We got a Goffan cockatoo last night. She's 18 weeks old. She came with the park avenue edition of a bird condo and a play perch. I will be taking pictures of her a little later so check out my photoblog tomorrow for pictures. Her name is Sweet P (subject to change). Took me and the girl I got her from 3 hours to dismantle the cage and it took ( Read more... )

"They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq. Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys. It has worked well for over two hundred years and we're not using it anymore." George Carlin

It doesn't take too much time in my day but it's how things are scheduled that make it difficult. I will have to be at one place say at 830. Then I won't have another place to be at until 1 or so.

All I do know is that they are using helicopters with water baskets to help douse the fire. As soon as I know more, I will post. Jim...I know you have a fire/emergency radio...if ( Read more... )

Well, what can I say besides I am exhausted. I didn't sleep well at all Friday night. I don't know why I couldn't sleep but oh well. I made Chris a gorgeous cake in the middle of the night. I figured that if I couldn't sleep I might as well get up and do something productive. I really didn't feel like unpacking anything more so off to bake- ( Read more... )
