Pictures of the new place

Moving is such a pain in the ass, but now that Ry and I are in our new place and mostly unpacked, I thought I would post some pictures. 

The 3 season room that leads to the backyard. 

It connects to the Kitchen

 and this portion of the kitchen has a door that leads to the hall to the front door of the building.

and there is a pantry to the left of that door

through the kitchen is a small hallway that is showing Ry's door. the bathroom is to the right and the living room to the left. 

Living room from the hallway 

to the right is my bedroom door and Ry;s office double doors

and looking back at the mini hallway is the built in area

 So….my parents came to the Zoo today and they were lucky enough to meet a Serval cat named Churchill. HFPZ keepers Dan, Christy, and Andy were there…as well as Glenn…

While the whole thing was interesting…the best part goes like this

First…when I came to Hamill Family I saw Dan and shouted DAN DAN the TOILET SEAT MAN! This was a fail for 2 reasons…1) Dan has no earthly clue who I am. 2) He didn’t understand why I would call him that. …. It was because years ago there was an invoice I paid that paid for a toilet seat or toilet parts and I thought it was weird for him to have had to order such a thing for his job..and it just stuck. Sorry …your nickname is that forever.

Second…the Serval was sitting nicely and Dan was sitting nicely and my dad was rolling up in his ECV when the strap on something got stuck to the hand accelerator on the ECV and my dad started careening out of control…

Dad- I CAN’T STOP!

Serval- Bug eyed at my dad rushing closely past him.

Me- grabbing Dads shirt as he whizzes past trying to slow him

Small girl child in tutu- jumping out of the way curls flying

Dan Dan the Toilet seat man- calmly puts his foot out and stops the tire…or conversely…had his foot run over…or…his psychic death stare slowed my father…

Dad- somehow manages to thwart DDtTSM’s psychic hold and careens into the far wall where he finally stops.

Serval- Someone give that human a pinkie! Good Trick!

Bad mom Game edition

So I have to defend myself before I go any further…Xbox Live gold accounts get to download a preselected game twice a month…so 2 new games a month for FREE! One of the games was Saints Row the 3^rd a game where you can run around in a sandbox environment driving cars buying property etc.

 

That etc is running people over blowing shit up and so on and so on.

 

Being the bad mom I didn’t even THINK of looking the game up before I let Ry play it. He loves it of course.

 

This game  led him to asking me if he could get GTA 5 which had better cars etc etc …when I finally found out GTA 5 was Grand Theft Auto I almost shit my pants. I dissuaded him from purchasing the game by saying NO. Later at Game stop we were asking for a similar game that didn’t have strip clubs etc…and we mentioned Saints Row…to which I found out the Gamestop man felt SR was WORSE than GTA. Thanks buddy…thanks a lot. So Ry used all his money to buy GTA and that leads to the next story…

 

Last night Ry asked if he could use his allowance to buy some money on GTA so he could get a sweet crib. I told him maybe he should just go work for that nasty dude that has him knock over local joints for cash…he said he didn’t get paid enough or get it consistently. I told him I was glad he learned that lesson early…and to get a real job later in life.

 

I told him I would think on it and as he went to bed I sat down to purchase some cash for him. It was really freaking confusing. Every button I pressed did something weird…I finally happened across the online store and got him his money. When I was trying to exit the game I ended up hitting a button and jumping into the car…I drove around for a bit looking for a clothes shop…his outfit was skanky. Instead I stumbled across a tattoo place…I managed to get out of the car, go into the store and I picked him out the sweetest paper airplane tattoo for his shoulder. He’ll never see it…he’s been wearing that smelly outfit for days.

I exited the store and tried to get back in the car. I ended up punching the windshield out and crouching beside it looking like someone having bad hallucinations. Just when I was ready to give up I stumbled across the jump in car button again and I was off. I was still on the lookout for a clothes shop…I was rolling down the street when I saw THE STRIP CLUB! OMG! I should check this out and see how bad it really is!

I launched out of the car….walked past the 2 ho’s and around the bouncer. The door to the club wouldn’t open…I started trying buttons…next thing I know I am beating the shit out of the bouncer! I stopped right away, but when he started to get up I realized he would probably try to hurt me so I beat him some more then I tried to find the button fro the car…instead I pulled a gun and shot the building! I backed up and there were 2 paramedics by the bouncer …they saw my gun and started to run! Next thing I know someone is shooting at me…IT’S THE PO PO! I  managed to get my ass in the car and take off…the po po were on my tail…I managed to crash twice and then go around a couple of corners fast and down the side of a hill. I LIVED! I got out of the car and slunk away in a crouch cause I couldn’t figure out how to stand up. Hope Ry can find his car the next time he logs on.
