Going out of business...

For those of you in the lower US states, you've probably been to, or at least heard about Hastings, the entertainment store. LaVaughn and I have been shopping at Hastings for over 15 years. No, we don't go all the time, but we've always had the options. I'm extremely sadden to announce that they're going out of business.

Naturally, when any company goes out of business, they have a big "Going out of business!" sale. Luckily for us, we've been able to take advantage of their sales a couple times now.

Aside from a few movies and some Sons of Anarchy pics that won't be pictured, we managed to grab the ONLY Game of Thrones Night's Watch pledge. This is what I've wanted for months, but there was NO way I was going to pay $25 for it. Since everything was 40% off, we got it for the semi-low price of $14 -- score!

Night's Watch Pledge - Amazing!

Playing dice for Q-Tips...

What a busy few days it's been! I guess that's why it's been so long since my last post -- 1 week tomorrow! So, I left you with Norman and his penis issues. Well thankfully, things are finally starting to look up (knock wood), The color has practically returned to normal and it's retracted by 80%. We've been keeping him very lubricated with Vetericyn and KY Jelly.

He's been living alone for a week now, which is heartbreaking. After he started to heal, he starting crying for his family. He's 4 months old, but such a baby in some ways still. Once he's 100% recovered from this, we're going to introduce him to Ginny. They will (hopefully) make the cutest couple!

Speaking of gliders, I'm going to give you a rundown on all the happenings with all the mamas and their babies. Ellie is FINALLY starting to show, quite a bit, actually. Charli is fairly huge and was evening singing a couple days ago. Chloe's babies are huge and fluffy and so sweet. Jim has a home lined up, but Dale is still available. Kira's little girl is so cute, but she's a little punk. I'll probably create an ad for her later this week.

In cat news, Toby is still missing. Have I even mentioned that he's been gone for 2 weeks now? Bart disappeared for over 3 weeks, so I'm still holding out hope for Toby. Mason and Jasper have been MIA for the past 2 days now, but Mason showed up today, thankfully. Cersei and Bart hang around the house almost all the time, which is great. I just wish the boys would stop running off. As much as I don't want to admit it, I think Bart is chasing them off and fighting them.

So, aside from animals, not too much as been going on. I've been working and sewing, that's pretty much it. I worked Saturday for just over 3 hours -- not that I'm complaining. Sunday I sewed a cage set, vacuumed the house, vacuumed the glider room, cleaned drop trays, did laundry, and cleaned the rat cage. Busy day! Monday I had to drive my aunt to Cape so that she could get an injection in her back... Not fun! We left the house just before noon and didn't get home until almost 8.

I was so aggravated at myself. I completely forgot to get the Redbox game and movie that we rented, so as soon as we got home, LaVaughn and I had to turn around and go straight into Piedmont before 9 that night. This was after we shut the chickens and ducks up, fed the cats, dogs, and put the groceries away. I also had to feed the gliders when we got back from Piedmont just before 9. I was so exhausted! I also had to work the following day, which completely sucked. It didn't help that we were super busy -- you have no idea how sore I am from running all over the place at work.

Today I've been semi chill. I cut out a cage set last night. Oh yeah, let me break here for a second and tell you about the fleece that arrived in the mail. I ordered fleece from Hancock last week and it arrived Monday, but they were out of 3 different things that we ordered, so I had to order fillers from Fabric.com which won't  be here until Saturday. Sigh...

Anyways, I had one that was paired up, so I cut that out last night and sewed it up today. A lady that ordered a cage set from me last week and paid via money transfer (at Walmart) commented on the set I posted a little while ago and then she sent me a message. She told me that she loved it and wanted it, but she didn't get paid for a few days. I could tell how much she wanted it, so I told her I had no problems holding it for her.

I hate that the rest of our fleece won't be here for a few more days. I badly want to cut more and sew.

