Wooly bear!?!?!

2008-08-25T21:31:00.002-05:00

So what exactly are these little guys and why the hell do they love our car so much?

for about a week or so everyday there would be at least 4 or 5 of these dudes hanging on the car. usually on the tires too. weird. kinda cute though.

2008-08-14T19:28:00.002-05:00

wow. blogger hates me. maybe it's because i abandonded it for so long, it's hurt. but it took me three f'ing days to get these pics uploaded.
i said it's the man, trying to keep me down. or keep my blog down anyway.
so, jennifer posted the crazy..i mean lovely wedding gift i made for them but i figured it deserved some more time to shine.
these are some pics of it and the mess i made while doing it- (taken by mike, i need to give him artist credit for the photos since i stole the wolf mask one from him too!)

yes, that is glitter. glued to my hands. i suffer for my art.

and here is me, the proud artist!!! it's in black and white because it's super fancy art. or something like that.

The bitch is back!

2008-08-11T15:49:00.002-05:00

I can't believe I haven't posted anything since when, October?? craziness.
So for some reason I can get online at work today (and this is not always the case) so I figured what the hell?
I'm sure I can find tons of pics to post when i get around to it, but for now you get this...

fun at the zoo. that's what that is.

cinema wasteland

2007-10-08T19:57:00.000-05:00

random craziness at cinema wasteland movie and memorabilia expo!

these two called me paparazzi after i took there picture on my way past!

two genuine nerds!

these last two pics are of people people who have either played, done stunts for, or some other BS for the Halloween series. In other words, creeps!

Bitchy McStitchy

2007-09-26T18:37:00.000-05:00

i have a ton of pictures to update when i get off my ass and upload them.
right now i just have one.

so, i have decided to learn to cross stitch and embroider. why you might ask?
so i can make stuff like this....

it still needs to be ironed to get the creases out, but you get the idea!!

gimme my money!!

2007-09-12T22:17:00.000-05:00

so jennifer once posted a request on her blog, a challenge if you will.
to get a good picture of her and that boy.
she offered money.
i took the following picture.
it's lovely, no?

i still haven't gotten my money! can you believe it?!?!

i've also included some equally lovely pictures i've taken of me and mike.

we look like ghosts in this one. and if you look closely, mike is making that face that cats make when the smell something weird and curl their mouth up all crazy....

i even included this next one-where i have some weird squinty eye thing going on- (the fan was blowing my hair in my eyes)

maybe i've found my artistic calling in life. upsetting couple portraits!!!

more tremont fun

2007-09-06T23:12:00.000-05:00

weird metal sculpture thingy outside the ice cream shop "scoops"

scoops is kick ass...andnot just because they have this ice cream flavor-

yes, i am a huge nerd
mike is coveting my icecream because it looks so damn good (it is, i think it's the muggle crunch that makes it so f'ing fantastic!!)

street art

2007-09-05T22:29:00.000-05:00

even more neighborhood fun! a local artist who calls himself 'the sign guy' puts these little paintings all over tremont on poles and signs. good stuff!

it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood...

2007-09-05T21:56:00.000-05:00

random but cute graffiti

and this one is on a pole at a small gas station not far from us. saxon!??! i think that's an 80's hair metal band if i'm not mistaken. and what's up with the weird fruit magnets?? this is the same gas station that had maniquin heads on this same pole but they were gone before i could get a picture

long lost brother?

2007-09-04T20:42:00.000-05:00

stonehenge!

2007-09-02T12:13:00.000-05:00

well, mini stonehenge anyway.

murals

2007-09-02T12:08:00.000-05:00

a couple of murals found in the neighborhood. done by a local artist, whose name escapes me right now....

random neighborhood pics

2007-09-02T11:58:00.000-05:00

the first post of many with some pics taken around tremont-

2007-08-30T22:36:00.000-05:00

our friends who run a gallery (the hybrid collective) in our neighborhood had a meeting/cookout last weekend...

their dog, horatio, aka gus's new walking buddy!

they asked everyone to bring something. so, what do we bring...classy bitches that we are?

that's right, a big ass jug of carlo rossi! i think the 'paid' sticker from the grocery store just adds to the whole class factor of it all.

