Velociraptor season is here...

Are you prepared?

Velociraptor attack is the 3rd leading cause of death for men age 27-29. However, everyone must think about the implications of velociraptors: young and old, men, women and transgendered persons.

The American Society for Velociraptor Attack Prevention is a bi-partisan group of professionals, dedicated to the diffusion of knowledge concerning velociraptor attack prevention.

Know the Enemy

The velociraptor is a bipedal carnivore with a long, stiffened tail and can be distinguished from other dromaeosaurids by its long and low skull, with an upturned snout. It bores a relatively large, sickle-shaped claw, typical of dromaeosaurid and troodontid dinosaurs. This enlarged claw, up to 67 millimeters (2.6 in) long around its outer edge, is a predatory device, used to tear into the prey, delivering a fatal blow.

Velociraptors are commonly found on tropical islands, converted to millionarie amusement parks, but are commonly being sighted in the Pacific Northwest. Of the essential facts you should know about velociraptors:

• Velociraptors hunt in packs, and are known to form an equilateral triangle around its prey.
• Velociraptors can accelerate 4 m/s², with a top speed of 25 m/s on open terrain, 10 m/s while wounded, and 10 m/s in indoor labratories.
• Velociraptors can open doors, but are slowed by them. They can open an initial door in approximately 5 minutes, and will take half that time for each subsequent door.
• Velociraptors do not know fear.

New Home Buyer Tips

When buying a new home, there are a few things to look out for when assessing potential velociraptor attacks:

1. Check all doors and windows. Doors should be made of solid oak or steel. Windows should have steel bars with spacing smaller than the average raptor.
2. Make sure all entryways have adequate deadbolts. Quality deadbolts may be purchased at your local Home Depot.
3. Always keep a loaded big-game rifle under your bed, and tire irons near every door. Remember, you should never be farther than 20 feet away from a tire iron.

Some more pics from the weekend!

Here are a couple more photos from the weekend!!

Ashley came to the house and we played the Wii!!

It took us forever for us to get the timer thingy going on my camera... fun stuff... I don't know why my belly looks so damn big... cuz it's not anymore...
Tom and Ashley - we were bowling.
Tom looking SUPER cute!!

Great weekend!!

Friday night, after Tom and I had dinner, we went to my parents' house to hang out with them and my sister and her family. We had a lot of fun. My nephew TJ has another ear infection. He's supposed to go to the doctor on Monday to have tubes put in. Which is great, because then maybe he won't get any more ear infections. Nikki had her nose stuck in the computer the whole time. and Brett just kind of kicked back and watched TV. It was fun.

After we got back from my parents' house, Tom put on MythBusters, and I totally crashed on the couch. It was great.

Sometime during the night, Tom woke me up and we went to bed. I don't remember much about that.

Saturday morning, we got up. Tom fixed the power steering on my car! yay!! It was a dirty job, but he did it quite quickly. I was really amazed. He had to jack the car up. That was kind of cool. I got to help by basically holding up the engine block with a breaker bar... yeah I am not sure what EITHER of those things are, but I did it!



















Tom was a little angry at my car.














The stuff he was trying to get to were REALLY far down in there!!














I think he wanted me to quit taking pictures while he was so frustrated!!

Then, we went to Sam's, picked up some groceries. Came home, cleaned up a little bit... and sat down. We loafed for most of the day on Saturday. It was great!! We watched some more MythBusters, and then it was off to bed! (another early night! Yay!!)

Today (Sunday), we got up kind of early - well it felt like it was early because of the whole Daylight Savings Time ending - or beginning?? i dunno. Well, so I got up took my shower, then Tom got up took his shower, and we started "Corpse Bride" which neither of us has seen. Then, I had to get up to work on my hair - All I did was straighten it and throw it into a pony tail... seems almost like a waste of time!! Oh well!
Then, we met Ashley at Mazzio's in Benton for lunch, then headed to Mills Park for a photo shoot. I liked a lot of the pictures, she didn't. She is really self-conscious about her weight - I am too, so I know how she feels, but I LOVED a couple of the pics!! I even snagged a couple of cut ones of Tom!















































































We came back to the house to load them up on my computer, and we started to play the Wii! It was great!! I even got a pic of all three of us! it's cute!!

