Pink flamingos decorate my yard.

So, I haven't posted a lot of blogs lately. I've been busy with a lot of things. Mainly work and the fun stuff that comes with late spring/ early summer. Everyone is coming out of the proverbial winter hibernation and there a lot of fun things to do as the weather gets nicer.

But I have been taking photographs.



Here, you see what I have done with my pathetic excuse for a front yard. Everyone who knows me knows that I am a huge fan of kitschy, gaudy stuff. What could be more tacky than pink flamingos?

Another summertime tradition which has started back up are nights on Sara's porch listening to music and drinking a couple of beers.



It's still a little on the cold side, as you can see. Sara looks uncomfortable.



As does Brad.

Another thing that I have been all about lately is getting out of the house more often. A few of you may know about my recent anxiety attacks, one of which landed me in the hospital and prompted me to go back on my meds for my depression and anxiety, which I had weaned myself off of. One of the things I was taking was Klonopin, which is a tranquilizer, and I didn't want to do a whole lot of anything when I was on it. I'm feeling more stable on my medication now, and my doctor took me off of Klonopin, and put me on something that will perk me up a little more. I haven't noticed its effects as of yet, but I feel a lot better than I did while I was taking the other stuff.

So yeah...getting out of the house.



That's Bryan and I at Mr. B's. I go to Mr. B's a lot....it's so close to my work (like three doors down), I know all the people there, and it's pretty cheap.

Last friday, my friend Katie and I had a girl's day which was really fun. It consisted of sushi, sake, Target, Dollar Treasure, Main Street Billiards, and us witnessing a drunken bar brawl at 7pm in front of Mr. B's. I ended the night with Eric at Gusoline Alley, where we went to meet up with Steve Seck and Darcie.

Anyway, while I was at Target, I found something magical.

Some of you may remember this:



When we first got Huey, I found this gem at Target. It's made for cats, and it velcros together, so the cat can easily take it off. Huey LOVES wearing it.

So, imagine my delight when I found these:



Yup, that's right. Little sailor cat collars! Huey really likes this new addition to his wardrobe.

Jinx, however....



She's less than pleased, but she'll at least wear it. Not like the Christmas bow I tried to get her to wear.



One last thing of note. Last Christmas, Mark Christopher gave me a box of records that his parents had for me to rifle through. There was mostly stuff I didn't want, and a few things I'm planning on passing on to Steve. However, in the middle of the box was this weird rainbow colored wad of polyester. I pulled it out and discover it's true awesome-ness.



It's a freakin' hooded robe!!!



Now I can either join the Polyphonic Spree or start a cult. I haven't figured out which yet. Plus I need to figure out how to get the smell of mothballs and the seventies out of it.

Dear reader, you probably haven't made it this far. But if you have, I applaud your determination to finish reading this long photo journal of the last couple of weeks. As for right now....I have some stuff to do before work.
