Congratulations to Ben and April on their recent pregnancy!  The due date is July 21st, 2009, so let’s hope the baby is one day late so (s)he can share the birthday with me!  

Kim is getting excited about buying baby stuff for them…I’m just going to start stealing stuff from Russell and Melanie’s house!!

This weekend started out pretty great, and then ended up being pretty crappy. The good parts are that Kim finally got her new car. It’s a 2009 Honda Accord Coupe, it’s awesome. It’s about time too, her car was getting pretty old. It’s still a good car (Jesse gets it now), but it is in the stage of life that a new driver needs to see how much used cars can be!

Yesterday was pretty relaxed. Kim went over to her mom’s for a little card playing party. I went over to Chief’s to watch football and drink the beers.

Then today, mom called me and let me know that my grandmother is having some tissue from her lung biopsied. The doctor is pretty sure it is cancerous, but we will know for sure on Tuesday. The good side to this (if there can be a good side to lung cancer) is that it was caught in her routine checkups, so it hasn’t progressed to the point of her being able to notice side effects from it. The doctor also says that it is in an operable location in the lung, so they can go in and remove it. Of course, she’s an older woman, so anything is dangerous.

Today we had to take Cricket to the vet hospital. Well, we probably didn’t have to, but we did. There was a big bump on his back and Kim was worried. I told her that if it was still there tomorrow we might take him in. Then he started wheezing and trying to clear his throat like it was closing up, so we went ahead and took him. It was probably a bee sting, and they just gave him a shot and sent us on our way. All is well.

We also went with Brian and Amber this weekend to see that “..make a porn” movie — it is really funny, and really shocking. Today, I went and saw “Religulous” by myself. It isn’t really insightful or super entertaining at all…basically just a “All religious people believe they have the correct religion, and all religions preach of a war against the others, and these are the people making the decisions in our country” kind of film. We all know that fanatics are…well…crazy…nothing new in the movie really.
