Birthday aftermath...

Last year my birthday was so weird. Not that I'm the type of person that needs to be the center of attention on my birthday -- I'm the last person at wants to be the main focus. My aunt and uncle got baptized on my birthday last year, so I got up super early and went to church that morning to experience it. Then LaVaughn and I drove to PB in a haze, went to the creepiest places possible, ate dinner far too early, rushed home so that LaVaughn could go with my aunt and uncle to communion that night, and then I spent the the next few hours alone.

It was creepy and weird and too much was going on.

This year was completely different. LaVaughn and I met up with my mom (Ty) in Farmington, went shopping together at a couple different places and just spent the evening talking and spending time together. After she left LaVaughn and I did some Chritstmas shopping, ate dinner and then came home and watched Suicide Squad. It's a complete 180 from last year.

Anyways, now that I'm done with my sap story, here are some photos from the today...

Hi, I'm Negan...

Since there was a recent price spike of Negan (POP! Funko version) on eBay, I took it upon myself to purchase one before they went up even further. There's literally nothing under $20 on eBay except one thing, which is nuts! I looked a the PPG and he's only at $15, so I don't understand the sudden increase in price.

I know this isn't necessarily blog worthy, but in a way it is, so I'm sharing. :O) Now, take a look at my badass new POP! addition...

Snagged him from Barnes & Noble for a little over $13 shipped!

Biker Daryl and one amazing view...

So I got my last (old) installment of my Walking Dead POPS!. Now I only need the three expensive non-bloody variants to complete my collection. I believe I've mentioned those already, but for those that don't know and those that may want to get me something for Christmas 🙂, I need HEADLESS Hershel, PONCHO Daryl and ZOMBIE Merle. I also need the rest of the new ones that were released last month, but hopefully I'll be able to get the rest of those soon.

So yeah, he arrived today.

I also have a picture to share with you post-Daryl. It's a picture that I took on the way to Cape last Tuesday. It's noting like breathtakingly gorgeous, just a pretty shot that I got while driving through Sam A. Baker park. It's on my Instagram account, but I wanted it to be here as well. So yeah, I guess that's all.

Biker Daryl!! Isn't he cuuuute??

Love this view of Sam A. Baker park - so gorgeous.

B&W Daryl, only at Walmart!

Completely forgot that I ordered B&W Daryl two weeks ago. He's been sitting under the bar for over a week now. I'm an idiot. But, he is AMAZING!!

Now all I need is Biker Daryl and my inexpensive Walking Dead POP! collection will be complete. After him I'll only need Zombie Merle, Headless Hershel and Poncho Daryl. All of which are $75 and up, so feel free to gift them to me over the holiday season. :D And don't forget, my birthday is on the 20th of December. ;)

Not really, of course. I'm hoping to one day call them my own, but that's going to be far, far in the future. 

Until then, take a look at how awesome B&W Daryl is:

New and improved Shane Walsh...

So, I got my replacement Shane in the mail today from @boxlunchgifts . He was in MUCH better shape this time than the first time. No tears, cuts, rips or anything! The box doesn't even seem dented, which is a huge relief. This time he was wrapped in bubble wrap instead of what looked like construction paper, like the first time. 

Way to go, Boxlunch, way to go!

My beautiful Shane Walsh Funko POP!

Killian Jones BAM! Exclusive

So, I found a Killian Jones BAM! Exclusive on Facebook last week. I paid $17 for him, which was originally supposed to be $16, but whatever, not going into details. He has a minor blemish on his neck area, but it's not severe. I think it's a manufacture issue, not anything the guy did. I was super into OUAT POPS!, but now I'm not so sure. I honestly just want my Walking Dead ones and I'll be happy, but it's whatever.

