Let's see, what's been happening lately... We had Gavin & Clara the end of last week & the beginning of this week, so there were hobbits underfoot. Mom keeps Julia while Jennalee is at work & that one was not happy that she had to share her Grammie! They did help distract me from what was going on Tuesday, which also happened to be my 30th birthday. The socialist may try to ruin my country, but he wasn't going to crap all over my birthday too!
I've been spending waaay too much time playing Travian & reading. Yes, I'm a Twilight fan. *sigh* I picked up the first book out of morbid curiosity, but ended up liking it, so now I have the whole series. And yes, they did screw up the movie.
I'm getting caught up on reading other people's blogs, so I keep getting sidetracked from writing this little post. And Crumpet keeps getting in my face with the purring & trying to steal chenille sticks...

Quotable Movie Meme
Yet another movie meme, this one snitched from SWG...
Here's the deal
Look up 15 of your favorite movies on IMDB.
Take a quote from each and post them for your readership to properly identify.
As your movie-savvy readers correctly identify the quotes’ cinematic origins in the comments, strike out the quotes and name the commenter who answered correctly.
If the commenter also identifies the name of the speaker (the character or the actor), he or she gets bonus points in the form of a link to his or her site.
1."This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then - explode." - Captain Malcolm Reynolds, played by Nathan Fillion, in Serenity - Oh, Hell of Hell in a Basket
2. "Oh, it's nobody's fault but my own! I was looking up... it was the nearest thing to heaven! You were there..."
3."To be born, or at any rate bred in a handbag, whether it have handles or not, seems to me to display a contempt for the ordinary decencies of family life which reminds one of the worst excesses of the French revolution, and I presume you know what that unfortunate movement led to?" - Lady Bracknell, The Importance of Being Earnest - Eric of Straight White Guy
4. "It is a great nuisance. I can't find anyone else to talk to. I'm so full of interesting information, I feel like the latest edition of something or other. Well, after some consideration... so much to do, there's only one thing to be done. There comes a time in every son's life when he must, indeed, follow his father's advice: I shall go to bed at once."
5."Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony." - Dennis the Peasant, Monty Python and The Holy Grail - Walrilla of Walrilla's Wonderings
6."Speak friend and enter." - Frodo Baggins or Gandalf the Grey, LotR: The Fellowship of the Ring - Walrilla
7."Oh yes we could. Spoilin' nice fish. Give it to us raw and w-r-r-riggling; you keep nasty chips." - Gollum, LotR; The Two Towers - Walrilla
8."Certainty of death, *small* chance of success... What are we waiting for?" Gimli, played by John Phys-Davies, LotR: Return of the King - The Night Writer
9."I just want you to feel you're doing well. I hate for people to die embarrassed." - Andre the Giant as Fezzik, The Princess Bride - Walrilla
10. "Dear Diary, Today I tried not to think about Mr. Knightly. I tried not to think about him when I discussed the menu with Cook... I tried not to think about him in the garden where I thrice plucked the petals off a daisy to ascertain his feelings for Harriet. I don't think we should keep daisies in the garden, they really are a drab little flower."
11. "I will simply deny you the crown and live... forever!"
12."I am no longer astonished at you knowing only *six* accomplished women, Mr Darcy, I rather wonder at your knowing *any*." - Elizabeth Bennett, Pride and Prejudice - Walrilla
13."Kevin, this is possibly the most adorable creature I've ever been in contact with, and if she turns out to be as good looking as a mailbox... I would be crazy enough to turn my life upside down and marry her." Joe Fox, played by Tom Hanks in You've Got Mail - The Night Writer
14."Look, I... I may not be an explorer, or an adventurer, or a treasure-seeker, or a gunfighter, Mr. O'Connell, but I am proud of what I am. ... *I* am a librarian." - Evie Carnahan, The Mummy - Eric
15. "So... Here's to the men who did what was considered wrong, in order to do what they knew was right..."
Feel free to Google the actors or characters...

