The Force Is Strong With This One

Alright, some of you may have noticed that there haven't been many contributions to this blog from the Flatland with a "Y" chromosome, but here is my first: I am showing you the cool Lego set that I got the opportunity to build. First of all, I would like to thank the Hollomons for loaning me the set, since I know I would have never been able to have shelled out the money to buy such a set. I would also like to thank my awesome wife for putting up with the entire set being in the living room for far too long. I do have to say, that to me it was worth it!

Please note the size of the ship, and you will not be surprised that it took me about 5 days to finish this bad boy.

I will blog. I will I will I will

Okay, I have ten minutes to come up with something exciting to say. First, some of you may be wondering why there is a new post on this blog. It has been so long and while I will admit I did lose ten of my original twenty minutes to post in attempts to log in to this thing, I am dedicated. I WILL post TODAY. So, what's new...we got a new dog, a new house, and new jobs. So much change, it is dizzying really. Why, you may wonder, did we replace our dog? Aren't dogs supposed to be a sort of member of the family? You don't have the option of getting rid of annoying siblings or even offspring that slobber too much and bark all night, so why should we have the luxury? This, my friends, is the upside to not having had the wonderful opportunity of procreating as of yet. Because if we don't like certain "family members", we can place an ad in the paper and find a loving home. It's not like we make a habit of it, but it is nice to have options and choices. Currently, we own a small Yorkie-Pekingese dog named Nest. We've had her since January. She is by far the smartest and the cutest yet. However, the rat refuses to be housebroken completely and we are currently not on speaking terms. Yes, I talk to my dog. I dress her too. We have decided that she will stay with us as long as she's alive. Partly because we are too embarassed to even think about doing anything else but mostly because we are "small dog" people and it just took us a few tries to figure that out. Well, time's up. Hope everyone is doing GREAT!
