You’ll have $30 to donate to a teacher’s request for supplies, etc in all sorts of schools. You can search for local schools, particular types of projects (art, math, environmental), most needy and lowest income schools, etc”

I liked it so much that I had to use her words.  =)

So if you want to help out some kids, god knows this Administration doesn’t give a shit that the schools are underfunded…….buy some supplies……….even $20-30 is a big help.

Well today was ok on productivity.  I got some accounting done and prep work done for Monday’s project.  Took care of some Rude messages on the board and all the emails I had waiting for me.

I know I did quite a bit of work for Rude, but my mind just went blank………icks

Anyway, I attacked my private messages and emails.  Don’t forget if you have emailed me since June to the end of August, those emails are long gone.  So that is why I haven’t responded.

Let me tell you what we’ve been doing this week.  We spent Monday working when we got our laptops delivered.   So we worked on getting them set up……while, of course once we got more the 3 pcs online all the others got knocked off……ggrrr  Very frustrating.  So it was time to call Comcast……yuck

Since Comcast wasn’t coming over until the next day we went to a park not too far from here.  It was beautiful.  All the greenery and it had a river running through it.  Unfortunately my pictures don’t do it justice.  We did get to see a doe from the road as she was forging.  You could tell that she was use to be people.  She looked right at us several times and just went back to eating, Torn was able to get very close to her for pictures.

So Tuesday, we had Comcast here…….we are getting so tired of waiting on people.  Either way they finally got it where we can have the 5 pcs going like we need.  So Torn got all the laptops set up and we went live!

We started out with 11 cams total……..KatVixen House 1 has 3 bedrooms/1shower……….KatVixen House 2 has all 4 in the office………..KatVixen House 3 was suppose to have 3 for the living room & kitchen, but one of our cams went bad.  We are going to see how it goes before deciding on getting anymore.    So the true voyeurs are back!  =)

Later that evening we went to our friend’s Lincoln place for his small weekly gathering.  It is just where folks show up, bbq & chill out.  He and his friends had built a half-pike in the basement.  So he and his friends were skate boarding.  Other then what you see in the media, I haven’t seen skate boarding like that in years.  So that was cool.  I even had a skateboard fly past me as someone wiped out…..lol

Wednesday, we went to look at couches, something we really needed for our living room.  We got very lucky and found one at the 1st place we stopped.  I was so dreading the possibility of needing to go from store, to store to find something that we like and not finding a thing.  We got a cream colored leather couch.  We really wanted to get a recliner or something of the sort to match, for once.  Unfortunately, there was no other pieces that was with it.  So we are going to find something in black leather, we just don’t know exactly what.  At least it will be in leather.  =)

We went to a few other places to just see what they have.  Even stopped by a mattress place……..we are needing one.  But it was so strange, we haven’t gotten a new one in so long that we don’t even know how a good mattress is suppose to feel.  All I know is I want my lower back to stop hurting from a night’s sleep.  But it going to take time to find one that we want.

We then headed into the city to meet up with folks for lunch.  We had met them through our friend Lincoln and just wanted to get to know each other better since we are all in the same business.  We are in 2 different aspects of the business but it was it is just nice to talk to people that you don’t have to pretend with when it comes to that.  So we made some new friends.  =)

Thursday, I had some work errands I needed to do.  Torn wasn’t able to come with me, since we were having the couch delivered that afternoon.  Once we got it, we got the living room set up, Torn brought down the TV from the bedroom.  The one for the living room won’t get here until Tuesday.  And we want to be able to watch the Purdue game while on the couch……..grin

It was so nice to get out of the office.  We brought our laptops downstairs and enjoyed it.  Even had some naughty fun for those who got a peek…………grin

I already described my day today.  I know I got a lot of done, just for the life of me don’t remember what……….lol  That is so sad.

Well, I need to balance the checkbooks……….the never ending battle.

Current Mood: Working

The next day (8/31) was another day that we got going early then planned, because the drive to the next campground, took about 2hrs longer then we thought.  That was for the Sequoia National Park.  We didn’t realize that we would be climbing mountains.  We are currently at 7,320ft elevation.

I love the mountains, the cliffs, the scenery, but doing it in a class A RV that takes up a lane fully, is scary as hell to me.  I couldn’t look down. I just keep looking straight ahead. Pass other big trucks…….icks. If we were doing it in a car, it would’ve been less heart stopping, let me tell you.  I don’t know how Torn did it, but he doing better then I am.

