We are Such Geeks ;-)

So, it's been a little while--I'm SORRY, Kirsten!! ;-)

Actually, I didn't realize just how long. . . when I was putting this together, I realized that the little set of pictures I'd put aside for the last entry never got posted, so this is Two Posts for the Price of One!!

On October 11 we went to see a production of Twelfth Night at the community college. It was pretty good, but it was in an outdoor amphitheater and it was COLD!!!! I mean Really Cold. We had fun but came home freezing. I don't think it's been as cold again since.
In other news. . . our new living room furniture!!!!! (discretely celebrates furniture store going-out-of-business sale) Yes, I take too many pet pictures. . . Sam kickin' it in a shoe boxPippin doing his best to look obedient and deserving of a treatSam, who jumped right into the garbage can when Erik pulled the bag outSo, this last weekend we went to a geek convention; my first one ever. Hero-Con. And it was pretty fun! Plus we won new graphics cards!! Woo hoo!! And got "free" t-shirts which I made Erik pose in when we got home. I had to take several to find a good background. . .
Was the last picture worth all the rigmarole, you ask? No. Of course not. But did you look at all the fun pictures I got in-between?!?!!? :-D

Our good friends Theresa & Anthony were also at the convention, and put us up for the weekend.Anthony (well, all of us--but he was MOST excited) got to meet "The Defuser" who won on the second season of "Who Wants to be a Superhero". Jarrett is cop from Texas and listening to him talk about being on the show was very entertaining! Now I want to see the show!I'm laughing here because Theresa almost fell off of her chair as she scooted back to take our picture--just so you have some context! ;-)Anyhow, the convention was fun, and we got to spend the rest of the weekend hanging out and visiting with Theresa & Anthony and going to church with them. We headed out after a yummy chili lunch on Sunday for the long drive home.

Anthony & Theresa's cat O'Malley (MauMau) watching us leave--how about those gorgeous baby blues?!?Silky kitten waiting for us at home. . . as yet unaware what treats were in store later in the week. Ha!Yesterday Ben & Pei came up for the afternoon and brought their two kitties to meet Sam & Pippin. I was remiss in taking pictures, but did snap one of Sam & Itchy meeting on the cat tree. Yes, we got a cat tree... and have already had our money's worth of entertainment, let me tell you!! The cats did okay; we were amazed that they all hissed for the first time ever though! Pippin spent most of the time outside; a new place and a new cat were enough stress for one day. We had lunch outside (yes, it's still warm enough to do that in the middle of the day) and then played fooseball! First Ben & Pei beat us 2:1; then Ben & Erik beat Pei & I 2:0! Don't worry, I beat Erik 3:0 later that evening!! Anyway, we had lots of fun hanging out and playing and talking and watching cats. :-)
