So Tired...

Look here.

Shoes

I had a half day at work today and stopped at DSW, after lunch with a very busy Matt, to pick up some new shoes with some b-day money I gots. After Matt and I got home from dinner at San Chez, I took the shoes out of the boxes to show Matt what I got. We than put the shoe boxes on the floor for the cats to enjoy. This is what happened next.

Murdock insisted that he could fit him self in a shoebox that was too small for him.



Greta decides she LOVES my shoe pile and rubs herself all over my shoes.



All the kitties decide to come and check out the shoes and shoeboxes.

It's About Time for A Funny Cat Video

NC

I've been busy, that's why I haven't posted since we got back. It was a long drive and I did do 90% or so of the driving. Good thing the Honda is more comfortable than the Grand Am was or I'd still be walking weird. The house was great. Everything I expected. We had our room on the 1st floor which was separated from everyone else. It was nice to be apart from the rest of the crazy's :)

The whole trip was relaxing and fun, except a little family drama, but that is what happens when people are in close quarters for a whole week. Only one trip to the Urgent Care Center for the newest member of the family. Babies need supervision.

Had good food at a Steamers Shellfish to Go. Very Good, in fact. If I am ever in the Outer Banks again I will seek this place out. We also had a themed picture, dressed as pirates. Everyone looks great but me. Sigh

I'd do it again.

It's Here!

Scott and his brother were over playing it together earlier, but I went to the gym and didn't get a picture of all of them playing together. I hear they beat it, and than switched to the new Super Smash Brothers Brawl for the Wii, which is what they were playing when I got home.

A Whole Bunch of..

Not much. Life is still not very exciting around the Cherry household. Matt's got lots of neat stuff goings on, but he is not very good at posting about it. Next week we have a really cool thing arriving that some of you may have heard rumor about, but we will wait and post pictures when it arrives.

We are both super excited about our upcoming trip to NC. I really need some time away from work. I haven't have a vacation in a really long time. At least 8 months. Which is forever. The 14 hour drive should be interesting. My control issues mean that I will try and drive the whole way, but we will have to wait and see how things go. Cramming all 4 of us, and all our junk for a week, in my Honda should be interesting too. There is a washer and dryer at the house, so packing light is an option. Doubtful, but still an option.

In the Year 2010

Matt and I were watching TV the other night and flipped to the Girls Next Door on E!. They were at Sandals Resort in Jamaica. I say: I want to go to a Sandals resort. (pout) Matt: Sure, we can go...(dramatic pause) in 2010! haha! Me: You do realize you just gave me permission to book a trip to a Sandals resort, don't you? Matt: In like 2 whole years! That's forever away. Me: 2 years really isn't that far away. Yeah!! We're going to the Caribbean! Super exciting! (Matt rolls eyes)

So, we get to get passports and I get to decide what island we go to, I am thinking Jamaica, but I may change my mind. I need to look and see what is offered and what the rooms look like. Might be fun if others wanted to come along. Any takers?

Spending Money

So before Matt went on his little jaunt South to see Ted, I dragged him to Sprint to buy new phones. I am super excited over this because I got a smartphone. A Palm Centro and Matt got a Katana II. I love having the little keyboard and I can manage my calendar online and sync them with push of a button. Still getting use to the touchscreen, but still really cool.

I also booked our room for Wizard World Chicago, June 26-29. There already were hotels not available to rent for those days and we want to stay right next to the convention center this time, we also got a really good deal for booking early and it's a really nice hotel. So when I get bored I can just head back to the room. Yeah!

I also am sending out the last check to cover the family vacation to NC this spring. I am really looking forward to this trip, though not the 12-14 hour drive. Here is the house that we are renting with Matt's family and the Markanovich's. Soon I will start over planning for this trip. I bought some travel books on Amazon.com. (Yet another addictive website to spend money) Matt says we may actually get to do some of the things I want. I can only hope.

Stupid Clearance

Kohl's has the 80-90% off clearance going on right now. Very dangerous. I walked out with a very large bag of stuff. Too bad they don't print how much you saved on the receipt. I'm too lazy to do the real math. Also I sense a theme. Must be the time of year to get great deals.

Y?