We are currently chilling out, enjoying the fire. It may get hot during the day, but it does get chilly at night.  Which I’m enjoying.  =)  There are lots of warnings about bears and food.  Hopefully the picture I took of the food storage comes out so you can see it.  But we have yet to see a black bear.

Well, my pc battery is about to die and we only have 45min left a being allowed to run the generator.  So I’ll try to write more tomorrow.

*** Sunday 2nd September @ 08:35

We are out of the Sequoia National Park, it took over an hour to get out due to the curves and cliffs. It can be quiet dangerous if you aren’t careful.  It is a pretty morning.  Reggie even came out and laid on my lap for a while.  He is not normally a lap cat for me, it is usually with Torn.

I’ve been enjoying myself, but there have been some frustrations.  A lot of things that we had arranged fell threw. =(  So that is the business area of annoyance.  But the biggest frustration, personally, has been my feet.  Torn is like it is ok and it will take time.  But after walking around Vegas, my feet were so swollen and hurt so bad.  At the Sequoia park we had to shuttle straight to the General Sherman Sequoia instead of doing a half mile trail……..which is the thing that I love.  I know it is not my fault, but I feel horrible that I’m not able to help out as fully as I use to……..like getting fire wood….ggrrrr  I hope I’m better in the next month, because I don’t want to be sitting on my ass all the time due to my feet.

***I already posted a ton of pictures from Sequoia…….lol  I thought I would give you a break.

Torn posted this to our members earlier this evening:

After all this time we have 11 cams up and running LIVE!

We still not sure if we ever had a 12th cam or if we lost it, but I think we will stick with 11 cams for now since this was a huge pain in the ass to set up and our upload speed isn’t as fast as I had hoped. Right now we have 4 office cams, 3 bedroom cams, 1 shower cam, and 3 living room/Kitchen cams (As soon as we get some more cables, we will move the cams to get better views). The living room cams are not currently set in their permanent location yet since we still do not have a couch or chair or even TV down there, but we are going out this week to get some new furniture and we just ordered a new TV so within a week or two at most we will have the downstairs set up and we will be spending more time downstairs.

We plan to have more and more people over and more importantly we will be having more people who love to show off, people like Trixie and Delia who just told us they are planning a trip down here soon, so who knows what you will see, but I know you will see Toni and her Boobs and whatever else there is so that is a good thing.

We now have 3 Rude House’s, Rude is working on a way to combine all house under one profile, but until then you can find us under these three Rude houses:

Toni KatVixen – Bedroom and Shower
KatVixen – Living room and Kitchen
Torn Rose – Office

There still may be a glitch or two with this setup, but for now everything seems to be working perfectly, so ENJOY!

Current Mood: Working

Wednesday (8/29) we left early then planned for Malibu, which was a good thing. Because that took much longer then we thought. We went through some more winding, cliff dropping roads. I swear, my heart has gotten a hell of a work out this last 2 weeks…icks. Those roads were just out of Vegas, not to mention of the Malibu Mountains we had to go over to get to the beach RV park we had booked.

We got a great view of the beach and ocean there. We got cliff side. There we had better connection, so I was able to get the cams going again.

Torn had booked us a red mustang convertible for those 2 nights…..it was a great thing. Because later that night, once most of the traffic died down we went cruising down CA 1, with the top down…..stopping at a beach to get some sunset pictures. We hadn’t driven a sports car in so long……

For part of the cruise, Torn had his hand down my pants, playing with my pussy, the wind going through our hair. It got me so turned on, that I put the seat back as far it would go and with it being dark out, no one could really see me that I pulled my tits out to torture him. I even sucked on him a little bit while he was driving………..grin Very, very hot…..with all the noise of the vehicles and the wind, I was able to cum as loud as I wanted….grin

The next day, we took the car out to some of the hills to get some topless and pussy shots. That was fun, but damn it was hot……nearly everyday on this trip has been hot as hell…..and by the time we hit Malibu we were expecting 70s/80s…..not 100s.

One of good friends Wankus came over. He used to do internet porn radio and started about the same time as we did. Right now he is working on a mainstream show and doing some things for xpeeps.com So he did an interview of me for xpeeps.com That was fun.

