Why Hello

Ok, so only a few people know that Timmy and I are going to.......

Start up a 2 person band together!   We've been talking about it a lot and I know the sound we want.  He's teaching me bass..as well as guitar and I'm learning more on my uke.  I'm really excited about this.  I think we will be pretty good together and this isn't some big thing or anything...it's just to do it.  To see what we can do and how it will sound.  We are going for the garage/surf rock sound. A la Gold Motel/Best Coast...which in MY opinion ahhhmazing!  And he has these really nifty recording apps on his ipad that lets us record 8 different tracks to put together as well as a synth and strings to create a full on song!  I'm not the best at song writing but I've started writing one that I'm pretty happy with.  On another note..it feels refreshing to re-connect with friends.  Kinda makes you realize that you really do need that friend to talk to when you're stressed out and have things you wanna get of your chest.  

Deal Me In has a show tomorrow at Crosstown Arts!  It's a fairly new venue in midtown that is really pretty awesome.  I've been to so many venues in midtown, half of which I looooved and they closed down.  I really hope this one makes it.

Ok so my best friend evvvvverrrr surprised me with a trip to Hawaii!  Now those who know me, know that I have a terrible, terrrrrrrible fear of flying.  I don't like even looking at airplanes, or being inside airports.  But I do have to get over that fear eventually, and what better way than a 12 hour flight to Hawaii?!  We get to stay in a condo for free-courtesy of her aunt and uncle-  It even overlooks Maui she said. So I'm very grateful to her for this opportunity.  I would have never gotten the chance otherwise.  And I'm so glad she is my best friend.  We have been best friends for 12 years and She is seriously the only friend I have had that long.  I consider her and her family MY family.  

Oh and we have 4 bewwwwwteeefull baby kitties that are almost the age to re-home.  They are by far the most beautiful kittens My cat has ever had.  They each have their own personality and I don't want to see them go.  They are cuddly and so playful and just got to the stage of wanting to sleep in my bed curled up in my hair.  I love them so.  Timmy might be more attached than I am.  Their names are: James-the chill cat-, Gary Jr-the cuddle monster cat-, Banshee- the playful sneaky cat- and Kitty Pride-the only girl and quiet cat-. Ok enough of my cat lady persona haha.

Tour starts in a few weeks and I have multiple emotions on this.  On one hand I am beyond happy for the guys and they deserve this, to put their music out there and see the west coast. But I am also so sad that I won't be with Timmy for 18 days.  I'm used to seeing him everyday and sleeping next to him everynight, that this is going to be really difficult for me.  It may be really easy for others, but we love being around each other a lot.  He's made it clear to me.  Another thing is even though we really can't afford for him to go on tour, I am fully supporting him doing so.  We talked and realized that after this tour all of our money will go toward getting our own place and paying to live on our own and the next tour he'll be able to do can't be for a long time because we have to plan on our futures together and living alone.   

Now that I've said all of this.... Time to go back to work! Haha.  

50 Shades of What?!

Ok....so I have to admit, like 85% of women in America, I too was enthralled by the 50 Shades trilogy.  I usually never read books like that.  And I honestly didn't even know about the books until a few weeks ago when Timothy's sister in law told me about them over a dinner we were at.  So when I got home that night I downloaded them onto our Ipad thinking I "might" give em a looksie.  I put reading them of for a few days, and on my day off I decided I was going to try and read the "Erotic" book. Haha...Oh jeez erotic...that's never the nature of the books I read.  I'm more into books about historical facts, science fiction, or books like Harry Potter and Hunger Games.  Annnnnyhow I got comfortable, put on Dawson's Creek, and picked up my Ipad and started reading.  I never download books. Ever.  I always buy them.  I prefer holding and reading an actual paperback/hardback book than on some device.  But I wasn't sure I would even be into these books.  Well well well.....the first book took me by complete surprise.  I was expecting all this BSDM with leather, spikes, chains, gags, and whips.  Nope.  It was actually and truly mostly a love story.  And a really good one at that.  I couldn't put the book down, and Timbo actually started getting annoyed because I was reading more that talking to him.  But when I get into a book that I can't put down, then I keep reading until I'm done.  That's how I have always been.  The book did make me blush with all it's eroticism and what not, but it was in a good way.  Now with all that being said, I hear they are making a movie and some of the actors they are talking about in now way fit Christian Grey's description. Ian Somerhalder is too short and his eyes are toooo blue.  Channing Tatum is also too short and not really built like they describe him.  I have however seen one actor that fits Mr.Greys description almost to a T.  Ladies...Alex Pettyfer!

Seriously just dye his hair a little darker and Perfecto!  Square jaw line, grey eyes, and straight nose!