We joined the Y. I have officially exercised two days in a row. Fun though. Yesterday was yoga and today was Zumba. The yoga teacher was a touch odd, but that is stereotypically normal for yoga teachers. By the end of the class I liked her. Matt came with me today, but didn't join the class with me. He hit the treadmill. They have personal TVs for every cardio station. It's pretty cool, you just need to bring your own headphones to plug into the player. Side note: Cool diet/healthy living site. It's free.

We also spent more money and increased our nerd/geek rating. We bought Matt a laptop so that we can play WoW together. Ironically, we had unknowingly signed up for auto-pay for WoW and we were recently billed for bulk months that I noticed while checking the credit card statement. So we decided to keep it active and make new characters on a 'Normal' server where upper level jerks can't come around and kill low level characters for no reason other than to be total jerks. I am also hoping that having a laptop will increase Matt's book writing. I signed him up for National Novel Writing Month, which sounds really cool to me. And may help? By November he'll be sick of WoW again anyway. :P

New Year

Oh my. 2007 wasn't a particularly great year for us, so lets hope for better in 2008. I am not a big fan of lists. Never have been. The idea is good, but I don't like the sense of failure if/when I fail to complete all the things I was hoping to achive. I seem to be a 'list half failed' as compared to a 'list half finished' type of person. I'll try it this year, but only a couple things...

1. Learn basic French - My Christmas present "from" Matt this year was the software to learn french. I have always had the desire and wished it had been offered in school, but it wasn't. This way when I drag Matt to France with me some time (or go without him) I'll understand what is going on. I have always wanted to learn multiple launguages and I feel it's time to start trying.

2. Lose Weight - Hoping for 40 pounds, would love to lose 50, and will be happy with 30+. Looking for the right classes that are not located to far from home. Or I won't go because I am lazy.

3. Start taking buisness classes at GRCC.

Thats good enough for me.

Merry Christmas

I gave my mother the new Josh Groban Christmas CD for Christmas and was suprised to hear that Nisi didn't know who he was. So here is a small sampling of his work.

Holiday Baking 2007

My cookie baking is done for Christmas. Yeah! I picked 9 recipes and made 8 of them. I have time to make the last one but my feet hurt and I am losing my ambition to do more. All I need to do now is plate them up. Of the 8 recipes I had only made one of them previously. I really enjoy trying new recipes. Not a big fan of the same thing all the time. Variety is the spice of life, they say. Don't know who they are....

Here's pictures for all of you who care...

Dice are cool

We were at Barnes and Nobles tonight and I saw this game. Anything with that many dice has to be super cool. I tried to talk Matt into buying it...but he didn't want to.

Also we discovered this weekend that Murdock is scared of the stove. If we bring him anywhere near it he cries and tries to run away. So funny to watch. We're so mean. :)

I Know Who I Am Voting For!

Bah

If the holiday season keeps up like this week at work was, I will soon be swearing off Christmas like Matt does. Thank goodness for a three day work week or I might have done something drastic, like calling-in when I am not really sick. I try so hard and get no where. Very frustrating. Now off to the bar for drinking. Biggest bar night of the year. Woo-Hoo!

Interesting...

Amazing what happens in the blogs when one doesn't check them for 2 whole days. What angry people we know. So I guess I better blog something or all out war will break out. Though my life is quite boring. Really. No Joke. Especially since I have been sick with a stupid cold for the last 3 weeks. Ever since the big family Christmas. I am actually still coughing as I write this. Phlegm and everything. It had even settled in my neck, this cold. I woke up one Monday morning and couldn't move my neck without sever pain. Which really sucks when you have a cough. Do you realize how much you move your neck when you cough? Alot. I actually went to the doctor and got muscle relaxers, which didn't help much, and perscription strength Ibuprophen. That Saturday was my Celtic Women Concert, which was fun, even with the sore neck and cough. My only complaint is that they didn't talk. Only sang their songs. No history no backstories, only thanks for coming. That was it. But I am finally starting to feel normal again. We might even head out to the bar tonight for some drinking and karaoke. If Matt feels up to it. He has been at a HeroClix thing all day in Ann Arbor.

Now I have to go take the cheescake out of the oven. Boring post finished.