He's still cute and I'm still happy to have him. Hopefully his PPG goes up now. :)

Shane Walsh NYCC Exclusive

For those of you that don't know what I'm talking about, Shane Walsh was on The Walking Dead, obviously, but Funko POP! released a long awaited Shane POP at this years NYCC. Since I haven't had time to make it to NY, I found my Shane online via Box Lunch. Thank god they had them, because otherwise I would have had to pay $50 on eBay, which wouldn't have happened.

Unfortunately my Shane was damages, so I contacted BL and they're sending me a FREE replacement! Lets just hope this one comes in bubble wrap instead of construction paper.

Mail call and cat food run...

So, lots of packages arrived today -- by lots, I mean 2. The value outweighs the volume, so to me it's a LOT! I've wanted Riot Gear Glenn for as long as I can remember. He's an exclusive, one of the most expensive ones at that. You can really find him for under $28, which is not something I was ready to pay. Well, I found a guy on the POP! Facebook group that parted with his for less than that, shipping included, as well as a POP! protector. He was one of two POPS! that arrived today.

The other was The Governor with the bloody bandage, also an exclusive. The interior of his box was completely smashed, so I contacted the seller earlier to complain. Hopefully I'll get some type of partial refund. If not I'll just send him back.

Now, since the cats hate their prescription diets and refuse anything they should have, we decided to run to Farmington and stop by Petco to stock up on some stuff that's good for them that they haven't tried. I think we got over 16 cans of food for $25, which isn't all that expensive, considering. I just hope and pray they like some of it.

So yeah, that's my day. I don't like going to Farmington, I like it even less when we go for one thing, end up grocery shopping and not getting home until 8 at night. It also doesn't help when you have a 100 pound GSD in the backseat that will not sit still the entire way there.

PX Exclusives Governor!

My absolute favorite, Riot Gear Glenn.

All our new cat food -- with Glenn peeking in the back. :)

When the weather outside is opposite of frightful...

So, the weather today is pure perfection. This is my ideal day; mostly sunny, low 70s, a mild breeze -- it's just perfect. So to take advantage of the perfect day, we say outside for the longest time, soaking up the sun and chatting with family. Nothing special took place, just a merry gathering of sorts.

It's rare that we all get to sit and do nothing for a while. It seems like everyone is moving at a fast pace all the time anymore, which is sad. We need more slow days. Days with less worry, days to just relax and enjoy.

I especially enjoyed yesterday, I got another POP! in the mail! I was able to buy burning walker from someone on the POP! Facebook group for $13 shipped!! He's worth like $16 without shipping, so you can imagine my excitement. No one else gets it, so it's something I enjoy on my own. Even my one "friend" I met in the POP! group is weird. He's just like "meh" every time I show him something. He likes to boast, so nothing I have is worth anything. Little does he know I could give two shits about the price of my POPS!, I collect to collect, not to make money.

Well, I guess that's all for now. Hope you enjoy some of the pictures below...

My amazing burning walker POP!

Mail call, mail call, MAIL CALL!!!

So, I talked to a guy on a Walking Dead Facebook group that was selling some of his Walking Dead collection and he just so happened to have series 6 of The Walking Dead POP! Funko for $35 SHIPPED! Do you have any idea how cheap that is?? It took me no time to decide that I wanted them. Shipping was super fast and he even added a bunch of extras -- trading cards, guitar pic, an Alamo City Comic Con custom picture. It was just great.

Speaking of Walking Dead stuff, I met this girl in the same Facebook group that does custom Negan bats. She's also a carpenter, so her work is amazing! LaVaughn and I are having custom Negan bats made with an L on one and an M on the other -- they'll be AMAZING! Have I mentioned amazing?! It'll be a few weeks before they're done, but I don't mind.

While I'm on the subject of The Walking Dead, I'm sure everyone and their mother knows about the series 6 finale tonight. Well, my friends, I just so happen to be a member of TSDF forum and Facebook group. For those of you that don't know that that is, TSFD stands for : The Spoiling Dead Fans and they get insanely awesome spoilers about the show. They just so happen to have the LEAKED audio of the Negan finale! LaVaughn and I listened to it and it's going to be amazing! I cannot wait!

