So I realize my blogging as of late has been less than exciting.  Since I keep giving unfilled promises, I will just post like nothing ever happened.  : )

On Tuesday we had this crazy storm.  I had no idea what was going on, but the strangest thing in the sky happened.  It wasn’t raining or anything, the sun was shining.  Then we looked out and there was this line of clouds.  And not any line, a split in the sky – like hell was above and redemption was below.  Strangest, but somewhat coolest thing ever.

Weird right?

I think tonight is one of those, oh my god I think I’m going to fall on my face because I’m so tired.  I am so beyond sick of doing homework.  I had an entire day, literally, entire DAY yesterday of reading.  Around 10-11 hours.  Man.  Man.  Man.  It fried my brain.  So, I think this is my remedy.  Take 4 and call me in the morning.

I haven’t been able to post, because A) taking care of Erik (including our date), and B) because my desk, looks like this:

i.e. I HAVE SO MUCH HOMEWORK!

Okay, yea, so maybe I can take 20 minutes to write a post.  Maybe.  I’m only doing it because I’m taking 2 minutes to eat. (I’m a poor liar – I’m coming back to this hours and hours later)

So yea, back to what I have been meaning to post about for forever (not sure if you noticed but this empty post has been up awhile – I’m trying to find a new way to photo blog).  Father’s Day was obviously this Sunday.  We had originally planned for a nice day of picnic-ing and boating.  That, sadly did not happen.  Patti didn’t realize she was going to have a rough day – but that’s what Patti had.  Not completely my fault!  The boat’s still not running, so it’s half the boats fault.  Nahnahnah.

Anyway, I still mustered up enough strength to make a yummy dinner.     And you thought that was going to be the strange end of the post, right?  Well, it wasn’t, I just never finished.  : )

So, anyway, back to Father’s Day (almost a week later…heh…I’m on time).  We did have a wonderful dinner, and we gave Brandon the cards we had bought him.

Erik prefers to open everyone’s card for them.  Even if he gave it to you.

So we ate our wonderful pasta dinner that Brandon had asked for.  Life was good – and the day became less hard.  I was happy to have spent it with such a wonderful husband anyway.  Love, you are an amazing father, and Erik is lucky to have you.  He knows it too.  You can tell by the way he looks at you and calls your name in the middle of the night when he’s afraid.  The love you two share makes me heart feel full when I watch you, and I wanted to thank you for that.  Happy Father’s Day, my love.

Life has been uncharacteristically busy.  Not that I’m complaining, but, I’m tired.

I remember when I was a kid, and I used to get sheets of stickers.  I was always so excited, and I would carefully place them in my sticker book.  I would very rarely let someone have one, or waste them by sticking them on your hand or something.  Erik, on the other hand, likes to rip them up and stick them everywhere.  Including the dog.

Kind of fitting, right?

Drake likes to lay like this to sleep at night.  In fact, he barely moves.  One would think he was dead.

He even lets me put George on him.  Oh, Drake.  You are too funny.

He also likes to roll in dead fish.  Yes, dead fish.  One of the most disgusting things ever, and I’m sure you can imagine the smell.  So he gets washed, in the lake.  So much easier than the bath tub, right?  And my lovely, oh so smart Drake, will stick his head under water if you throw a rock.  So, alas, really easy to wash him.

I also got to shoot some pictures of Brandon.  He decided to be an ass at the end.

After Drake gets in the lake, and I’m sure it’s from putting his head underwater, he gets lots of water in his ears.  He runs his head along the floor to get the water out.  It’s totally spastic, but quite funny.

Last Friday was really a beautiful day out, so I ran around and took some pictures around the lake.

I think I’ve mentioned before that Logan sleeps with Erik at night.  Apparently Erik’s bed has turned just as much into Logan’s bed.

Yes, I realize there are more pictures of the dogs than the kid this post.  That’s okay.  They’re cute too.

So Saturday was my cousin Suzie’s daughter’s birthday party.  We ran around a lot, watched the kids play, socialized, and ate.  Of course, we ate.  Lots and lots of eating.  Wonderful.  : )

Here are a few shots from the party.  I will not bore you with lots of captions, okay well not too much.

Yes, I was in a dress.  I know, amazing.  It was hot!

The kids were playing a game, and apparently the boys were too cool to jump.

They then had a lovely water balloon fight.

While the kids were watering each other, Erik and Brandon jumped onto the trampoline.

Then all the kids wentswimming, and after much persuasion Erik finally went in.

He was trying to make a running jump into the pool.

And when he got there, he stopped.  Haha.  Funny.

After much swimming, they finally decided to do the cake.  And the amazing yummy cake was a homemade ice cream cake made by Suzie.  Awesome job, dear.

We finished the whole cake.  Seriously.  It was that good.

Well that was pretty much it for the party.  I will alas leave you with one of my favorite shots with the day as I normally do.

Oh Steve, you rule.

I have more pictures from Father’s Day.  I will put them in the next post.  Maybe it won’t be as long.

Last night was good. We went to the Cortland Relay For Life. Jen looks happy.

I love this quote about facebook from a slate.com article.

“In theory, a huge number of friends means you’re really, really popular. In reality, the omnidirectionally friendly typically strike us as untrustworthy and maybe even a little lame.”

Is it weird to anyone else that when you see people quote the Bible – there are only a few books people quote from?  Even during homilies and what not.  For example, you see the book of Job quoted often.  John, Corinthians, Peter, Chronicles, Ezra (lots of Gospels).  Psalms and Proverbs too.  A lot from the NT.

What about all of those other books from the OT?  All of those stories.  IDK, kind of makes me wonder.

Weird what I think about at 1 in the morning.

I don’t quite understand how this is possible, since my contract isn’t up this year.

Damn you Apple.

Gotta tell ya, Apple is so insanely good at making you want what you never thought you needed.

But alas, I don’t literally, need it. Need and desire are very different, eh?

Like I said, I won’t be getting the new iPhone 4.  Even if apple wants me to.

Sad.

So I really haven’t taken any good pictures lately.  Maybe I have lost my inspiration.  Who knows, but honestly, they kind of suck.  Oh well.  Here goes, anyway.

So, the reason I haven’t posted in 100 years is mainly because I’ve been sick.  Like I said, last Friday Erik and I went with my friend Jen to get her a new puppy.  The weekend was good.  We didn’t do anything too overly interesting.  I had a bridal shower to go to on Saturday for Brandon’s cousin Kristin (who I’ve actually known since I was probably about 14-15).  I managed to get a couple of shots, but like I said, my pictures suck right now.

Kristin is obviously the one in the coral-ish color.  It was a nice shower, anyway.  : )

Then Saturday night Erik spent the night at Brandon’s mother’s house.  So, we ended up with an unexpected date night.  No plans and an empty house meant that Brandon and I went and got some yummy wine and stuff for ice cream sundaes.  And of course a couple of movies.  Avatar, anyone?  -oh and in case you were wondering, the wine was from Goose Watch and it was Rose of Isabella, totally yummy, we drank the whole bottle

Sunday we spent a quiet evening at home.  I got sick Sunday night, very badly.  My stomach was not doing well – I have a very sensitive stomach to say the least.  After being up till around midnight getting sick I finally passed out.  I did feel a little better Monday, but still ended up laying in bed most of the day.  I wasn’t inspired to write anything that day, or take pictures.  My apologies.

Yesterday though I did take a couple of shots.  Brandon and I have commenced the work we promised we would do over the winter.  As we don’t appear to be the best people at sticking to our words – especially when it involves actually spending money – we didn’t work on the boat at all so we are having to do it now.  Unfortunately, it won’t start, so lots of work must be done.  We haven’t spent any time on the lake this year so far, and it is honestly, just, sad.

Oh silly boat.

When Brandon and I were working on the boat last night, Erik decided he was going to walk Logan.  Ha, I know, right?  So, Logan walked Erik.

Don’t worry, he was fine, promise.

Well as today as been horribly rainy and unexciting, alas, no pictures again, today.  I do however have a few more shots, but, no story to go with them, so just, enjoy.  Even though, honestly, they’re bad.  I’m just warning you now.

Oh – I do have a couple more pictures with a story.  A few weeks ago Ashley asked Erik if he would like some of her pear.  She of course thought he would since the kid likes fruit more than he does candy, or chocolate, or cake, or well, most everything.  Anyway, he said no.  He didn’t like pears.  He of course has never had them.  Typical kid.  Well, when we are the store not that long ago, he decided he liked pears and wanted to buy some.  Again, he had never tried them, but, whatever.  So, he tried them, and guess what?!  He likes them.  Surprised?  Yea, us either.

I had to take pictures for physical evidence, of course.

Alright, I have to go read my Bible.  I finished reading the book I bought on my nook before vacation.  It was called Pillars of the Earth. Very good.  I highly recommend it.
