The food was pretty good and the atmosphere was awesome. Nice private booths and a reasonable price. For both of us to get the buffet and a soda, it was $15. Not bad on my end. I would give the place a 7.5/10. So if you live near one, you should check it out.

After we got done eating, we went to Walmart for a while. All we needed there was cat litter and some plates for the animals. But we were in there for over an hour. We mostly dicked around and fought each other. That was pretty sweet. But that was about it.

Well, I guess that's all I'm going to yap about for now. Hope you enjoyed reading. Until next time, peace out and rock hard.

A view from our booth.

Some of the tables they have.

LaVaughn's glass.

My glass. Empty, lol.

And finally, our leftover food.

Still waiting...

And I'm not talking about the movie. We were supposed to get our sugar glider yesterday but didn't. We went to PetsWay around 4 or so and waited until like 6! And all the lady said was that they hadn't heard from the people that were bringing the sugar gliders. So we have to go back today. Well, that's pretty much it. Just a wee update for you. Peace...

Ride on...

And that's exactly what we did today.

Well first, we had to take our grandma to dialysis today. After we dropped her off and everything we went to the pet store and looked around. And in the past week or so we've been talking about getting a sugar glider. Well we watched a crap tone of videos on You Tube about sugar gliders. And they kind of freaked us out about getting one. So we asked the lady that worked at the pet store if she knew anything about sugar gliders. And thankfully, she did. And it helped so much. They don't sound that bad at all. So while we were there we got an awesome cage and a little hanging pouch.

Then after that I called my mom and asked if we could get Jake (my little brother) for the rest of the week. And to my surprise, she said yes. But the reason for that was because he got suspended... again. But that was cool with us. Considering he'd get to stay with us until Sunday. But then when we drove by her house to get his clothes, he was saying that he would just go home Friday. So that was cool with us too.

Then after we picked our grandma up we were discussing where to get a sugar glider. Then we realized that we could special order them from PetsWay. So right after we dropped our grandma off we went straight to Poplar Bluff. When we got there we talked to some guy about ordering them. And then he was like, "I think we're getting a shipment in over the weekend." so he asked some lady about it. And she confirmed it. So we asked her if she would hold one for us and she said, "Yes." We were so stoked. So now all we have to do is wait it out for like 4 days. But I think it'll be worth it.

Well, I think that's about all I have to say for now. So until next time. Peace out and rock hard.

This is just an awesome picture of Milla that I snapped.

A pretty nice pic I thought.

The very first picture of our love birds that I've posted. They are so pretty.

A little something new...

Well today we went to PB, like always. But instead of blogging about all the other places we usually go to, I thought I would blog about Pets R Us. Since my last few blogs have been coma inducing, I thought I would wake you all up with a few pictures. So here we go...



This picture was actually taken at PetsWay. It's just a bunch of adorable Hermit Crabs.

Another pic of them.

This rat was also at PetsWay. But it was just too cute to not put on here.


These are some adorable puppies that they had. They were chow and shepherd mix. You couldn't pick them up, but you could touch them.



Another pic of them.

This was another little puppy that they had. It didn't really do much while we were there. I don't think it felt very good. But it was super cute.

A few of their huge ass ferrets. They're way bigger than the ferrets at PetsWay.


Oh man, I loved this chinchilla. It was so cute. It ate the entire time we were there. The chinchillas at PetsWay a rarely seen.


This is a HUGE bearded dragon. I've never seen one this big. But it was super cute.

I'm not sure what kind of lizard this was, it just looked like a demon, lol.

Some more lizards.

They had like 50,000 snakes there. Well not that many, but a bunch. They were all over the cage.

Some awesome oscar fish.

A giant plecostomus fish they had. Never seen one this big before.

This was so sick. I can't believe people actually put diapers on their dogs. I just had to show this.

Just some updates...

I was going to update Tuesday, but I forgot. But now I have a few other things to blog about. So here we go.