Wake Up

Weather the Weather

Weather is turning again today. I am so sick of 80+ degrees out with tons of humidity. Ugh! Tomorrow is only supposed to have a high in the 50's. I can't hardly wait. This is October. It should start acting like it. I have started fall baking and everything. Matt and I bought a half a bushel of apples this last weekend and I intend to use every one in different things. I have already made Apple Harvest Cake. Which did make me nervous. In the oven for a whole hour! Tasty though. Kinda like a bread more than a cake. Tonight I am going to make a Bavarian Apple Torte which is pictured. I hope it tastes good too.

You all will probably hate me but...I think I am going to see Celtic Women when they come to VanAndel. I like them. They have great harmonies and cool looking sets, at least from the TV broadcast on public television that was taped at a castle in Europe somewhere. They have some songs up on myspace if you want to hear them. It's OK if you want to make fun of me for liking them. We all have our secret bands that we like.

The Wheels of Time Turn

I had very much hoped the my parents were wrong this morning when I was told that Robert Jordan had died. The Wheel of Time series has very much so been my favorite series of all time. So when I got home I checked his blog. There is was. Robert Jordan died Sept. 16. I may sound bad but I had really hoped he would have finished the last book for the Wheel of Time. He knew he was dying but was very tired from his illness and the treatments that he had pushed it back and could only write on certain days when he felt good. One of his blogs says he intended on staying alive until all his book idea's were written and he had 20 years worth of writing to do so he wasn't planning on dying until that was done. But is wasn't to be. They say he had enough written notes and audio notes on what was to happen in the final book and his wife/editior and publisher will finish the book, but it won't be the same.

“He came like the wind, like the wind touched everything, and like the wind was gone.”

"The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose.... The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of time.
But it was a beginning"

Ugh, Clutter.

Recently I have felt like getting rid of all the clutter in my life. It has really been bothering me having all this useless stuff just cluttering up everything. I don't know if it is the fact that we may or may not be moving at some point in the next 6 months to 5 years. And that move may be far, far away. (Colorado would be nice but so would Maine, Washington, Oregon, or Hawaii) Or I am just sick of picking it up and cleaning in general. But I put 30 things up on ebay this last week and Matt put up 2 and we put up one for our friend Ken, for a total of 33 items. I also have a whole trash bag full of clothes to donate that I will never wear again for one reason or other. I think if I had a big dumpster I may just throw everything away, but that feels so wasteful.



In other news we just signed away our land and trees today for the road "improvements". We decided just to have all 6 pine trees taken out and we will replant when the construction is done. I am pretty sure I will cry when they cut down those trees. I love having them there and I have alot of childhood memories tied in with them. Change can be hard sometimes. Makes me sad just thinking about it.

Hey! Ikea!

Last weekend was very fun for me and quite possible a little for Matt too. I had taken Friday off from work to use my last vacation day and to go to the dentist (boo), so the Wednesday night before, it was decided that we would finally go to Ikea. Yeah! I booked a really cool room for a really great price at Fairfield Inn, which is next to Ikea, and once Matt got out of work and came home around 3pm we left for Canton. While at the dentist I had talked to the hygientist and she recommended that we try to shop Friday evening because weekends are so packed, especially with screaming children. So we got to Canton right at rush hour and finally made it to the hotel to check in and immediately went to Ikea. So Cool! We grabbed a snack at the cafe and started looking at the showrooms. Really made me want a new kitchen. Matt wants a bookcase with a ladder. We were hoping for a new coffee table, but they didn't have one that we liked that fit the style of our house. I bought some kitchen stuff and a duvet and we got a really cool print for the bedroom wall and some other random stuff. Then we went out for dinner at Chili's, bought some liquor to drink in the room and jumped into the super deep jacuzzi tub in our suite. Slept great. I want that tub.

We stopped at a neat comic book store in Canton and than headed back, stopping at the Tanger outlet mall in Howell and bought more random stuff, a shirt, some toys and books, ect.. Than the antique store that is right behind the outlet mall, where we got ornery at each other because we had spent to much time together and our feet hurt. :) Headed home, took naps and headed out for a really great night at karaoke with lots of friends. Super weekend that was super busy.

In Michigan news, fall is coming. Nights are a cool 40-50 degrees, the leaves are starting to turn, I turned the air conditioning off, and I want to bake. I love fall. The colors are great. The whole season is great in general.

