wow

Hello everyone. sorry it has been so long. Jeremy just reminded me that i have this thing. LOL. Well nothing too important has reallly happened since my party. Sam, Brandon, Kirk and I went to King's Island Saturday(18th). That was fun. They are got to ride the vortex, diamondback, firehawk, and racer. i only rode the racer and hated every second of it. I am not a fan of the "falling" feeling. All in all we had a really good time though. Left here at 8am. hit a detour and then finally made it there by like 9:35. stayed until 7pm when my feet absolutely would not hold me anymore. I'm sure they could've gone on until midnight as planned. I feel pretty bad about making all of them come back so soon. I got an airbrushed hoodie that says "we survived king's island '09 Kirk and Autumn". I really feel like it was a survival thing. LOL. Don't know if i would be up for going back or not. There were some really good points to the day. When we took a break from rides and lines we went to the arcade and Sam hit the jackpot on one of those games where you watch the light and hit the button. that was awesome. She said that is the first big thing she has ever one. Got a picture of her with the game holding up the massive amount of tickets. I got a video of them on the firehawk too. Well gotta get too work. Might be late actually. lol. Try to write more later!

Hello to all! We have finally gotten internet! Woohoo for Bridgemaxx! So i will now be able to check up on things and to email and stay in touch with everybody. Im so very excited. its nice to be able to just look something up when i need it. Hopefully this will all work out for the better of my life on 8th street. no more of kirk and me annoying each other bc one is playing games and the other has nothing to do. Good times! Gonna go play some more now. Bye!

Small Countries Beware!!!

Well, there hasn't been a post in a long time bc guess what?! Autumn hasn't had internet! I just spent 62 minutes and 58 seconds of my precious life trying to understand technilogical speak of someone with a very strong accent. I am about to invade small countries! all this over a game walk thru so my hubby can find all the things that he is missing on his game. i love my husband i love my husband i love my husband. AHHHHH!!!!

But anyways. June 5th is my wonderful husband's birthday. we were going to go to king's island but the people that we were going to go with kinda skipped out on us. Money issues. So we are probably going to have to find something else to do. big bummer for him. He was really looking forward to it. Maybe a nice dinner and a movie? IDK. Whatever he wants to do. It is his birthday. We may ask his mom if they want to combine our wedding dinner with his birthday dinner and take us to the melting pot that saturday. Again that is his choice though.

Called the vet and my poor little puppy who has 72 teeth will have to get half of them pulled. They said that it is common in small dogs. especially the extremes of the breed. Their puppy teeth dont fall out so their adult teeth just grow in behind them. They said that she puppy teeth can cause the adult teeth to rot so they have to be pulled. Poor baby. Our Corgi is going in for his shots and a physical. the poor thing was born in october and hasnt had anything. i know i know. we are bad pet owners! Hopefully everything will get straightened out on that front soon.

Other than that nothing is really going on at our house. Just day to day things. Vacuum, dishes, yell at puppies...

OH!!!! I did sell my african grey. I guess i forgot bc i have had like a week to get used to the idea. she is rather happy in her new home. She gets out every day and there are kids there. She is still trying to get used to that but Billie told me that she is up to letting the kids pet her. progress! Hopefully she will get used to it all very soon.

But yeah that is all. Until next time!

Hello all! Another exciting day in the life of the Lowe family. Not actually. Just sitting around with nothing to do. We are getting pretty excited about our plan for the renaissance festival this year. We are going two different times. Once with our friends the Whitecottons and then once with my grandparents. This was especially surprising. They hadn't shown any interest any of the other years that we went. I was actually asking them more as a joke, but low and behold grandpa said that he wanted to go. New things happen when one retires. We are also planning on going to king's island with sam and brandon. Camping trip with that one too. Much to my dismay they are dead set on attempting to get me on a roller coaster. I told them i can be a very good cheer leader but i was not heard. I forsee much medication needed. lol. sigh. Anyways. Easter was cool. a Little crazy cause we didnt know where all we needed to be until like the day of. we went to louise's for about an hour and then we were late getting to brent's grandmother's and we got an ear full over that. We were there for about another hour trying to beat the kids off with a stick. Not really. we would never hurt a stick like that. lol. Then we had a nice couple of rounds with sam and brandon of monopoly. It took 7 minutes to order a stupid pizza. we joked that we could have made one faster. The man that answered the phone really wasn't all that bright. Allwell. Jeremy came over to see the pictures that we hung up. that made me feel good. I wanted him to get to see them. Easter went well with only minimum yelling. Good enough for me. LOL.