The King

2007-08-16T20:51:00.000-05:00

in honor of the 30th anniversary of Elvis' death....

something in the air maybe?

2007-08-14T22:38:00.000-05:00

another sunday starts out good
we had dogs in scarves, red velvet cake (2 actually), pie, cheesy scary movies....

but of course it ends badly....

zoinks!

the saga of gorillamonkeypen is continued over on stickmom's blog. things aren't looking so good for him right now.

even dan was in rare form- we got to see 'crabby chore boy' in action. and he stole david's last piece of cake. what a bully!

misc sunday pics from dan and jennifer's

2007-08-14T22:13:00.000-05:00

these are from 2 different sundays-this past sunday and whenever the hell ever it was the last time we over there. a few weeks or so....
this weekend though, this is what greated us as we entered the house.

can you blame him for trying?
this one is from a reenactment of our car accident that just got way out of hand. i believe this is me and mike.

and the stringangelmonsterthingy was the 'overseer' of it all. or the maybe she (is it a she??) played the ambulance driver..

2007-08-12T23:35:00.000-05:00

yes i am a slacker. but i have a bunch of pics to update. 2 sunday dinners at dan and jennifer's and other misc BS.
what was i doing while i wasn't blogging you ask? why, i was studying...

that's right. watch out. i'm about to flip out like a super sweet ninja!

new toy

2007-07-13T12:45:00.000-05:00

2007-07-13T12:41:00.000-05:00

2007-07-10T22:55:00.000-05:00

when i told mike that i was going to post these picture of him and our friend jeff being retarded he said, "don't call us retarded, we're real bad serious people" hmmmm...i'll let you be the judge of that one.

2007-07-10T21:57:00.000-05:00

The newest 3 man band. The next Nirvana maybe....

pissed off that someone never blogs??

2007-06-18T22:30:00.000-05:00

just ask...

my answer was going to be 'smash somthing' or 'unleash fury' but get real mad works too.

Happy Easter!

2007-04-09T22:53:00.000-05:00

the boys dressed in their easter best....

yep. gotta love NE ohio weather!!

did anyone miss me??

2007-02-27T23:22:00.000-05:00

yeah, so it's been forever since i've posted any pictures. i still don't have any decent pics of the new place either.
well, here are a few...mainly of the pets because i have been a hermit lately.

mike and gus are totally down with the dark side of the force...or something...

darth gus!

and this here's just about the cutest thing ever.

that's all for now.
more soon.

guitar hero

2006-11-10T21:21:00.000-05:00

much rocking out on guitar hero friday night!

even gus was rocking out...i think he would have tried the guitar himself, but his lack of thumbs held him back.

party like a rock star, pass out like one too!

2006-11-07T23:56:00.000-05:00

Did you??

2006-11-05T23:52:00.000-05:00

this is what happens when different people draw parts of a body/face with just an outline and without seeing the other parts. can you guess who drew which parts.

first we have the face. drawn by me, david, mike and rachel

then we have a full body one. the artists for this one were me, mike, my mom, rachel, david and dan

more saturday pics

2006-11-04T23:44:00.000-05:00

the wizard showed up with her magic potion (aka jello shots!)

poor tiny little david, waiting for his burger...so sad and hungry

i'm not even sure what these two idiots are doing in this picture actually.....

this would be mike reading from the bible (with darth vader voice effects of course!)

out of burgers, we had to do something....

saturday nights alright...

2006-11-04T23:36:00.000-05:00

so, these two had us over for a little get together saturday.
and as always there are lots of fun things to discover. like bowls full of chocolate ears and eyes, monkeys, crazy coconuts and of course swords to play with! fun times!!

Happy Halloween!!!!

2006-10-31T22:04:00.000-05:00

my deparment was the justice league.