Revolutionary

Myspace Drama

You know those 'friends' that you had in high school that you lost touch with and stumble across in myspace and decide to be myspace friends with, just for the hell of it though you know they aren't the greatest person? Yeah well that has come back to bite me. Real hard. She had been sending out all sorts of stupid bulletins, and I never responded, until...she sent the stupid "if your my real friend you'll respond to this bulletin" bulletin. I don't know if any of you have seen this one yet, but I don't like it. It is really stupid. Anyway, I decide to respond, mildly, at least in my mind, that I never respond because almost everything she sends is spam or chainmail, though I do check everything to see if it is important. She has taken this very, very, very personally. She wrote me a very pissed off e-mail calling me hypocritical and 'high school'. Among other things. I responded apologizing for upsetting her and that it wasn't meant to be personal or an attack on her in any way and that she can send them all she wants, but they are not my style. Among other things. :) She is still enraged (myspace emotioncon tells all) and posts a bulletin saying that she had been verbally attacked about her bulletins, calling me a bitch and alot of other things. Without naming me specifically though, of course. I sent a private e-mail asking her what issues she had with me that she is blowing this misunderstanding so out of proportion with what was actually going on. *sigh* I may have one less myspace friend in a day or two. Oh well. Less stress for me if she doesn't get alittle more mature real quick.

Chicago

I thought I would take a moment and share about our trip to Chicago. I did actually get my car back on that Thursday morning, a few hours before we left, so that was great! Transmission was totally replaced and is running much better. Driving to Chicago was a good test for that repair. Traffic wasn't to bad until we crossed the bridge into town. Holy Cow, they have lots of traffic there. We checked in to our hotel at a super great rate thanks to Matt's friend Leif. And immediatly left for the convention center which was about 15 miles about. Took FOREVER. Damn traffic.

Lots of cool stuff. Forgot to take pictures of all the crazies like I intended. We got Matt's Fing Fang Foom's and hauled them back to the car. They are quite large and cool looking. Friday and Saturday we got up early (for me at least), got breakfast and went back to the convention center to wait in line for the Heroclix events.
These lasted most of the day for both days. After losing we wandered and looked at all the booths and bought stuff. I got a great shirt from the Oblongs TV show. The creator was there and was cool to meet. Matt didn't do as well as we hoped at Clix, so he didn't make it to the finals on Sunday. So we went to the Lincoln Park Zoo instead. It was "free". There was lots of monkeys and the meerkats were really cute.

Parking was rather expensive. As is most parking in Chicago. I had wanted to stop at Ikea on the way home but hadn't mapquested it before we left so we will go some other weekend. Instead we stopped at some winerys as we traveled up Michigan's west coast and tried and bought some great wine. The round barn has vodka that they make too. For samples they make it into a martini of the day.

A very tiring, but fun trip.

Issues.

Life is a rollercoaster ride. Ups and downs all over the place. We are so excited to go to Chicago, but things aren't going so well. On our way back from visiting Nisi in the hospital (whole other story there), the transmission in my car died. We barely made it home. Then had to have it towed. Bad. But the extended warranty will cover most of it. Good. No car till Saturday. Bad. Rental coverage included in extended warranty. Good. Out of town until Sunday so we will have to pay for rental car for 1 1/2 days. Bad. It's a Chevy Aveo. Neutral. I also learned the since I have full coverage on my car I don't need to pay for extra coverage on the rental car, since full coverage will cover me driving another car. Which means that we didn't need to pay for it for the rental car that we have in Vegas either. And that was alot of money.

Oh well, can't wait to go to Chicago. Even if it will be in a Aveo. At least it should get good gas mileage.

Chicago

I am getting excited for our next trip/mini-vacation. We sure seem to be traveling alot this year. Up next is Wizard World in Chicago. We are going down on Wednesday evening, I think, and coming back Sunday at some point. I hope to hit Ikea and hopefully the zoo and aquarium while we are down there. I also have some old high school friends that live in Chicago and I am thinking of seeing if they want to go out for dinner or something, maybe when I get sick of the convention. Should be tons of fun.

Babies!

Well, Marc and Nisi had their latest baby 5:42pm July 22nd. Healthy baby boy, Mason Jay. 7 lbs 5 oz 19 1/2". It bit of a surprise I believe, getting here a few weeks early. That's really all the info I have so....Congratulations!! I'm sure when Nisi is feeling better we will all get a full detailed story. With pictures!

