Patrick in AZ?

Is that the Candyman lurking in the shadows behind Jess? Nah that's just drunk Patrick.

Hiccups

I don't know what the pics I'm sending from my phone aren't posting.... I'll try again.

New stamps

Yay! I just bought some DC Comics stamps...

Night Night

Time for M.A.S.H. and bedtime.... good ole M.A.S.H. 4077

Yowza

My Grandma says I lost weight. I don't think so but DAMN! Check out that profile! I have a seriously sweet ass. I just can't stop looking at it. :) The stairs pay off. Woohoo!

Home Sweet Home

It feels so good to be home. I love to travel but there is nothing better than coming home and sleeping in your own bed. It just feels right. Besides I don't start spontaneously sweating as soon as I go outside. My sunglasses haven't fogged up once. I know now that I never really want to move away from here unless it's to California. I don't think I could take the humidity or the constant swamp ass for longer then a week. With that being said. It celebration of today being a non-sw'ass day, it's also been a free day if you know what I mean. Commando never feels so good as it does in the desert.

Intimidation.

If it breaks on the way up we're screwed!

Going down?

Longest escaltor in the Western Hemisphere!

Orioles vs. Rangers

It's hot and sweaty with swamp ass in the forecast.

Today's events...

Today was really cool. I got to see a bunch of my cousins that I normally don't see. My Uncle Tom's son, wife, and his son-in-law. They are awesome folks. I also got to see my cousin Kathy and her boyfriend Arthur. Arthur is a fun guy, he's from India and works in insurance. On the weekends they help out at a vineyard and reap the benefits. I wish I could get back here more often to see and be with these guys.

My cousin John and his wife Kathy have a full bar in their basement. I told my parents that when I buy a house this was going to be their housewarming present to me. I need to start looking for a house so I can have my own bar. We head back to DC tomorrow. Maybe we'll stop at the shore maybe not.

It's time for bed... drank tooo much... 4 Buds and 1 Utica Club.

Things that thouroughly gross me out...

1. The liquid on top of the sour cream. I am never the one that opens it and stirs it. It gives me the dry heaves.
2. Skin diseases [i.e. ringworm (Tinea corpus)] things that are generally oozy and crusty. Whenever a wrestler asks me "Do you think this is ringworm?" I make them stand across the room from me.


That's all I can think of at the moment. Only two things gross me out. Not a bad list at all.

Family Vacations and More!

This has been a whirlwind occasion. My brother is working for a Representative so he gives tours and writes letters and sees how our government works close up. I'm kind of envious of him for being given this opportunity. What's a family vacation without arguing. My brother and I have little spats here and there, I guess that's why we're much closer when we're in separate cities. Anywho, we've walked about 20 miles or more in the past two days. My toe has a blister that scared the crap out of me. I thought it was some weird growth but it's a blister none the less.

Tonight we're in Cranston, NJ. We had dinner with my Uncle Jim and Aunt Pat. We also got to see the childhood home of my dad and uncles and the schools they went to. Pretty cool. The houses and schools back here are really awesome. They each have sooo much history. Never in Phoenix would you see people driving by houses and saying that's where I grew up... it's changed owners ... x times. Craziness!

My brother wants his laptop back so I have to be going. Picture updates to follow.

Flight time!

Prepare for take off.

When glitter attacks...

And I'm not talking about that crappy Mariah Carey movie either. I went shopping last night. Of course I got attracted to the shirt that was all shiny and pretty. What I thought were really tiny twinkling rhinestones was really silver glitter glued to the shirt. I got the shirt on. Looked okay. Then I noticed that there was a slight silvery glittery mist in the dressing room. Oh shnikes! How am I going to get this one off now without become the Silverglitter Yeti. Needless to say the glitter stuck to my face and chest. Especially since I had that "I just came in from the hellish outdoors" glow to me. I had to do the rest of my shopping with people staring at me wondering if I was completely insane for putting glitter in random spots on my face or if it was a disease of some sort. The glitter is like no other glitter though. It is stuck in my pores! I have exfoliated my skin 3 times now. The glitter is still there. At this rate I'll be pooping glitter for the next week!

Arrowhead

Nice cool water bottle pillow.

Kitten of Doom

How much trouble can a 2.5lb kitten get into while I'm in the shower? Apparently, quite a bit. He got up on the bathroom sink and chewed on my hair brush. But the most impressive part is that he went potty in the litter box and then got on the toilet seat and unrolled the toilet paper to cover his potty. Monkey see monkey do.
