Another down...
Just do I don't lose track of where I'm at, I'm posting a cage set that I sewed today. You don't need to understand why I'm posting this, I'm really only posting it as a marker. :)
Sugar glider cage set...
Just because I wanted to "check in", I thought I would share my newest cage set. :)
What's been going on...
So, lots has taken place over the last 10 days since I've blogged. I've had some time to blog, but I'm keeping my mind pre-occupied with other things lately, things I actually enjoy more than writing. So, let me start with the most exciting news (to me).
We found a kitten. I know, I know, we do NOT need more cats, nor do we want more, but some jerk dropped a kitten off (maybe more) next to our mailbox. We were driving home I want to say Thursday before last and there she was. LaVaughn got out of the car and chased her down, then we brought her down to the house.
She's young, probably no older than 3 months and was super skinny. She had some eye irritation going on and started sneezing quite a bit over the weekend, so I called Monday and made her vet appointment for Thursday. Her check-up went good, aside from being a tad on the sickly side, but Heather said she really didn't even look that bad. Her lungs sounded good, so she was almost certain she had a viral infection which resulted in a URI. She's on 10 (I think) days of Clavamox now.
LaVaughn and I both swear up and down that she's Bart's kitten. She looks identical to him, even when he was a kitten. I would almost put money on the fact that she's one of his babies, which warms my heart. I miss Bart so much and think of him often. Even more now, but it doesn't make me as sad as my memories of him. We've decided to name her Clementine, which fits her so well.
Cersei isn't too keen on the idea of having another kitten around, but she does seem to be warming up to her. Too bad Clementine wants absolutely nothing to do with poor Cersei.
I've actually (slowly) started getting back into sewing lately. I sewed not one, but TWO cage sets last week! It was so much fun and such a warm welcome back into the world of vending when my cage set sold literally two minutes after I posted it. She even bought another, but has yet to pay for it. I cut out a set today that I'll hopefully get around to sewing tomorrow.

Crappy picture, but isn't she cute??
Sewing and coffee go hand in hand.
This is the second set I did. It's one of my all time favorites.
In gaming news -- not sure if you know this or not, but Resident Evil 5 was released at the end of June. JUNE!! Do you realize how long we could have been playing this game?? It's only one of the best RE co-op games out there. As soon as I found out, I ordered it. Resident Evil 4 comes out at the end of this month. I'm dying...
Day before yesterday I had to drive my aunt to The Laser Spine Institute in Saint Louis. Boy what a day! The drive was effortless, but the waiting, that was the hardest part. I think LaVaughn and I sat out in the waiting area for over 3 hours! We watched what seemed like dozens of episodes of Like It or List is (not sure if that's the name) while we waiting on her to come out.
They had a dining area with free food -- mainly some creepy chips, chopped salad, half sandwiches and several different beverages (mainly hot teas and coffee). I got a coffee at one point, but had to throw it away due to its raunchiness. We left with a couple things of apple juice which we had yesterday.
My aunt got all of her day one testing done and thankfully she didn't have to go back until today to do the rest. Now all we can do is hope that they'll be able to help her out with a VERY minimal surgery.
Since we were in the neighborhood, we asked Christina if she would meet us and pick up the boys that had to be shipped. Since I haven't really talked about the gliders any, I'm referring to Nanook and Gendry. They'll be shipped to Florida and Maryland this Friday to meet their new mommies. #nervous
I guess that about sums up the past couple weeks. I live a very boring life, so not much can be expected in the way of thrills and excitement when I blog. Hopefully it's enough to keep you interested. Until next time...

