Watch Out Bambi...

Well what a happy household we are!!!! Mr. Samuel J. Clapper shot the buck that he was so trying to get!! Yes, he did, got it yesterday. I do not have all of the details other than these pics:




The only other details that I have on this shot was that it is very bloody. Blood on the garage floor, blood on the garage wall, blood in the driveway, blood in the Target parking lot as I drive away and look back to see more dried blood in the truck bed. Woohoo! Not! I hope that blood comes out of my driveway, had to cover it up with snow so the neighbors didn't think we were murdering people over here. And yes, Mr. Buck is hanging in our garage, as we speak. Would you like a video of it?? If you are really interested in all of the buck details, feel free to e-mail me and I can give you the points, location and all that other hunting jargon.

What else is new??? I'm back home, made it home Saturday afternoon. I am actually missing my little buddies a lot though, so I think I'll be going back in a few weeks. Those boys are so adorable. Did you watch Miguel singing me a Christmas song?? How can you NOT think these boys are adorable? I mean here, here is a video of Manny trying to stay awake by rocking himself all over. It didn't work though...




AND WE HAVE FINALLY MOVED INTO OUR HOUSE!!! We are still missing some living room furniture and some bedroom furniture. Feel free to donate to the Clapper/Rivera furniture cause. But we at least got our bed from Minnesota and put a brand new comforter on it. Yay! It's so comfy! We feel at home!!!

And Sammy is almost done with the tile in the laundry room. We'll be putting our new washer and dryer in there in no time. The dirty laundry is piling up man. So if you're jonesing for a new video of our house, let me know.

And if you're needing some Christmas pics, here they are:




All of the remaining pics are on our pic site, which you can find to the right. Until then....tootles!!! It's snowing and Sammy has to be to work at 1am!

Christmas with My Little Buddies

Hey Ya'll. I'm still hanging out in St. Paul with my three little buddies, Gabriel, Miguel and Manny. I got up here sunday evening and what happens? I take a drive to Walmart on Tuesday and I almost vomit in the aisles!! Yay! It appears that I have caught the boys's stomach flu, which means I almost tossed my cookies in Walmart on the day before Christmas Eve, and I had to sit in the parking lot for 20 minutes before I felt well enough to drive myself home. Yay!!!

So I had planned on going home today sometime, but Sammy wanted me to wait, since it's supposed to be freezing rain in Milton, and I'm bringing home our lovely orthopedic bed. We want to make sure it doesn't get dretched. So I am here still, with my pals, my brother, my moms and my little sister. Today is Miguel's birthday, and he was kind enough sing me a Christmas song. Here he is:



Soo precious!!!

Manny's birthday was December 23rd, and we had fun shoving his face into his birthday cake. Here he is all angry and full of fury:



Oooh, he was so mad, but only three minutes later he was all fine again:



So will I ever get home with our wonderful bed? I sure do miss Sammy a LOT. Can't wait to see him again!

Christmas Fun with Sam, Amy and Brittany!!!

It's Almost Christmas

We are still working hard to get our home ready, I am pretty sure we'll be able to move in this weekend, but then I'll probably be leaving on Sunday or Monday to go home to Minnesota. It's been very snowy down here in Southern Wisconsin, and therefore, Sammy has been plowing like crazy. Plow plow plow, and guess what that means? That I get to shovel the driveway. Fun!!! I have been freakin' freezing this winter. Jeez, why is it so cold out there? It's like I wasn't born and raised in Minnesota or something!!!

On a more sad note, my cousin Kim passed away a few days ago. It was very unexpected. She had been suffering from migraines for a while, and she just collapsed the other day. They haven't figured out what it was yet, but I am going to guess an aneurysm or a blood clot in the brain. Kim is one of the 50 cousins that I can name. She is my mother's sister's daughter. My mother's older sister Linda has five children, Kim was the oldest, and I do believe that Kim was older than my mom!!! In the summer of 1993, when I was just about to turn 16, I spent a month with my Aunt Linda, Kim and her family up in Anchorage, Alaska. Kim had three daughters with whom I played, Sasha, Rachel and Jackie. I haven't seen those girls since 1993, (not including the 1 hour that I saw Sasha a few years ago). They were only about 12, 10 and 8. Poor Jackie just graduated from college the other day, and she is getting married next month. They live in Atlanta, so we won't be able to make it for the funeral. But all of my Aunt Linda's kids are great, I really like them all, which is more than I can say for some of my cousins!!!

At the time in 1993 that I stayed with Kim, she was in the army and we were living on the army base in Anchorage. It was a great time to spend up in Alaska, where the sun never set. I'll miss you Kim, I hope you're keeping Aunt Gail who also just passed on company.

More snow is suspected to come this evening in Southern Wisconsin. Sammy has to go into work at 1am this morning. He's a poor baby. I'll most likely be working from home tomorrow. So don't worry, you'll still be able to get a hold of me. As soon as we get our house done, I'll do another video so you can see it. It's very different now! Quite amazing what paint can do! So the next time we chat, I'll probably be either living in my house, or up in Minnesota with my little dudes...

No, It has not Happened for Us Yet!!!!

No, we haven't moved into our house yet. Yes it's been almost a month. But come on, would you if you didn't have to?? We can easily stay at Sam's mom's until our painting is done. AND...Sam has started on the laundry room floor. He ripped up the vinyl flooring and is now in the process of installing tile. He likes tile apparently. And we won't worry about the brand new washer and dryer sitting in our living room waiting to be installed!!! And my poor baby sis Jujee wants to come down and visit with us and we don't have a place for her! Ha! Our living room is a mad construction zone. But I have almost the whole living room painted!!! I'm cool. That is the last room we need to paint, besides the laundry room. Now we just have to get all the way up to those really high ceilings!!

Snow Much??

Yes, it is snowing. I'm so happy about that, I'm so happy about the fact that if I try to drive to my house I'll most likely crash. So much fun. I didn't even go to work today, no one in my office did. Everyone worked from home. And Sammy has been gone working for about fifteen hours. Poor guy. I'm just hanging out with my pal Nero the kittykat. After six months of living with him, he's finally decided he wants to come into our bedroom to get some pets. Aw Nero, you are such a fat kitty.

So yes, this whole blizzard is putting a damper to our moving into our new house. Yay for winter! NOT!

Last Goofy Video from Singapore...

For those of you waiting to see how our house is turning out, I don't have any new pics yet. I'll do a new video when all of the painting is done. So far, we have two bedrooms, two bathrooms and the kitchen, mostly. I've painted all of the main parts, and Sammy has to go through and tape everything up and finish the edging. It's really amazing what difference a coat of paint and new outlet covers make. Wow!

And I forgot about my last video that I recorded in Singapore. It's a goofy video of all of the baboons at the Singapore zoo. Watch the crazy young ones flopping all over the place; they remind me of some kids I know. Yeah, and just be glad that I didn't record that one crazy baboon who was 'playing with himself.' Teehee!
