Pictures...At Long Last!

Hey, Bloggy Buddies!! Here are some of the long awaited pictures! First the ones from the Cubs game. Sadly, my mom won't let me post pics of a any of my siblings :^(, but she will let me show ones of myself. Here we go!

Walking towards Miller Park. The architecture is really cool, although it's hard to see here. It looks so HUGE when you're standing right by it! I nearly fell over backwards....

Me, walking down towards the park. That's my brother in the blue shirt. I'm afraid that's all you're going to see of him!

Waiting to go in. So excited!!!

Dad and Grandpa watchin' the game. Even though the Cubs lost, I think Grandpa had a good time! He was really tired the next day, though.

Mr. Alfonso Soriano up to bat... even though you can't really tell it's him very well! This, alas, is my 'Uncle'. I do not believe he is really any relation to me, even by marriage, which he supposedly is. If he was really related to me, he would not be cheering for the Brewers, or any baseball team that is not the Cubs. :-)

Self explanatory.

It was a great night. I wish I could show y'all pictures of my brothers asleep in the van on the way home! Mom got several good pictures of them.

Here are some pictures taken today at the botanical gardens in My-ville, our new home town. Mom wanted one of each of us to frame.

On second thought, though, I won't post those yet. Mr. Stupid Angus-the-Computer (Angus is our computer's name.) refuses to upload the other pictures. Hmph. I don't like you, Angus!!!

The barn dance was super-fun! I can't wait to do it again next year! They had two shifts of dancing, because there wasn't enough space for everyone to do it at once. I danced the first shift, then helped form a fifth square the second time. The first shift was hilarious because no-one quite got the hang of it enough to dance predictably through even two or three calls. Some of us are planning to practise once a month or so with a video and cds from the library until next year, so we don't look quite so stupid out on the dance floor. Not that we looked any worse than some of the other groups, but this way we'll appear to be professionals. :^D

Mom says to get off now. I don't want to. What I want is to get some sort of job so that I can buy my own laptop someday in the near future. Like that's ever going to happen.
Tomorrow I'm going to dedicate a whole entire post to PIE, of which we had two this weekend. But I'm going to get off now, because a STUPID lady-bug look-alike is terrorizing me. It keeps swooping by me. I don't like them. The stink to high heavens, and the bite. Stupid bugs. They have practically taken over our mud room on the back of the house! you have to run through there, ducking, covering your mouth, closing your eyes, in a bee suit to avoid them landing on you. What I hate most is when they get in your hair. *shudders*

Anywho, Goodbye. I will talk to you (about PIE) later.

Cubs Game this Friday!!!/Updated on Friday

I'm excited about the Cubs/Brewers game on Friday! Unfortunately, it won't matter that much to the Cubs team, but it's also kinda good. It means that the Cubbies are going to the Play-offs! I'm really happy about that! My dream for this year? One of them, at least, is that the Chicago Cubs go to the world series. And then sweep the other team. All you non-Cubs fans: DO NOT BURST MY HAPPY LITTLE DREAM-BUBBLE!! This is our year! So, I'm looking forward to it. Asdef and I are making pillow case signs to hold up between innings and when the Cubs win. After the game we plan to give them to our Cubs-fan Grandpa to add to his Cubs collection. I'll give more details on what they look like once we get them finished. I will be the medium-height girl wearing a Cubs tee-shirt with 'Soriano 12' on the back. I'll also probably be wearing a red paisley bandanna and a big grin on my face. (:^D) Look our for us!
Lets see... Oh, an update on Operation Post-It:

Our efforts were not in vain. We were successful! HSM Avalon has posted a total of TWO times since we started our comment blitz. The comment count went up to 83, thanks to a lot of great post-ers! Now, Miss Avalon has posted a way to have a very popular blog. Y'all'll have to check it out. She also, miracle of miracles, added onto her story!!!!! Congratulations, fellow post-ers! Now we may have to turn this on Catfreak 70 soon, if she doesn't update. Don't tell her, Avalon, we'll just let her alone for a few more days, then start in on her. >:-D (that's an devious little evil grin, for those of you who don't recognize it)
I think that this Comment-Blitz could become a very useful tool. Also, Judi, we need to keep in mind your friend 'Jonno', who hasn't posted in a while, either.

I need to end this now if I want it posted tonight. I'll write more tomorrow, if possible. Don't forget to watch the Cubs/Brewers game on Friday @ 7:00 pm central time!

UPDATE--FRIDAY MORNING:
Okay, now it's Friday morning, seven hours, thirty-four minutes left until the game starts. Here's a description of my poster: on one side is "KIWI is HERE!" with a big red arrow pointing down underneath it. To the left side (right to anybody watching) is the Cubs logo in blue and red. On the other side will be "CUBS ROCK MY WORLD". Let me know if you see me! Asdef is working on one that says "GO CUBS GO! 1st CUBS GAME!!!" On the other side he's putting a big blue 'W', I think.
After the game, Mom, Dad, and the boyz will be coming home while Rapunzel and I go with our aunt and uncle. We're going to cruise Milwaukee all Saturday before coming home that night.

I can't wait 'til tonight!! Don't forget: Blue Cubs shirt w/ Soriano 12 on the back, jeans, red bandanna, big sign saying 'KIWI is HERE" or "CUBS ROCK MY WORLD". That's me.