Matt and I had gone to my Grandparents for coffee Sunday morning and Kydra was there with my mom and found out that Nisi's water had broken at 4am. Typical time, middle of the night. Than Matt and I headed up to Silver Lake to the cabin that Matt's dad rents, which has very limited cell phone reception, especially for our ancient cell phones, 2+ years old. After dinner I walked out to a reception area and got the message a very tired sounding Marc had left me. I was good to know that everything worked out OK. With hopefully no complications.

We are hoping to head back up to Silver Lake on Friday, but I don't know if we will be able to. I would need to use a half day vacation, but my boss will be on vacation Friday too. Normally we are not both gone on the same day. Matt may go anyway, without me.

I Try So Hard...

Well I got kicked out of my band this morning. This bites. I had just started excepting my place in the band and telling people about it and I get kicked out. Just like last time. Matt says I can never tell anybody again if I get in a new band. :) Maybe that will work. Apparently I don't have a good enough voice to sing 80's hair band music. Like the great song by Poison - Talk Dirty to Me. Maybe this is a sign that I shouldn't sing 80's hair band music anymore. I also don't have all 20+ songs memorized completly, 100%. Even the ones we just added 2 weeks ago.

The only good thing is that the guitarist will probably be leaving too, and the bassist and drummer have no clue. He doesn't want to sing all 80's hair band music either.

I just wish they would have communicated their issues at some point before kicking me out. Some things they have issue with are easily fixed. Oh, well. I got some more experiance and learned some new things. This just makes me question if I should continue. Though I think I will, I did enjoy it while it lasted.

Party

It was a great party. Not as many people showed as I hoped would, but that happens every year. Sangria was great. I added some extra brandy this year for a little more kick. My mom had two glasses and was a little buzzed, and nice and red. Should have gotten a picture. Oh well. I also forgot to take a picture of all the food. I am told it was my best spread yet. I always try to improve. Oh, and I used my brother Marc's jello shot recipe and had some kick ass jello shots. Tasty. JD got trashed and started groping all the men and than starting wrestling. Our friend Tori got an interesting picture of Ted and JD getting pretty friendly. I got an interesting picture too. I kicked some ass in fooseball. People played some Wii. Catch Phrase started fights, especially with some newbie players. Can't wait for next year.





I posted most of my pictures on myspace, but you have to be my myspace friend to see them.

I'm Dutch.

About twice a year a get a hankering for rusk. I had grown up with rusk, now apparently labeled as 'dutch crispbakes' at the store. Matt thinks I am pretty weird for liking this. I eat it with a layer of butter-type spread and than a layer of jam. It is tasty. I bought some tonight, just for me.

On a separate note, we watched the new Harry Potter today. I thought it was great, having never read the book. Matt wished they included more. This is one of the reasons why I haven't read the books yet. I don't want to be disappointed when I watch the movie.

Sweet.

I am so going to by one of these as soon as it comes out.

Planning

I am having a hard time party planning this year. Our annual summer party is only two weeks away and I don't have the menu all figured out yet. Also I really want to by our own copy of electronic Catch Phrase this year. Such a great party game. I hope lots of people show up too. I always have so much food left over, we eat it for days. Should be interesting. I invited 3 of the 4 other band members as well, though I have my doubts that any of them will show. Other plans and such. Our bass player's wife had a baby last week so he's pry out. Dummer's son's birthday. Guitarist works until 7 or 8 and he has a real life with friends and everything. The second guitarist hasn't made a practice in over a month, but his grandma just died and he had some things to deal with. I hadn't invited him yet. He may not be in the band much longer though. We'll see. I think I might invite some cousins too. And other random people who I don't see very often. But anyway, if you read this, know where I live and can make it to my house July 14 starting at 6pm, your invited.

Rambling

I do feel bad that I don't post more often, but again, I just don't think my life is that interesting. Most days I just want to move away. I am craving a change of life. New places, new people, new everything. (Except Matt and the cats, of course) Oh well. It will be years until we move I am pretty sure. Unless we have a change in cash flow, like winning the lottery. Hitting it big. Millions and millions of dollars. I can dream. Sigh. I keep telling Matt that he needs to finish his book so he can become famous and make lots of money. He's got the marketable talet. Though I am kinda, maybe, sorta thinking of trying out for American Idol. I don't know. I guess it can't hurt to try. Unless I really bomb it and end up on a horrible loop with all the bad singers. Like the ones in the promos. Eeek. Biggest fear right there. And signing my life away of course. The contracts just try out for those things are amazing. Anyways, off to bed for me. I try not to be up too late but looking at the 2:33am on the computer makes me realize I failed again.

