Howdy!!

Hey everyone!! Sorry we haven't posted anything recently. Hope everyone had a great holiday! Everybody ready for Christmas? Just thought I'd give an update about school and such.

 Kat and I did the Artist Market in October and Kat did really good. We will miss The Katz Meow when she goes away but she's still using those creative juices and making art in other forms! Kat is extremely talented, especially painting and drawing! I'm still doing Photography and enjoying having Photoshop again! Mumsies is doing well too. 

Ricky is excited to be just about done with this semester; and then Spring and he'll officially have his Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering. I'm so proud and excited for him! School is going well for me as well. I'm actually doing well in Math which I wasn't really sure was possible. Kat will be starting classes for her degree in Photographic Technology starting this Spring! So proud and excited for all of the things going on this year and next! 

Well, that's pretty much it for now. Keep checking back on us though!! Have a great Christmas Season everyone! (I'm sure I'll be back to rant about some customer who pisses in my Wheaties!!)

busy! busy! busy!

      Hey everyone! Just the Masked Furball here to share what's been going on with myself. As you all know I graduated on August 23rd and started school on the 21st. It's been busy but not hectic. I;m enjoying school so much more than I thought I would. I thought I would feel like I'm missing out by not being in a classroom but I;m actually enjoying not having to tune out other people when I'm trying to focus.

       I also got my license on Friday and I;m ready to drive as soon as our car is out of the shop. I'm so chill and it feels amazing!! I can't wait to be done with school even though I've just started. I;m actually growing a little hair on the back of my head and in the massive spot on the front of my head that I've had forever. I feel so free. Like everything in my life is coming together, which worries me because it doesn't usually stay that way for long. 
       I have done so much more in the past six months than I've done in 10 years!! It's a great feeling to know that I'm going to make a better life for myself and my kids(Lord, Help us when that happens ;p).
      Oh, I almost forgot to mention the best surprise ever was that my brother Sean and his wife and kids came here for my graduation!! They were here for 2 weeks and I got to spend every minute with them! I had a blast with the kids and just seeing them every morning when they woke up and every night before bed was just awesome! I wish they lived closer. Those precious little faces really just melt my heart. We took them to Homosassa Springs and saw all kinds of animals, they liked it. The beach was a blast too! Emily did not wanna leave and of course I got burnt to a crisp because I forgot to put on sunscreen even though Kat warned me. 
       All in all things are great!! I got to order Photoshop, I can't wait to get back to doing my pics and posting them on my Digital Cherry page. Oh, Kat and I will be at the Artists Market at The Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art on Oct. 14 & 15 in Tarpon; come on down and say Hi and take a look at our art!

The Masked Furball Graduates

I can't even begin to say what an amazing feeling it was to walk across the stage last night. All I know is that I wish I would've done it sooner! I hate to say it but sometimes life just gets in the way.. I sat in a room upstairs while I was waiting for the others to come up after having their pictures taken and looking out over the water way that included a Marina dock, a view of St.Pete Pier and Albert-Whitted(?) Airport Tower.  I began to wonder where would I be if I hadn't of done all of the things I have and been through all of the crap in my life. Would I be as happy as I am right now? Would I appreciate all the hard work I've put it at work and life. I don't think I would. Life is a big part of what you make it and I want a better life for me and my family one day. Anyways, had a great time at graduation and the dinner with my family at Chili's! I'm also so happy that my brother "Slimebucket" was able to come and bring his family with him!!! I started college this week and am loving it even though it's online. Well that's all for now, off to enjoy a mani-pedi with my Twisted Sister, Mumsies and Gretchen!

On the road again... Day 5 & 6 - May 23 & 24,2012

On Wednesday we relaxed and headed the opposite direction into Georgia and saw the other half of the Nantahala River. It as beautiful! We saw a few dams and the training area of the rapids that was used in 1996 for the Olympics training. We were just off a few weeks for tourist season otherwise the dams would be open with more flowing water than it was. 

After heading back to the cabin Jen went down to the river with Mr.Bill to take pictures and look around. We also sat in the yard on lawn chairs so Jen could get pictures of the humming birds but could hardly get any good shots.  As our trip came to a close we enjoyed another wonderful home cooked dinner and then went out to the fire pit and had s'mores!

On Thursday we headed home in the early morning and of course got lost finding our way to the highway. It was a long drive home but we did make it!

On the road again... Day 5 - May 21,2012

On Tuesday we headed towards Cherokee. On our way we stopped along the way. We stopped at Patton's Overlook in the Nantahala National Forest where the river runs through and it was beautiful!  We took pictures of enough bugs to realize we could never live in North Carolina, while it is beautiful, there were too many creepy crawlers we couldn't identify!