Happenings...
So, since it's been a while, I'll get y'all caught up on what's been going on...
(I had a boatload of stuff to blog when I was thinking about it earlier, but now it's all slipped my mind. Hmph!)
Let's see, we had two clients from work - ages 14 & 15, steal the cottage car & take a little jaunt to Emporia, about 70 miles away. They were caught there & are being charged with felonies for car theft, obstruction of justice & eluding an officer. In a beat-up Neon, no less. Needless to say, they'll not be back, for a while at least.
Dad went in to get some bumps taken off his head. The lab called back to report that the bumps were cancerous, so he's got to go back in & have the doc dig a little deeper where they were. He, his dad & one brother have all had skin cancer spots removed & Grandpa died of prostate cancer, so he probably shouldn't let this go too long.
I've had a knot under my right shoulder blade for last month. I started taking the pain med that I've been prescribed several times before but ended up having a bad reaction - dizziness, shortness of breath, shaking, headaches, etc. & almost passed out in the doctor's office. Quite lovely. So now I get to go through withdrawal since it turns out the med (Ultram or Tramadal) is addicting. Even more lovely. But it keeps getting better, even the knot since she upped the Naproxen (Aleve) to 3 times a day & the muscle relaxer to twice a day.
I have a new game of obsess over - The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Absolutely love it! I played it at my cousin Jay's & then ordered a copy for myself. Once it came I found out that it wouldn't run on either computer, so I ordered memory, a DVD drive & video card from Newegg.com. I should be able to get everything finished up when the video card gets here tomorrow.
I also turned 29 last month. It's turning into a slippery slide to 30.
One more thing - I mentioned in a post a while back that Peanut & Belle are pregnant. Well, Kat is now due around October. Three new babies next summer & fall. :-)

New House...
A few pictures of the new house. All off-white walls - which I personally think is unacceptable, but that's just me. :-(
The entryway, view from the front door - the floors are laminate. The piano is now against the wall on the lower right side. The two bedrooms are off to the right side, the living is to the left, the kitchen is down the hallway around the corner & the bathroom is at 12 o'clock.
The kitchen - the fridge is a commercial one! The island with the stove is topped by black marble. The flooring is linoleum.
The kitchen from another angle. The built-in BBQ grill is original & the stone is all the backside of the fireplace in the living room. There is a circle all the way around the fireplace that gets used as a racetrack when Bobo & Little Man are here. Boo also walks it, making sure all is as it should be in her house.
The living room - the fireplace is on the left side. There are now blue sheers up on the window.
The dining room, from by the fireplace in the living room. We have Heritage Lace curtains up on the window now & a curio cabinet in the corner. We are loving the laminate flooring, especially when the kids are here - no more peeling gooey food out of the carpet after meals.We're still in the process of moving, but we've had the whole family out several times. Dad bought a go-cart "for the grandkids" (yeah, right, whatever you say...) & it has gotten lots of use. I got to go to East Lake yesterday evening with Flanders, Ramone, Jer & Jay to play with Jay's new jetski. That was so. much. fun! Jay managed to throw Ramone off once when practicing tight doughnuts at top speed. Ramone & Jer both tried (a bit) to toss me off, but I managed to stay on, thanks to years of horseback riding. Jer & I didn't get to stay completely dry though, as we flipped it over whilst trying to load it onto the trailer. Always glad to give the guys a reason to laugh...