Hello! Just thought i would write up some new stuff here. Kirk and I are doing well. We are patiently awaiting the arival of our tax refund check. I do believe there is a new TV in our future! Our puppies are doing well. Ragnar is losing his puppy teeth so he is chewing on anything that will fit in his mouth. However cute this is it wasn't very cute when he took off with my spool of thread this morning. *sigh* After a few hundred threats of crate and "bad dog" the well loved and thouroughly slobered thread was deposited in my favorite crocs. Needless to say i had to continue with a different thread. So is the life on Beech St. Kirk is working a 4 day weekend so I am running around like a chix with it's head cut off trying to find things to keep myself entertained. One can only play Wii Fit for so long. After that legs do tend to give out. With all this free time you would think that I have a remarkably clean house. Nope. Shoes everywehre. Dishes and Laundry to be done. Not that great of a house keeper. LOL. Much to the dissmay of my mother in law but we won't go into that again. Allwell. Gonna go for now. Have any ideas for things to do let me know!

oops!

Wow! way too long since i have posted on here. lol. just goes to show how long its been since i have been to grandma's with a computer! well I have started violin lessons and those are going well. The man that is teaching me is from grandparents church so naturally the only songs i know so far are church songs besides twinkle twinkle little star. amazing grace and a spotty and squeaky ill fly away. I'm really liking it though. i just got a nice full size violin. This will be my fist week taking it. Its really fun. well i think it is. Kirk doesn't wanna sit through a lesson with me though. lol. guess he doesn't like to listen to me squeak. Paul is teaching me to play by ear. He plays something and kinda tells me how to do it..."first finger, third finger...second string...no no i said second string" and then i play it and then we go onto the next thing. Its fun and challenging. Every monday at 5pm. He is very patient wich is good bc im not very patient with myself. I get frustrated when my brain knows what to do but somehow it doesnt quite get down to my fingers.

Aunt Stephie has her surgery thursday and 10am. a wicked hour to be doing anything let alone letting people cut on you. this is one of those surgeries that i dont know how to spell. One of the ones that make peole lose weight bc they pretty much dont have a stomach anymore. Hopefully this will help her with the other problem that i cant spell with her knees and her ankles and the really bad pain. I'm thinking about how im going to get up there. kirk works thursday. so he cant take me. grandparents are leaving at 7am but if i go with them i would have to pressure them to be back in time for me to get kirk up for work. that would be bad. i dont wanna have to make them come back before they are ready. Kirk and i may just have to go up on the weekend. I hope she understands. i dont want to over whelm her with people on a day when she is probably going to be stressed anyways. 

Anyways so i have taken up yet another hobby. Flowers! it all started with this $1 little green shrub looking thing at wal mart that didnt look like it could be easily killed. I'm always looking for ways to make the house look better since i dont want to put anything into the lot that we would have to leave when we left. So i bring it home water it and stick it in my kitchen window....and forget about it. About a week later i remember and check on it and it's this pretty pink flower thing! Lo and behold i had picked up a hyacinth. It is still doing well and now has three other window mates. All of them hyacinths. I now have 1 pink, 2 blue and 1 white. They are all doing well. Only the pink one has bloomed to date but i am looking forward to the other ones. Especially the blue.

Saturday March 21, 2009 i fell in love. Kirk and i were at wal mart and for once the had a wii fit. Kirk and i debated for a while as i was wanting "Twilight" since it had just come out on dvd that day. He said i could have one or the other. Where's the fun in that? I decided to go with the wii fit hoping that maybe at the least it would be something new to do and at the most that it will help me lose some weight that lovely birth control and an addiction to pizza rolls has put on. Well im over at my friend sam's and her husband and i start playing with this thing and i just cant quit! its so much fun! Who would have thought that a 280 lb person would be saying that exercise is fun?! well currently i am regretting the hours of hula hooping and running in place and balancing board activities as my calves are mutinying my every movement. lol. i will get it all worked out soon though. 

Anyways. Kirk and i are thinking of going to Richmond so im gonna go now. Bye!
