Well, people. I’m afraid I’m going to have to start this blog with a little bit of tough love. With the exception of "V_Murder" Vienneau, we feel that you guys aren’t pulling your weight as far as the comments section goes. We’ve given the last year and four months, spilling our guts to you guys, and we feel you haven’t reciprocated. Why can’t you all be a little more like Vienneau? I never thought I’d hear myself say that. Haha. Honestly though, we want to see all future comments sections into the double digits. We've even added a spell check so you don't need to be insecure about your poor spelling.

Now that we’ve got that messy little business item out of the way, I can move on to item #2 on the agenda: the lawsuit of the People v. Ruby. As you can see by Exhibit A, Ruby is a nothing but an angel.

Anyone who says otherwise is probably just some crazy person off torturing puppies when he's not torturing our kitten.

We don’t deny that Ruby hasn’t had a bit of a sordid past, but what do you expect, she grew up on the East side of Binghamton. As you can see by Exhibit B, Ruby and the People have reconciled their differences, so we expect the class-action lawsuits against Ruby to be dropped.

Now, to our weekend - Pat and I made some progress with our house search. We now have a buyers agent, we got pre-approved for way, way more than we intend to spend, and we even have some houses we are interested in looking at. We are supposed to look at two houses on Monday and we’re very excited about them. We’ll give you more information once we know more.

Friday night, we had a lovely eight-person ripper. Since Pat and I are house hunting, we are more conscious about what we’re spending. We had a ridiculous amount of beer in our fridge, so we decided to have some people over rather than go out. It was SO MUCH fun. Cima, Amy, Scott, Kirsten, Marcel, and Melodie came over. After just a couple rounds of kamikazes (or franimakazes as Kirsten calls them), I ran out of triple sec and lime juice, but as you know, necessity is the mother of invention. I decided to throw together vodka, peach schnapps, and cranberry juice, and let me tell you – it was delicious! They tasted a lot like Watermelon Jolly Ranchers. I now have two signature shots. Even crazy lampshade lady gave them a "thumbs up."

Saturday was much, much more low key than Friday. Pat took me on a date to Bill Gray’s for bogo cheeseburgers, and then we went over to Mike and Holly’s. It was good times.
