Return Of The Messiah

OK, maybe that title gives me a little to much to live up to. But I do feel as if I have been resurrected from the dead. Yes, I guess i should maybe change the title of this blog to "Old Man Gripes About Health Conditions" So it was with a desire to not sound redundant that I haven't been on here for the last week or so. Just when I was coming out of my previous bout of stomach virus and getting into the swing of things that last Saturday I was struck with the familiar twinges of body aches associated with the crawling crud. By Sunday it was quite apparent I'd come down with strep throat. It ran it's full course and I spent the following four days in bed. Thanks to Kaleb and Momma for holding down the shop (and doing a rather good job) and Elijah did his best (with mommas help) to keep the house running. I was back to work on Thursday but still feeling run down so really didn't get back to it until later Friday afternoon. We do have some new goodies though, and are currently trying to figure out how to download the pics!!!! ARRGH!!! I hate new phones! It's always a challenge for a technologically retarded individual such as myself to figure out new doodads!
So while my lovely (and intelligent wife) figures it out I am going to take a moment to discuss a subject I never honestly thought I'd give two sh....ots about.
Anyone following this dysfunctional bit of literature while attest to the fact that I am for all intents a fanboy ,and it is with that fact clearly stated when my wife became consumed with her passion for Stephanie Myers Twilight (first the books, then the movies) i fully supported her fanaticism. But suffice to say my vampires aren't pretty, they ain't "vegetarians" and the don't sparkle! Think Max Schreck's Nosferatu! Now THAT was a vampire! But I have happily watched in fascination her absorption of the entire nether-realm of new "sexy" vampire lore, and simply by loving osmosis found myself mildly sucked in. Not only do the onscreen talents who portray the romantic leads of the film share an on screen connection, they in reality were romantically linked, living together and contemplating a life shared. That was until very recently Kristen Stewart (Bella) was caught on camera in a recent tryst with the director (twice her age) of her latest film "Snow White and the Huntsman". Surprisingly, I discovered the news tidbit prior to Angela and had the misfortune of bringing it to her attention. She took it incredibly well. Even given her love of the character and the actress she offered now excuse or exemption. Wrong is wrong.
Me? I have to wonder what the hell she was thinking!? Her and her beau Rob Pattinson are two of the most sought after paparazzi bait there is next to the Kardashians and she goes off with the director to a parking lot to smooch?!?!?! What the hell was she thinking?!?
These two are, to a VERY large fan base, royalty. They are their characters (a large portion of their fans are the epitome of "fanatical") She is already having to triple her security in response to a plethora of death threats. And this all coming a scant few months before the release of the final movie is due to be released. Mr Pattinson has cut all ties, moved out completely of the home he bought for her and refuses to speak to her. A mess to say the least. It will be very interesting to say the least what will transpire over the next 5 months.
All this because i love a fangirl!
Nothing like this ever happened in Star Trek!
Well Today was the first day I felt whole so we had a good day banging around the house, goofing with the kiddo's and having a nice Bar-b-que. As well as everyone getting a tad bit to much sun!
So I'm looking forward to getting back at it with gusto tomorrow!
Well, I think Angi has figured out how to get the pics to download, so here goes nothing!
