Everyone keep Kim, Bryan, & Avery in their prayers. Kim's bloodwork came back off so they did a test today to see if the new baby has spina bifida. He does. He's due in Nov. They go back next week to work out a road map of what's next. Here's some pics of all 4 of um:

I do believe that is called "karma" to those who really believe in those types of things. My sweet baby Frank loved to "love" everything, no one thought it funnier than dear ol' cousin Meestee. He has since stopped that, though I believe that is probably why he is a runt (7 months & 34 lbs...should be 55ish). Seems that is a side effect of ball choppin' early. Now he only humps occassionally, like when Nancy tries to take a nap, then it's time to go to town on her head. Better her than me (or Vic, or kitty, or the couch, or the air...etc) so I'll take his midget-ness in exchange.
I'm still in Hobbs. I worked at William's all night party thing and felt like I'd been hit by a train the next day. William looked at me at about 3 am NM time (while he was playing at my roulette table) and said "Can't hang with the young ones anymore, can ya Manda?" And the sad truth is, he is right. I'm so not cut out for the all-night party lifestyle anymore. Even without alcohol, I was hung over the next day!
We are off to San Antonio tomorrow. I'm ready to go home and see my poodles and kitties. I knew that I would miss them, I always do.
Maybe we should just move to Hobbs....something to ponder....

We have all the windows covered! Yeah! Well, except the bedroom, those aren't in yet. The dude just came and installed them in the study, entryway, and upstairs! Yeah for covered windows! Yeah for the neighbors not seeing me free-boobin anymore!
I'm here at the house with just two sweet kitties. Vic's at work. And the poodles are already in jail for our up coming trip. We leave tomorrow for Hobbs. Will graduates on Monday & Vic and I are working in the casino at the all-night party. Hellz-yeah. As close to Vegas as we can afford! And then on Thursday we are headed to San Antonio to watch Nathan (Vic's best friend) graduate on Sunday from med school. High school, med school...it's all the same :).
I'm going to miss the poodles. We are coming back next Sunday, but I can't get them until Tuesday because of damned ol' Memorial Day. It's not nearly as neat to me now that I don't use it as a good excuse to get sloppy before dark...Vic has to work the whole day (7a-7p), so I'll spend it w/ the two sweet kitties again.
Off to do laundry. And to run around neck-id, cause I can.

Here is the article from hobbsnews.com:
Strong finish for Matthews
ALAMOGORDO -- After opening the first five holes of his second round at 6-over-par, William Matthews made a decision.
"I told myself there was no way I was going to end my high school career like this," Matthews said, after going 2-under the rest of the day and finishing the 5A State Golf Championships in a tie for 10th individually with a final-round 76.
The La Cueva Bears (582) wrapped-up their fourth-straight team state championship with an even-par, 292, and Zach Fullerton shot a 1-under, 70 to claim individual medalist honors. Las Cruces (608) and Clovis (613) were second and third respectively as a team.
Hobbs (334) finished in eighth place with an overall 658.
"This was a tough field," said Hobbs coach Clay Faulkenberry. "The guys kind of had a rough day, but I'm really pleased with the way we finished."
Matthews had two birdies on the back nine, and shot 34 to finish with 76.
"I made pars on six and seven, then it just all came together," Matthews said. "I hit a lot of greens on the back, which was the difference. The bottom line is, I hit shots after the fifth -- I guess I woke up."
Jordan Boerio, Stephen Kuitu and William Jourdan each shot 86 in the second round, and Josh Latimer carded an 89.
After a lackluster day as far as the team was concerned, Faulkenberry said he was happy to see Matthews' turnaround.
"Like I said (Monday), Will's a gutsy kid," Faulkenberry said. "He got it into his head that he wasn't going to end his career like that, and he didn't. That's William Matthews -- when he has to turn it up, he can and he does.
"He showed a lot of pride and a lot of guts -- you can't ask for a better example for a senior at the state tournament. You salute the effort, you admire the pride and you wish you had him for five more years."

"You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the US of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the 3 most powerful men in America are named 'Bush', 'Dick', and 'Colon.'"

I went swimming tonight. Vic went too. I swam 42 laps, or 1050 meters. It was fun. I love the feeling of being in the water...so powerful, but small. It's the closest I will ever be to being in space, I think. I am going to start going regularly. I've had a rather yucky health issue pop up this week (http://www.inciid.org/faq/pcos1.html#1.2) and it's kind of scary to realize I'm getting "old". Well, you know, older...but still. I'm not the beer chuggin, chain smoking, only need 3 hrs a sleep girl I used to be! Anyway, I don't know how exercise will help my ovaries and all...but they say so, so I'll giver a try!
Mandy is adjusting well. Nancy has a hamburger nose (thanks to Mandy's claws) but doesn't seem to be bright enough to leave her alone! Other than that, she is the sweetest cat ever! She comes when called and is very lovey-dovey. Unless the dogs are around, and then she is like the Tazmanian Devil. She will also eat anything and everything...last night I was looking at Vic and she jumped up and stole my WHOLE dinner roll...and tonight Vic gave her a mushroom and she scarfed it down.
It's weird that my dad/Misti's mom are related...because my story (if written out) would sound almost just the same as Misti's. Except for that whole college thing, my parents ain't prafesshionally edumacated. Just worldly :). But mine are just as in love today as 27 years ago and NO ONE thought they would last...they knew each other like 6 weeks and then eloped...and my dad's family didn't like my mom (still don't, ha ha). Hope it ran in the family and we got it too!
