This is hutch I am house sitting and taking care of him he loves fish like most cats. I think its funny how cute his feet look when he stand on the hind legs 

Some one spilled hellll basil on the walk way to my house. The only reason I know its soaking wet basil was the bottle was still there as you can see. 
Some asshole tipped us chocolates wrapped in foil. Thanks jackass for that lame tip cuz that was cooler than ohhhh MONEY! 
It was a Dr.Seuss Xmas for us and if you dont know what I'm talking about the tree is a whoville tree from how he grinch stole xmas. 


I can see jimbo as a dad when ever Molly is around. It pulls at my Heart strings,.
Oregon Autumn, man it amazing up here. 
This is Snow at 430 Am 

This is a baby changing table that i saw at our nations leading medical insurance KAISER. youd think they could spring for better baby are products considering they are suppose to be the nations leader.... It looks medieval. Id expect to see this in an old castle. or jail for electrocution. 
Yeah i would have thrown these couches out to. 
I finally got to see the goonies on the big screen. I saw it at a bar and restaurant movie theater and the audience was so into the movie it rocked!!!!! 
These are jackets i saw in the mens section of burlington coat factory! Fashion has taken a sad turn the bottom one is money and the top pool balls. 

Pure INSANITY!

Things have been so insane for us lately I haven't had the energy or drive to blog. Now things are gearing up to be a little more insane so I am taking a moment to breath and fill you all in... As you all may have read on Jims Blog we have bought a freaking house! Its a really awesome townhouse duplex :
It was very exciting to own a home before our 7th anniversary and Christmas. We closed on the 20th. We were very excited and I was very releaved to finally have it for our selves. I did all the house hunting and only saved the really good houses to show Jimbo all in all I saw 38 houses and Jim saw ohhhhh 6. I was tired but I had no clue what more exhausting days lay ahead of us.

The NEGOTIATIONS.

At first the owners were really cools and took our second offer (our first was was way low), then the inspections took place and well the owners were not willing to give any more. This was then followed with who will pay for the repairs before we buy. Some things had to be done in order for us to get the FHA loan we applied for. IT was nasty. I spent 2 days fielding phone calls and goig back and forth with my agent and the sellers agent on what will be done to make this deal happen. We had a really cool real estate agent and I will probably use him again, a now good family friend to me, Ross Mang ( no hes not Chinese hes German). In the end we were talking about $1,000 worth of repairs and both the sellers agent and ours payed for a portion of it and Jim and I covered the rest. ( we got Ross an awesome set of tickets to Cuirc Du Sole as a thank you ) When all was said and done and all the appointments were over we had to sign papers, holy crap did we sign. I want to count them right now for you so you know how many times we had to sign our names, the great thing is they misspelled my name. A common issue I have but what they got wrong was not the usual (angie, or angis, or angela or angel) they made my middle initial a "J" when its actually an "F", so I had to correct it on every paper along with my signature and then initial that I changed it to and "F'.

Ok the total count is 95 signatures and 95 Initials correcting my misspelled name.... what the hell!?!?!

Oh well moving on... We got the house on the 20th and on the 22nd we went to see our house with a contractor to have the bathroom remodeled before we move in on Jan 12. When Jim got there he was greeted by a flood in our laundry room and hall. ( there is no washer and dryer in the unit) The floor was bowed and the carpets were saturated:
this is the kitchen pantry that has water that seapped into it.
this is the back wall of the laundry room there most of the water damage is.
the water was coming in some of the carpets as orange water.
the dark area is water
this is a shelf that was in the laundry room that had water damage on it from the leak.
this is the hall after we pulled up carpet.

There was some miscommunication and not a lot of fully understanding on mine and Jim's part about insurance for the house. so we didn't have any. I did however get us signed up and now we have it after the fact. There was some concern as to where the water was coming form and after 2 inspections it has been determined to be the roof. which thankfully falls under the HOA. That means they have to pay to fix allllllll of the damages. Of all the dumb luck we have had. Now we are just working on a deadline to move by the 12th of January. Keep Your fingers crossed.