Afterwards we went out The Chart, a mainly seafood place that had some steak and chicken. We had a excellent meal there. Unfortunately, it was time to say good by to Wankus. =(

Torn and I chilled out and let dinner settle and then we took the mustang for one last cruise. The evenings really chilled out, so we left the top up for this one. Stopped on one of the turn off that they have to sit on a rock and look at the stars. You don’t get to see all the stars very often due to light pollution, but this night we did. It was great.

Here are some of the pictures : http://tornrose.com/Odds_n_Ends/malibublog/index.htm

I was pretty productive today. It was nice to feel that I got something done.  Of course, I get moments of restlessness.  The site has slowed down and it not cooperating, so I going to stop that part of the night.

Then I tried to get some personal things done……….damn sites aren’t cooperating, so now I have to spend more time on the phone.  So annoying.  My phone call list is big enough as it is and we have a few errands to do.

Thanks DocHolly for your comments.  Those make perfect sense.  I will have to make up my lists and goals and go from there.   =) Keep your fingers crossed for me.

My Purdue won yesterday and we were able to watch it!  Our Colts won today and we weren’t able to see it.  =(  Torn was able to do the live action thing on NFL.com but I wasn’t able to.  I downloaded the flash program but I got nothing.  It has to be in my windows security settings.  I haven’t messed with them since I reformatted my laptop.  I haven’t done anything with them in so long, I have to figure out where to start…..so strange.

I’m going to take a bath and chill out.  It is so nice to have a decent bath tub again.  =)

Current Mood: Hidding from the World

I think I only have about 2-3 blog posts to put up about the trip. I hope you’ve been enjoying the sample of pictures that I’ve been putting up. Those have been only a small example of the pictures we have. We took about 7000 of them………lol

I worked on my passport application and saw that they need my birth cert…….well, I’m not giving up my one and only certified copy when one of the counties in Indiana lost my original………it happened about 16 yrs ago, but it still pisses me off to no end…..gggrrr So I went online to see what I need to do to get a copy of Torn’s and mine. His is a lot easier then mine. I was able to order it online, but mine I have to use snail mail! WFT?!?! Is this not 2007?!? So I’m not too pleased.

I don’t know backed up the passport apps are. So that is another reason for not giving up our birth certificates to apply, we won’t be able to head to Canada and get back without them. =(

Today was my great-aunt’s service. I talked to my sister, I guess there were a lot of folks who turned up. My other great-aunt was crying a lot. That was the sister she was closest to. Mom said the flowers we ordered were huge. But then I ordered from the local florist who my family has dealt with for almost 20yrs and she takes care of the local families very well, knew exactly whose services and her age.

The strange thing was that my aunt’s services wasn’t at the funeral home where all my family on that side have been taken care of. I guess the owner got very sick and didn’t have anyone to take over. So it has fallen in quality big time. Rumor is that it may be up for sale….. I don’t know, if her services had been able to be there, at least I’d be able to imagine the services better. So it is sad that the place that has taken care of all members of my family won’t be anymore.

My aunt will be cremated and then have her ashes buried on top of her mother’s grave. My grandpa’s ashes on with his dad’s and my grandma is with her sister-in-laws. The last remaining great aunt will be with her husband’s. So at least I know where to go to pay my respects when I head back there. That is where most of that part of my family is buried.

This is tough…..working from home, way too many distractions. I’m one who needs structure, a work schedule…….. I need to be able to focus.

If I’m going to work from home, I need 2-3 days of left alone work……and that is for just Rude. Then I need at least 2-3 days of left alone work for KatVixen. I can’t get anything done if I keep getting pulled away from my goals. Then doing my normal hour or two a day for support and follow up. I’m really thinking of creating a planned calendar/schedule but I don’t know if I’ll be able to stick with.

Everyday I had a plan, it got pushed aside. Just because I’m working from the house, doesn’t mean that I don’t take my jobs any less then if I was working out of the house. Hell, if I did that I wouldn’t get anywhere.

I will say doing errands here is no different then Florida, they take forever. So that hasn’t helped with my time management. I think I’m going to have to put one day of the week just for errands. But that is a bitch, because you want to get them done before that brats are released from their confines……..lol………and sometimes you have more errands then that amount of time.

It is very nice not to really go anywhere this weekend. It has been months since we were able to do that.

Alright, site news……..

I’ve been trying to have at least one cam up off of my laptop. Honestly, I hate having it off of my laptop because I have enough damn wires plugged into it. =) We’ve been having issues with continously being knocked off line. It was pissing us off, big time. Well, Torn got on the phone with comcast and demanded a solution. The guy there wanted us to reset the router and restart our pcs everytime!! It would go off 3 times in 5min, so that wasn’t happening! So after Torn gave him an earful, we were able to get a guy out today. It was the splitter and the router was an older one that we should’ve never received. So the tech replaced and and so far, we haven’t been having the issues.

