A Rockband Evening

As I mentioned earlier, my husband, I'll call him "Mr. Kermit" until he gets his own blog up and running, is a huge gamer. Knowing this I'm sure brings no surprise that we have games such as Rockband and Guitar Hero in our house.

This evening Mr. Kermit and I were playing Rockband, he was guitar and I was vocals. Usually I'll play guitar or bass also, but I had the urge to sing Alanis Morissette' "You Oughta Know."

We usually have a groupie or two prancing around our feet while we play. And when I say "groupie" I really mean "house cat." We have two cats and one of them in particular, Kittie, loves to come hang around us while we're playing Rockband. Typically Kittie just plops herself down somewhere in the room where she can watch us and sits there for the duration of our playing time. Tonight she decided to take it up a notch and join in the fun. So as I sit on the couch singing my part, Kittie jumps up next to me. I assumed this was her usual antics for a little attention, so I scratch her behind the ears and thinking nothing more of it. Then she jumps on the floor and starts meowing, then up on the ottoman in front of me, and meows some more. Next thing I know, she's up on the sofa arm pushing her face right up into the microphone I'm singing in to!

Thanks to Kittie, I lost a few points because I started laughing at her when I should have been singing. Both of us had a pretty good laugh over her because she kept doing it. There was something about it that had her all excited. I just hope it was because she liked hearing me sing instead of her way of trying to get me to stop.


Welcome to my lily pad!

Hi! My name's Kermit and welcome to my new blog! I've decided to give the blogging world a try since I've enjoyed reading many other blogs. I figure this will be a way to help gather some of my thoughts and share ideas with others interested in some of the same things as me.
I was trying to come up with a topic to continuously blog about, but I realized there are too many things currently in my life that I could and would like to blog about. So basically, anything goes in terms of the blogging topic here!
I figured I'd share a little bit about myself for my first post:
  • I recently got married
  • I'm a homeowner of about a year and a half now, but due to wedding planning, my husband and I have not had much time and resources to put towards decorating and making our home ours
  • I like to bake, and recently took more of an interest in learning to decorating cakes
  • I absolutely love to travel, and want to see much of the world but haven't made it off the continent yet
  • I love to shop, which proves to fun and interesting when traveling as well
  • Photography is always something I've found fun and interesting and is something I'd like to turn into a more frequent hobby
  • I like sports, volleyball and hockey are a couple of my favorites
  • My husband is a huge gamer and has gotten me more into video games since we met
  • Home redecorating/remodeling is a high priority for us, even more so me since I tend to be the one researching our options

More to come on all of these, and more, I'm sure. Thanks for stopping by and visiting!
