Video Blog: Baby John Playing
After a diaper change the other day, John decided he wanted to be awake and just be his cute baby self, and I couldn't help but video it for his big debut to the Kimbo Central blog. And yes, he is on the coffee table, because that's just where I happened to change him haha!

Stepbrothers and people who should not own pets
Saturday Phil and I went to the movies and saw the new Will Ferrell movie Step Brothers. I have always been a fan of his movies, even though they are so stupid they are funny, I just crack up at them, I guess I have that really goofy and stupid sense of humor. It was fun to get out and see a movie together, we haven't had a chance to do that a lot.
Yesterday was a pretty relaxing day, we went to Wal-Mart to pick up some things for dinner, and when we were leaving, Phil was putting my chair on the lift and I saw him talking to a guy who was behind us. He was doing something to a car and then I saw him take a dog out and open up some water for it. I figured he was taking his dog to Petco, which is right there next to Wal-Mart, but then I saw him open the door of the car on his other side and the dog jumped in there. Phil got in the car and said the guy and his wife pulled up and when he got out, he saw this little puppy in the car next to them, with the window cracked a bit. At first the dog was playful, but then it started getting lethargic and he kept waiting for someone to come out, thinking they may have just gone in the store quickly. His wife had already gone in and told them to call over the loudspeaker for the owners of the car and dog, but after 45 minutes no one had come out. The guy decided to stick his hand inside the window and open up the car. I am assuming he must have broken the window in the process, but oh well, he had to get the dog out. Luckily he had water with him, and he said there was water in the car the dog was in, but it had a lid on it. So he put the dog in his car with the water and turned on the air conditioning, and said he was going to call the Sheriff Department if they owners didn't come out within the next few minutes. When he were leaving, we saw his wife come out with a Wal-Mart Manager, and the guy was writing down the license plate.
If there is one thing people should know, it is that you never, ever, leave a dog in a car during the summer, especially here in Arizona. While all this was going on, the temp. reading in our truck showed 107, meaning it had to be almost 120 in that car, maybe even hotter. I am hoping the dog is OK, and didn't suffer any brain damage, who knows how long that dog was in the car before that couple pulled up. There is a big problem here with people leaving not only their pets, but their children in the car. I think since last year there has been five deaths from parents leaving their kid in the car during the summer, for more then 8-10 hours. The same excuse is always given too, that they were running errands and then they either forget the kid is in the car when the get back home, or when they are shopping. One woman, very recently, put her kid in the car with the intention of taking her kid to daycare, got in the car and forgot to go to daycare, just went to her job at Hooters, and went into work for an 8 hour shift, then when she got back in the car, you guessed it, her kid was dead. She said she thought she went to daycare. Or the dad recently who took his kid to run errands, and was taking him in and out of the car all day, then got home and somehow forgot his kid was in the car, and left him there for like 14 hours or something. And people think they can leave their dogs in the car with some water, and it is OK, they will survive. But the truth is, a dog will go into heatstroke when the weather hits 105 and higher.
It just makes me sick, and it has been on my mind since yesterday. This should be a common sense thing, I mean how do you forget that you brought your kid with you and that the kid is in the car and not in the store or your home with you? And if you think your dog can survive in a 120+ degree car while you go grocery shopping, then you have no business owning a pet. Seriously, if I ever see a dog or a kid locked in a hot car, I would call the Sheriff Department right away and tell them the situation and make them come down there, and let them know that while I wait for them, I am breaking the window. I don't care if I get in trouble for it, at least I know I saved the life of an animal or child. And, if I was the one who found that dog yesterday, and the owner didn't bother to come out after 45 minutes of being paged in the store, that dog would have been coming home with me after leaving a note on the car saying if you don't want to take care of your pet, I will do it for you and if you want it, here is my name and address and by the way, the Sheriff will be waiting for you. I just feel that passionately about it.
But instead of getting more upset over this, I am going to focus all my energy on waiting for the UPS guy to hopefully stop by my house today and bring my new laptop. Oh yes, that's right, Kimbo is getting a new laptop, or as I call it, Lappy. My parents were very nice to get it for me (thank goodness for credit on a Dell card LOL). I've been helping my dad with his schooling and will also be helping him when he goes into his Masters program after he graduates in November. So it is a gift of thanks for helping him with his schooling, and also as a belated Christmas/Birthday present. It is a Dell Inspirion 1525, just the basic since I can add all the programs I want and upgrade it myself. But I did get the extra coloring, so the front of it will be purple with a blossom pattern, and a built-in web cam...which means....RETURN OF THE VIDEO BLOGS!! I haven't done one in awhile since it is just a pain in the ass to do it with my digital camera. But I am really grateful for the new lappy, because the one I have took a crap on me. The battery is shot, the charger cord is fried, and the screen looks like some sort of liquid was spilled on it. It is sort of hard for me to use the desktop computer because it hurts my elbow and having the laptop will make it so that I can type better, and also relax in bed with it, especially after I have my elbow surgery.
So get ready for video blogs soon!!

