Swankocity Lost

Hello, It's been a while since we've spoken and I have much to tell you.

First off, how cute do I look in jeans? Pretty cute is right.

So, we are moving. Mommy and Daddy decided that we are moving to Maryville, Missouri. Dad got a job offer to be a R&D Engineer with Kawasaki and has accepted. So he put in his two weeks and suddenly everything is going to change, again.

Mommy and Daddy have been fighting a lot lately over who gets to read the new Harry Potter book; they are about halfway done and so far nothing super exciting has happened.....or has it?

Last weekend we visited Manhattan. Daddy's old Tae Kwon Do instructor helped him do some stuff with the car and now the tires will wear better. We also visited the Floerschs and I met Ayla. She's itty-bitty and very spindly. Ian remembers me. He talks a lot more now. Our visit also included: Lunch at 4th St. Cafe, Mocha and Mango Berry Freeze's at Java, Resist Temptations (Burgers with a fried egg on them) from So Long Saloon, a couple trips to Hastings (one ending in a most worthy purchase of the Foo Fighters album "The Colour and the Shape" which is possibly the best album of the 90's, or so I'm told), Wal-Mart, the dam spillway and the Best Western (which was never really a haunt of theirs but that's where we stayed the night).


Much like Daddy in the hotel while watching Legally Blonde I like to sleep. I may not always remember this fact but I assure you, I like to sleep. I like to watch my flutterbug as I drift off to sleep and then once I'm there I like to pet my bear. No matter what though I must have my hands free; this allows them to be sucked on or to hit things or to just generally get really cold. The best part of sleeping is waking up and seeing Dad and then eating. Mmm food.




Which brings me to my latest news. Today Mommy put me on my back and went to take a shower. The distance from me to my lion was uncaringly far, so I took matters into my own hands and when Momma came out of the shower this is how she found me. Regaling Mr Lion with tales of grandeur. I'm so clever. And seriously cute. Every now and again I roll over just to keep the attention on me. It takes me a while, though, and is a lot of work. That's good for me; I have a little pudge to spare.



Well till next time, or this weekend for the majority of you readers, I bid you well. Oh and here are some spoilers from The Deathly Hallows:
1) Harry Potter does not change his name to Perry Haughter.
2) Severus Snape did not die between books.
3) Chapter 13 is titled "The Muggle-born Registration Commision".
4) Dumbledore is mentioned multiple times.
5) There are many spaces in the text.
6) It is flammable.
7) Kreacher makes a treacle tart.
