Dunder Mifflin...UPDATE

UPDATE AT THE BOTTOM OF POST

Well lookie loo...another wee little kitten was found in the trees behind mom and dad's house. Sinny aka mom, found the kitten in a wood pile. She probably stole it away from it's litter. I wouldn't doubt it if it's related to Vaughn and Tippin(and yes, these names are from Alias), the two kittens Marlee found in a 10 foot high tree hole back there 2 years ago.

We don't know if it's a boy or girl yet, we're guessing it's only about 4ish weeks old, but Russ and I have taken it upon ourselves to name it. Meet Dunder Mifflin (Dunder/Dun/Dundy for short):

Here is mom with Dun. So far it likes to cuddle in people hair.

Hmm...we fed Dunder Mifflin a bunch of cow's milk and mom just found out that cow's milk can kill kittens, fantabulous, I hope it's ok.

UPDATE: Well guess what? Russ found 2 more kittens in the same tree hole that Marlee did. Mom gave one to Nicole's bus driver...ha, and kept the other one. We have changed the names, the first kitten will be Dunder, the second kitten is now named Mifflin...unless we figure out better names. I'm not a big cat fan, but, dude, kittens are cute, ok?

Mifflin:

Conan O'Briiiiiiien!

Yay, I can finally blog about this! I'll try to make the story short, but we all know me, so, it won't be.

In 2 weeks, I'm going to NYC with Steph, Marlee, Noelle, Mom, and Laura. We were planning on doing the usual touristy stuff but we wanted to do something else too, like, go to a taping of a TV show or a Broadway show, but, seeing as how Broadway is kinda gay, we didn't want to spend the $150+ per ticket to go. So for the last 2 months I've been calling NBC studios to check on Conan ticket availability. Finally 2 weeks ago, tickets were available for the week we'll be there. I'd heard they were tough to get so I called first thing the next morning and got through after 15 trys! I could only reserve 4 tickets and you have to be 16, so sadly, Marlee and Steph won't be able to go. But holy crap, I'm excited! I freaking love Conan.

A couple days later I went to Port of Subs with one of my best friends Candice(who is with child and ready to pop anytime) and her husband Anthony. They love Conan too, so I told them we're going to the show. Anthony suggested I make an "If They Mated" shirt and wear it to the show. Now, if you have never seen the "If They Mated" skit, this is how it works. They take 2 celebrities that are either dating or even vaguely rumored to be dating and photoshop pictures of them together to create this hideous 'child', which is a product of their 'mating'. It's awesome. So I said "NO! NOELLE NEEDS TO WEAR ONE!" Considering Noelle will be like, 27ish weeks pregant, this is genius!

I took a picture of Conan and then one of Noelle and with Candice's help, we 'mated' them together. I told Noelle that I would do all the work and to my shock, she is willing to wear it! So if you're lucky, Monday June 9th, you may see Noelle in her shirt on Conan. I'll post a picture of Noelle wearing the shirt once it's made, but enjoy the pictures below.

"Fishing" and Mayonnaise

Noelle and Russ went up to Stanley with me this weekend. We didn't do much, hung out, watched P.S. I Love You, which Russ loved btw.

Saturday they went fishing with me...I'll talk about that in a minute. Saturday night we went to dinner at a resturant that shall remain nameless(Bridge St. Burger and Brew). They didn't really acknowledge us when came in, then they had like 3 things on their menu. Then when we got our burgers, I asked for mayonnaise...some guy, that I don't even know if he worked there, went outside and came back with a jar of mayonnaise, put it on the table and walked away. So then I had to go ask for a knife to get it out of the jar. Then after we eat(and were still hungry), Noelle proceeds to tell me that the mayonnaise had expired 4 months ago. Excellent.

Back to the fishing story. First we went over to where Redfish Creek goes into the Main Salmon and weren't having any luck but we could see like 4 or 5 steelhead. I was determined that if I couldn't catch a steelhead, I was going to snag one(I refuse to admit that I've snagged steelhead before). There were 2 right in front of me and I snagged the same one 6 times but the lure would pop off the fish every time. Then after an hour and half I snagged the other one and landed it...as you can see below. Then I let it go.

My Snagged Steelhead:

Then we went over to the dredge ponds cuz I knew that there are tons of small fish planted there every spring along with 50-75 steelhead. We tried to catch and/or snag a steelhead but gave up after an hour or 2. We'd brought a net with us and as we were leaving, we had the idea to try and net a steelhead in a little pool that was sorta dammed off on both sides until the water rises and washes them down. Russ would hold the net downstream by the lower dam and I would move a stick in the water to force the steelhead back into the net, we netted 2 steelhead! HA! along with about 10 small fish (I do however realize that there were many things illegal here. 1. It's not steelhead season 2. it's illegal to snag fish 3. I can only assume it's illegal to net steelhead, especially in the off season. But, we did release all the steelhead we "caught".)

Twilight Trailer, already?

Ok so, I know some of you have read the Twilight books and know how freaking awesome they are, and that they're filming a movie for the first book. What's nutty is that Stephenie Meyer - the author, is my dad's cousin's daughter. Too bad we don't really know eachother, otherwise, I would tell her how I want the series to end in the final book. But whatever, anyway, I found this trailer on myspace, which is weird, cuz they just started filming the movie in Feb. I'm starting to warm up to Robert Pattinson as 'Edward'. Although, he should be played by the guy done in my first post...but again, sadly, I don't pull the strings. Anyway, watch the trailer, it might make you want to read the books.

wait, apparently this a teaser, the extended trailer comes out in a few days. so i'll replace it when it comes out, for anyone that cares.
