kitties - foot update - concert

Kitties-
last night our kittie* just had kittens!!! im so excited!!!

we have 5 baby kittens!! 2 black ones, 1 grey, 1 grey stripedy, and one grey/black/orange spots!!! i was worried that she would have her babies while my mom and dad were gone, but she lad them last night! they are so cute!!

i love them already!

im sad that we cant keep them though, so if your in the market for a super cute kittie, let me know!!! we can give them away in about 6 weeks or so!!!

i love watching kitties grow up!

*even though techincally our "kittie" is a grandma... (her babies from last spring had babies this year! happy granny-hood!) she is still "kittie" to us! she is so small compared to all of the other cats we have had.. and also, i cant remember her name.. i think kitties real name is Halley, but i can never remember it.. and neither can anyone else, we all call her kittie-^ this is my kittie last summer- sunbathing, and watching the fishies swimmin!

^i cant pass up a good opportunity to post a pic of kittie and me--- it took me quite a while to get kittie used to me, finally she was ok with sitting on my lap when we would watch the fishies swim--- she is a good kittie, she will follow me to the mailbox, and she will watch my car when im in the house.. when i say watch my car, i mean sit on my car.. its more her car than it is mine-- i like it that way!

foot-
so things are looking up... about thursday night i started walking on my foot! ouch, but it was needed! i was glad too because we had a concert to go to on friday(see below!)..

today i went to work for 2 hours, and i hobbled around like a granny without her cane- celeste came in to be my backup, so as soon as i got tired, she jumped right in and saved my skins!

tomorrow i go to the doctor to see if he will take the remaining 2 stitches out.. i hope he wont! there is still a nice gap that isnt healing yet--

i will be going to work on tuesday for my first real shift, 11am-5pm... i hope i last, it should be nice and steady.. hopefully!

anyway i have pictures if anyone is interested-- its quite..um...gross! but who knows, some people might enjoy seeing my foot at its worst...

[have you ever had stitches or a wound that took way too long to heal???]

concert

on friday Tyler Celeste and i went to the Avalon to see MAE!

while waiting in line i saw Blaine(**hi Blaine!**) and my new friend Allison drive up.. we waved them over, we got to enjoy the show in great company!

while waiting patiently for Mae, Blaine, Allison and i spotted the Keyboarder from the band Between the Trees

BTT put on a great show, so we decided it was mandatory to take a pic!



wooot it was fun!

compared to the last concert....this one was great! well, both were really good, but i must say, that not having to worry about a big orange blob really makes the show worth seeing!

so im super excited about the next show- not sure when it will be, but i am excited! im always good for shows!

that was fun! i need to listen to more music when i sleep...hmmm...

Power/feet/vampires

**power outage**

sunday night about 7:30pm the power went out, perfect timing too! it was quite an awkward home teaching session! dad went to the resturant to help fix things there, while mom,hoove and i got things ready...

we went upstairs, gathered blankets, pillows, pjs, lambies, toothbrushes..all the essentials.. hoovie and i decided that the girls should have a sleepover in the TV room, mostly because there is a fireplace there, so if it got too cold without the power, we could just flip the switch and be instantly warm... we played our DS' by candle light till i started getting sick from playing in the dark..

dad and celeste came home, with food in hand! yum! and we all settled down for the night!
at about 10:30pm the power came back on! ugh! right when we had just relaxed, almost asleep... the light in the tv room came on, and in the kitchen, and the hallway..ugh, lights on everywhere!
celeste made a mad dash and turned the off fast!! and we drifted back to sleep!

** foot update**

yesterday i got all but 2 stitched removed, and next monday ill go back to have them all removed...

i am able to walk on the ball of my foot, just not very far, and still i prefer to hop and crawl...

mom and dad bought me a cane, i made a request for a fun cane carved out of wood with a bunch of animals on it, but i just got a plain black one from walmart...

its getting better, but i hope to be walking by next monday--- poo poo!


**vampire weekend**

no...its not an event where everyone dresses up like vampires and walks the town all weekend long...(reminds me of zombie walks!!)

Vampire Weekend is a band, a pretty good band too! (myspace site!)

celeste, michael and i got to see them last night....

let me rephrase: michael and celeste got to see them, and i got to see a big blob of orange move up and down to the tunes of VW.... i must explain!!!

with my foot still being..um..not working.. i got to stand at the bar while michael and celeste got to enjoy the concert(with the rest of the crowd)-

i had quite a perfect place at the bar, i could see the stage, and i had somewhere to rest.. i was happy!

about 3 min before the show started this rather large fellow came and stood right in front of me, his girlfriend leaning on the bar like me, and because he likes his girlfriend, he stands right infront of ME, so he dosent block his girlfriends view.... he had a very odd, very bright orange polo on, and he kept jabbing me with his elbow, while he was trying to record the band with his cellphone- he would bob up and down for the most part of the songs, then he would just stop wipe his brow, and throw a couple of fist punches into the air and yell.."yeah" and "woo".. and on the songs that he didnt know(lameo! who goes to a concert, stands infront of an injured girl, and only knows 4 of the bands songs!!) he would kiss his girlfriend, and talk way loud... and lift up his arms to share that wonderful oder that he has been producing with all his bobbing, and fist jabs... ick---

anyway, long story short, if you have an injured foot and you decide to attend a great indie show, just make sure the the big orange blob dosent stand infront of you..it just might ruin your night!

but it really was a good show- and in just 3 days celeste tyler and i get to go to Mae

im very excited! its good to get back into the concert groove again!
