Lollie Dollie
The love of my life is doing great! The doctors can’t believe how great she is doing and say she must really love us to pull through what she did. She wasn’t even supposed to make it through the first night. She is back to doing her normal things playing, eating treats, going on walks, mostly being naughty. She still has a head tilt and gets a little off balance but has only been a month and it will be months before her punctured eardrum heals and her equilibrium comes back. Her left eye still looks a little bit bigger because of the infection behind the eye and in her inner eardrum from the bacteria in the coyote’s mouth (the bacteria in their mouth is so gnarly because they eat dead things and the Neurologist said that an infection may pop up and it did). NASTY! Just another reason we should exterminate those horrible fuckers don’t you think? She still has a long way to go and a whole lot of healing to do but she is getting there. The doctors are “optimistic for a full recovery”. We went back to the lake house for the first time. She was so happy to be there and showed no signs of associating the house with the accident she could have been happier to be there and loved being on the lake with us.
Yo Tristan
I am ready for you to move back to the states now. To be honest I have been ready since the day you left 6 long years ago. Incase you didn’t hear the Philippines was hit with a major typhoon. Manila (where she’s at) was hit the hardest. It rains like crazy there so imagine what happened when as much rain as they usually get in the month of September came down in a matter of 6 hours. My sister lives in a 3 story house that is sooo cutely decorated. And if you know my sister you know what I mean her whole house is super nice. The water started coming in her house and flooded about 2 feet high into her bottom floor. She tried to put everything up but she could only do what she could. She had Mailee and Maui to keep busy on the top floors while she waited for Bran. Bran was trying to get to them but was stuck in bumper to bumper traffic (and I am not talking LA traffic much much WORSE!!! I know hard to imagine but its true I’ve seen it) it took him 6 hours to go 5 miles! Once he got out of the stopped traffic he parked the car far from their house and had to walk in chest high water. Everything on that floor is ruined, stove, washer/dryer couches, etc. They have been hit by more typhoons and storms but nothing like the first. They are all fine but the people that lost everything are not. Pray for the Philippines . Don’t you think it is time to come home???
A surprise visit
We had a very special surprise visit from my cousin Christina! We haven’t seen her or her husband Dave since they got married a while back and that trip was full of under aged drinking, I won’t mention any names (Lynnsey Erin!!!) haha. They live up in the Reno area and drove down to visit and introduce their new addition to family. It was the first time we got to meet Baby Riley!!! He looks EXACTLY like Chris. He looks just like her now and even more like her baby pictures, like twins! He was the cutest little thing, we couldn’t stop squeezing his chubby little baby thighs. I tried to get the web cam up and get on with Tristan and Miles but my damn USB ports are not recognizing when you stick anything in them!?!?!? We could see them but they couldn’t see the baby :(
They said he was in a cranky mood but he was so sweet and all smiles. Riley is 7 months, I have only really met one baby that age and it was Miles when she was 6 months. And let me tell you… Riley’s cranky was no way near Mile’s cranky!!! Thanks for the visit guys we loved Riley!!! I can’t wait until all the babies get to play together next summer. I just hope your babies don’t get any ideas of pulling my babies tail :)
Transferred!
It only took me 6 years but I FINALLY transferred and I will be working on a bachelor’s degree instead of an A.A. I had better knock off my spending habits from the looks of school loans (hello budget and adios online shopping) I finally decided to pull my head out of my ass and get it done with. Wish me luck, I need it. Business degree here I come!!! I’m not making any promises Mom and Dad but maybe I will finish before its time for me to retire.
No promises.
Shrink Wrap and a Road Trip
Friday my mother and Lollie and I headed to Havasu to meet Dad and friends out at the house. They drove out the night before in a caravan of 4 vehicles towing 4 Sea-Doos and a trailer full of furniture. I guess I should stop here and tell you about that said furniture… Well, my Dad was out at his plant in SD and somehow got a wild hair up his ass and bought a sleeper couch, a bedroom set, 2 area rugs, a mattress and box spring. The kitchen table we bought 2 MONTHS AGO finally arrived earlier last week and he hauled the new furniture home. It all sat on the trailer in front of the house for days and the night before he was driving it out to Havasu I found myself in the front yard loading the shit strategically on to the trailer. Once all the sit was piled high and I thought he was good to go I found myself helping my Dad shrink wrap the furniture to the trailer. I wish I would have taken a picture, it was a sight. Must have worked because he made it the 300 (give or take) miles with out any problems.
Satuday we spent the day on the lake and I had so much fun! We wakeborded, skied, kneeboarded, Sea-Dooed (sp?) and hung out in a cove.
Why didn’t someone tell me to squeeze my cheeks?!?!?!?
Ok if you have ever been offended by my blog in the past here is where you do yourself a favor and stop reading…
So, while we were on the lake messing around it must have slipped my mind how much fun my friend Kimmy is because I blame her for my bruised tailbone. Some one had the bright idea to go check out Copper Canyon . And someone else had an even brighter idea to jump off the 50ft cliff (what the fuck was I thinking???). It did not take anything to talk Kimmy into jumping with me and I thought it was no big deal. Well, me and Kimmy rode the See-Doos while everyone else toke a ride in the boat. Once we got there we started to get nervous so we pounded Coors Light’s and jumped in the water to swim to the cliff. We climbed up the rock and started to get even more nervous. I tried to talk her into jumping from the smaller jump but Kimmy has MUCH bigger balls then I do and turned to me and said and I quote “We’re already here we might as well go to the top” Damn you Kimmy!!! I followed her to the very tippity top and watched her jump. That’s when I turned around and looked at the guy behind me who was even more scared shitless then myself and said “FUCK!!! She jumped and now I have to!” I hesitantly climbed to the top in cheap sandals and stood there looking 50ft down into the water. To the right you can see a big ass rock just under the water and you can envision yourself going SPLAT! You want to be sure you push off the right way which felt impossible trying to get your footing while you’re buzzed up and it’s windy up there. I could hear the crowd cheering me on but it must have taken me longer then they liked because I heard one heckler yell PUSSY! Haha I knew I was going to jump I was stuck. I took a deep breath and leaped off the rock.
The fall felt great until I hit the water. It hurt so bad I didn’t even paddle to the surface I just let my blubber take me up. When I came up I saw Ray on the See Doo and it must have looked like it hurt because he looked at my bulging eyes and asked if I was ok and I tried my hardest to answer him but the pain took my breath away. I got out “I’m fine but I think I ripped my butthole open”. He laughed and I swam to the boat and climbed up and I shared with everyone that I think I just received an episiotomy courtesy of Lake Havasu . They also laughed but I was dead serious. I have had a lake enema before but not like this, not both ways. My Dad took me to the dock where I pushed out a little turd and my butt wash bleeding. How gross am I? I pooped and my asshole was bleeding!!! I almost made my mom look up my brown eye but I felt much better by the time we got back to the house. My tailbone is bruised and it hurts like a bitch!!!!!! I know I shouldn’t share things like this on the internet but friends and family take it from me next time you jump 50ft make sure you SQUEEZE YOUR CHEEKS! And most importantly avoid a butt flop!
Kimmy's Jump :)
My Jump :(
I am now fresh and clean and you can thank me later for the advice. Until next time bitches.
