May Play
I am currently reading Nothing to Envy: Ordinary lives in North Korea by Barbara Demick. I am reading it for my sister's book club. It is very interesting, and I was actually wondering about the details of the North Korean war just the other day-- ahh providence. Honestly though, at the resolution of WWII we Americans did some crazy stuff and left ( Read more... ) -
R.I.P. Ridley 2/22/2012 - 4/25/2012
Sad news. Yesterday I got off my graveyard shift to find that my bird, Ridley, had died. Paul said that when he woke up she was on her back in her cage. She was only 2 months old. She was acting fine the night before, playful even, so we have no idea what may have happened to her. When we adopted her, we didn't get a full veterinary analysis so ( Read more... ) -

Currently at work. This next week I have some crazy shifts. It is the week before finals, and the library has decided to stay open 24-hours, and so those weird 2am-7am shifts need to be covered, and guess who needs the money?! That's right, me. I'm not desperate for the money, but I do wish to be a bit flippant with my money in the upcoming weeks. ( Read more... ) -
Ridley
My mind can only think of Ridley, "Ridley, Ridley, Ridley, Ridley". I think everyone in the house has benefited from Ridley living in our home. The hamsters come out more often now (maybe easier to perceive the night with the quit of bird talk?) and they all run straight to the door of the cage when we call them. They've all been so much more ( Read more... ) -
Bird update
Things with Ridley has been going really well. When we first brought her home, she acted excited/happy. The next day you could tell she was scared and unsure of us, we gave her time to adjust because the change would be undoubtedly stressing. She took a bit longer to get use to us than I anticipated, but I didn't really know anything. I was anxious ( Read more... ) -

I was late for work today. I'm not exactly sure what I was thinking, but I didn't think I needed to go in until 3pm (my Friday schedule), when really I needed to come in at 1pm. Yeesh, bad move on my part. Good thing I have a cool job, and a super cool coworker who covered for me. Super embarrassing though ( Read more... ) -
Names
My little baby bird was too young to come home when I met her, but soon the month will be over and my little girl will be flying, perching, and all around being adorable at home. I decided to name her Ridley. I got the name from a character in Beautiful Creatures (by K. Garcia & M. Stohl).
At first I was looking up "yellow" and yellow like names, ( Read more... ) -

On Sunday I am adopting a baby bird. My coworker has a pair of nesting lovebirds and they recently hatched six eggs. I've been avidly following their progress over my coworker's facebook being completely indecisive until I finally decided that, yes I do want a bird. The bird I have my eye on is a Lutino Rosy-faced lovebird and she is super adorable ( Read more... ) -
Tax season
I guess tax season would suck if I had to pay the government money, but as it is right now, getting money back from the government owns.