As most of you know, we should have gotten our phones Monday. but oh no. We just had to leave that day and miss the delivery. But thankfully FedEx tries the next day as well. So then we had to wait. The anticipation was killing me. I was so stoked about actually holding the phone in my hand. So the next day I pretty much stayed glued to the window. Hoping that the next car that drove by would be a glorious FedEx truck. But each and every time I was disappointed. Until around 1:15 or so. Then I saw it. A huge white van with the most beautiful words written on it, FedEx. So after the guy came to the door and all that crap, I ran to LaVaughn and threw the package on her. Then after about 5 minutes of tearing at the box like a pack of Hyenas ripping into a dead carcus, we finally got them out. And they are oh so beautiful. I love everything about them. I couldn't ask for a better phone. The touch screen is mind boggling and the full keyboard is to die for. So if you have Verizon and a little extra money, you should seriously think about getting yourself one of these bad boys. They are so awesome. I think rating wise, I would give them a 9/10.

Ok, now for some movie ratings. We watched Rest Stop: Don't look Back the other day. And I have to say, it was really good. I think it was better than the first one. But I haven't watched the first one in a while, so I can't really say for sure. But it was awesome. If you ever watched the first one you should definitely watch this one. I think I'm going to give it a 8/10. It's well worth the watch. Ok, now we have Black Sheep. Overall it's pretty good. More funny than anything else. Some things are really out there. But all in good fun. So if you're in the mood for something funny but need to see a little blood. Then I suggest you rent it. I'm going to give it a 7/10. We haven't got around to Feast of Love yet. Just haven't really been in the mood for a love type movie. But I'm sure we'll watch it before long. What else? Oh yea, we stopped by Redbox today to see what they had going on. And of course, they had a horror movie that we hadn’t seen. So we rented. It’s called 13 Hours in a Warehouse. And I thought it said 13 Days in a Cellar. No clue why. I guess my mind just didn’t register the name for some reason. So when we got home we put it in. The previews should have been a warning. They looked so cheaply made, it was horrible. But we kept going anyway. Well we got about 20 seconds into the movie before turning it off. It was awful. Ugh, never rent movies without reading about them first. It’ll save you in the long run. Just for fun, lets rate the 20 seconds that we watched. I think I’ll give it a -5/10. It was horrible. Don’t ever rent it. Ok, I think that’s all the ratings for today. And also, look for our Horrorfest ratings in the very near future. We only have 2 more movies to go.

Well, I guess that’s all I have to say for now. Sorry so boring . I’ll try and make it a little more exciting next time. And maybe a picture or two, who knows. But until then, you know what to do. Rock hard. And remember boys… if you shake it more than twice, you’re playing with it.

Off we go.. again...

Yup, it's true. We just got back from PB. Except today we were on a mission. A mission for what you ask? A mission to find sugar gliders! But in the end our mission failed.

We left our place about 9:00 or so and started on our journey. We had looked up some numbers for some other pet stores in Poplar Bluff the night before. Since we only go to PetsWay we thought we'd try some other ones. So while we were on our way we called a few and asked if they had any sugar gliders. None of which had any. But we thought we'd check some of the stores out anyway. Our first stop was Pets R Us. It's kind of in a mini mall type building. You walk in the front door and go down a long ass set of stairs and then you're there. You can also come in through the back (where we should've came in). But overall the store was pretty cool. Way different than PW. In this store they had some dogs and a whole bunch of kittens. And I mean some super cute kittens. And the ladies that worked there seemed pretty nice.

Then we went to our ever faithful, PetsWay. We walked around in there for a little while. But we didn't really find anything. Other than a missing hedgehog and one on hold. That sucked balls. But oh well, I got over it. All we got there was a corner scooper for Ben's cage and some vitamin stuff to go in his food. Then we were off again.

Our next stop was at another pet store that we looked up. LaVaughn had to call and get directions. And that was not easy. We had to go to downtown Poplar Bluff. It was so confusing. I think we circled the post office like 3 times. Then we drove down a one way street the wrong way. That was super fun. And to top it all off, we were on some kind of stone road the entire time. Then after about 30 minutes of driving around we finally found it. It wasn't in a nice neighborhood either. There were like abandoned buildings all around us. We were so freaked to leave Milla in the car cause we had to park like a block away from it. So we like ran all the way there. And then when we got in there it was just an oblong room full of fish tanks! It was so disappointing. There was like one worker guy and like 3 other boys standing around. We walked over to the corner and stood there for like 10 seconds and then left. It was such a creepy place! We are so never going there again. We were so happy to see the strip again.

