G- a Boo Boo!

Mr. L was "playing" with Ms. G and "guiding" her with a "gentle" bear hug and sharply tried to turn her to the right and....*SMACK* She hit the protruding corner of the stairs. It goosed up so large that I still get shudders thinking about it!

I know it doesn't look like much in her picture but TRUST ME, looking at it made my tummy upset!

WHERE'S MISTER L??!?!

THERE he is!

Mischievous Mister Strikes Again!

....I really don't know what to say, the picture says it all! (Yes that is a book shelf!)

Hunger Games...if you need a laugh!

Ok, so at first I was really embarrassed about this! However, I have resolved to lighten up! I want to feel like I am always dancing! (Those of you who social dance know the feeling)

So I decided to share what I was previously embarrassed to share.

With that being said, I will continue.

I absolutely love Suzanne Collins book: The Hunger Games. And to my greatest delight I read that Lionsgate had bought the rights to the book and will be making a movie to be released 2011!
You can imagine: I was pretty excited. Imagine all you Twilight Fans: when they first announced Twilight would be a movie. You were excited...you couldn't wait to see it! AND some part of you (admit it) really wanted to be a part of it...or at least try to be.

Well, that is how I feel about The Hunger Games. Except...I did something about it. I sent in an audtion tape to Lionsgate! (Ok, this is where you can laugh!)
I know, I know. I will never get a part. I have almost ZERO acting experience. And fans of the book will be quick to tell me: I am too old to play the part. (I could totally pass for a 16 year old! IMHO) I doubt anyone important will even watch it. But it was exciting to do....and I feel silly sharing it with all of you, don't laugh toooooo hard at my expense...ok?

THE VIDEO WON'T LOAD! How bogus! I will try again later. I guess I will keep you in suspense! :-)

Our Sixth Family Member:

PERIDOT!!


Here she is in the same place I found Ms. G the other day.


I snapped this picture a second too late. Peridot was laying down and Ms. G was right next to her. I guess Ms. G was getting too annoying because Peridot started getting up.
Anyway, that is our beautiful kitty!