Well, I guess that's all for now. I should have titled this something along the lines of Walking Dead update, but whatever. Until next time...

Love & Peace

The Walking Dead Loot:

Lets whine about Wednesday...

I had so much on my mind last night. I couldn't stop thinking about what I wanted to do today, which I hate! Surprisingly enough, I accomplished maybe 62% of the stuff I wanted to do.

I was able to clean the rat cage -- which is a daily thing anymore, clean the drop trays, do some laundry, take pictures of Norman, and sew. I wanted to sew more than what I did, but one cage set is enough for now, right?? After all, I do have Friday to sew some more. I just hope I'm able to because we are SO far behind on sewing Laci's cage sets.

I also spent some time with the ducks today when I let the chickens out to free roam. I can't believe how much they've changed in a month, it's unreal! Everyone had progressed into adulthood very nicely, which allowed me to sex everyone! I'm happy to say that we have 10 hens and 7 drakes! Our drake number is a tad high, but I'm not parting with any of these boys, I just can't.

Oh, I almost forgot! I won series 5 of The Walking Dead Pop! Funko last week on ebay for just over $40 -- I know it sounds pricey, but believe me, it's a steal! They arrived yesterday while I was at work, of course. My god, they're awesome!! We already have series 1 and 2, now we just need 3 and 4 to complete our collection. They're coming out with a new set within the next few weeks, so we really, really need to get caught up! I need to start sewing, lol.

We're getting Jeremy and Boone neutered tomorrow evening, which I'm extremely nervous about! Ugh, I hate neuters. Jeremy will be leaving us within the next couple weeks and Boone, well Chloe and Boone are retiring as much as I hate to admit it. The glider market just isn't what it used to be, especially for leus and plats, so it's for the best. Besides, they were mating a few days ago, so I'm sure they'll give us one more set of babies. And have I mentioned that we're probably keeping Norman?

I guess that's all for now. I was going to post Angie's family pictures today, but I think I'll make a special post just for those pictures. I have them sorted, edited, and tagged via Photoshop, which I had to install on the new computer Monday. I'm seriously lost without it. So until then...

Love & Peace

Pictures from today:

They're everywhere!

I love this section of the house.

Here are just a few pictures from Norman's mini session:

And lastly, here's series 5 of The Walking Dead POP! Funko:

Sugar glider tooth problems...

I've kept myself fairly busy today, I started with cleaning up around the house, then I made my way to the glider room where I decided to trim nails, change pouches, and weigh everyone. I even managed to set aside enough time to take some pictures of the joeys. I know, I deserve an award.

The main reason I decided to trim nails is because of Pip, who has been a tad under the weather lately. He's been having teeth problems for a couple months now, but it seems to have gotten worse -- much worse. He seemed frail to me, so I decided to weigh him. I was right, he's lost 13 grams! And all of this due to tartar build up... it's so depressing.

I talked to Val (renowned glider-illness expert) and explained the situation to her. Luckily -- but not -- she's experienced something similar with a glider of hers, Cheddar. She recommended I talk to the vet about a clorhexadine rinse and the use of Gum-Soft Picks. As soon as I got done talking to her, I went and bought two 80 packs of the picks. They work great to clean the tartar out from between his front teeth. Of course, he's not happy about it, but it does help him eat better.

And since he is having so much problem eating anything solid, we deiced to switch him an Sadie from HPW (which is liquid) to Reep's. Now I'm sure most of you don't remember, but we fed Reep's for a short period of time back in the winter of 2010. One batch just does not make enough for the number of gliders we have, so we stuck with HPW. The only reason we're feeding him this now is because it's a hearty diet. It has baby food, baby cereal, and a couple other things. We're hoping that it will help him put on some more weight. Only time will tell.

Well, since I'm done with my chores for the day, I believe I'm going to have a little "me" time and go play The Last of Us...

Love & Peace