Then we just had to stop at Hastings. I mean come on, do you know us at all? Well we looked around in there for a while. Then I was in the horror section when LaVaughn ran around the corner and was like, "Dude, look what I found!" and I was like, "What." then she showed me. It was WrestleMania 23 and 24! But the awesome part, WrestleMania was in a sealed Ultimate Box Set package. And how much do you think that was? Only $12.99! A steal I tell you. I was so stoked. Then we went and looked at the wrestling DVDs for like 30 minutes. We found so many PPVs that we don't have. But we decided to just wait and buy them online. So by the time we left we had WrestleMania 23 and 24 and this movie called Black Sheep (which I'll rate after we watch it). One of the checkout guys recommended it the last time we were in there. So then we left.

When we got back to town we had do grab a few things and pay a few bills. Like car insurance and our phone bill. Then we had to get some dish soap, paper plates for the animals, and some detergent. And while I was in there I couldn't help but notice a movie that we didn't have. It's called Rest Stop: Don't Look Back. It's the second part to Rest Stop. That was a pretty cool movie. Really weird, but well worth the watch. So I'll be rating that in the future as well.
Then we got home a checked the mail. Where we were pleased to find a movie that we had ordered. It's called Feast of Love. Never seen it. But it has Morgan Freeman in it. So it can't be all bad. I'll also rate that in the future. Then after we got all of our stuff out of the car we walked to the door only to find a slip from FedEx! Those bastards came today! And guess what they had? Our freakin Voyagers! I was so upset. They were supposed to be here tomorrow. Oh well, you can't win them all.

I think that's about all that happened today. If I forgot anything I'll probably just put it in my next blog. Peace out!

Oh yea, sorry for the lack of pictures here lately. I haven't really go to take any good ones. So I'll put a couple pictures of a Voyager at the bottom for you. Peace!

Song of the day: Baby Please Don't Go by Big Joe Williams

You can‘t judge a movie without a rating…

Well, well, well. Three days in a row. That has to be a new record fro me. But I couldn’t go a day longer without telling you this… I haven’t been rating the movies! Why oh why have I done such a thing? I should be punished. Well, I guess I’ll start here.

Last month I told all of you that we got to see The Last House on the Left. And again, it was a truly great movie. So much better than the original. You can hardly tell it’s a remake. Other than the fact that most of the names are the same. Anyway, I think I would give it a 8.5/10. That seems suitable. It was really so awesome. So if it’s still playing in a theater near you, then I suggest you see it ASAP.

Before I get into all the movies that we’ve bought at Hastings recently. I must tell you about Resident Evil 5. As usual, we got it the day it came out. But we didn’t play it a whole lot that day. And I’m sure that most of you know that it’s a co-op game like the ever grateful Left 4 Dead. This game informs you about a lot of history on the Resident Evil game series. But for people like us, we already knew. Cause we’ve followed RE ever since The Mansion. But anyway. The game play resembles that of RE 4. Only a lot more color and lighting changes hit you in 5. Not that it’s a bad thing though. I guess Capcom wanted a more realistic feel. The game centers around a small town in Africa where you (Chris Redfield) meet your partner (Sheva Alomar) that sticks with you throughout the entire game. Together the two of you face loads and loads of new enemies. The game play is pretty realistic. It kept me entertained. But it is no easy task. Whenever we first played we were lost. It’s a little hard to get used to the new keys. Unless you played RE 4 up until the day you got RE 5. But it gets easier, I promise. We only played for like 30 minutes the first day. Then like 3 or 4 days later we played a lot more. And then we played every night up until the very end. So if you’ve never played this before and are planning on getting it, then prepare yourself. I suggest you grab a friend cause it is super hard on your own. But I think you will like it in the long run. Especially if you love zombie games as much as we do. So I think I’m going to give RE 5 a 7.5/10.

Ok, now I’m going to start with Feast 3. I know I didn’t mention this one in my earlier blogs, but I have to review it. It’s just way too cool to skip. We always knew that there was going to be a part 3. We just didn’t realize it would be so soon. Until one day we were browsing around on amazon.com and noticed it at the bottom of the page. We were like flipping out. So we ordered it. And then a couple days after that I was looking at our credit card transactions and noticed that there was way too much that had been charged. So I went back to amazon.com and looked at our order forum and noticed that somehow we had ordered two copies of Feast 3. I contacted the seller and told him about the problem. But he was like, “It’s already been shipped.” and that was pretty much it. But anyway. The movies starts exactly where the second one left off. Which I think is just awesome. And somehow the majority of the cast is still alive. Who you ask? Well that’s for you to find out. So please, got to the video store and rent it. Or buy it, either way. But I must warn you, it’s out there. Way out there.. But I like that about it. I would have to give it at least a 8.5/10. And I also noticed that in our earlier blog I gave Feast a 9/10 and Feast 2 a 8/10. Well I wanna change that a little. I wanna give Feast a 8.5/10 and Feast 2 a 9/10. Sorry for the mess up.

Now for the rest of the movies. I don’t really know if I want to rate all of them. Just a few of my faves. Like Funny Games. That movie was the s***. It has Michael Pitt (Bully, Last Days), Naomi Watts (The Ring, King Kong), and Tim Roth (Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction). I’m not going to go into all the details or anything. But do recommend this movie. It was so good. We first watched it on HBO but later got it at Hastings. It is so awesome. I would have to give it at least an 8/10. Ok, now for The Day The Earth Stood Still. This movie was pretty good overall. I mean come on, it has Keanu Reeves in it. How bad can it be. I can’t really compare it to the old one considering I’ve never seen it. But I will in the future. After all, we did get ti free with the new one. So if you’re into sci-fi and all that good stuff. Then this is the movie for you. I think I’m going to give it a 7/10. Hmm, what next? Ok, how about Otis. This movie was so good. One of the best I’ve seen in a while actually. It looks like it would be cheaply made, but oh no. It has Illeana Douglas (Goodfellas, Stir of Echoes), Daniel Stern (Home Alone, City Slickers), and Kevin Pollak (The Whole Nine Yards, Hostage). A pretty good lineup if you ask me. It’s mostly about a guy that kidnaps girls and keeps then in his basement. He tries to re-live his high school years by dressing them up like cheerleaders and dressing himself up as a football player. It a really good comedy/thriller. I think anyone with a since of humor would like it. I’m going to give it a 8/10. And last but not least, the original Last House on the Left. It was pretty good. I love movies that were filmed in the 70s. They just look classy. But it has nothing on the remake. But it is nice to have. So I’m sure that most of you have seen this cult classic. But if not, then you should pick yourself up a copy. Cause it’ll be nice to have when the new one comes out. I guess I would give it a 6.5/10.

Well folks, thanks again for reading. I’ll rate more when we get new movies. So I’ll probably be blogging tomorrow as well, lol. So peace out you groovy hipsters. Keep rockin hard until next time.

What's something that has a touchscreen and a hidden keyboard?...

I believe it's an LG Voyager! And that's exactly what we're getting. We were messing around on Verizon's website today looking at the phones when we came across a Voyager. We were lovin what we saw. So we thought we would check and see if we had any upgrades available. And to our surprise, we did. Well mostly LaVaughn. She got $100 off the phone of her choice. So she chose a Voyger. So with her $100 discount and the online discount of $50. That brought the price of her phone down to only $29.99! Amazing isn't it? Then we checked my number and I had zilch. And there was no way she was going to get a Voyger and not me, so I chose that one as well. So with my online discount of $50 that made the price of my phone only $129.99! Not so amazing, but oh so worth it. So that brings our total to an astounding $169.94. And in the checkout we noticed that we got free overnight shipping! How awesome is that? Pretty damn awesome I think. But since it's Saturday, we probably wont get them until Tuesday. But who cares? As long as we get them.

So people, if you have an awesome cell phone company like Verizon, please remember to check your upgrade eligibility frequently. You just never know when you'll get $100 off your next cell phone purchase.

Until next time, be safe and always call your friends. Or text, either one is good.

Song of the day: In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins

A phone, a movie, and a hedgehog?...

