I AM deep

ON THE OTHER HAND, YOU HAVE DIFFERENT FINGERS.

Just think about it

LIGHT TRAVELS FASTER THAN SOUND, WHICH IS WHY SOME PEOPLE APPEAR BRIGHT UNTIL YOU HEAR THEM SPEAK.

A DAY WITHOUT SUNSHINE IS LIKE, NIGHT.

Bar-codes ARE Evil

You know I've always wondered if bar-codes were evil in anyway. Thank goodness that now I know. Down with bar-codes! Yes this is a real story that a reporter really did go and report on. Isn't news helpful and informative?

MOSCOW (Reuters) - A hundred residents of a Russian village have refused to switch to new passports because they believe the documents' bar codes contain satanic symbols, state television reported Wednesday. "We believe these new passports are sinful," Valentina Yepifanova, an elderly resident of the village Bogolyubovo, told Rossiya television as she clutched an old, tattered passport she said she wanted to keep.

"They have these bar codes and people say they contain three sixes. We are against that."

Some residents of Bogolyubovo, which means "God-loving" in Russian, have also stopped collecting their pensions at the local post office because the payment slips also have bar codes that might contain the mark of the devil, Rossiya TV reported.

Esteban goes home

So in case anyone was wondering. I am pretty much out of pictures of esteban. I have a few of the same or similar things but pretty much that's it. Esteban did go home and was safe and sound in his little corner with out Jen ever noticing his disappearance. When i did return him I did see that he had a new friend. A very different looking gnome. Esteban seemed ok about it because he knows he's still the cool one. Welcome home Esteban.

And HAPPY BIRTHDAY JO! which has nothing to do with esteban

Estebam Goes to the Office

Esteban spent Monday with Kendi at work.

Things got a little out of control.

Later the week Esteban also went out to the AG district offices. And then out to lunch. He really loves Mexican food. It's a little spicy but he can deal for the incredible taste. Oh and you may notice that once again he's getting all the women. PIMP!

Adventures of Esteban IV

After a day off to rest it was nice to get back out there and head off to church. Ah Sunday mornings at Ballston.
What a rockin' band! Esteban was thrilled. He loves praise music. It was so strange to find that Juliet and Stef smile just like Esteban. CHEESE! Also he was thrilled to be held up by Pastor Joel. Good thing Dave was there to hold up Joel. PHEW!
After such a great morning of praising God. Esteban and I were glad to just hang out with friends and grab a little lunch with friends. Esteban was super thirsty. It was really nice that we were able to share a soda. Esteban doesn't drink all that much being that he's only about 10 inches tall.
And man he is always getting the love. All the ladies love him. But we did have to have a little bit of talk because he also loves all the ladies. And that can be a little bit of problem. Women are sensative. He can't just be bouncing all over sharing the love like that. He's a little bit of Hussy. It was still nice to share a little lunch. What a great Sunday.

Adventures of Esteban III

So after such an awesome day Esteban was now really into this whole social scene. He couldn't believe how much he'd been missing for so much of his short life. He really couldn't wait until that night. Where would he be headed next?
Next up would be a great visit to Ebeneezers, a local coffee house, for a volunteers dinner. Actually before ever going there he actually made a stop at his home to see Jen but Jen didn't know he was even there.
So off he went to the coffee house. The show was great.
But the people were even more fun. He was thrilled when he got to chat with the lead pastor. Hi Pastor Mark!

Adventures of Esteban II

The gnome was in fact taken secretly with out knowledge of Jen. So all pictures were taken with aid of others and myself in "secret". Enjoy.

After a little help from his friends, Esteban was off to experience the world. On his first night out he thought he'd take it pretty easy and chill out a bit. He sat around on the couch. And caught a little TV. After a night of chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool Esteban was ready to get there and meet the people. See the sights. Live the life.

His first stop was the gym. He knew he was a little heavy so he was happy to get the opportunity to meet with a personal trainer as well as jump on a scale. Honestly he couldn't remember the last time he'd weighed himself.
After such a work out he thought he better go home and get ready for his night out on the town. After all he had a big night ahead of him...

The Adventures of Esteban

Yes this is the series that I've been hanging over your heads and so it begins.

Once upon a time there was a Gnome named Esteban. At a young age he dreamed of traveling. But being that he had no joints or muscles he found it to be hard to get around. So day in and day out he sat on his shelf at Target. Then one day his whole life was changed. He was brought home to a loving family. The Charron sisters.
Oh how he couldn't wait for his new life to begin with his new family. How great it would be to sit out front guarding their front door. The trip home was absolutely thrilling for him. And as much as he enjoyed his corner he wondered...Is there more?

So for months Esteban thought and wondered what else could be out there. I mean he knew a few things. He wasn't totally in the dark. He knew about dogs...

He knew about Jens...

But there was so much more that he wondered about. But how would it ever be possible. But then he thought about how his life had begun and how he thought he would never have a family. He would never leave his Target shelf but that dream came true. He just had to have faith and ask for help. But who? Who would help a gnome?
That's when he realized he had to get out there. He had to experience something more. And he knew just what to do. He was going to ask the one called friend. Not actually a parent. But someone he knew and knew she came in and out a lot and probably could show him lots. This is what he would do. And finally he would see the world.
