Survivor Update #9

This had to be the funniest show (tribal council) EVER. I was peeing my pants when crystal was YELLING her vote...I still chuckle when I think about it. and what they did to randy will go down in the books! tooo tooo funny! I was so glad to see randy go, and I'm sure he will be very interesting at the jury. How dumb was kenny? he had way over $500 and never even bought anything in the auction???

Cancun!!

so we just booked our vacation for mexico next year!!!! i'm sooooo excited! the only bad part is it will take up 5 of my 10 vacation days...well worth it though. All the frozen margaritas i could ask for...a swim up bar...the ocean. (i'm blocking the fact that iguanas live in mexico) hopefully I wont have to get an upclose experience with one.

trip to N&KO house

NKOTB - all nicole needs is a child starting with a B and she would have those initials... how cool.














we went to albany to visit new baby timmy- who was born just 5 days before audrey. He seems to be much farther along in the world though- eating 3 meals a day, using his exerciser, he has rolled over...audrey is still a little munchkin, she can kick though :) i liked this picture since it looks like she is trying to kicking timmy in the face. we had alot of fun- we went to the saratoga battlefield historic park and walked around. We saw lots of deer and they didnt even run from us. I also got 3 stamps for my national park passport book. sat night we stayed in and played parchessi, i havent played it in forever- keith and nicole are experts with strategies and everything and somehow i won twice. so that was fun of course.

Survivor Update #8

strike one for becky... i think its funny that kenny think he is like the rat of the group because of the way he is playing. I think he is the rat because he actually looks like one!!! there are way too many people I dont like on this season and only a few that I do...

its only tuesday...

for some reason this week has been really long already...and it just started.
halloween was fun- here is the puppy/baby picture from friday night. they all did so good- we walked them before the picture so that they would be calm- however we forgot that they will be panting- so the puppies dont look that cute in the pictures, they just look thirsty!

we only got 14 trick or treaters, i was very disappointed...

saturday we decided to drive up the delaware river to do some leaf peeping...we went to a couple of garage sales along the way, ate lunch in a cute little jersey town, and stopped at an apple festival. we got a nice bookshelf at a garage sale and a nice frame. We got stuck in some traffic along the way and we were behind a child molester van filled to the brim with what looked like trash to me. then after following the van for probably 10 minutes in stop and go traffic someone started moving around in the back of it. some mexican guy was in the van squished against the back door, looked like he had been sleeping then woke up. It was pretty creepy. i tried to take a picture but didnt get a good one.

Survivor Update #6

the first victims of survivor...i'm shocked that sugar believed kenny... i dont think that was their best move, Not sure how they plan to win challenges with a pinup model, computer game player, a supposed olympic athelete, and matty. Luckily for them it looked like the merge will happen next week. I'm not like corinne or randy...I would like to see them go next.

9 WORDS/PHRASES WOMEN USE

I got this in a forward today...thought it was all too true

(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with Nothing usually end in Fine.

(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

(5) Loud Sigh: This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of Nothing.)

(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, so do not question or faint. Just say you're welcome. (This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' ... that will bring on a 'Whatever').

(8) Whatever: Is a women's way of saying 'up yours'!

(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to #3

getting ready for halloween

we are finally getting ready for halloween, no costume party for us this year...i'm sad, especially seeing all the fun halloween pictures everyone has been posting. i'm excited to actually hand out candy this year. we closed on our house last year on halloween- but the neighborhood didnt really know we lived here so we only got a few trick or treaters, this year i am expecting alot more. we carved our pumpkin tonight and audrey has her devil costume all set. I went to buy the native american baby costume and they were all sold out, everywhere i looked. i'll post some pics of all the dogs and audrey on halloween. Audreys daycare is doing a parade too- so i will atleast get to go to that.

it snowed in PA today...we got about 1-2 inches this morning but by 5 most of it had melted away. i couldnt believe it though- it was so nice! i realized by living here how much i love and miss snow.

Survivor Update #5

oh that fang tribe is a pretty sad bunch... i hope they merge or something soon...

Halloween

i'm taking a vote...what should audrey be for halloween? i bought her a little onesie outfit, simple, red with a tail and horns and it says 'my lil devil' on it- however i'm thinking i want something else.

she could be a hot pepper like this:














or a native american girl:














what do you think?

this is for her daycare parade and for giving out candy from our house...she isnt actually trick or treating this year...

Survivor Update #3

Dumb people as usual on survivor...do you think they edit all that to make the viewers mad? I mean kelly did nothing in the challenge, kenny did even less and they vote off the person who actually did something in the challenge...

Hatfield = animals

so most people know we used to live in west bumf*k, NY....lived out in the country where you would *think* animals aplenty.... well we moved to the North suburbs of philadelphia and I didnt think we would encounter the zoo. This weekend we had two sightings/adventures. Reminder that a few months ago we had some groundhog fiascos and we saw a fox once in the woods...well saturday late morning we saw 3 deer slowly meandering behind our fence...pretty cool to see- nothing crazy there. but we never even saw deer in our yard in portville. so i was impressed. sighting #1
sighting #2 - sunday morning audrey woke us up at 7 ish. i fed her and was hoping she would fall back asleep...she didnt so at about 8:15 ryan got up and took her downstairs. I went back to bed. about 2 minutes after ryan left i heard our lovely poms barking in the backyard- no shock there. well then i heard murphy bark and the poms were getting more and more crazy with their barking. so i knew something was wrong. my first thought was oh great they got a squirrel. so i go into the bathroom and open the window to see whats going on. they are barking at a tree just outside the fence. Then i see a black tail and thought it was a squirrel, only then do i see the huge raccoon body attached to the tail. it was crawling down the tree (6 inches from the fence) towards the dogs. I go screaming down the stairs for ryan to go out and get the dogs. luckily ryan got the dogs to come inside and the raccoon went running off into the woods. I hope it wasnt rabid or that it comes back. it was atleast twice the size of linus.
I would have expected any of this where we used to live but not at our new house.

Survivor Update #2