Good news, our laptops have been shipped! Fingers crossed that we get them by Wed. Hopefully have them going shortly afterwards, we have to see how we are going to set up in house and I have to get the other rude page up and going so we can broadcast the 3rd set of cams. So just a little more longer. =)

***Warning even more pics then I’ve previously posted. Sorry for your friends’ pages in LJ…..icks
But we thoroughly enjoyed Zion and then it was on to Vegas. We stayed at the KOA campground right behind Circus, Circus. It was actually a lot nicer then expected, but no grass…..that is about right for Vegas.

1st night in Vegas I went to get my nails done at a place that DocHolly suggested…so there is a picture of my toes….lol

And then we went to this Italian restaurant in a shopping center, called Hole In The Wall…….I believe. Great food……all the house wine you can drink, I was feeling very nice….lol I just wish the salad and bread wasn’t so good…..I would’ve ate more of my chicken parm that was great. It was another great suggestion by DocHolly.

The next day, we had lunch with DocHolly at the Peppermill…….dang, those portions were huge. We ordered dessert…..Torn, a strawberry shortcake and me a hot fudge brownie sundae….neither of which we would’ve been able to finish on an empty stomach much less just eaten. It was good.

That night, Torn and I meet thatjen and her boyfriend for drinks. It was a very nice visit and we would love to be able to do it again and longer. I thought we had a picture, but I couldn’t find it.  They were so nice and dropped us off in front of the Bellagio afterwards.

During all our trips to Vegas we had never seen the light/water show. When we 1st got there in was in the middle of “1st Kiss?” by Faith Hill?…..that wasn’t very good. When you come to see the light/water show pop music, especially that one, does not fit. But they do shows every 15 minutes and the next one was a duet Italian opera…..it was great! That was so fitting. We can’t come to Vegas again without seeing that.

Then we decided to do the tourist, another 1st for us. We are usually here on business so we barely get out of the hotel & convention centers to see the sights. So we tried to walk a very small part of the strip. I will say, I now know what Toni Braxton has been………lol…..I use to love her stuff and seen her open for Kenny G years ago.

We then headed over to old Vegas, since I barely had any life left in my feet….ggrrr, and wanted to see the light show there. It is called Freemont Street, I believe. It had some of the old gaudy signs from the 60s/70s. So that was cool. The only thing I didn’t care for is that the light show was only at the top of the hour……….so we had to wait like 40 min. I expected at least every 30min., but it was a cool show to see.

Later that night we realized that we never had supper………but we were so full from lunch that it didn’t make much of dent on us. =)

The last day, we had lunch the guys of TheBestPorn.com Another great meal with great people.

Later that evening DocHolly took us to a great Mexican place. Other then Portland last fall, we haven’t had good, much less great Mexican food since Indiana……I know, so sad. But dang it was excellent. Another too much food and barely ate it all….I even had 2 pina colas, I usually only have 1.

Then DocHolly took us out to some strip clubs. Unfortunately their busy season doesn’t hit for a couple more weeks and with it being Tuesday, they were slow. But one we went to had really great people working there with excellent service and a girl that had great personality and was fun to talk to. But I’m saving all my other write up on that another time. =)

For the end of Tuesday night, we just had a really fun time and it was thanks to DocHolly. Thanks hon!

I was very surprise that I couldn’t keep rude cams going while in Vegas….you would think with being a city it wouldn’t have been so bad…..but it didn’t work out that way.  =(

***I put the pictures I wanted to post here in a gallery, there was just way too many of them.

Current Mood: Crappy

Well, I was going to do a post on Vegas, but it is taking forever to upload the pictures. Plus I think I better make a small gallery of them instead…….I have way, way too many that I want to post……..and that is not even all of them.

Alright, I’ve been kind of avoiding this. But I got a call from my mom and my uncle yesterday morning. My great-aunt passed away. =( She was my grandfather’s oldest sister and was in her mid 90s. She had never married since her fiancee got killed in the War. So she spent her time taking care of family and her mother, until she died in her 90s. Later, she would come down to my folks to visit with my grandma.

