Did you notice this in the last picture? This is Myrtle. She owns that spot. Why? you may ask. Well if you look underneath her, she is sitting on top of her catnip!! That's her catnip and she LOVES it!

Asian pears, One of my three artichoke plants, yellow squash and of course tomatoes!

Watermelon, my herb garden (including cat), cucumbers, and bell peppers.

I have to water around Myrtle and her catnip. Look at that tongue move!!

Happy Birthday Judy!!

This is Judy's dog CoCo. Isn't he precious? Happy Birthday Judy. James and I miss you very much and wish you the best Birthday ever. We wish we could spend it with you. Have fun and give CoCo a treat for us (he likes pigs ears!)

Draco

Isn't Draco cute! We gave him a piece of Cheddar (One of his favorite cheeses!) and I had to take a picture of him. I like the way his little fingers hold things, so cute! His favorite foods are carrots, cantalope, cheez-its, and yogurt treats. He gets them all very often, that must be the reason he is so BIG!

Chyrisa's Art

My cousin Chyrisa has recently taken up caricature drawings, and she's pretty good at them! Here she did one from a picture we took at Florida's Disneyworld in 2007. I especially like the ears on James. Great work Chyrisa, we love it!

Update Us!

Hi, thought this picture would be a cute post. We are doing well. School has 4 more weeks left, I can't believe the semester is almost over. I had to drop microbiology, I was not prepared enough. I am still in algebra and PE. I plan on taking PE over the summer, I love to go to the gym! I have lost a lot of weight and have built up nicely. I have started my spring garden, I will have pictures soon. We also have a new kitty, her name is Zelda. I will post a picture and the story soon.

James New Look

What do ya think?!!

James Has A New Gig

This is James and his teacher Heather. He is apprenticing at Half-Minded Images in Phelan; learning to become a body piercer. He really likes it and Heather is very nice to him. The only problem is that I have become his guinea pig! I now have new holes in all kinds of new places! Not quite sure about that, but oh well, I can always take them out.

Florida 2007

I'm still trying to post some back pictures. Here are a few from our trip to Walt Disney World. This was in December 2007. James, my parents Tony and Lola, and James at the Magic Kingdom and Epcot.

Steve's Second Tattoo

They say once you get one, it's non-stop. We'll they are right. This is my second tattoo. It is on my left calf. I had the outline done first. I had the color done when I got back from Florida in December. It is the sun and moon by the way!

Happyp Birthday Chyrisa!!

Today is my cousin Chyrisa's birthday! This is a picture of her with her mom, Laura. Happy Birthday I Love You!! I hope you have a great day. You have fianlly caught up to me, feels sooooo good, doesn't it??

Alligator Farm

When we were in Florida, we went to the alligator farm in St. Augustine. I was really cool. We got to see reptiles from all over the world. One of the best was the swamp were there were hundreds of alligators right under the bridge we were walking on, can anyone say lunch?

This is the view from on top of the bridge over the swamp. You could buy food to feed the alligators. They would swarm around the feeder, though there were many others who were just waiting for us to fall in!

Us and my parents at the farm. They had a nice time, they like to take people here.

This is Gomek. He is the most famous alligator at the farm. He was stuffed upon his recent death. He was HUGE!!

Steve gets a Tattoo

This is my first tattoo. I got this before I went Florida in November. These are pictures of the actual process. The artist name is Shaugn, he works at High Rank Tattoo in Barstow, CA. He has done most of our work; he is a great artist. This is on my right calf. It is a Greenman (google it if you are unsure; wikipedia scroll down to Wicca!) And yes it hurt like HELL!

Update

So sorry for the state of my blog, I have no good excuses. But instead of dwelling, I am just going to pick it up again. School started last week and I love it. My classes are everyday at 8:00 am. It is nice to get up an go in the morning again. I really like my Microbiology classes, it is fun working in the lab. This picture is from our Florida trip. This is the two of us at the alligator farm in St. Augustine, it was great.

Happy Birthday James

January 20th James celebrated his birthday. We went to our favorite Korean restaurant and stuffed ourselves with the all you can BBQ! Soo good!
