I can fit my friendly old thumb...

Ugh, that song! One of my friends on Facebook shared this really messed up animated song that rhymes in all the worst ways. I'm not sure how old or new the song is, but it's nuts. The sad part... I kind of like it. Just look it up -- the title of this blog is part of the song.

Okay, now time for some of the most exciting news ever... OUR CAGES CAME TODAY! Holy crap, they're amazing! We're now the proud owners of 8 brand new Double Critter Nation cages! I can't wait to get the glider room finished and all of our gorgeous new cages put together.

Gods they're heavy, though. The UPS driver asked where I wanted them. I told him the garage, so he backed the truck up to it and lowered them down, that was it. LaVaughn and I moved them all the way from the front of the garage to the very back of the room that's attached to the garage. My arms are killing me!

Before all of this, I finished up the sets that I started Monday. Well, LaVaughn helped me some. I'm like officially out of fleece now, it's kind of sad. I ordered some from Joann's either Friday or Saturday, can't remember. I got 7 new prints and 7 new solids. I just got the shipping notification today saying 12 prints shipped. You know what that means -- two were out of stock. Now I have to go back to Hancock and order more because Fabric.com is too expensive and Joann has a 3 yard minimum. And just my luck, the anti-pill fleece is on sale at Hancock, so naturally I found another print that I wanted, as well as more of the woodland animal fleece that like 4 people want a cage set out of! Ahhh! I'm going to be a busy bee the next couple weeks.

Also -- not that this is even remotely set in motion -- I might have a new job at the local convenience store that's like 3 miles from my house. They need someone on Fridays and Saturdays from 1-8 and possibly on Sundays. I'm going to talk to her tomorrow... Wish me luck!

Well, I guess that's all for now. Time to go watch some Netflix or read my comics...

Love & Peace

Sets that were sewn today. I think they're pretty.

And lastly, all of our gorgeous new cages! And a little snow that we got today.

There's no going back now...

Finally got a chance to take some decent outdoor joey pics today. Nothing super awesome, but they're decent. It was bordering on being chilly and too cold to be outside, plus it was late, so there wasn't much along the lines of "golden" pictures.

Speaking of joeys, I'm worrying myself to death about Charli's new little boy. He's eating well and gaining weight, but he's tiny and has this crud stuck to his head from being IP for so long. And to top it off she's over grooming that spot and taking some of his hair with it. I'm just so close to neutering Tyler, you have no idea.

While I'm on the subject of gliders, I may as well go ahead and say how terrible we are. Milli posted in SGF earlier and said that Petco was having a huge sale on Double Critter Nation cages. They were on sale for $179, but there was a glitch in Petco's system that allowed a 20% off coupon and a 25% off coupon, making the cages a little over $112 EACH!! Since we've been blessed in finding our joeys homes and I've been selling cages sets, we decided to get EVERYONE a new cage! Even the rats! We had nearly a $600 savings on all of the cages thanks to the coupon glitch. It was insane!

Apparently everyone in the rat and chinchilla groups were taking advantage of this too, because Petco went out of stock within hours and their system was down for a while. I'm so happy we were able to take advantage. I'll breath easy when they're actually here and in our grasp.

I suppose that's all for now, just wanted to update everyone on the happenings, albeit boring happenings. Until next time...

Love & Peace

Keeping busy with JustFab...

We didn't have too many pouches to finish cutting, so I decided to do that today among the cage sets that I was cutting out. No telling how long these pouches will sit here before they're sewn. Sigh... We need new pouches BADLY, like really badly.

In other, non-glider related cage set news... We finished the boys stuff today and completely decked out their cage. It looks AWESOME! I know it's only a matter of time before they completely destroy it, but as of now, it's gorgeous and I'm proud.

As of right now we're wrapping all of LaVaughn's shoes that she got for Xmas. Long story short, mi madre gives us money to buy Xmas gifts with and we then have to buy things for ourselves from her. It's been like this for years -- she has no idea what we're into or what we already have, so it makes sense. Of course, LaVaughn wanted shows, well boots, actually. I'm not sure what I'm getting. Considering a 35mm 1.8g, but I don't know.

Well I guess that's all for now. I suppose I should get back to wrapping. Until next time...

Love & Peace