 Moving on, we stopped for a drink and a gemstone shop caught our eye so we decided to check it out. We all got some bargain buys and got to learn a little about the area from the nice older man running the shop. We soon made it to Cherokee where we had lunch at a pizza buffet. After lunch we toured the town which is a strip with all kinds of handmade Indian gifts and apparel. Definitely some good buys there too! 

As we headed back it started to rain but that just meant more great pictures for Jen! We had dinner at a rib joint called Rib Country, sooo yummy!

On the road again... Day 3 - May 20,2012

The next day we went to Mercier Farms which is an apple orchard that has an awesome gift store full of food items! We got all kinds of goodies! They had a deli and that made awesome sandwiches! They had a cinnamon apple bread that was to die for! Afterwards we headed down to the town of Blue Ridge, Georgia. Such a quaint little town that has a railroad that takes you to a tristate area. Nice shops and seems like a quiet little town just neatly tucked away in the mountains.

We enjoyed every night at dinner because  Mary Jo and Bill are great cooks and treated us to some great home cooked meals! After dinner we enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching the fog come in around the cabin. It was cool but creepy if you've ever seen the Stephen King movie The Mist. The dogs would've protected us if anything would've happened. We met a few of the neighborhood dogs. A Golden Lab named Murray who was just like a ginormous teddy bear; Grandma Speedy who's been around on the mountain the longest and River who is a Black Lab. All so sweet!

On the road again... Day 2 - May 19,2012

Saturday morning was great we all got up for breakfast and all of us ladies went to get our nails done. Kat and I got pedicures and the rest got manicures. My lady was very nice and actually talked to me which doesn't generally happen. Kat made good friends with her guy! After the manis and pedis we went for lunch. Wendy and I had Subway while everyone else went to the Chinese restraunt  next door.  After lunch we headed back to the hotel to get ready for the wedding.

The wedding was beautiful! We head back to the hotel for the reception and had a blast! the Clemson Tiger showed up too! That was really cool! We headed back up stairs for the night and got ready to leave for MaryJo & Bills cabin in the morning.

As we left he hotel it was raining and it rained all the way there but we took a scenic route that was just gorgeous! We stopped at a convenience store along the way and used the bathroom and I the doing that unless I buy something so I bought Moonshine Jelly! Yea I know, weird huh? They say to be careful when you open it because it is super strong.

After long we get to Mary Jo's and get to sit and catch up and the dogs took us on a tour of the property. It was beautiful, plus you could hear the river down below.

On the road again... Day 1 - May 18th,2012

The Twisted Sisters and Mummsie are on the move! We are headed to Greenville,South Carolina for our cousins wedding. We are really excited because we will see some cousins that we don't get to see often. We will also be sharing the drive and our antics with you along the way.

Let's start with driving on 301; we saw a really cute little church to stop and take pictures of and then got back on the highway only to be bullied by a few driving idiots. First there was this old lady who didn't want to stay in her lane and nearly kiss other cars with her front bumper. She just about rear ended a car that was going a heck of a lot faster than we were. Plus, the douche bag truck driver that kept speeding up to get around and then would come up on another car and then have to reduce his speed by at least half just to get over again only 100 feet down the highway. Oh and driving through the smoke on i10 sucked too!

We have just left the Georgia Rest Stop and are on our way to Savannah to have Baldinos, the best Jersey subs ever! Kat is very tempted to find out if the  MazDuh! can do its limit of 160... We are also very tempted find us some nice Georgia Boys! So, we just had lunch at Baldinos and of course it was awesome! We are making our way to Greenville and at a stoplight in Savannah we were stopped because of a train that had the freights double-stacked. That was something none of us had seen before.

So we just got off on our exit of one highway to another and we ran over this big tire shredded in the road that scared the bajebus out of us... Yea let's not do that again! We are crawling down the road to our hotel turn off road and seem to be hitting every light on the way, fun fun!

Okay we finally arrive at our hotel and check in and our awesome Cousin Julie(the one whose wedding we came for) has Hostess bags at the front for us! They were filled with all kinds of goodies- nuts, baby bottles of booze, water, gourmet popcorn and a huge tin of gourmet cookies! It was so nice of her to think of us and thank us for coming.we have finally settled into our room and called our relatives who were across the way from us. So we do the hugs and talk and Wendy(cousin), Aunt Gloria and Mumsies head to the Greenville Airport to pick up Aunt Martha;Kat, Uncle Thad and I stayed behind to enjoy the cocktail hour that the hotel was hosting.

We went outside after a little while, we were waiting for Kristin(cousin) who was en route. I also smoked for the first time. Just a puff off of Thad's cigar he was smoking and I was right, I hated it! So Kristin arrived a little while later and everyone came back from the airport and we went to dinner at the hotel. We had a nice dinner and loud of course because this family has no other volume. Finally, it was late and we were exhausted and we all went our separate ways for bed.