Useless Fluff
| You Are Mud Pie |
 You're the perfect combo of flavor and depth Those who like you give into their impulses |
Mmmm... chocolate...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| You Are a Chocolate Cake |
 Fun, comforting, and friendly. You are a true classic, and while you're not super cutting edge, you're high quality. People love your company - and have even been known to get addicted to you. |
Mmmm... chocolate...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| You Are Smores |
 Unusual and unconventional, you make your strange ways work for you. You've got personality - no one's denying that! |
Mmmm... chocolate...
I think I'm noticing a wee bit of a trend here...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| You Will Not Be a Cool Parent |
 And that's pretty okay. While your kids may not think of you as a friend, they will respect you. You know that kids need discipline and structure, and you're not afraid to give it to them. Just be careful that your strictness doesn't lead to rebellion. It's good to have standards and rules, but you don't need to have an iron fist when enforcing them. |
Kids - the reason closets, duct tape & straight jackets were invented...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| You Should Own a Husky |
 Athletic, free-spirited, and perfect for cuddling |
I used to have two Huskies.
Mackenzie, Mac for shirt, was 1/2 Husky, 1/4 Rottie & a 1/4 German Shepherd. He was so cute & sweet, but unfortunately he hung himself from a friend's back porch when I was staying over. Yes. I had a dog who committed suicide.
Stetson was my other one & he was a purebred. I got him cheap from a breeder due to one testicle not dropping. He wasn't as lovey as Mac but he was stinkin' gorgeous. He was in my senior pictures but some dude stole him & Peanut's little Rachel. We know who did it but we can't prove it. He & a buddy would steal people's dogs & then sell them to a lab in Missouri for $250 / head.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| The Keys to Your Heart |
 You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free. In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved. You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy. You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic. Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets. Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. You think of marriage something you've always wanted... though you haven't really thought about it. In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted. |
Not too shabby...
With a tip o' the hat to the lovely lady Leslie...
Whoa...
No posts for 2 weeks! D'oh! Well, I'm back again. Been busy - moved from my house to the parental units' house. My house sold and Mom & Dad don't take possession of their new house until the 27th, so I'm in their current house for now. My poor kitties have to bow to the senior kitty, Boo, & so are now outside puddy-tats. The kittens are loving the fenced-in backyard but it's taking Sydney a bit to get used to it. She's dropped some weight after hiding out underneath the playhouse for the first 3-4 days. Poor Rumsfeld was going to be too neglected with my crazy schedule, so he went to the Humane Society. There was already someone coming to look at him before we left. Hopefully he's with someone who can give him the attention & room he needs.
I guess I forgot to mention that Mom & Dad bought a new house. It's 10 acres (I think), west of town with - get this - a firing range!!! Waa-hoo! *happy dance* LH is probably going to be doing some of his concealed-carry classes out there.
The family reunion has been cancelled. The Wyoming portion of the family wasn't going to be able to make it & Mom, Dad & I are moving during that week, so it just wasn't going to work. And I emailed the lady in charge of the church's women's retreat & explained my schedule, so I'm off that commitee. Mom is still on it though, so I'll end up helping anyway. :-)

Poor Dead Language
Your Score: Older Futhark
You scored
Language of the Norse, Older Futhark! Thirty symbols, all told. And no hardier, more warrior-like tongue has ever graced the longships of the Viki or left the Celts and Saxons in such quivering fear. There's only one drawback, that being you died 800 years ago.

Viking longships - reminded me of when I taught the story of Jonah to Mom's kindergarten class several weeks ago. The boys in the class turned the boats on their colouring sheets into Viking ships, complete with oars, shields & the dragons on the front. One was on fire & the helmeted captain had fallen overboard, along with the rest of the crew.

Spirited Personality?
Your brain: 100% interpersonal, 160% visual, 60% verbal, and 80% mathematical!
Congratulations on being 400% smart! Actually, on my test, everyone is. The above score breaks down what kind of thinking you most enjoy doing. A score above 100% means you use that kind of thinking more than average, and a score below 100% means you use it less. It says nothing about how good you are at any one, just how interested you are in each, relatively. A substantial difference in scores between two people means, conclusively, that they are different kinds of thinkers.
Matching Summary: Each of us has different tastes. Still, I offer the following advice, which I think is obvious:
- Don't date someone if your interpersonal percentages differ by more than 80%.
- Don't be friends with someone if your verbal percentages differ by more than 100%.
- Don't have sex with someone if their math percentage is over 200%.