Too Funny!

http://www.glumbert.com/media/laugh


I couldn't get the stupid video to post right. So you'll just have to follow the link.

Shouldn't it be a rule that everyone has to post on 6/4?

Anyway on this day of 6 and 4. Happy Birthday Marc!

Festival Days

Today is a Festival day. I really want to go but Matt really doesn't want to go. So I have a call in to my mom to see if she can go with me. Otherwise Matt may just have to deal with it and go with me later tonight or for lunch tomorrow. I love all the food booths with all the different options. And the people watching. It does get pretty hot though. And today is really humid.

Last year around this time we had our big summer party. 6/24 I believe. This year we are pushing it back a little. I am thinking maybe July 14. The trip to Vegas cost money and we need more money to throw a party that big. Though ever year about half as many people show up as say they will. Hopefully with Matt not working at Target anymore that won't be as big of a deal. Target people were really bad at the whole 'Oh we will so be there' and than not showing up.

We Bought A Wii

It's super cool.

Vegas Memories

I case anyone is wondering, I did not get a tattoo in Vegas like I wanted to. Matt and I did go to The Palms and stopped at Hart and Huntington, but they were charging 2 to 3 times the going rate for tattoo's. I expected them to be a little more expensive but that was more than we were planning on spending. We also stopped at a tattoo shop off the strip but the guy there didn't understand the look that I was going for. So I will wait. I still really should get my original tattoo touched up before I acquire any new ones. *Sigh*

Matt and I had gone to Star Trek: The Experience. I really enjoyed it. They had a time line for everything that happened in the TV Shows and Movies. I liked seeing how they all fit together. The "museum" was OK. Seeing all the props from different shows and such. The rides were only OK too. The Klingon one was a little better than the Borg one but both interesting. I feel bad for the actors though. They really had to commit to the parts. Being on spaceships and fighting the Borg. Trying to create a sense of urgentsy and follow along the timed scripts. The waiter at Quark restaurant was cool though and there was a Borg and Ferangie that were wandering around for atmosphere. The Borg was funny.



And apparently playing poker with only three people isn't very fun. Matt, Zac, and Dan wanted more people to play, but nobody else really wanted to.

How Short?

Well I did it. I cut my hair. Now I know for some people that is not a big deal, but for me it is. I had gotten my last haircut 3 1/2 years ago. Ironicly right before I left for Las Vegas last time. I had been talking about cutting it for the last 6 months or so. It just starts to get in the way. I did get about a foot and half or so cut off. And I did save it to donate. Instead of Locks of Love I am going to donate to Pantene Beautiful Lenghts. They give their wigs to women with cancer instead of children with issues other than cancer. It feels more personal to me with all that we went through with Matt's mom.

Inked

So...I was thinking I might get a new tattoo in Vegas. Anyone else (that's going) interested? I want to go to Hart and Huntington in the Palms. That's where that TV show on A&E is shot. If no one else wants to go we will probably go when your not around. Any takers?

I Don't Know About That.....

So I was at practice last night and this came up again as a band name. "Apryl Cherry" Both the bassist and the drummer want to use it but I am more than a little nervous about it. I feel it is a little egotistical. I mean using my name as a band name is a little weird to me. What is you guys opinion?

Oh, and Happy Birthday Nisi!

Cross your fingers

I added my cover band to myspace. We will get a better website if/when things get rolling along and things actually start to happen. Feel free to make fun of me. :)

Alanis Morissette is the Devil

I like this parody but yet I don't. It is funny. That is for sure. I had never really understood what Fergie and the Black Eyed Peas were saying before.

I still really like Alanis Morissette.

Welcome!

A big blogger welcome for Tiffin's sister finally joining the technological age. You should all stop over and say hi! Just don't be mean yet (Dave), she's still new.

Also, Neil, come join my cover band. We are super cool and none of us smoke. Amazing I know, but true. Also there isn't 7 kids running around hitting each other and asking for food. You could be a guitarist and whatever else pops up. The only catch is we need a good background singer. Huh, Huh. Have I got your attention now?
