glacier_kittyYesterday mom and I went and saw Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (going to the movies is a birthday tradition of mine). It was funny haha. Except it wouldn't still be dark in New York if one hour or less from sunrise you left from Washington DC on a plane. Fail :P
Haha this morning I was trying to sleep and Abby jumped on my bed wanting to be pet and when I ignored her she jumped back down, stood on her hind legs on the side I was on and batted my face! Haha wow. Then when she saw I was awake she jumped back on the bed and demanded to be pet haha

Haha Ryan..
Spenard divorce: A noisy, sometimes fatal, way of ending a relationship. A proper Spenard Divorce involves a husband, wife, girlfriend or boyfriend shooting at his or her partner. The action is named after the Spenard district of Anchorage, where the rite is often conducted is one of the area's many watering holes. Since a Spenard Divorce often involves alcohol, a surprising number end with all parties still breathing

Owww. Meanwhile, Remy just walks on me and curls up right on my head purring as loud as he possibly can, so I always wake up haha.