The cause of this trip was the excitement of getting a new phone. Cause yesterday we were talking and realized that our two year contract was up on our cell phones. So if you have a cell phone provider like us, then you know what that means. New phones! We have Verizon and it just so happens that there is a Verizon in PB. So that's why we went today.

Well we got up there at about 10:00 or so. We went in and was looking around trying to decided what phone we wanted to get. Then the lady was like, "Can I help you with something?" and we told her that we were wanting to upgrade our phones. So after we talked to her for a minute she said that neither of our names were on the account. And that we would have to have Gene (LaVaughn's step dad and the account holder) to come and sign for us. So that really bummed us out. But we wanted to go to PetsWay and Hastings anyway. So off we went.

When we got to PetsWay we noticed a couple new animals in the cages. And guess what they were? Hedgehogs! LaVaughn started freaking out and asked me if I wanted one. And I was like, "Dude, do you know me at all?" so we went and asked someone how much they were. And the asking price was a fairly decent $120. So we went over to the small animal isle and seen how much hedgehog food was and how much a new cage would be. And while we were there I did a little bit of reading on hedgehogs. Then after we seen about how much all that stuff would be we went and asked Houston (the devil that works there) if we could hold them. So she came over and got the out for us. But they stayed in little balls for like five minutes. And I do mean little. These little guys were just off the nipple. Then right as they were waking up, two old as ladies jumped in front of us and started petting them. Then after they left we finally got to hold them. And oh my god, they are so freakin cute!! Only one came out of it's ball. That's the one we held. Then we told Houston that we would think about it. So after she put them up and left we kept asking each other if we were really sure that we wanted one. And neither of us were. So we were like, "Let's go on over to Hastings and think about it there." so off we went.

When we got there we noticed that their "Buy two get the third for a dollar" sale was still on. So that made us really happy. We walked around for a long ass time and found some great movies that we didn't have. And they are as followed: The Last House on the Left: Unrated Collector's Edition, Fire in the Sky, Otis, River's Edge, and The Perfect Storm. All super great movies. The last time we were up here we got: Funny Games, Gus Van Sant's: Last Days, Shadow Boxer, and Mystic River (cause someone stole ours). We also got Black Snake Moan and The Day The Earth Stood Still (old and new). But we got those at Walmart instead of Hastings. Anyway, that's pretty much all we did at Hastings.

After we got done there we left and realized that we would be better off without the hedgehog. Even though it was killing us inside. But, there is a good chance we might go back and get it next week. Who knows.

Oh yea, this guy Mike that works at our Grandma's dialysis center told LaVaughn's mom that his sugar gliders just had babies. And he's going to see how much his wife wants for one of the males. So we can pretty much say that we're going to get a baby sugar glider before long... maybe.

Well my fellow rockers, I guess that's all for now. Until next time, keep on rockin baby.

It’s that time of year again…

It the time of year we’ve waited for all year long. And what exactly is that time of year? Well it’s Wrestlemania! And as Ric Flair would say: Woooooooooooooooooooooo! Tonight is going to be the best night ever! The day after Wrestlemania I start counting down the days to the next one. And tonight is a little extra special cause tonight is Jake’s very first Wrestlemania. So very awesome. For us, this will be our 5th in a row. We’re so excited about that. So without a doubt I’ll post a results blog tonight or the next day. I usually do every year. But I’m not going to guarantee anything.

So please, join us and millions of others tonight as we watch the 25th annual Wrestlemania! Woooooooooooooooooooooo!

Is that BBQ I smell?…

Yes, I believe it is. We had another awesome BBQ today. Some might say that we grill too much, but I say that we don’t grill enough. Seriously, it’s so much fun. You get to go outside, listen to music, smell that wonderful fire smell and even beat each other with weeping willow branches. Which is exactly what we did. LaVaughn, Jake and myself of course. We laughed, we cried, we chased each other. It was all good fun. Jake kept running around saying that he was going to Irish kick over stuff. So I had him jump over this old thing that was in the yard. It was so awesome, he took off and jumped. But his foot hung on the thing and he almost fell. That was pretty awesome. Oh man, I almost forgot. When we first started grilling I was pouring the started fluid on the grill and lit it. We had a pretty nice flame. But it kept going out. So I started pouring more on there. I got them pretty soaked. So when I lit it a huge flame like engulfed me. My aunt was like freaking out. But I was laughing the whole time. I didn’t get burned though. But I did loose some arm hairs in the process. But it was all good fun. And we lost 3 hot dogs too. They just rolled off the grill. It was awesome. Then as the day grew dim the food became grilled and it was and awesome ending to an awesome day.