Come on ladies who have read the books and tell me he isn't perfection!  I wasn't sure if I wanted to post any of this at first.  I thought how ridiculous of me to go on and on about this silly book thats really popular right now....but all I have to say is, until you read it..don't knock it. hehe

What's Been Up! [Photo Heavy]

So yes I have been in a bloggers rut and like I said I will slowly come out of it.  This post is like the title PHOTO HEAVY.  All the pictures are from Instagram though, because it's what I have been using to document my daily life.  Well Let's start shall we!

Timbo's mother asked me to help with the baby shower for his sister Amber, and I said I would love to of course.  I made the cake and cupcakes -with the help of my sister VL- and let me tell you, I don't think I will bake a cake like that for a very long time.  It was so difficult and having to leave straight from work to go to baking and have it ready for the next day was quite nerve wracking.  One thing after another kept going wrong and I almost threw in the towel and suggested buying store bought.  We made it work though and it turned out really cute, and The mother and Daughter both LOVED it!  So that made me very happy and made it worth doing.

Timbo and his "sister" cat Cookie :]

Me holding the finished product before the "A" was put on

The cupcakes after they were frosted and pearled

 Everything put together, it was one of the cutest baby showers I've ever been to.  Big reason was because of Mrs.Tina and Jessica

The day my sister and I made the cake and cupcakes, Timbo and I cooked out at her place.  I swear I'm so glad she helped me.  I would have been so freakin lost!

 Cason and his bff Emma

Cason and his Momma

Deal Me In had a pretty awesome show in the gym of a Church right down the road from my work.  The turn out was pretty decent, with it being a show a bit aways from midtown.  They played really good, like always!

I've never seen so many Jorts at one time...crazy

 Eric is always jumping and flaling around...so this is the best shot I've gotten of him..hahaha

 Timothy doing what he does amazingly!

Probably the coolest member of the band Doyle! hehe

Not Pictured: Walt...they kept standing in front of him, on purpose I bet.

My cat Gary finally had her babies last thursday!  Unfortunately 2 of them passed

cuties!

The surving 4...still havent named them!

It's so cute that he LOVES to just cuddle and snuggle them all.  I'm so glad I found a person who loves kitties as much as I do :]

 Amber gave birth on May 30th to little Anna Elizabeth!  She is so beautiful.  I was so excited to hold her and she was so quiet, alert, and tiny!  It's been nearly 3 years since I've held a newborn and boy did it give me Baby Fever.  But it's not the right time, and when it is me and Timothy will know.  Gahh I just love babies!  It also made me so happy that they concider me her aunt :]

Finally holding her after Timbo let her go

He couldn't take his eyes off of her, it was so precious

I picked up a new comic!  I'm really getting into the female super heroes and villians.

Just about done with it.  I have my eye on a Harley Quinn one next!

First Zoo trip in ages!

a few of my guys! Ashton, Cason, and Christopher

Ohhh and the previous post was about Timmy and I house sitting for my sister, her are a few pictures from our mini vacation.

Emma trying to eat the water as I water the plants

We made a homemade pizza with Muenster and Mozzerella and Spinach!  It was by far the most amazing pizza I have ever had.  Ever.

 And this is the fist homemade pizza we made.  It was a margarita pizza. It could have been better.

Leaving you on this picture of Timbo and Emma chilling hahaha

House Sitters

So for the past few days Timothy and I have been house/dog sitting while my sister is out of town. We will be doing so until Sunday, and I have to say how wonderful it is. It's peaceful and quiet and it just feels good to be on our own. It gives us so much more motivation to hurry and find our own home. We are waiting for tour to be here and done with until we start looking. I'd rather not be alone for two weeks at a new place so soon, that and he is saving money for tour, so our saving for a place is put on hold just for a moment. It's fine with me because it gives me time to look around for places we like in our price range. We were thinking about roommates at first, but decided against it. We love our friends and love hanging out every now and then, but we want a home of our own that we can just come home to, dress to our comfort, and do what we want without having to worry about someone else. That and we are lucky to have the jobs we have and to have a roommate who might get fired or quit leaving us in a bind isn't really something we need. With that being said! I know I have not blogged in quite sometime. And so many things have happened since my last post. I have several pictures I will be sharing of recent shows, adventures, and Timothy's new niece! I'm really considering saving for a dslr. I'm not going to lie, I do not know my way around one to save my life. But I like a challenge and something new. I was having my sister explain what lens did what and how this or that worked and man, so many things go into it. I'm not photographer, but I'd like to show you readers a glimpse of mine and Timmy's daily life. And the adventures we go on, and the shows! I'd love to get some good shots of Deal Me In shows! Well. It's slow at work, so while it is I gotta get to it! I'm slowly coming out of my funk with blogging I promise! Be back soon :]
