in answer to all inquires as to a date being set, whether vulcans, zombies and sock monkeys will be invited etc. i give you all the same response i have given to adam, that all i know for sure is this:

the bride can and will change her mind about anything and everything as many times as she deems necessary.

adam didn’t even really ask or state anything specific i just sort of put that out there as a warning to him. he looked kind of scared.

We got home early yesterday afternoon and went straight to the Pitch and Putt. I thought I was going to beat my best score of 68 but I did not, I only got a 72, BUT I officially beat Adam, I have no idea how it happened, he basically had his worst round ever with a 74, but a win is a win. I have not rubbed it in at all. This morning I golfed with my buddy David (he fell madly in love with Gus while kitty sitting), I was putting like DeMarco man, I got an 82. In Prince George we golfed at the Par 3 where the longest hole is 200 yards and the shortest is 96, average length 155ish. I got a 96 and I was not the least bit pissed off, I expected to do much worse. On Saturday we practiced on my parents lawn with flower holders for greens/holes and wiffle balls.

This weekend we also partook in the first annual Liscumb/Carlson Book Club. The first book was The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. Adam and I are assholes and did not finish the book until Sunday morning and we had months to read it. My excuse is that my allergies have been bad, causing nastier than normal headaches and Adam has been working nasty long hours. But honestly, we are just assholes. The meeting was great we ended up running out of time and were still debating and discussing during the commercials while watching the 24 finale. If you think you have seen the last of Jack Bauer, then YOU DON’T KNOW JACK !! My parents and I have been going through a rough patch in our relationship which is likely pretty normal at this age but I wanted something that would really bring us together as a family and give us something other than playing scatagories to do when I go home. My Dad has chosen the next book, both parties are planning to purchase web cams and mikes so we can have online meetings as well. I was in a women’s only book club a few years ago but I basically got kicked out because I couldn’t stand one of the founding members (I don’t think she cared much for me either) and I gave her book a zero. (it was a total coincidence that the book she picked was as bad as it was and that she is as big of a bitch as she is) Not to mention that when it was my turn to pick, I picked �The Wasp Factory� by Iain Banks and most of the bitches wouldn�t even read it, they said it gave them nightmares and they were scared. Are you fucking kidding me? If you only want to read top 40 crap then join Oprah’s book club !!!!!!

We obviously took Dr. Vegas with us so he could play with Dr. Fever, if you think the worst trouble they got into was getting drunk then you are a fool ! I should do a monkey montage here but the monkeys got into some debauchery that is not even suitable for display. These are the only other two I can show.

I have to say, Adam and I are extremely flattered by the response we have gotten from the adoptive parents of the monkeys we sent out. We have many more monkeys to make. Hannah dances with Bernice so much that I have had to perform surgery on her and just seeing how proudly some of our other friends display their monkeys in their homes has touched our hearts and brought a tears to my eyes.

Please forgive me for the remaining photos. I do not own a digital camera and I went a little nuts with my parent’s. I would feel arrogant about this if it wasn’t painfully clear how bad I need a brow wax and the fact that I have about 4 months worth of roots showing. I am really starting to let myself go. I hope Adam doesn’t cancel plans for our wedding next year.

My Parents have arrived and there is no Dr. Fever. I am tres upset !!!

My mother said she did not want to forget him here ! As if I would let that happen !

I choose to believe he is off on some stealth mission.

My parents will be in Vancouver tomorrow before they head off on a cruise for two weeks, they are driving down from Prince George (I will have their car for two weeks yippee !!) I thought it would be a nice idea to offer to monkey sit Dr. Fever for them. Having viewed the action shots I also feared the Dr. Fever may not be all he appeared and felt I should warn my father. I sent him the following email:

i was thinking that maybe if you and mom wanted that adam and i could baby sit dr. fever for you while you are away? those action shots leave me thinking that he may cause some unforgivable debacle if left alone. i fear that ‘Dr. Fever’ may actually be his alias and that he is in fact a stealth ninja. if so, do not let on, at any time that you have discovered his secret identity. IT could end up very badly.
anyway….let me know if you want us to watch him i am sure dr. vegas would love to see him given that all the other monkeys are gone !! and bernice sockenmeyer is a bit loose and has other monkey friends.

To this he responded:

As you can see from the pictures Dr. Fever likes to listen to music. Unless you have a head set I’m sure he would be upset to have nothing to listen to. He makes a daily visit to help feed the fish, not sure how the fish would get their food if he was not around.
When I get back, the Dr. is getting riding lessons. Perhaps you could make him a cowboy hat so he does not get too much sun.

I will check to see if the Dr.’s suitcase is handy for packing, and I will ask him if he is up to a road trip.

Me:

I was just going to forward this to hannah and then i realised i called her sock monkey loose. haha.

I bet we can find him a cowboy hat or make him one. or at least give him a straw hat that way he can use it for sun bathing on the porch as well.

We have head phones.

For Christmas 2004 Adam and I made Sock Monkeys for our friends and family. We are able to keep in touch with most of the monkeys, except for Dr. Fever the monkey made for my parents, they live up north and we have not seen Dr. Fever since he made the long winter trek to his new home. I asked my dad to take some action shots so we could see how he is faring.

Sure he looks innocent !

Dr. Fever and his Buddy from the WWF.

Attacking J.J., Dr. Fever obviously thinks he’s tough.

Feeding the fish, or about to eat the fish, you tell me.

The Dr. lovin the ladies. He gives them fever.

He loves his music.

These are photos of just some of the Sock Monkeys.
