Time isn't on my side...

Been spending a lot of time with family the past few days -- against my will, lol. Not really, of course. It's left no time for blogging, unfortunately. Not like I've had a whole lot to blog about lately, honestly.

My mom decided to go home today, but my aunt and uncle have still been around, which I'm fine with. My uncle likes to aggravate all the time, which I find hysterical -- my aunt, not so much. I guess that's what life on the road does to you, so it's understandable. He's been really good this time, though, nothing too severe.

Every time they come over, they bring their puppies, Max and Otis. My aunt literally lives next door, so I see the puppies every day, humans or no humans. Those dogs take the best pictures! They sit so still and look at the camera, like directly in the camera! It's kind of odd, considering they're so young and haven't been around me that much.

It's so nice to have days off. I love nothing more than to spend the day outside, taking pictures. I worked so hard and so late last night -- sometimes I can't deal with that type of work environment. If people weren't so idiotic, it wouldn't be so bad. It's the people that live in Ironton that make me realize why I prefer animals over people.

I know this is off subject, but Aubrey finally went to her new home yesterday. It's been months since she's been ready -- I honestly didn't think she would ever get her. She's settling in well, which comes as a surprise, considering she's a very finicky glider.

I suppose that's all for now...

Be aware, prepare...

There's lots of talk about the winter storm that we're supposed to get, starting tonight and lasting up until tomorrow afternoon. Our watch was switched to a warning last night -- now we're expected to get up to 12 inches of snow. Fun! I was supposed to drive my aunt to her doctor in Cape tomorrow morning, but I highly doubt that will happen.

As of right now, we're shacked up inside the house with my aunt and her dog, Fletcher. We've all decided to ride the storm out together. Now I just wonder how much we'll actually get!

We were supposed to meet Kalie tomorrow as well so that she could get her TPM girl, Aubrey. I messaged her today and told her that wasn't likely. she was fine with it -- not like she had any other choice -- and said we would just reschedule. Since I felt so bad, I took several pictures of Aubrey on my phone and sent them to her. She was thrilled!

Speaking of gliders, we had everything arranged for Tracy to ship our creme girl and her sister tomorrow. Christina was going to pick them up from the airport and hold them until Thursday. Doug and Kyan were going to pick them up and we were all planing on meeting Thursday evening for dinner. After all, they still need to get Luna and the 3 wheels they're buying from us.

Now all of our arrangements have been canceled. Not sure when Tracy will be able to ship again... I'm not even sure when we'll be able to get out of the house if we get all the snow they're calling for! Now I'm bummed, cold, and ready to see some snow. Not a bunch, just enough to satisfy my desire.

Everyone in the storms path, stay safe and stay warm!

Love & Peace

Updated to add pictures of the rattie boys! Check the bottom for the new pictures!

Note Milla's face in background.

Una has an unhealthy obsession with Fletcher.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

After months and months of anticipation and waiting, Chloe FINALLY let her joeys come OOP!! And our suspicions were right, she had a leu and a TRUE PLATINUM MOSAIC! I can't even believe it. When people mentioned that Boon could be a mosaic under his color, I never in a million years would have thought that we would be lucky enough for that to happen. Way to go you two! :D

It's so sad, because I so desperately want to keep the little TPM boy, but I know I can't. If it wasn't for his years, then I wouldn't even consider it, lol. Not really, of course, but his ears are what's torture! Taylor will be lucky if she gets him. :)

Speaking of, Taylor is coming down Wednesday. I'm SO excited!! It's been forever since she's been down. I'm also pretty stoked that she's going to get to hold super young joeys for the first time. Lilah was almost a month old when she got to hold her, so she's really going to be head-over-heels for these little ones.

No to talk about depressing news... we met Kalie with Avon yesterday. :( We had him for over 8 months, so parting was bittersweet. Kalie was super excited to get him, so that made me happy, but I still miss him so much. I know he's in good hands with her, though.

We also did a little Christmas shopping on our way home from meeting Kalie and actually managed to find a few really awesome Christmas presents! One of which was a Black Friday sale that we thought was sold out. Apparently someone stashed one, which we found and took, lol.

After we got home yesterday evening, we decided to decorate out Christmas tree, which our aunt picked up for us earlier yesterday. It's BEAUTIFUL!! even before the tree was decorated, it was beautiful. It's so big and lush, it almost looks fake.

And that leads me to today, which was absolutely event-less. Seriously, we didn't do anything exciting or productive today, other than sewing a couple sets. I suppose I'll leave it at that. Until next time...

Love & Peace

Prepare for a photo bomb!!

Here are the boys, freshly OOP!

Pictures from our drive to Popular Bluff to meet Kalie:

This is Sam A. Baker state park. SO pretty!

The sky wasn't too bad either.

Not bad for a small town scenic view.

Decorating the three and what have you...

Pre-decorations. See how full and beautiful it is!?

Lights and balls.

Lights, balls, and garland.

Lights, balls, garland, ice cycles, and the star.

It's very beautiful with the lights off.

Pictures of the joeys from today:

Paxton

Isn't he so cute!?

Look at those ears!

Check out that loot!