LALOLKFATYK!
I was (kinda-sorta) hit by Leslie, who knows I'd jump on the bandwagon anyway, so here's the newest gig in Bloggy-Town:
WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
First name - no. Middle name - the same as The Mothership's first.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
All out cried - can't remember. Tearing up crying - last week at work when I had a serious conversation with a girl who had come back from being on the run.
DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
Sometimes. It's an odd mix of cursive & printing, and although it's started to look more like Mom's, it's also getting sloppier as I scribble milieus at work.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
Honey or mesquite turkey.
DO YOU HAVE KIDS?
Do the cat & dog count? Other than that, I'm just an old-maid Auntie.
IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?
Yeah, I like odd people.
DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT?
Sarcasm!?! Me?!? Never! Umm... I mean, yes.
DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS?
They're done gone - had them out when I was 12-ish. It was the only time I've stayed in a hospital as a patient.
WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP?
Oh, yes please. I'd be scared to death, but I'd still love to try it.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL?
Honey Bunches of Oats (like Leslie), Cinnamon Toast Crunch & Cap'n Crunch - I refuse to grow up!
DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF?
If they're tie-able, yes. I usually don't bother tie-able shoes, though. Give me high heels that'll slip off easily.
DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG?
Only compared to some. (Thank you, Princess Buttercup)
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM?
Some Dark Chocolate Mousse-y-ish stuff at Baskin Robbins. Rummy likes it too - he cleaned up the rest last time I had some.
WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE?
Sense of humor & attitude.
RED OR PINK?
Gimme red, baby.
WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF?
My fat - I'm well-insulated - and my health problems - they've completely changed the direction of my life, although I suppose it's been for the best. I wouldn't have the friends I have now & probably wouldn't even know what blogging was. :)
WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST?
My grandparents & (not to take the g'parents lightly, but) my horses.
WHAT COLOR PANTS AND SHOES ARE YOU WEARING?
Dark denim jeans & low black slip-on heels that I got on sale.
WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE?
A biscuit & gravy with nice thick bacon at Charlie's with Nic while we salivated over jewelry.
WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW?
The faint A/C here in the church worship center, at the tech booth. I don't have the know-how to run the sound system for music. :(
IF YOU WHERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE?
Could I be one that changes colors with my mood? I'm fickle.
FAVORITE SMELLS?
Coffee. Chocolate. Fresh cut grass. Rain. Babies - clean, unstinkified babies. Alfalfa. Leather, horses & sawdust. Givenchy Organza Indecence. Cherries & strawberries.
WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE?
The Mothership. And wonderful daughter that I am, I can't remember a thing we talked about! (Hey! I'm tired!)
FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH?
Drag-racing & any horse sports, preferably in person. I am going to Nascar at Kansas Speedway sometime in September - my uncle bought season tickets for the family to share.
HAIR COLOR[S]?
Brown, with blonde-ish streaks & some reddish highlights, au naturale. I used to color it red, but got tired of the fried look.
EYE COLOR?
Indecisive. All the paperwork says blue, but they can't decide if they're that or grey or green-ish.
DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS?
Nope, but I need to get glasses again.
FAVORITE FOOD?
Olives. Chocolate. Creme Brulee.
SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS?
Happy endings - me no likey scary stuff.
LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED?
The 3rd Pirates with the parental units, neither of whom had seen the first two.
WHAT COLOR SHIRT ARE YOU WEARING?
Navy - it's my work uniform, I haven't been home yet.
SUMMER OR WINTER?
Spring & Fall
HUGS OR KISSES?
From the hobbits - bring it on. From other people - I'm just not used to being touched that much.
FAVORITE DESSERT?
Chocolate or creme brulee. (I just had a creme brulee flavoured pie last night, so yeah... stuck on that flavour for a while.)
MOST LIKELY TO RESPOND?
Probably nobody, unless I can pester new blogger & real-life friend (yes, I do have some!) Luke to take some time from his work to do it. ;)
LEAST LIKELY TO RESPOND?
Does not compute...
WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW?

