West Coast Here I Come!

Tomorrow I will be leaving for the Oregon. I am psyched! Except I will miss my puppies and my family for the 4 months I will be on the other side of the country. Friday Jared is taking me to Crater Lake, and then maybe we will go to the coast and see some redwoods! The picture is of Jared and his pups, Luigi and Homer on a hike we took the last time I was there (December 2005). It will be nice to see his family, and I'm glad I get to see Oregon in the summer this time! I will update and post pictures from my trip. Hopefully I won't get stuck in Vegas on the way...

Tomatillos

This year I bought my Mom some tomatillo seeds for Mother's Day. We've never had them in our garden before, but they are looking pretty good so far! I like how they have their little pouches. Too bad I won't be around to try them!

Maggie's 11th Birthday Party

Last night Maggie took a bunch of friends to the New Britian Rock Cats game. The Getler's had a few extra tickets, so my family went along as well. I usually find baseball games pretty boring, but there was plenty to watch as the girls spent the night freaking out about things and having fun. The best part was at the beginning of the game when all the mascots (there are like 4 of them!) rode around the field on a little bus. Here is a picture of my littlest sister, Kathy, and me. Above is Maggie and her friends.

What's the Story Morning Glory?

This is a picture of our room. It's kind of messy, because the Morning Glories on the side of our house are taking over. Yes, inside our room. The two squiggles at the very top above the window are shoots from the millions of Morning Glories. In the morning they even bloom inside our room. Crazy, eh?

Wendy

This is my twin sister Wendy. She is 9 minutes older than me. She went to Hampshire College too, but then she dropped out. Now she is living in Northampton, Massachusetts and is working at Copy Cat Print Shop in Amherst, Massachusetts. She thinks that Alan Rickman is really sexy, and also likes Christian Bale and Trent Reznor a lot. I think maybe she likes art, and might go back to school to be an artist or a librarian. She is a vegetarian but one time she had a hamburger with me. She brought our kitty cats, Sebastian and Ursula to live with her and her friends Lizzy, Alice and Scooter in Northampton. Mom kicked them out of the house because they peed all over the place. They still pee all over the place. Wendy looks like me, but sometimes people can tell us apart. We don't know if we are identical or not, as the staff at Bridgeport Hospital in Bridgeport, Connecticut never told us.

Jared

This is my BF Jared. He is excited in this picture because he is at his new favorite place, the Lego Store in the Natick mall. My parents took us to the Lego Store last week, and so if you look closely, you can see my Mom to the right playing with the MiniFigs. She is wearing a blue sweatshirt. Jared will be embarassed that I made this post, but I already told him that I was going to. He thinks that I take too many pictures of him, so usually he looks mad in them because he thinks I already have enough pictures of him. He likes legos and electronics, and he's studying Chemistry at Hampshire College (where I just recently graduated from). He gets along very well with my puppies, Loco and Aurora, and I think that they might like him best because he spoils them. He has two pups of his own, Weegie and Homer, but they live all the way in Talent, Oregon with his family. He likes spicy food and homemade salsa. In September he has an internship at the the Pacific Northwest National Marine Lab in Sequim, Washington. I will be joining him all the way across the country, and I'm sure come September you will hear more about my trip.

Aurora

This is my puppy Aurora. She is literally still a puppy, as she just had her first birthday at the end of July. She is 3/4 Belgian Malinois and 1/4 German Shepard. She is crazy. Unlike Loco, she likes to spend her days running around after her tennis ball (or frisbee if she's lucky and hasn't chewed it to pieces). She plays with KK in the mornings too, but she needs much more attention than Loco. While Loco is a nice dog, he is kind of selfish. Sometimes he just uses you for treats. Rora is very affectionate... but only to her family! She is very protective and not very well socialized. She will bark at you for hours if she doesn't know you. It is very sad. Hopefully she will get better as she gets older.

Locomotion

This is my puppy Locomotion. He is 3 years old. He lives at home with my family in Connecticut. We're not sure what he is completely, but we know that he is part chihuahua. He likes to eat green beans, and doesn't like salty things or peanut butter. He spends his mornings playing with our neighbor, KK, and the afternoons and evenings relaxing with his family. He is the perfect snuggle pillow to sleep with at night, especially in the winter because he keeps you warm!

Hello

I've decided to start opening up a bit to the world, and so created this blog. It may not be very exciting to most, and I can't say I know anyone who will read it. Regardless, I think it'll be mainly for myself and if you happen to stumble across, well, sorry about that.