This is my boss, batman and lead, superman...or superboy as we like to call him!

and here's some of my deparment.

after work mike and i stopped over mom's to trick or treat because we were worried that no kids would show up. of course, she saw us coming and turned off the light and shut the door. nice!!!

now all she needs her grill and she'll be set!!!

therapy, or why i'm not afraid of michael myers anymore....

2006-10-29T23:54:00.000-05:00

as part of the "therapy" i got to rip off michael myers' mask.
yes, i killed michael myers!!!

but of course, in true michael myers fashion, he came back to life. but, something was a little....uh, different after that.

I think I'm cured of my fear. I even watched Halloween II the next night!!!

my husband, the queen

2006-10-28T22:51:00.000-05:00

David's reaction to Mike's costume, "How dare you come to my home dressed like that" that made it all worth it!!!!

halloween party

2006-10-28T22:35:00.000-05:00

just a couple because blogger is taking forever...hopefully i'll upload more later...

2006-09-19T22:43:00.000-05:00

while taking a break from dancing (3 people, only 2 dance pads) i used my time wisely. bribing the dogs with treats to get good pictures.

gus looks like he's smiling!

i could not get a good picture of griffin (even with the use of bribes) but i love this one of him....or should i say his eyebrows!!

It's a revolution!

2006-09-18T21:38:00.000-05:00

dance dance revolution that is.

first, an action shot of the boys bustin' a move.

and a shot of DDR, robot style. just for you jennifer!!!

nerds

2006-09-15T23:35:00.000-05:00

as a somewhat "anniversary" gift, we each bought a ninteno ds. yep, anniversary video games. i got the pink one and it is beautiful. mike got the black one. because it's sexy. hahahhaha

charlie cash aka Pants!

2006-09-14T23:01:00.000-05:00

who knows why he was laying around with his tongue out like that, but he was. goofball.

can you dig it?

2006-09-13T22:18:00.000-05:00

i'm considering growning an afro just so i need a pick like this!

2006-09-12T22:41:00.000-05:00

there are wild animals up in that barn!!

they tried to lock me in! (again, proof that i can not take a normal picture!!)

proof that dan is a creep!

2006-09-12T22:37:00.000-05:00

(and look how happy jennifer is in the background. also a big creep)

this is the well behind the barn. i think there are dead babies in there. and kittens. creeps.

this guy lives in the dog's room. i don't think the dogs mind too much though.

more sunday pics

2006-09-12T22:32:00.000-05:00

everyone hanging out

zak and judy looking oh so cute! (although i think zak was doing something evil here. i'm not sure what, but knowing him he was...)

including, fun with canes!!

sunday cont.

2006-09-12T22:13:00.000-05:00

jennifer trying to cook.

while waiting for food to be cooked, the cool kids go out to the yard to smoke cigarettes..

(apparently i am incapable of taking a normal picture, ever!)

jennifer, trying to boss me to let her in...i only let her in because she was in charge of the food.

food's ready!!! (there was also baked beans and homemade mac and cheese thanks to mom and rachel!!)

they had even had dessert! hell yeah, strawberry shortcake!!! i almost feel bad for not wanting to let jennifer in, almost...

one of the dogs trying to get their share

after dinner, it's time to explore the chicken coop

sunday adventure

2006-09-10T22:33:00.000-05:00

2006-04-10T23:08:00.000-05:00

zak preparing sunday dinner...which was pretty tasty, even if jennifer and i think he must have slipped some ruffies in it or something because we both passed out after eating it!

this is the lovely dessert jennifer bought for us. it's lithuanian and if you can't tell from the label, it's called "the king of cakes"

and one of it outside of the package. (also pretty tasty!)

and finally mom administering and bossing us how to get satin hands.

