vampire store

I WOULD IMAGINE YOU PROBABLY THINK THIS HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH HALLOWEEN, IT BEING SO CLOSE. BUT NO. I AM SITTING HERE AT WORK HAVING A HEALTHY HIGH PROTEIN SNAK, BECAUSE IT IS ALMOST TIME FOR MY BI-WEEKLY APPOINTMENT AT THE VAMPIRE STORE. I CALL IT SUCH BECAUSE I GO, SPEND ABOUT AN HOUR AND HAVE ABOUT A QUART OF MY BLOOD PLASMA WITHDRAWN. THE REAL NAME IS BIOLIFE PLASMA SERVICES. WHY WOULD SOMEONE WANT TO GO IN TWICE A WEEK TO GET THEIR ARM STUCK WITH A BIG NEEDLE AND HAVE THEM DRAIN MY BLOOD. (IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY INTERESTING) I FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT, BECAUSE THERE IS A LARGE NEED FOR PLASMA FOR MEDICAL REASONS. JUST SO YOU DON'T THINK TO HIGHLY OF ME, THEY ALSO COMPENSATE FOR YOUR TIME. REMEMBER HYDRATE---HYDRATE----HYDRATE.......OFF TO THE VAMPIRE STORE I GO.

The Ironrite

I found this treasure I have been looking for, forever THE IRONRITE!!!

For you that have no clue its something I used as a little girl. I could only iron hankies or pillow cases. Carroll said his mom had one too and he got good enough to do jeans!!

Well I know you wonder what the heck I need it for, but I do have lots of ideas. Katie was nice enough to find a site on the internet that had lots of people that had one. They exchanged lots of ideas and reason why they even had one. Well to say the least its fun ( Yes Heather Katie & Lindsey)

Now that I know how to get pictures on this thing, maybe I can do more. Maybe Dad will try it out!

I (Katie) am starting this blog for my parents so they too can be cool like their kids who all have blogs. :) I'm imagining some of their future posts... I'm pretty sure the first post will be a picture of my Moms new purchase...An ironrite iron. Don't know what that is? Well, neither do the rest of about 90% of the population. But to my Mom (and secretly my Dad) it's a real treasure. If you are intrigued, just keep checking their blog!

Some other posts I'm anticipating are pictures from their many trips and adventures. These guys are trip-a-holics! It doesn't help that us kids have taken the grandkids too far from them. It's a good thing they have Rylee only a few streets away they.

Another post that is sure to come is something along the lines of some new piece of machinery that one or both of them have decided they can't live without. For example the MASSIVE snow plow they got to plow the roads at their cabin. I couldn't quite grasp how big it was until I saw a picture of it parked next to the cabin. I wondered why that huge yellow bus was parked there but then quickly realized, oh yeah, THAT'S the snow plow.

Whatever they post it's sure to be great because that's the kind of people they are...GREAT, AMAZING people. I couldn't ask for better parents and friends. We surely hit the parental jackpot.

Here's just a few pictures to start them off...