What I'm up to...
My blogs have been few and far between lately and I apologize. I'm not joking at all when I say this -- after the ordeal with Zoe, I haven't wanted to do anything that I used to do. Nothing else mattered, only her and her health. And just when I thought things would settle down some, Pip died, then Sadie. It's been non-stop for a while and I basically didn't have the energy for anything.
I've gotten extremely lazy. For example, I've sewn TWO cage sets since May.. TWO! That's so unreal and sickens me.
I'm trying to get back into my old groove, but it's not working out well. Blogging has very slowly gotten better over the last month, but barely! I usually post blogs 3 weeks later than what they should be and just back-date. Sewing is also terrible. I just do not want to sew anymore. I don't know why, but I just don't. I'm trying to rejuvenate my passion by ordering new fleece, which I did a couple days ago. Since Hancock went out of business I've had to resort to Fabric.com for all of my fleece needs. They never have any type of coupons or promotions, just free shipping when you spend $50 or more. I ordered 18 yards of fleece last week for just over $100, which wasn't too bad. All of that arrived Monday, but I didn't get around to sewing any of it this week. I have to work the next 3 days, so I definitely wont be sewing then.
Speaking of work, it's about the same. Nothing new or exciting, just the same old meth heads and late season campers that travel to Sam A. Baker state part. Do you have any idea how tiring it is to tell people how to get there? And 9 times out of 10 they come from the direction of the part. The road goes straight through it, I have absolutely no idea how they miss it!
Oh, I've completely given up on project 365 this year. I was trying to take a picture with my camera every day, but after a while I was taking pictures of the most ignorant stuff. I finally called it quits a few weeks ago. I have still been taking pictures of my phone practically every day, but I'm not planing on doing a project 365. It's just one less thing to have to worry about doing and it's honestly a big relief.
Lets see, what else has been going on... We've watched so many new movies lately, I can't even begin to name them all. We've also started watching Hemlock Grove (which is awesome) and catching up on Once Upon A Time, which is amazing. I wish I could think of everything we've watched lately, but I can't. I list all of the movies we've been watching on The Spoiling Dead Forum HERE for those that are interested. You'll just have to skim through them to find my posts.
Speaking of, I've become quite the active TSDF member since March. I love it there. They're normal, not PG like Glider Central was and they talk about what I love most, The Walking Dead! But there's so much more to that forum than TWD and spoilers, we talk about any and everything! And they're so much more understanding than most people, I love it.
I know, I'm a forum nerd.
I can't really think of anything else, so I guess I'm going to go. Until next time...

I see the light coming through my window...
After I finished sewing up a cage set (and cutting some out, bleh) I decided to take some pictures of Nubbins -- the rarely seen or talked about 3-legged joey.
I'll start by saying that he is doing super well. He's getting big, he's gorgeous, and he's pretty damn sweet. He can be crabby at times, but that's just because he's a tad pouch protective, but nothing serious. He also hasn't ventured outside his pouch yet, which is starting to worry me. He's surpassed the curiosity stage and should be venturing outside the pouch already.
He's having to learn everything in a completely different way from all of our other joeys, so I guess he just needs time to adapt.
Like I said, he's super sweet, gorgeous, and healthy -- can't really ask for more than that. And the pictures I got of him today are 50 shades of adorable! Some of my absolute favorites so far.
I guess that's all for now. Until next time...
Love & Peace

Saying hello to the month of March...
I'm EXTREMELY low on fleece. I'm serious, I had one yard of fleece left that was sew(able). I ended up sewing that today and tried my best to post it on Facebook. For some reason it wasn't allowing me to post, but they say everything happens for a reason, right? Well after I got the set posted in the group I admin, Laci commented on it and said that she wanted it. Weird. I post sets weekly and she always comments on how she likes them or whatever, but this one she legit wanted. I'm assuming that's why I was unable to post it in any of the other groups.
Call me crazy, but that's how I see things.
After I finished up with that, I took some new pics of Loras and Cordelia. I'm kind of sad that Cordelia is spoken for -- she's so dark, I want to keep her! We have Agnes, but Cordelia's face is so much darker. Agnes may get darker on down the road, though.
Oliver and Ellie's joey is getting so close to detaching! I'm seeing body parts left and right now. It's only a matter of time before he detaches. I'm so anxious to see if he'll be a BFBB or not.
I have to train one more day at Bonnie's tomorrow before I'm left to the masses on Friday. I'm kind of nervous, but I think after tomorrow I should have everything down.
Speaking of tomorrow, the Orkin people are coming out to the house for their yearly inspection. I'm so not looking forward to their 10 AM appointment . Why oh why must everything take place before noon? I don't understand morning people.
Well I guess that's all for now. Time for more Far Cry.
Love & Peace