Now, we're about to start the movie back up, so we can finish it! yay!!

Another Quickie!!

Quick Tidbit...

This is freakin' hilarious.


Yay!

Fun times ahead!

So, it's been a crazy F-ed up week.

I'm so ready for the weekend...

Let's start with tonight... I got home, and was going to start dinner - I was going to make fajitas and cheese dip - well, come to find out; we never took out the fajita meat... For that matter, we didn't have ANYTHING thawed for dinner. So, Tom decided we would just go out to eat. We debated where to go all the way from the house until we got to Bryant. Then, we decided on Casa Mexicana. Yummy! And what did we have? Fajitas and Cheese dip! Well, I had a fajita taco salad - without the shell. And Tom had the ground beef taco salad without the shell... Tonight was the first time I'd ever eaten cheese dip with a spoon! haha! It was fantastic!!
Then, we came home, cleaned for a little bit, worked on some laundry, watched CSI and are now watching SeaQuest. We still have a couple more loads of laundry to fold and put away.

Tomorrow is Friday! Fridays are cool, because I get to wear jeans to work! Yay! And, the jeans that I have are a size smaller than what I have been wearing. Really excited! I had to pin up the legs though... I'm just too short for my width haha!
Anyway, We're also trying to get out a little early tomorrow. We are not supposed to be getting any more overtime, but I just can't get away from it. I really can't stand to take an hour lunch. It's just too long. Tomorrow night, we're having Tilapia fillets and veggies. yay!
I'm Catholic, so on Fridays during Lent (the 40 days and nights that start the day after Mardi Gras) we're not supposed to eat meat. This is in remembrance of the 40 days and nights that Jesus fasted in the desert.

Saturday, we are going to work on replacing my power steering belt in my little dodge neon. It's been a crazy week trying to drive with the power steering out. It's turned my little car into a freakin' bus! We also have to go to Sam's to pick up some groceries. I have really gotten to enjoy going to Sam's. They have a good selection for most things. You just have to remember what you will and what you won't eat in a certain amount of time. Tom and I can't buy a lot of fresh produce at a good enough price, because it's just the two of us. But, we buy our meats, string cheeses, toilet paper, paper towels, conditioner, and Atkins shakes there.
Then, We're going to have Ashley come over and we're going to play some Wii!! I also need to take some new pictures of Ashley with my kick ass camera! I can't wait!! Its photo shoot time!!

Sunday, I am going to try and steal Brett - my oldest nephew - to see if I can photograph him. He's not big on having his photos taken, but he really liked the fact that I took a picture of him in mid jump side kick. So, I want to try and get some good shots of him, so that he likes having his photos taken. But all in all, trying to have a lazy day.

What are you guys up to?

Tom helped me with my piggie tails!! Do you like?

Our weekend

Ok, first off, I am trying to add photos and they are just NOT going... GRRR!! Technology frustrates me at times...

Anyway,

So our weekend was pretty kick ass.

Friday night we went to my parents' house. I was able to work on a project that I have been working on for two months with my dad. Anyway, so we made some progress on that. Then, TJ said "Sau-Sau"!! (that's what my sister's kids call me). Well, he said "Ta-Ta!" That was FANTASTIC!!! He's so damn cute!!

Saturday, we had to rescue my dad. He wound up two hours away with a stomach bug. Mom, Tom and I met up with dad about 25 minutes outside of Conway. Tom and I went to Kandi's house, and took some pics of the kids, hung out with Kandi's, had dinner. Then, we dropped dad's truck off and we went to the store and picked dad and mom up some chicken soup from the store. Then we came home, and hung out.

Sunday, we went to lunch, then we went whopping. I was able to pick up a new pair of jeans... a size smaller than what I have been wearing! YAY!!! They are a little snug right now, but if I give it a couple of weeks, it'll be fine.

Anyway, I'm going to try and post some of the pics I tried to do earlier...
Yeah, ok, no never mind...

not gunna go...

Will do it tomorrow night!!

Love you all!!