I’m not going to go to the funeral…….I’m so burnt out on traveling and really just not able to go. I just moved and I know my family understands, but I feel like shit about not going. In my family you are just there when things like this happens and I’m one that really believes in that. Plus even though, I never had the connection with her as I did with my other great-aunt, I have fond childhood memories of her making us blueberry crepes (stuffed with blueberries instead of cheese) after church. I loved those crepes and I was just talking about them this past Sunday. I did make sure to see her when I was in Indiana this past April. I feel bad that I didn’t visit longer, but she wasn’t really with it so I couldn’t even ask about family and wasn’t sure what else to say.

So that is what I’m dealing with. In the meantime, I’m trying to get things done, but haven’t really done very well. Every day we have errands, I can’t seem to get anything else done…..grrr Also, I have noticed since I’m so use to working outside of the house that when I’m home I have a hard time making sure I do some physical labor. When I had days off from work, I just tried to chillout……well, that doesn’t work when you are not getting the physical labor that you use to.

I did do a workout this morning. The longest I’ve done since my foot operation. So I’m very pleased by that. I’m up to 15min straight, I want to get up to 30mins then work on resistance. It felt good.

I need to do some bike riding around the neighborhood, but right now, I’m a wuss because it is all hilly and I have no stamina. =( That is so sad.

Current Mood: Working & Beautiful Day

**Alright, I’ve tried posting this 3 other times last night, I would forget something and go back and edit it……….well it would fuck up my sidebars on my blog. =(

I also tried putting it behind a LJ cut, but since it cross posting from my wordpress blog it won’t work and it again screwed up my blog……..gggrrrr Very, very frustrating.

So I’m sorry,if I’ve messed up anyone’s friends pages in LJ as I posted and deleted all last night.

So here goes the 4th try………

*** Saturday 1st Sept 16:23

We had to leave camp to get to the shuttle that took us to the General Sherman Sequoia tree.  It is the 1st year for the shuttle here so a lot of cars were still driving to the viewing.  Even though we HATE depending on others for rides and getting around, I believe that they should limit the amount of cars to get into those parts and require shuttles.  Way too much pollution and wear on the roads….anyhow enough of that soap box.

More of our campsite.

It was really cool to see the most massive tree in the world.  We tried to take pictures, but you really don’t get a sense of the size until you are there.  The General Sherman is estimated to be 2,200 yrs old!  If you never seen it, you have got to come here.

I even got recognized!  That totally threw me for a loop.  I’m use to denying it since it usually in the area that I work my main stream job.  So I confirmed it, but I could’ve been less awkward about it.  =(  I looked to see if he had a camera with him, to ask if he wanted a picture but I didn’t think to ask if he wanted a picture with me with our camera and have him email me for it……….doh!  Not my best moment, but I’ll get better.  So Joe, if you are reading this, sorry about not thinking and thanks for saying hi.  =)

Just some pictures of the scenery as we were driving and making stops.

After the Grand Canyon we stayed at Lake Powell.  When Torn booked this, it was Lake Powell RV & Marina……..we had no clue that it was a National Park and a stunning one at that.  If we would’ve known we would’ve booked 2 nights.  We had a beautiful view of the man made lake with the huge colorful cliffs around it, beautiful clear sky with the moon….another place to come back to……….the list keeps getting bigger……………grin

Then the next day it was on to Zion National Park.  Wow, wow, & wow…..the colors, the cliffs……damn.  It was great!  You have to drive on some long and winding roads, with huge cliff drops.  There is a tunnel through the cliffs that was made in 1929, so RVs can’t fit with incoming traffic.  The tunnel is about 1 mile long and they stop traffic coming from the other end, so you can drive down the middle of the tunnel. To do this, you have to pay an extra fee to take care of the man power involved…..but so well worth it.  They have caved out windows in the tunnel so you can see the heart dropping cliffs……even if you can’t stop.

Where we camped, we were totally surrounded by the canyon walls….giving you a stunning view.  Our running joke through the last couple of places was “this view sucks, it is so not worth it”……well, for the natural awe inspiring wonders you got to see…….totally worth it.  Plus with it being national parks, it is so less expensive then you would expect and its worth.  Our national park system is great for making sure that everybody is able to afford these great wonders of ours.

During 90% of our trip, we got a hell lot less connection then we thought we would.  That was a disappointment.  The work was piling up, so while at Zion there as a little town across the river with a café with internet.  So we spent about 3 hrs there just getting things caught up.  The sad about working online, is you about have to do it everyday.  =(
