a gun rack for her daughter in law
Category: good times
my mother just bought lauren a gun rack at an auction.
because she is sooooo funny.

and then suggested that we put it in our stairwell with a note that says that the occupants' gun was too large to fit on the rack.

my mother is insane.

That is.... really strange.

May I suggest you get some really gnarlly water guns and rack 'em up.
libertad - 08/08/07 15:49
That is pretty funny. Are you going to put it up? Maybe you can put NRA stickers on your windows?

i cook?
I am not a cook. I don't know much about cooking, nor have I ever really had much interest.

that being said, I'm starting to experiment. Zucchini and squash stir fry; with spinache pasta
image
and salsa chicken... with roasted potatoes and corn on the cob!
image

yeah who knew i could cook?

lauren and i have also taken to eating our dinners outside on the balcony. Nobody else seems to use their balcony like we do... though the neighbors seem to be venturing out there more and more... are we starting a balcony revolution?

on another note...

any of you mac users know how to export video that has been saved into iphoto? it doesn't seem to have that function available...
jbeatty - 08/07/07 13:51
You should be able to just drag and drop it to the desktop even though export isn't an option on the menu.
fellyconnelly - 08/07/07 12:36
ah... you need to have quicktime pro it seems.

apartment paint job
Category: hgtv
Okay so the painting is all done and I have photos where you can see some of it.... i don't have a super fancy smancy camera that takes wonderful photos but i did what i could...

image
That's my cat. On my bed. I have a new bed that is being shipped to me sometime at the end of the month, but the point of this photo is that you can see my pumpkin patch/misty evening paint job.

image

There is my desk by the door. And one of the fully packed bookcases. notice the misty evening as an accent wall.

oh yes and then there is lauren in the kitchen.
image

oh what a tiny apartment. i love it.
hodown - 08/07/07 10:14

Category: good times
Lauren just found 'the best of soul train' on tv and i just stared slack jawed for a good ten minutes....cocaine was definetely in high use on that show.

happy birthday james!!!!!!!!!

and how special do i feel that i got mentioned in a sticky?

too bad for all ya'll that i'm boring in person. haha jokes on you!

bed time!


fellyconnelly - 08/06/07 18:01
haha yeah i was being a bit full of myself there assuming you thought i was fascinating!
i can't wait to meet all of you~! i'm so nervous!
imk2 - 08/06/07 17:12
oh come on!....you're boring on paper too, not just in person!

ok, ok, j/k. don't kill me. you're a riot. can't wait to meet you on wednesday.
fellyconnelly - 08/06/07 11:06
once, while drunk at the end of a party i came across a show (5 am) that involved a paper bag that talked. nobody beleived me for a long time.
but i digress....
james - 08/06/07 10:12
The best of soul train? That sounds horrendously wonderful.

Once, while drunk at a party that was dieing the great death, the game show network was on at 3AM. I think everyone on TV in the 70's was high in so many different ways they made Timothy Leary look like a kindergarten teacher.

Thank you for the good wishes ^_^

Lucky Dog
Category: aminals
This morning my mother informs me that my dog died. I tell myself repeatedly that it is good that he is out of his misery. He was pretty damn old and he was having seizures and lost his eyesight. It was so bad that my mom even wanted to have him put down, but my dad wouldn't let her. He died very soon after the seizures began.

I am just glad that I got to see him again last weekend. He was such an old stinky dog, but he was still my Lucky. (that was his name)

a thought: why is it that most dogs named 'Lucky' are mangy little buggers? mine was.

put together an impromptu barbeque at my bro - bob's house. invited my other brother too. it was nice to sit and relax in the cool day of today.

and returned with yellow squash, green peppers and a green tomato. oh and a couple of cucumbers. I already have a zucchini from the last visit - so now i have to figure out how to prepare it in a way that lauren actually eat it.

look at me... i'm an exciting party animal! it is saturday night!

i'm going to bed.
fellyconnelly - 08/05/07 10:48
thanks for all the well wishins... i had to leave my lucky when i went away to college 10 yrs ago, so its harder now for my dad than it is for me...

lucky was, indeed, the perfect name for that dog. he had severe asthma, he had a knack for barking so loud and much that he pulled muscles in his back and couldn't use his back legs for a week, he became incontinant, blind in one eye (then in the other)and was missing teeth (which added to the sewer mouth). but he was a good boy.
jenks - 08/05/07 10:00
aww... So sorry about your dog.
My alice just died in march- and I haven't even been home since then, so I don't think it's really hit me.
It's tough. :(
tinypliny - 08/05/07 09:03
Lucky is definitely in a better place. Its not fun to have a double whammy of seizures and blindness. :/

You could make a zucchini stir-fry with carrots, broccoli, portabella mushrooms, water chestnuts and tofu. Yum!
drew - 08/05/07 07:56
sorry about your Dog. If you need your "old dog fix," you can come and visit our 12 year old lab.
ladycroft - 08/05/07 01:52
isn't that how it usually works? "Lost: dog with three legs, one eye, missing most of his fur, goes by the name Lucky". :) I'm sorry he had to leave you but I'm happy he's no longer hurting.
mk - 08/05/07 00:56
oh and she is definitely a mangy little bugger, hahaha. she had a litter of puppies when she was 2 and she was never quite the same after. always cranky and paranoid and barking at every unusual noise she heard, everything from a car door closing to a dog barking in a the distance to one of us accidentally closing a drawer too hard.
mk - 08/05/07 00:54
i'm sorry to hear about your dog, but it sounds like he lived a long, happy life!

i have a dog named Lucky too. actually i just posted pictures and she is in a couple of them.

it's interesting to me that of the Luckys that i know or know of, mine is the only girl Lucky. i never thought of it as being a boy name, but apparently we were wrong! considering she's 11, i think it's a little late to go back and change it. :)

hope you're enjoying the b-lo so far!