A Big Decision

How do you make a big decision? Do you weigh the pros and cons? Do you go with your gut? Do you follow your heart? I have a big decision to make and it is definitely going to be a toughie. 

I heard of a place that is hiring people all the time and it comes with great hours and benefits. It's much better environment than my current workplace. Problem is I would really miss the people I work with and my customers. It's all I've known for almost 7 years now. How can I just let go of such a big part of my life even if it is for the better? 

I would only work sometime between the hours of 8 - 8; Have better medical benefits; Weekends guaranteed off; and the most important part - holidays off! I'm just not so sure that the grass really will be greener on the other side... Did I mention that the pay starts off at $13 an hour? I've been where I'm at for 7 years and barely make $10.50. Easy choice for some but it's a hard one on my heart. 

It's a good thing I'm going on vacation soon. Hopefully I can sort through my thoughts and figure whether or not I wanna make that switch that could change my life; whether it is for better or worse. You don't know unless you try right?  I'm hoping I'll make the right decision but I'd hate to not take this opportunity and find out that it would've been great for me..

HELLO KITTY!!!!!!

Sun's Twin Discovered

Discovery website:

http://news.discovery.com/space/suns-twin-is-an-optimum-seti-target-120426.html

Here is a really cool article about the discovery of a twin sun about 200 light years away that might (or might not) have similar planets to our solar system.

The reason I am posting this is because of a statement they made that got me wondering...

"Keep in mind that any alien astronomers on such a planet would be studying Earth as it appeared in the early 1800s. That information, encoded in light, is just arriving at HP 56948 now. Our radio and television signal leaking into space won't reach the star for another 130 years. In the absence of such an electromagnetic signature extraterrestrials may overlook Earth and scout elsewhere."

Does that mean they would only see the light from our planet or they could actually see what was going on on our planet from the 1800s? Would that be like time traveling?

TGIF

I know this is an extremely overused term but TGIF!

Here is a site that talks a little bit about TGIF, its origins and more.

Big Bang Theory

I should have listen to my mother and sister when they told me about the show The Big Bang Theory when it first came out a couple of years ago. I didnt start watching until its reruns started on TBS and I haven't been able to stop watching! What a funny ass show! Who knew nerds and science could be so funny.

Personally I would have killed Sheldon a long time ago, but somehow he always manages to sneak back into to being liked ... for a liltle while anyways. Bazinga!

Poor Penny, I feel bad that she seems to be the butt of most of the jokes with not understanding the nerdlings and the science talk. Unfortuanlyt they had to cast the part as a blond which only makes it worse.

Did anyone get to see the episode with Steven Hawking? It is one not to be missed, although I would have liked to have seen Dr. Hawking more in the episode.

It looks like tonights episode Wolowitz and Bernadette are getting married! This should be interesting!

WELCOME to Two Twisted Sisters!

Hi! I’m Kat!

Welcome to Two Twisted Sisters Blog, the Misadventure of Kat and Furball (aka Jen my younger sister).

This blog is going to be a mix of funny, weird and annoying things that we run into every day. Sometimes there will be updates on our family and friends too. We plan on also doing reviews of movies that either was freaking hilarious or just plain stupid.  So enjoy and feel free to leave comments, we are not censoring ourselves too much but please no rude and crude comments, we are all here just having fun! Here is a tidbit about Jen, as you can see she is a great writer and my best friend. She will probably make more sense then I will in the posts but that is why we balance each other out so well.

Hi, I'm Jen.

I just turned 25 so I'm going through my quarter-life crisis. I love to laugh and to make people laugh. After all it is the best medicine. Music and photography are my biggest passions in life and I hope to one day be a Professional photographer. I'm also a movie addict. You could literally watch a movie a day for a year and a half and still wouldn't go through all of my collection.

Last but not least, I wanna say how important the person I will be blogging with is. Kat is my best friend! I'm so glad that we have been blessed with the time to grow closer! We are two Twisted Sisters for sure and I wouldn't and couldn't imagine going through all the crazy things life has thrown at us with anyone else! 

                                                     Kat & Jen

                          (you would never guess we were sisters)

We thank you for coming by and hope you enjoy our ranting’s!

Kat & Furball

2012 is great so far!

2012 is Great so far.... 

I got my G.E.D. in the mail and I passed! So excited because it's been a looong time coming! I don't know what I was so afraid of but after I took the test I felt great about it. When I went that first day I remember being so scared because I didn't know what to expect. When I got there, there was so many different types of people. Old and young, which made me feel better because I was not the oldest one there. It feels like such a relief but I know that it's just the beginning. Can't wait to see what the rest of this year has to come! 

Bring It On 2012!!