Thanks again for reading. And remember a BBQ hot dog is a happy hot dog.

A punk ass picture of Jake.

Me and Jake.

LaVaughn and Jake.

Sharon and Jake.

This is the first picture of Jake's mini photoshoot. It was a pretty serious one.

In the one he's laughing a little bit.

In this one he's just not cooperating.

And last, our food. We had hot dogs too, they're just not pictures cause the camera battery was low.

Yet another trip to PetsWay and a little something on the side…

Well today was awesome. LaVaughn, Jake and myself all went for a nice little drive today. The main reason for the drive. Getting Milla groomed, finally. I called a dog groomer and asked if the could get her in today, and the lady said they could about noon. She tried to tell me where it was but she said that she was no good at giving directions. So she told us that she would meet us at a gas station and let us follow her there. Which I thought was extremely nice. So she got there and we followed her back.

When we first got out of the car Milla was super excited. Until we tried to get her in the door. She just wouldn’t budge. She always pulls this little stunt at the vet too. So LaVaughn finally just picked her up. And that’s no easy task. Cause she’s tipping the scales at about 90 lbs. So we got her in and stood there for a few minutes. Then the lady had me take her in the back and put her in a cage! That was so horrible. Probably one of the worst things I’ve ever had to do. Then the lady was like, “She’ll probably be done around 4:00.” We couldn’t believe it. So we left. And then LaVaughn said that as we left she was crying. And I was freaking out so bad. None of us wanted to leave her there. But she was already in there so we just left her. Then we had to blow 4 hours.

We went to PetsWay and Hastings and walked around for hours. While we were in PetsWay we had an ID tag made for Milla. But they didn’t have any big pink hearts so we got her a big punk circle. We had her name put on the front and our number on the back. But the lady screwed up on the name. She left it all in caps. So it kind of looks weird. But we’ll probably have her another one made before long anyway. After we had that made we left and went to Hastings.

We didn’t really look at the movies for too long. We went over and looked at the books and then we went to the music section and looked at all of their cool stuff. While we were there we found an awesome incense burner and some really great smelling incense that we just had to have. And we also found me an awesome bracelet that I love dearly.

When we got done there we got some gas and Jake something to eat. Then we had to sit for like an hour. Then after that we picked up Milla. She was so happy to see us when we got there. She couldn’t wait to get in the car. She smelled so much better and to top it off, they put two little pink bows in her hair. It was awesome.

I think that’s about all. It was another pretty awesome day.

The only before picture of Milla that we got. But it's an awesome one.

Just a little smug picture of Jake.

This little Guinea pig is so pitiful looking but so adorable.

Oh so many sexy little mice.

A couple pretty awesome Pythons.

I love this ferret so much. I just wanted to take it home with me.

I love these little Bearded Dragons so freakin much. I'll probably get one before long.

A pretty cool looking picture of some Neons.

Jake in front of the empty puppy cages.

An adorable picture of Jake in the backseat reading a news paper that we bought on the side of the road from an old man.

A totally great picture of LaVaughn. The best of the day.

A really weird picture of me.

My awesome new bracelet. It's upside down in the picture. I love this bracelet so much.

Our awesome new incense burner with incense behind it.

Our new car keys.

Poor pitiful Milla being picked up from the groomer.

I think the girl was trying to give her a treat here.

And here they're clipping her toenails.

Her beautiful little bows.

Another shot.

My favorite shot of her bows.

This is like my favorite picture of her from today.

Her awesome new name tag. We're going to get her a new one when they get pink hearts in.

This book is so awesome. We got it from Hastings for like $42. But it is so worth it. It has every chart a person would need. And we also got Mosby's Medical Dictionary. It's equally as cool. If not cooler. Sorry no picture of it. I think it was a little cheaper than this.