Hmm... what else. Monday while we were waiting on my aunt, we decided to do some much needed grocery shopping. We loaded up on Morning Start and Cinnabon coffee creamer while we were there. After that we headed to Hastings where we walked around and ended up scoring Clay and Gemma POP! Funko's to complete our Sons Of Anarchy collection. Yay!

They had a "Buy One Get One For 50% Off" sale on their POP! Funko toys, but we thought they were all 50% off, so we had like 9 of them -- 7 being Walking Dead ones. It didn't take us long to put them all back once we figured out what the sale really was, haha. Oh well, maybe next time. :)

Well I guess that's all for now. There will be lots of cute joey pictures at the bottom that I took today. Hope you enjoy...

Love & Peace

So caught up in you...

That title rings true to how I feel about Sons of Anarchy at the moment. I'm literally obsessed with the show and want to go so far as to track down an MC and join. I honestly wouldn't care what their initiation would be either. I'm so glad that LaVaughn and I are on the same page with the show, I honestly don't know how well we would get along if she didn't want to watch and obsess about the show as much as me.

That's kind of beside the point right now. We just got back from Cape a short while ago -- my aunt had to have another injection in her back. Out of all the long and heinous drives out there, the drive to Cape is one of the worst. It didn't help that I got up at 8 and was running on 4 hours of sleep, but the drive is terrible none the less.

I'm already on my second cup of coffee and plan on swallowing one more before the nights over. It's only 8, I plan on staying up until at least 3 in the morning. Caffeine is a must!

Aside from the grueling drive there and back, the day wasn't very eventful. The most exciting part was stopping at the grocery store in Marble Hill -- that is seriously one of the creepiest places I've ever been! The town is just so... unusual! Stopping was a requirement, our gliders were completely out of veggies. They're pretty stocked up now! There are two 1 gallon freezer bags full of veggies. Not to mention the sweet potatoes and peppers that aren't in the mix.

Speaking of glider food, we ordered our very FIRST kilo of Wombaroo powder the other day. It's only $25 more to get 3x as much powder. In the long run we're saving close to $50 -- or getting two boxes free. We'll soon have enough Wombaroo to make 44 batches of HPW, so we shouldn't need anymore until next year.

I also ordered some bee pollen to accompany.

Speaking of ordering stuff, we also ordered 6 more yards of fleece from Joann's while they were having a 60% off sale. SUPER stoked to get those! Speaking of sewing, we're actually planning on cutting into and sewing some of the fleece that we've been harboring for months. I'm actually kind of looking forward to it. After all, we need to move out what we have before we get our new stuff.

With that being said, I'm out!

Love & Peace

Here's a bird I harassed while I waited in the car:

All the glorious veggies from today (minus the peppers and sweet potatoes):

Of course, some cat pictures:

Laying pipe...

I haven't gone to work in two weeks... can you believe it? My boss took me off the schedule this past week, which turned out to be a good idea, considering Wed. was the first day that I could actually go anywhere in the car. I work 5-9 tomorrow, which is hardly worth the drive there, but it's a nice, short shift that will allow me to get back into the flow with ease.

I took advantage of today and decided to take a MILLION pictures. Just so you know, 70% of those are of cats. You've been warned. The rest are of all the snow we got today, which was close to two inches. Quite the shocker, actually. I honestly didn't think it would amount to anything, but it did. 

It wont last long, it'll all melt off by tomorrow.

I hate that I have to work so late tomorrow, because Monday I have to drive my aunt to Cape. Her appointment is for 11:00, so we'll have to be out the door no later than 9:00. Actually we'll have to leave a little before that, so that means we'll have an 8 AM wake up call. GAG! 

I guess I'll go take advantage of what's left of my evening. Time to watch some more SOA. For those of you who don't know -- and for the ones that are just curious -- the title of my blog is episode 5.02 of SOA and is also the same episode in which my all time favorite character is murdered. Boo!

Love & Peace
