Drinkin Kool-aid




Finally, the wait is over..you can see my Nov DT stuffs for Scrapgal! I know I know, I never even mentioned it before..lol
It's been a long week (and it's only Wednesday!) I've been having a ton of random memories lately. Last night wasn't a great one...but this morning I got a good chuckle!
So XM merged with Sirus....like hella ago right?! This morning I turned on the truck to find that there were a ton of new/different stations. While flipping through I came across the Grateful Dead Station. No no, I'm not a huge GD fan but back in the day my brother Jacob was. We used to have a radio in our bathroom and whomever was in there had control over it naturally. I was always the first up...playing some sort of Whitney or Mariah, well cause that's how I rolled lol. Then Little bro would get in there with Hank Williams...finally Jacob with his Grateful Dead.
He would put Casey Jones on repeat, so we would be stuck listening to an hour long rendition of "Drivin the train...high on cocaine" yeah, nice! Well David was little...like IDK..6 and he thought it said...Driving that train...drinkin kool-aid. lol So he would run through the house singing that over and over and over!!
Anyways, thats all I got for today...so far anyways. A week and a half to go until our cruise! I'm getting super duper excited.

Weekend Update



Chad, Cesar, Kristi, Kelly, Danny, David

We headed up to Big Bear Lake for the weekend...it was sooo super cold at Oktoberfest but we had a blast anyways. There were lame games...little swap meet type booths and some carnival games to play. I think Danny is the only one who actually had a beer lol.

Danny and a Cracnk Yankers puppet cop.


Kristi, Fuck Puppy, and weirdo Security Dude who thought she was 16. Say Jailbait!


Me and my new bff. Kristi made me go into the petting zoo...where I fed a pig with a bottle. We felt a little bit like Clairce on The Silence of the Lambs when the guy pulled the pigs by the leashes and they squealed super loud. And I honestly thought the pig was going to attack me and eat my hand off. lol

See no evil, Speak no evil, Hear no evil.

We walked around the Village and shopped a little. I got an ornament, we got candy and a yummy caramel apple. It rained/snowed. And we took lots and lots of Puppy pics...which will be scrapped and posted soon!
