I am just laying in my bed after a kind of stressful morning trying to nap, but I find my head just spinning ( Read more... )

My shelter is located on 20 archers of property right across the street from a wildlife refuge. There is a bike path that cuts through the wildlife refuge that people frequently use to walk dogs ( Read more... )

So there's this girl. My twitter followers will know her as The Parrot. I'm pretty sure I've wrote about here before.

( The ugly backstory... )

Tomorrow I start my new job. I'm really excited! It's at the Greenhill Humane Society here in Eugene. I am the Volunteer and Foster Care assistant. It's a decent sized organization. Big enough to know there is room for movement but small enough for everyone to get to know each other. The pay isn't awesome, but I accepted that when I decided to ( Read more... )

Lexi got a chocolate bunny in her Easter Basket. It's got little blue and yellow candy eyes and is about the size of a beanie baby. We don't give her a lot of candy or animal shaped cookies, so she's not familiar with the idea of edibles shaped like animals. She thinks the chocolate bunny is a toy ( Read more... )

Making soap is kind of like baking a cake, except if you mix it wrong it's caustic. I have yet to make a batch incorrectly, and I've made about a hundred bars. It keeps me ( Read more... )

I've decided to make a lot of positive changes in my life lately. I'm trying to write it down more, too. I realized that I stopped writing because I stopped bitching about negative things. Drama. Self doubt. Unhappiness. I need to spend more time writing about things when they are good. Otherwise, I seem to gloss over the positive aspects of ( Read more... )

I'm hungry a lot more now that I'm dieting than I was when I didn't care so much. I think it's because I've got my metabolism up and I need more fuel to burn. I wake up hungry and have to eat something right away- which never used to happen. I'm watching my intake a lot. It's not as restrictive as I thought it would be. I really just have to ( Read more... )