I think I turned it on once this week while I was sick - part of a re-run of Everybody Loves Raymond.
FAVORITE SOUND[S]?
Jazz saxophone or piano. Violin. Ella Fitzgerald. Louis Armstrong's trumpet. "Auntie Mawla" from the hobbits. The hobbits giggling. The baby-hobbits starting to talk & squeal.
ROLLING STONES OR BEATLES?
The Beatles, I guess. Not really into either.
WHAT IS THE FARTHEST YOU HAVE BEEN FROM HOME?
South - Juarez, Mexico. North - O'Neill, NE. East - Jacksonville, FL. West - Boulder, CO
DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL TALENT?
Making the kids at work cuss me out &/or adore me, often both within a minute or two. :D
WHAT IS A PLEASANT SURPRISE?
Hearing that the little hobbits are coming to visit or getting bloggy comments. Mmmm... comments... *drool*
WHERE WERE YOU BORN?
A hospital in Topeka, KS. Maybe St. Francis - cain't remember, I was born awful young. (Thank you, Curly)

Does not compute...
THE "LALOLKFATYK" MEME (Learn A Lot Of Little Known Facts About Those You Know)

Pick out ten favorite movies, then look them up at IMDb. In the overview at the
top of each movie’s page, there are "Plot Keywords," usually five of them. (Plus
more, if you click the link.) Take the first five, and post them. Then the rest
of us get to play movie buff and see if we can guess them.

| You Are A Romantic Realist |
 You tend to be grounded when it comes to romance. Sure, you can fall hard... but only for someone you've gotten to know. And once you're in love, you can be a total romantic goofball... But you'd never admit it to your friends! |
I'm a goofball without being in love! If that were to get any worse once I fall in love... ooooh boy.
~~~~~
| What Your Face Says |
 At first glance, people see you as warm and well-balanced. Overall, your true self is moody and dynamic. With friends, you seem thoughtful and interested in ideas. In love, you seem like a huge flirt. In stressful situations, you seem selfish and moody. |
A flirt!?! Ah... no. I don't even know how to flirt, unless it's a situation where everyone knows it's just a joke. (The goofball thing from above) And I've had bosses & coworkers tell me they haven't seen anyone stay as calm as I do in a crisis, so moody - not really.
~~~~~
I mentioned in the last post that I had the next 2 books in the series I'm reading waiting at home. Nope, the last 2 in the series are waiting at home. The next one should be in the mail & I just ordered books 8 & 9, so I should be set now.
And now the library is closing, so they're gonna kick me off the internet. Dagnabbit.

Ooops
I had to change the painting up in the title area. The Mothership pointed out something I'd not noticed - the chick had a little, ummm... wardrobe malfunction. I figure this one is more appropriate anyway, 'cause I've had my nose stuck in a book a lot lately. I'm halfway through book 6 of the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan & have books 7 & 8 waiting at home.
The dog is back home after being neutered. So far, he's not run off, but I feel bad for the poor guy. Anyway, hopefully now he'll quit moving the cistern lid that he's chained to. He's moved it a good 8 inches. It's solid concrete, mind you. Nutcase. I would have to get a freakishly strong dog.
Went up yonder to the farm with Bobo. We were there about an hour before hopping in Belle's van to head to Kansas City to visit Flanders, who started a new job with the railroad there. Bobo wore his Superman cape the whole day and he & Little Man had fun at the park we visited.
By the way, I don't think I've posted a picture of Sugar Plum yet.... well, here she is.
Well, now that I've said hey (Hey!), I think I'll head back to my hibernation...

If You Don't Like The Weather...
... just wait 5 minutes.
At least, that's what we do here in Kansas. It's been so nice that I've had my windows open for the last week. The other day it was around 80, and now today... snow.
Sheesh. Craziness.
