I have succeeded in getting Neil to join my band. How sweet is that!
Now all we need is a catchy name. One that I can tell family members about and not get more prayers for my soul to not go to hell.
I like The Secret of 64. But I don't think the others will.
On another note for Las Vegas in May, we might stay at the MGM Grand instead of the Luxor. I found a really great room for a really good rate. I will have to buy it soon though if I really want it.
There sure is alot of snow out there right now. And we are expected to get another foot or so before the end of tomorrow. I don't rememeber anything this bad hitting West Michigan for a really long time. We went and visited Matt's mom at hospice today and almost had to turn back since we couldn't even see the walls of the entrance ramps to M-6. I actually had to stop in the middle of the highway because I could no longer see the road or anything except white all around me. Almost everybody was driving with their emergency flashers on just to be able to see each other. Right now we have almost 2 feet of snow on the ground at our house. And it was 50 degrees here like 2-3 weeks ago.
Well, it's offical. They invited me to join the band. I am so excited! A little good news in a sea of bad. I hope everything goes well. I didn't even have to do my second audition today because of the funeral. (Grandma Ladegast died 1/16/07) The other band mate just went by my crappy recording and Ricks word that I am super cool.:)
I love Ninja Warrior. All those Japanese TV shows like this are great. Now I am off to watch it.
Well this weekend I went and did yet another audition to get into a band so that I can hopefully look back at my pitiful life and have done something interesting with my life. And they posted my crappy quick audition on myspace. Holy Hell! I am off timing on part of the songs and lose the key in other parts and they want feedback on this. OMG! Any way the guy I sang for really liked me and I am going back for a second auditon on Saturday. Cross your fingers. I guess you can check it out here, if you want.
We have pretty much decided that we are going to go to Vegas from 5/9 to 5/15 for a total of 6 nights. We were going to go 5/2 to 5/9 but I went to the Luxor website and found out how much cheaper it is to go one week later. So one week later it is.
Hopefully all the AZ resident can make it up for a night that Saturday. Even tall, red and angry and his SLF. Last time we went to Vegas we went to the Tournament of Kings and had a really great time and thought it would be a great thing to do again with some friends. Hopefully everyone can make it, even if it's only for a day trip.
Wow. 2007 already. Time flies. I have never been big on New Year's Resolutions and I think I will keep it that way. It's always so dissapointing when you look back, especially since I never seem to accomplish anything. Anyway it doesn't look to be a very positive start to the year with all the things going on with Matt's family. 2007 may be a year that we want to forget.
Anyway, at least we are looking to go to Las Vegas in May. That should be sweet. I'm thinking we will stay at the Luxor. Matt loves the Egyptian theme and the rooms in the Tower are suppose to be really nice. I bought a book on Las Vegas and am really doing my research this time, we can't spend all our time playing blackjack. We go really broke.
Well, last weekend I did my holiday baking for distubution to the masses. I made 8 kinds of cookies and seperated them all mostly equally onto 8 different plates. They were a pretty big hit. I love finding new recipes that I have never made before and trying them out on the unsuspecting. I did actually eat three cookies this year. In no particular order I made: Date-filled sandwiches, Fudge-filled Envelopes, Calypso Cups, Lemon-Cranberry Sandwiches, Chocolate Star Gingersnaps, Eggnog Snickerdoodles, Cherry Peanut Butter Balls, and Apple Drop Cookies.
Winter is here for now. Yeah! Excecpt for the horrible driving conditions I rather like winter.
So I decided to make winter cupcakes. These are Red Velvet Cupcakes with White Chocolate Mint Creamy Frosting with White Chocolate shavings on top. I meant to pick up some red star mints to crush on top, but I forgot.
Also today we brought the cats to the vet for there check-up and shots and Serenity got to go a day early to see if her bladder infections were back. She doesn't have one which means her peeing on the couchs standing up had become a behavoral problem. I order to retrain her she is going to need to be secluded for the next 6-8 weeks all by herself. Poor kitty.
I feel the need to post about nothing. There is nothing going on in my life that feels worth blogging about. I have not moved acrossed the country, I have not gotten a new job, I am not Dan, I got no kids. I mean all I have got going for me are the cats but if all I blogged about was them people might think I was crazy or some thing. Well Matt's around alot more now too, but he has his own blog. Even if it is now just for stick figures. We have big selling some collectibles on ebay, shocking I know. Unless I am missing something, that is about all that is going on.
Well, we had Tiffin's last Target party on Saturday. Which was fun, but as all Target parties only about half of the people we actually expected to come to the party, came to the party. And that's only like a tenth of the people that told him they would be coming. Those Target people are not very reliable at all. Even for free food. I bet if we had more free alcohol, more would have shown, but it gets expensive. Still fun. There was more food than that too, mini-corn dogs and such. We have so much left over.
I love fall. The changing weather, fires in the woodstove, warm kitties in the sunshine, all great things. It really makes me want to bake. Last week I made Raisin Spice Cookies (one of my personal favorites) and tonight I am making Spiderweb Pumpkin Cheesecake for Halloween tomorrow. Which also means that I will be making somthing else with pumpkin in it within the week to use up the rest of the can of pumpkin, not counting the 4 pumpkin pies that I am making for the Christmas party that I have on Saturday.
Tiffin and I were at Village Inn with St. Mary's and Stemshul before they left and I was told they had never heard Weird Al's song Harvey the Wonder Hamster, which is one of my favorite Weird Al songs. So here it is.
Well, I really haven't had much of importance going on in my life so I haven't felt the need to post, though I feel bad about that. With people moving away and all the other issues in our life right now it would be nice to have some good news to share, but I don't. That's life though.
I ment to take some pictures of some really cool cupcakes that I made the other day but I forgot. I think I may post pictures of all the cupcakes and such that I make so that all you losers that keep moving away can wish you were here. Speaking of which, I can bring something to the going away party if there is a need/desire. I take suggestions, if something specific is wanted.
