I didn't mean to be away for so long, but work/life/stuff seems to get in the way of me writing these days. I miss it. Right now we're in the middle of helping Janet and Dave out with their move. We've got two very grumpy cats in the upstairs bathroom for a week. They have to share with Taylor, who seems hardly fazed at all by the company. I'm ( Read more... )

I need this weekend. I'm tired. I can't seem to get untired. I've been sleeping a lot and doing very little. I know part of the problem is that I'm too damned lazy to get up and go for a walk. The other half is plain old stress. Yes, life has been a bit stressful ( Read more... )

We're about to attempt to make a baby. Terrified much? Yes ( Read more... )

...Alyssa's birthday! We have some fun plans in mind--after going to the dump, that is. We're going out to breakfast (late) and then heading over to Mayhem where Alyssa's getting a new tattoo. Then we're heading to her parents' house for dinner and home for some together time ( Read more... )

Right now we're watching Roo, the chinchilla, sitting in her ball as confused as I've ever seen her. She just had a dust bath and was looking very happy, so we introduced her to her new ball. My sister, Janet, had chinchillas and I know at least one of them loved being in her ball. Roo is not sure what's going on and is sitting next to the fish ( Read more... )

I know it's late. These days bedtime is between 9 and 9:30 but I took a nap and now I can't think of sleeping. I'm also nervous about work tomorrow because it's my first day as a mutal fund trader on the floor. We have a lab setting so we all sit together with floor walkers (senior traders who can answer our questions) but even so, I'm really ( Read more... )

Work has been stressing me out a little lately, because I'm finally training to become a mutual fund trading. Now I have the power to really screw accounts up. Seriously, though, there's a lot of responsibility with this position and I'm nervous about messing things up. I do still love my job ( Read more... )

Indigo is fussy today and has been since we got up. I'm not sure what her issue is, but it's my day off and I don't want to hear her constant whining. She has pottied, eaten, napped, etc., and she's still fussing. I patted her, cuddled her, fussed over her, massaged her, you name it. What a weird dog. Noelle's barking at every leaf she sees out the ( Read more... )

I've been counting down the days until this fine day arrived because it was once again time for the twice-yearly reptile expo in Manchvegas. We live all of fifteen/twenty minutes down 101, so of course we went. We had a blast last year and got our first chameleon who was just a tiny baby and grew and mostly thrived (except for a scary night when ( Read more... )

I passed the 63! Now I'm completely done with testing!