Video Blog: Our Picnic
Here are the two video's I promised from our picnic trip yesterday.
The first video is of these fish eating a pretzel that we threw into the water. We couldn't believe how they just attacked it until it was all gone. Who knew fish liked pretzels!?
The second one is, brace yourself, mushy, but I love it. He's so sweet to me, I just had to share!
Enjoy!

Picnic
Hey there blog friends!
So yesterday, while Phil was out at his physical therapy appointment, I decided I was going to do a video blog, and then the camera decided to die on me right in the middle of it. Oh well...I didn't have anything important to video blog about, just nonsense.
When Phil got home though, we went on our first picnic. There is a huge park about a block away from us called Desert Breeze. There is a big fishing lake and and a train that runs around the whole park on the weekends. When my cousin JJ was just a little guy we would take him over there and I would ride on the train with him.
So with our cooler packed with sandwiches and goodies, we headed over to the park and found a nice place to sit. The weather was a little hot yesterday, but not too bad, better then it has been this summer. There was also a ton of fish in the lake and I got on video these fishes tearing up a pretzel we threw in the water. It is crazy!! There is also another, very mushy video, that Phil took, which I think is adorable and whether you like mush or not, I am going to post it along with my pretzel-eating fish video shortly, or as soon as I am able to get around to loading the videos.
My parents came by this morning for a little bit, and it was nice to see them, I miss them a lot. Once they left Phil and I had lunch and then were going to head back to the park to go fishing. After we ate, though, I needed to come online to take care a few things, and he was watching some TV. He came here, into the bedroom, when I was almost done, and laid down on the bed talking to me. Next thing I know, he is snoring! Now, I am not sure if I should wake him so we can go fishing, or if I should just let him sleep. Hm...maybe I will just see if he wakes up on his own...
Well, that's about it from my end right now. I need to upload the videos I made yesterday to YouTube so I can post them on here, and I also have some pictures I will share with you. I decided that video blogs don't always have to be me ranting in front of the camera, they can be of anything that I take video off in my daily adventures.

Video Blog: My New Haircut
*Seriously, I think Youtube hates me, which is why they make me look like a boob in the first frame before you click play*

The video blogs stay!
I've gotten some good responses from the video blog I did on Friday. Those who have written me about it seem to say they liked it and wish for me to continue. I even had a few people, that I have known online for awhile, say it was nice to actually hear my voice and put it to the words that I write. So for now, the video blogs will stay. I'll do a combination of both, regular blogs, and video blogs.
I hope your all having a great weekend. I was finally able to get out of the house yesterday. Phil's back door of his Jeep has not been able to go up, meaning that we haven't been able to load my chair back there. Yesterday morning he went back there with all his manly tools and somehow got it working again. So we met up with my parents to get the ramps needed to load my chair into the van, and off we went.
Today we are spending the afternoon at my mom and dad's. I haven't spent a good amount of time with them since we moved, seeing as mom had a terrible infection in one of her teeth, but is not feeling better after having the tooth extracted. It will be fun to hang out with them, and cook with mom again.
Speaking of my mom, her birthday is coming up in Thursday. Originally, I was going to spend the day over at their house, but now I invited mom and dad to come over here for lunch. It will be my first time really entertaining in my new place, and I am looking forward to it. I am going to make a lunch and also a birthday cake (lemon with vanilla frosting, at the birthday girl's request). The only thing I wish I had was a couch, so I could finally get my living room together, so people have a nice place to sit.
Well, I'm off to get started on my day. Phil is sleeping in, so I am going to take this opportunity to look up some recipes for the week, and write down things we need when we store by the store later on the way home from mom and dad's. I am really getting into the cooking, I've always loved to it, and now I can try all sorts of new recipes. Have a great weekend!!

My first video blog....Human Nature
So the newest thing in the blogging world is to create what is called a "Vlog" or video blog. Instead of typing out your thoughts, you sit yourself in from of you video camera and talk to you audience.
Surprisingly, as much as I love technology, and the chance to use the video camera on my digital camera, I have never tried this before. But since I had no work left to do today, and Phil won't be home from work for awhile, and I had an idea for a blog, I decided to try it. This is what happens when your bored and home alone.
So enjoy!!
(Why does Youtube find the most unflattering pose of you and stick that as the first image??)
