 Hi,

I'm a first-time guinea pig owner and just got my first one yesterday. He is sneezing a lot, like every few minutes (at least we think it's a sneeze) and were wondering what could be causing this and how often it's normal. I know an upper respiratory infection could cause it, but maybe certain foods or bedding could as well? 

 We got the townhouse apartment. :) Tomorrow, we figure out our move-in date for certain and get our new address! Great birthday present. 

Change of plans: Emily (if you don't remember who I'm talking about, we saw Amanda Palmer with her) is going to live with us in a two-bedroom apartment for $200/month.

This girl is awesome. I think she must be the original creator of the change purse we saw in Bust. She has made tons of great things and she's so young! Basically my age and so creative.

I think this will be one of those odd, not-quite-right-in-my-skin posts today. Last night, the family and I went to see “Where the Wild Things Are.” It was a weep-fest among the three of us. Some folks on Twitter asked if the movie was too scary for a five-year-old/seven-year-old/fill in with age here. I loved Maurice Sendak’s response. Apparently ( Read more... )

As part of my speech for Public Speaking class, I had to choose a manuscript to read from. It was allowed to be anything, and I wanted to choose something that is really important, so I decided to read from a book by Eve Ensler. It was hard to choose which book, but I finally decided on The Good Body.

This is what I read:
