This is what my bed looked like this morning when I woke up. I don't know about you, but I don't see much space for me. Smokes slept under the covers all sprawled out right next to me and well, Dirty slept on top of the covers (basically on top of Smokes).

This was one of the few days I got to sleep in, I got up at 10:30 (lovely), Smokes got up at 3:30 (pathetic) in the afternoon.....I think I will start calling him Mr. Lazy Bones.

Dirty looks pretty tiny on our big baked potato of a couch.

Lance came to visit me for Valentine's Day and here are a few pics of our time together.

We kind of had a lazy weekend because I had to work on Saturday, but it was still very nice. Smokes was Lance's remote / pop holder while all the basketball games were on Saturday night...what a great kitty!

We had a huge melt down and then everything turned back into ice. Lance found this GIANT icicle on our car port, in the same spot that I biffed it on the ice last week. This thing was huge and we left it to melt in my shower. Anyway, I hope everyone has an equally relaxing weekend.

Here are some pictures of Lance and I skiing at Nubs Nob last weekend. It was really cold, but we had a lot of fun. Lance is pretty good on ski's and I didn't do too bad either. I think the last time I went skiing it was at Bittersweet with the middle school ski club...ha.

In the lodge looking sweet!

On the chair lift!

here is the 5th sentence on page 123 in my Pathophysiology book, which just so happened to be the closest book to me at the time I read Emily's post.

"When acid loss is caused by vomiting, renal compensation is not very effective because loss of chloride (an anion) in hydrogen chloride (HCL) acid stimulates renal retention of bicarbonate. Hyperaldoseteronism also can lead to alkalosis as a result of sodium bicarbonate retention and loss of hydrogen and potassium."

I know I officially need to get a life! Anyway, I think Betsy's was the best. I am laughing at that one.

Say goodbye to your mouse Dirty!

Dirty has this rainbow mouse that was getting a bit nasty to keep around. The mouse was losing its hair all over my floor at night and it has come to the point where I have to vacuum everyday because of it. So today I took it upon myself to put the little mouse out of his misery and retired him to the dumpster. Thank goodness I can finally put the vacuum away for a little while.

Smokes has found a new spot to sleep lately too. He enjoys sleeping in my closet on top of all my "clean" clothes. Ugh, I never said he was a smart cat.

LOVE

I thought this was a nice picture for today. Dirty and Smokes were snuggling and it was way cute. Smokes is actually hugging Dirty. We sure have come along way since Christmas!!!

Fun weekend

This weekend Lance came to visit me. We had a lot of fun! Here is a picture of us at the auto show. This was my first experience at the auto show. I had a lot of fun looking at the cars and just people watching.

I think I am going to buy this car in May when I am done with school....what do you think?!?

Angie (my roomie) came out with us to Hoops, a bar right by the Palace. We had so much fun, Lance's friend Mike Ridley was the entertainment at the bar for the night. What a good surprise, Lance even bought me a Mike Ridley CD. Thanks buddy!!!!

Lance and his friends thought it would be fun to jump over chairs and land on my "baked potato" of a couch. Here is a good picture of Lance mid-air.

Besty got some FANS!!!!

Betsy finally had some fans at her swim meet last night, and it sure paid off. She had her best meet of the year and her team beat Oakland. Lance, Alexa (his sis), Uncle Curt, Aunt Barb, Kelsey, Kristi and myself all were there to cheer her on. After the meet we went to the Harrisson Road House for dinner and it was mighty tasty! I had a lot of fun watchin my little sis kick some BOOTY!!!!! Good job Betsy!!!!!

Lance's sister Alexa attended her first swim meet ever....a bit warmer than snowboarding like she is used to.

As you can see Betsy was way excited to have us there....wish I could come every time to watch!

As you can tell the pumpkins went down hill fast. They turned moldy and died right after I made a post about how healthy they were. RIP pumpkins!!

OU swimming

Today I was working out in the rec center at OU and I went to say hi to Peter because I noticed they had a swim meet today. When I went on deck I had an old Texas Swimming shirt on and Peter didn't like that so much so he gave me a new OU swimming and diving shirt. Lovely...Thanks Peter!!!

Dirty Dreams

Here is a video of Dirty snoring her little head off during her nap today. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and hear her snoring, she sounds like a person....bless her heart. Anyway I thought you might like this mom. By the way it is only 10 degrees out today and there is a pet advisory so I am real glad that little miss Dirty is inside with me and not sitting in the window box back home. Turn up your volume and listen to her cute little snores :)

Pumpkins in Winter

In early October my roomate Angie got these REAL pumpkins from her mom's compost pile in their back yard. She brought them back to our apartment to help decorate for Halloween and Thanksgiving. Well the pumpkins are still ALIVE and are not showing any signs of giving up. I guess they turned out to be Christmas, New Years and Valentines day decorations as well. I'm beginning to wonder how long these things are supposed to live.

Potty in the Living Room

I recently went to visit Lance and we went over to his dad's house and found the bathroom walls knocked down and the toilet and bathtub now in the wide open living room. He is remodeling his house and figures that because he lives alone it is no big deal to leave the toilet in the living room while he rebuilds different walls. I thought this was worth blogging because it made us laugh. Some people are just more easy going than others I guess. Lets just hope dad doesnt do this to our house when he and mom decided to remodel.

Don't worry we are not really going!!!

TENS machine fun

Lance hurt his knee is basketball yesterday so I recommended that he try the TENS machine. I helped him put the electrodes on his knee and that was that.....or so I thought. When I came back he had the electrodes on his arm and he and his friend were laughing so hard they were almost crying. Here is a funny clip of our self amusing fun...........

Right at Home

Dirty is feeling right at home. She and Smokes got some new toys and Dirty is lovin life as a house kitty. She did say that she misses you mom!

Dirty's New Home

Tonight will be Dirty's first night in her new home....pray that everything goes well. She seems to be doing quite well already. The ride to my apartment...3 hours, was tough for her, she cried and panted the entire way, but now she looks to be happy and at home. I am so glad she does not have to spend the winter outside and alone now. I will keep you posted on how she adjusts to life as a house kitty.

There is no place like home

Piper and Nola part 1

Because I have so many pictures of my nieces , and because they are so cute....I have decided to post in 2 parts....here it goes....................Piper spent the week before Christmas at my parent's house. We had a lot of fun, minus the fact that we got up to "play" at 7 am every morning. We got to play outside in the snow, help grandpa hang bird feeders and we even got to eat apples like boys....I had a good time babysitting and I think Piper had a good time too.

Nola is getting so big, she is such a little peanut! I miss her already!!!

"Super" Piper!!!!!

World's smallest and cutest santa!

All tuckered out, but it sure was fun!

Stay in Hawaii!!!!
