The one in which Jessie loses at Badminton

I've just got off the hump from the bathing fiasco of 2012 (lets hope it is the only one that can go by that name) and have finally regained motivation for blogging.  Sadly material has been illusive.  I suppose I will report on the only noteworthy happening of late around here besides lots of couch sitting and t.v. watching...
Last weekend the roomies went off to Greenville to see the new home of the cousin of their dreams.  Renovations galore so I hear.  Perhaps it will motivate them to make some changes around here...install feline friendly shelving...a fountain...a cat box to accommodate my girth... or maybe just fix the giant hole in the floor.

Freezer deciding to defrost itself = bad for wood floors
*notice exciting mail on fridge!

Here is what I gleaned from their adventure:
Jess lost at badminton.
They ate delicious kabobs...and buffalo chicken dip, and pancakes and... 
They broke in a new couch that sleeps 3 and is not a pullout.  I think this is the most impressive tidbit.
They were thwarted in their home run derby attempt by a confiscation of the ball by one Diamond Dogerson.  (Nice work! and also happy birthday to you!)

                                                                                                         Toward the net, Daron!

Armpit heart.  Disgusting.  It does look like Daron has a huge bicep though...

The birthday girl/evil genius herself!

What have I been doing you ask?
Watching the lawn be sodded by a kind yet underpaid family member.
Generally accosting guests and leaving a wake of hairballs in my path.
And giving a lot of this look.  They deserve it.
