Sisters, Zoo and Bacon Day

Hello all! So I seem to be behind all the time. So here's a Mobil update! First off my lovely sister came to visit last week, and we got to hang! She got me a lovely pair of work shoes at goodwill for a whopping $4, as well as some stuff for herself, them came with GF and I to the homebrew club meeting! For dinner we had Goat Hill Pizza, and generally it was wonderful!! 

On wed before work I headed to the zoo, and checked out some of their wildlife. I love drawing animals, and so I did for like 4 hours, would have been 6, but the busses... Uuugghhhh....

This last weekend was another lovely event, BACON DAY! In honor of Sir Francis Bacon, we cooked up soooo many treats!! 

About 15 people or so came throughout the night, and the food was enjoyed my all! But the real star was GF an I's home brew! We went through a case and a half and none was wasted! All in all super successful!! 

Proud of My Size #2

For those who don't know what this is, the lovely and amazing Rachel of The Near Sighted Owl is running a fat acceptance, love your body no matter what your size campaign. I have had a lot of body issues in my life, and my sister had as well. She's a 00, and for her people calling her skinny, bean pole, anorexic, etc are just as painful as calling a heavy person lard ass. Especially those who accuse her of having eating disorders. Sorry guys, turns out chasing horses for 12 hours a day and owning 3 large dogs will increase your calorie burning immensely.

So here we are, my sister and I, at one of her horse shows! she is a Riding instructor for a large barn and was taking her students. I'm in one of my favorite summer dresses, from Target a few years ago! Super fun!

So I have been commissioned for my first mural! :D Hurray!! I'm really excited! I'm going to be painting an 8'x40' wall for a local alarm and stereo company. In exchange the guy will do my alarm and kill switch!! :D WOOT!!! So rad! So there will be pictures and updates on THAT shortly.

Also signed up for twitter. I dont know if I'll actually be using it much, but I'm untidyvenus. We will see :) It will prolly be much like my facebook and just random comedic quote from Adam Carolla, Christopher Titus, Alison Rosen and the like.

So the plants are doing REALLY well. I discovered that putting red pepper flakes in the pots keeps the squirrels out- mostly. also the tomatoes are so close!!! Finally!!!

And kitten went for another walk yesterday evening. He also climed his first tree, and fell out of his first tree.... He's my special little guy ;) lol poor dump kitten

Pickles felt left out

No Time For Back Up!!

I dont know why I posted that except Ive always wanted a reason to scream it. So! Been crazy busy these days, finals are coming up, Gentleman Friend spoiling the crap out of me and work, Im not an idle girl! This last weekend sweet sweet GF and I headed up to my homeland. First stop was to see my sister, the lovely horse trainer and... eeeerrrr.... perfectionist. I had warned GF about her... sharpness? So he was plently prepared, and she was really lovely. We also got to see the taco eating pony Rubicon win a class! I didnt get a picture but GF could stand OVER Rubies and not touch him... So tall and so short... lol! But it was really nice to see Tess, we have been building up our relationship the last few years and actually acting like sisters.

Next we headed downtown and met up with Lawyer Rachel!! :D Also not mentioned, but before my move to Detroit, she put me up for about 6 months off and on. I lived on her lovely Murphy bed and played with kittens who are now cats. GF met her for the first time as well, and we watched baseball while taking football. I think they liked each other! She's one of he few people I really care about approval from. lol. But it was great, I need to get up to Sac more often. Also, Her kitty Spectro needs a home, her allergies are getting to much, so please message me if you want a really cute 2.5 year old kitty!!!

Around 2 we visited the STATE FAIR! I've not mentioned it here, but I used to show my pygmy goats out there years ago now, and have a sad nostalgia for it. I do realize its a total money sink, and it was HOT AS HELL. About 108 in Sactown, which means prolly  115 out on the blacktop of CalExpo. But we had a TON of fun! Funk.Defied was playing (their so hot!) and  we watched that show, and we saw the forestry center and got tiny Sugar Pines, ate FRIED SNICKERS and FRIED COOKIES DOUGH, visited the farm, pet sturgens, visited the goats, and spent a lot of time in the buildings with the air conditioning. I loved it so much!! We even got home about 9 or so.