4/7/06

2006-04-10T23:06:00.000-05:00

my favorite pic of the night! mike and amanda with 2 of the guys from the band.

the merch girl, aka "peelander pink" clearing a lane for human bowling!!

mauricio

this is what happens when 2 drunks try to take their own picture. i decided not to rotate it since this is how these fools took it....

mike shaving jeanette's arm (and mickie peeking in!).....i'm not sure why either.

playing leg guitar is all fun and games until someone gets kicked in the throat!!

and here's a pic to show off the big new table mike and will got for their living room.

here's another one of the table. and mike showing how sturdy it is!

random

2006-04-05T21:57:00.000-05:00

ok, since blogger doesn't seem to want me to backdate my posts anymore, i am just going to upload a bunch of random photos that should make up for the lack of anything for the past month of so...
on to the pics!

here's a couple of mike giving mike a facial peel.

now, since we are kinda used to seeing will like this....

we were excited that he was awake when we went to leave one night. as you can kind of see from the clock on the cablebox, it is 3:35. that's am my friends. will is hardcore!

mike and carrie arm wrestling. why? who knows. i'm not even sure who ended up winning actually...

2006-04-04T23:59:00.000-05:00

new pics coming soon.. i swear. they are uploaded and ready to go but now i'm just too damn tired to do it.
tomorrow maybe.

2/28/06

2006-02-28T22:04:00.000-05:00

2/26/06

2006-02-28T21:43:00.000-05:00

our army of toys. notice all the robots waiting to strike, jennifer!!

2/25/06

2006-02-28T21:39:00.000-05:00

what could possibly make mike laugh this hard?
all i can say it is "Tampoon!" (and yes, there are two o's on purpose it's tampoon, rhymes with spoon)

2/24/06

2006-02-28T21:24:00.000-05:00

did i mention that sloppy drunks and red wine don't mix?

this photo is titled "poor will" for a reason... this was taken right after the great spill that was semi-captured in the previous pic. i didn't get the fact that it went all over the remote for the brand new (and super fancy) tv...again, poor will...
(just kidding m.c. you know it's all in good fun)

2/22/06

2-14-06 happy vd!

2006-02-23T22:42:00.000-05:00

we went to go out for a nice dinner on valentines day only to find out that the restaurant we were looking forward to for a long time was bought by new people and the whole menu had changed...and not for the better. so after a few other options that didn't work out we opted for take out mexican...

because really, what says valentine's day more than his and her's burritos!!!

For you, Jennifer

2006-02-07T22:17:00.000-05:00

because you loved that other pic of him so much.
i give you hank, all big and cranky for no reason!

2006-02-06T20:15:00.000-05:00

what happens when someone offers to take a "nice" photo of us.
proof that some people just don't know how to act!!

rawk!

2006-02-04T23:36:00.000-05:00

rocking out to previously mentioned slayer video (not in stereo i might add) with an mysterious extra hand....

2006-02-03T23:09:00.000-05:00

red wine and clumsy drunks don't mix..

apparently what the gays drink

the mikes trying to wheel the stereo from across the room to hook up the tv before the SLAYER video goes off. yep, that's right, Slayer! \m/

coffee time

2006-02-02T22:06:00.000-05:00

today we met these 2 fools for coffee... (the pic of them together was better, but she had her eyes closed..)

this is mike talking serious bizzzzness... (discussing doing a webstie for ryan and his photos.)

fun with face masques

2006-01-31T22:04:00.000-05:00

bang bang

2006-01-30T23:51:00.000-05:00

new hair (with bangs) and the same old crazy face!

sunday dinner

2006-01-29T23:44:00.000-05:00

Jennifer got a new fancy grownup dining room table so we had dinner here (or there) today.
i stole these pics from her blog because i was too busy eating garlic bread to get up and take my own! hahahah

in this one i'm doing a robot dance but you can't tell from the angle it was taken.
i just like it because all 3 of us (me, mike and rachel) look nuts in this one. (like that's any different from normal really...)

and here's hank, one of jennifer's many cats. in the last few months he has gotten so big. it's crazy. he looks like jabba the hut in this picture! as mike once said about hank, "he's just down there humping blankets and big for no reason!"

my husband the pyro

2006-01-28T22:38:00.000-05:00

this is what happens when mike c buys a bootleg bic lighter.

(it's kinda scary just how happy he looks in that one!)

Birthday boy!!

2006-01-27T21:37:00.000-05:00

happy birthday mike!

2006-01-26T23:58:00.000-05:00
