I'm hot blooded, check it and see...

I know it's not summer yet, but man is it hot! It actually made it up to 70 degrees today! I went to bed with the heat on -- cause is was super cold all night -- and woke up in a sauna! It didn't help that my throat was sore the entire time either. As soon as I woke up, I tuned the heat off and went outside for a while. I don't know what I'm going to do this summer. I don't think I'm going to make it!

I tried taking pictures of random things, but everything is still dead due to the extended winter. This time last year it was green and hot! Weird seasons, I'm telling you. I did managed to get a couple decent pictures before the stupid camera batteries died. I have to charge them almost on a daily basis now.

The batteries I ordered months ago are being held my customs in some type of sorting facility. I contacted the dudes in China about it, they just asked if I could hold off for another week and see if they arrive. Well, a week came and went, so I contacted them again asking if they'll just refund the money. He said it should be credited on Paypal in a few days. We shall see! At the moment, we're out the money AND the batteries!

My throat feels a little better today (knock wood), but it was really super annoying last night! I kept alternating hot broth and ice. Seemed to help at the time, but afterwords it sucked! When I wasn't drinking broth or sucking on ice, I was gargling with salt water and spraying with throat spray. In between all of that, I was drinking whiskey.

A little after midnight, LaVaughn and I decided to watch The Cabin In The Woods. Around the this time, I was drinking a LOT of whiskey to help ease the pain and burning  It seemed to be the only thing that was working. I didn't even realize how much I was drinking until I decided to get up and walk around. I was buzzed! I seriously couldn't believe I drank that much. After that, I decided to just take a drink once or twice an hour. Yeah, fun!

It seems the longer I'm awake, the more it hurts. Lets just hope it doesn't act up again tonight!

LaVaughn and I finally got the rest of Christine's sets cut out today. It took us forever for some reason. We're getting them all sewn up tomorrow and shipped out Monday! I hate that it's taken so long, but SO much has come up this past week!

We also have to cut another set out tomorrow. Someone is wanting a 6 piece set out of the beautiful new fleece that we got. I swear, I think we're keeping the rest, lol. It's just SO pretty!

If it's not too late when we get through sewing tomorrow, we're going to let the ducklings play in the bath again. We don't want to do it too late, cause we don't want them to get chilled. Hopefully we sew a lot faster than we cut!

I wasn't going to bring this up today, but Shannon messaged me a while ago and said that she thinks her creme trio has actual creme-inos IP! I thought I was going to die! I so hope that she has a creme girl for us. I want one oh so badly. Shannon is just the best, I love her so much! She's like seriously my only hope of ever having a creme glider!

Oh yeah, we got our Walmart.com order today (mainly cat food, dog food, lotion, and Metamucil) and were surprised to find two free gifts inside! This is something Walmart.com has never done before! And they weren't crappy samples, they were good ones! We got a small sample of Clear conditioner -- which was given to my aunt -- and a decent size container of Simple Vital Vitamin Day Cream. It really awesome, because that's the brand we use! I think it was like 1.7 ounces, so it's definitely more than a sample size. Just a really nice surprise.

Okay, I think I've rambled enough for now. Time for some grub!

Love & Peace

 Yes, this is a wasp eating honey.

Believe it or not, wasps actually love honey.

I've got to get out of this place...

Our baby chicks aren't so much babies anymore, they're getting huge! They're starting to loose all their baby feathers and develop their adult ones. This has actually been happening for some time now, so I really don't know why I brought it up. Sigh...

We got all the little meeps out last night and let them run around, all the while eating lettuce and noodles. They loved being out of their cage and stretching their legs. We tried to do just two at a time, but that wasn't even remotely working, so we get the entire flock out. It still amazes me how simple chickens can be. Every time one of them would poop, here would come someone else trying to race the others to eat it first. 

I got I believe 3 or 4 different videos, but only uploaded 2 I believe. Those, of course, will be below.

I have some slightly exciting, slightly depressing news... Sadie has another joey IP. I noticed it Thurs. evening when we were feeding treats. It's very, very small so I'm guessing she had it earlier that day or the day before. I told her, "This is your last shot at being a mom." She just looked at me like, "Eh, whatever. Just give me another treat." I'm really hoping she keeps this baby. I don't want to have to get Pip neutered - he and Sadie have such sweet joeys - but if we have to, we will.

I'm still partially recovering the electricity being off. I still remember how creepy everything and how much I wanted to murder someone. The day after the electricity came back on, the lights would flicker every little bit. Like little heart stopping reminders. I think there were still some people that didn't have electricity. All together, there were 6500 people in the dark. 

The day the electricity did come back on, we went to town to stock up on a few things. And considering ice was still everywhere, I knew the drive to town would be beautiful! Well, I was absolutely right about that part and so happy that I decided to bring the camera. I started driving very slow so that LaVaughn could take pictures. Just as she pulled the camera out and started to snap one of what looked to be a winter wonder land, the damn batteries died. The entire time, I'm screaming, "Nooooo, why must the batteries be dead today!? Of all days!" The rest of the drive to town was beautiful, as expected. And no, I didn't get one picture. I'll be so glad when our new batteries get here...

I completely forgot to mention, I have an interview to go to tonight. I have to be there at 8PM, which is really creepy, but whatever. I'm not going into details, because I don't want to jinx myself, so I'll leave the details out until I know more. Wish me luck!

I suppose that's all for now. I need to go shower and prepare my interview speech. Don't forget to check out the photos AND videos below...

 The only picture I got the day after the storm.

 And here's my awesome little candle wax horn thing that I constructed.

The following pictures are of my neighbor's dog, Fletcher. She was out of town, so we decided to let him in for a while so that he could stay warm. 








And now for the picture of the meeps:







So many adorable little chicks!

Now it's VIDEO time!








Cuteness is my weakness...

It's so sad how much I love animals. I've been so amazed by the cuteness of rats lately, I can hardly contain myself. I nabbed some really adorable photos of them a while ago. I've like almost completely stopped taking their picture lately - ever since we stopped doing tent time, anyway - and figured I'd try to start back up again.

The rats are the hardest animals to get pictures of. They're very antsy and wont sit still for more than 3 seconds at a time. It takes the camera 2 1/2 seconds to focus, so what does that leave me with...

Mealie and yoggie time has become a ritual for the gliders anymore. We take a pouch out at a time and divide them. I'm serious when I say that no one in the house can share a mealie. Yoggies are fine, but worms to a glider is like gold to a leprechaun.

I had to order some new rechargeable batteries for the camera a couple days ago. I tried to charge the batteries the other day, but didn't think anything of it when they charged in under an hour. I grabbed them, put them in the camera and went on my way. I was in the living room taking a couple photos and out of no where, the camera went dead! Completely shocked - and slightly heartbroken - I took them out and charged them again. This time I left them in for a couple extra hours.

I'm lost without my camera. I'm not trying to be cute or joking around, I'm seriously lost without my camera. I will be SO happy when the new batteries arrive. Then I can stop worrying!

Okay, this blog is kind of going no where, time to end it with some photos...

Love & Peace
