Loni's Life

See Mocha's new sibling   Here's the pretty girl for this last Monday of April 2013...

If the health check is clean and Mocha gets used to the idea, she has a new little brother.. name yet to be determined... his paperwork said "Scott" but he doesn't answer to it and doesn't seem like a "Scott" Here he is trying to escape from the box (not a real carrier) that Petco's adoption girl put him in for travel home.   He is an 8 month old grey tabby.  Note to self: Next time just buy another carrier.

Ok, post tribe merge, we've ousted 3 Faves Corrinne, Philip, and Malcolm and 1 Fan - Michael.   Who would think that Cochran would be doing so well at this point.   He's won 2 individual immunities - one the disgusting food challenge against Malcolm.  The other being a hold a proportion of your weight challenge against Eddie, Reynold, and Malcolm.. he did have an advantage purchased at the Survivor Food Auction - which was incredibly smart of him.     Malcolm purchased a clue to a hidden immunity idol, but then didn't go all out trying to dig it up.   Andrea was smartly glued to him watching him like a hawk... but heck, she should have started digging too.    So without an Idol and the rest of the tribe splitting votes, it went 3-Malcolm, 3-Reynold, 3-Andrea for a re-vote... at which time Malcolm got the boot. So now we are down to Brenda who was surprisingly the one with the emotional breakdowns last night. ...

Happy Birthday to a pair of my favorite people...  I am so blessed to have been adopted into their family.  Mama Cheryl Back row Denali Bus ride 2012 and her son Harrison turns 23 ~ perhaps one of the greatest birthday presents Mama ever received :) HAL ms Statendam - Rumba lessons 2012

New toy from Nana Cheryl...

Ok, after the recent Drop Your Buffs Tribe shake-up which left 2 tribes of 4 Faves and 3 Fans... clearly giving a numbers advantage to the Faves if only they could stick together.     Matt was sent packing, followed by Julia... leaving one tribe of 4 Faves and 1 Fan and the other tribe of 4 Faves, 3 Fans... Did we expect a Merge this soon?    Still a numbers game of 8 Faves and 4 Fans. Survivor - it's all about the numbers... or is it?  Is there some luck or skill along the way at winning challenges or playing a Hidden Immunity Idol at the right time?  Absolutely.    Is it having more than one "alliance"?  Absolutely Is it being able to be at the right place at the right time with the right people?   Absolutely Is it being able to take emotions out of the picture when you have a nutcase of a tribemate/alliance member?  Absolutely Is it making the right move at the right time to keep yourself in...