Accidental Coolness

I was at Target Shopping and had passed some jewelry box armoires that I thought were awesome so I took a picture to show Jimbo and my thumb it the take picture button by mistake and took the above picture... I for one think its hella cool! kinda looks like fire or lava but its actually the side of the cart i was pushing. below are th pictures of the Armoires I liked

Some Random ness

some randomness this is sammy looking like as super hero 

shirts, lots of them 
some of the viles of blood they took form me to test my allergies... I also have to pee in a bucket for 24 hours and turn it in to them for analysis. 
ethanol is dirt cheep in Longview, WA

Molly Mae has a huge crush on Jim and she loves tattoos. Below she is watching him play for us. She is like a love sick 13 year old. 

Kaiser thank you for this wise words.... ASS HOLES! 
The stove at the house we are trying to buy is sooooooo not digital! As you can see the timer has a second hand and has to be wound.  As Byonce says I need to " UPGRADE, Upgrade Upgrade" 
Country ass Jimbo in a TIIIINNNY hat. 
THis is Sammy ! it was a funny pic to me.. so i had to share it with you. 
Was this shoe made for hiking and playing basket ball ? you'll never catch me in that I bet well see it in the EVE or Qwen Stafoni video. 
I love oregon weather

Im moving Into a plastic bubble

So recently I have developed really bad food allergies that are life threatening so i had to get some allergy testing done. They did the basics on me like grass and dogs and cats as a scratch test on my arm. the doc ordered the food allergy testing be done from blood testing due to the shock I go into.....  below are the phases of the the scratch test. I was allergic to everything they put on me including the "control" salt... the nurse said she never had anyone allergic to salt before. lucky me. 

5 min into the test and you can see the juces of the allergens on my skin still... 

10 min in and I have one hive so big it looks like a boil.
end of test they put cortisone cream on me to alleviate the itch. i scored off the charts for size of welts. one took over 1/2 my wrist... good old grass. 

One hour hafter...


4 hours after

24 hours after. 
I am allergic to asparagus, bananas, broccoli, salt, and most citrus fruits. I cant wait to find out what else... next thing you know ill be allergic to air. 

So close.....

Well its close we might be moving by december 20th...the owners are wanting to close in January for tax reasons but we are hoping they will agree to the 20th of december...and if they do then we are moving 30 days from tomorrow... We have signed the papers today so tomorrow we are pending. here are a few pics of the outside of the house.. 

one block up there are mansions being built. there are 3 there already and there are 5 lots being built and thats only gonna help our resale. the neighborhood is established and doesn't feel like a HOA. There are no power lines everything is under ground. ... i love the high evergreens behind the house... you can see more inside pictures at Jimbo's blog.

the back yard is a giant "L" shape jade is gonna love to play out there. 

these are the large ass houses going in one block away... note the 3 car garage... 

Our Anniversary

For weeks Jimbo has been taunting me with the place we are going. I knew nothing just one clue it had a great view and it came with recommendations for the food. Our special anniversary started off at the Roloff farm (if you don't know its the family that the show Little people big world is filmed about on TLC. Ill start with the highlight of our day THE DINNER

Jimbo exceeded the hight limit in the parking lot
this was he view from our most romantic Anniversary Dinner. COULD YOU ASK FOR MORE. It was on the 30th floor. The Portland City Grill. And whole crap was the food good. (see below)
I love it when he tells me i have a surprise and string it along. THIS was AMAZING.
He got us reservations weeks ago and set them for sunset so we could see the city change.
MMMM SUSHI!!!!! I left the rice ate the fish!

Pear and apple bread pudding. I was so full i took it home.

the sun setting out our window!
I haven't seen a live caterpillar since i was a kid! I saw this one on our anniversary
This is why we got married in the fall. The amazing colors.



We went to the roloff farm and took a tour this is one fo the freinds fromt eh show " little people big world" we think hes funny. He was our tour guide for the trip. I freaking loved it!!! I got to see all the family. I just didnt get to meet any of them I really wanted to meet Matt the dad. I think hes funny ad probly a really fun dad.
I did get to see him on our tour. The whole family was nce and stopped polity to take pictures with fans. mostly 17 year old girls.

we got to the Roloff farm a little before 10 when they open. We immediately got tickets for the tour a reasonable $5 per person. We immediately got in line and only waited a brief 10 min to board. buy the time we got back it was about a 2 hour wait here is a pic the line of fans wanting to see the farm up close. hello random porta potty in the pumpkin batch it was called a honey bucket.
Just a strange exit sign the guys is bolting to the door like a shop lifter oddly enough we saw this at a mall. It would also insure a feeling on panic come an emergency. How very fight club of them
