Meer Meer Me Meer... MEEER!

Finally...  Something to wear around the apartment...  For those of you who want to know why I am married to Megan; this is your answer.  For those of you who want to know why Megan married me; get in line...



Oh no!  Now she's getting into line...


Short and sweet this week.  Had a three days off of work and now have about six days worth of work to catch up on...  So it goes...  Xmas was good.  Got spoiled rotten.  Plenty of sweaters.  A snowbrush came just in the nick of time.  Played lots of Wii.  Now reading Adam Smith's Weath of Nations.  Hope everyone had a great holiday and see you after new years!  

Geez Louise! Ewoks Must Live Here!

Megan and I went to the Mushroom House for a holiday party thrown by The Children's Agenda.  Stolen pic from wikipedia.  More on the house at:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushroom_House


Another stolen pic.  But, the house is for sale for only $799,900.  Price reduced $300,100 since October.  



What it looked like in the dark when I rolled up after work...



The mosaic fireplace



Now that's a bathroom



The hallway connecting the "pods."  So, if you needed to have something repaired, who would you call; a hobbit?



Tree support






Here's a bedroom.  Now, this house has to come with the furniture because you would never be able to buy furniture for this place because there are no 90 degree angles and the furniture could never fit into another house that isn't a mushroom.



Fountain in the livingroom



Back to the fireplace



This is in the "lounge pod."  This is a giant cherry wood sculpture thing.



The Hobbit entrance.  It was a crazy house.  I left having way more questions than I had going into it.  Questions about plumbing, heating, and other maintenance.  



Thanks to Julie, I have some new paperwork for my projects...



This is Louise.  She looks freaked out because she is freaked out.  You would be too if you sat on a desk that has a nerf missile launcher on it.



Cat playing with the mouse



Cat in the box



I think she's trying to escape by using FedEX



After a long day, it's time to crash on my paperwork.  



That's it until xmas.  So, hope everyone has a good one.

Good Ship Lollypop (NOW WITH A MISSILE LAUNCHER!)

Cats love christmas too!  



We had a big fundraiser last week and Lollypop Farm grossed $37,000!  YEAH!  Sounds like a lot until I found out that the care of the animals from one of our cruelty cases has run up a tab of about $86,000.  It amazes me the things we can do though!



This inkind donation from Perkins.  It is wonderful chauffeuring a platter of browies, cookies, brownies and other goodies that take up my entire backseat in the morning.  



So...  It begins...



Rachel and Erin boxing each other on the Kinect



The best part of watching these two box is they keep getting closer to the TV as if they are going to start boxing the characters on the screen.



Lollypop Farm Holiday Party at the Green Lantern (restaurant; not the superhero) in the village of Fairport.  A good time was had by all and, as this pic shows, lots of hats that move and play music.



Look at what I got at the White Elephant Gift Exchange!  It's a missile launcher for my desk.  It has a full range of motion, has desktop controls for my computer, and another way for me to threaten my volunteers to do more data entry just in time for the giving season!  

The Tale of Mark Klaus

Santa with Spaz the Iguana.  There's something special about having this happen in the office right next to me



This is Petey in the office on the other side of me.  



PETEY!  KEEP BATCHING GIFTS!  WHAT ABOUT THE AUDIT!



Look who got adopted today!  A 3 month old Pug/Jack Russell Terrier 



Tailgating at Conklin's Bar and Grill before the Bills/Titans game this past weekend, which is the best part of the game when they are losing...



Look at all of them empty seats...  Talking about teams that self-destruct, it's nice to see the Detroit Lions are going to personal foul their way out of a wild card playoff spot.  It's a new twist on an old disappointment.


That's all from Rochester.
