The Evil Within...

Don't you just love when you go to town for one thing, then leave with something entirely different? Like say, you go to Walmart to pick up a store order (cat litter and face cream) and leave with a completely awesome survival horror game that just dropped on the market yesterday?

As LaVaughn and I were walking around the store, we decided to run past the game and movie section -- which is something that we do every time we go to the store.

As we stood in the isle, staring at the PS4 games... there it was! It took me a couple seconds to pick my jaw up off the floor so that I could muster the words, "Look!" while pointing up at the game. Still in shock, I looked some game play up on my phone and the rest was history.

Of course I was a little hesitant to drop $60 on a game -- who wouldn't be! But certain games are just worth it. Not Tomb Raider, that's not worth it.

We ate in town so that we wouldn't have to bother cooking when we got home, considering we have a couple dozen critters to cook for already, we figured it was a safe bet if we wanted to play the game at all. And instead of me blogging, I suppose I should help finish feeding everything. We still have coffee to make before we can play!

I'll try to update tomorrow as to how awesome, or not-awesome the game is. I'm hoping for a full fledged, "That was the best game ever!" type of reaction. We shall see...

Here's the new game!

The Evil Within.. I wonder how it will be. 

And since I haven't shown them off in a while, here are the 5 kittens:

Mr. Mason, our gorgeous black cat:

Jasper, our other cute little boy:

(he's actually going to live with a friend of ours soon... sad face)

Toby (with an i), our gorgeous boy:

Cersei, ignoring one of her kittens while she's desperately trying to nurse:

A few scenic pictures from our drive to town today:

The lighting was stunning!

The rarely seen... Aubrey:

She has the cutest cow spotted ears!

And lastly, Titus' casket...

Farewell little man...

I'm very saddened to announce that Titus passed away yesterday. I really don't understand why, he was eating semi-well and going to the bathroom regularly. He had lost some weight, that was easy to see, but not a dramatic amount. We tried our best, that's all I keep telling myself.

I thought about him on my drive home from work last night. I know I'm pathetic, but I can't help it.

I'm really hoping we don't find anymore abandoned mice anytime soon. Especially considering the failure rate is 70%... yikes! I don't want to hand raise ANYthing, like ever! Not saying that I couldn't do it, but I just don't have the emotional strength. It kills me to see any type of animal suffer and I get so easily attached.

I sewed and entire cage set (by myself) today that wasn't already specially ordered. It's made from left over fleece -- a pre-made. I don't remember the last time we made a pre-made cage set... it's been nearly a year! I'm hoping that this one sells. When it (hopefully) sells, I'll sew up another and try to sell it as well. Christmas is just around the corner and we could use as much extra money as we can get.

I guess that's all for now. Until next time...

Love & Peace

Here's the set I made. Not too shabby, eh?

My Saturday night...

It's very, very rare that I have Saturday's off -- I actually can't remember the last time I had a Saturday off -- so I'm taking full advantage of this. I'm going to try and clean as much as I can, even though I just cleaned Thursday (rat cage, drop trays, vacuumed), but a house can never be too clean, right? I need to vacuum the glider room terribly and change out all the cage sets. 

I'm hoping to accomplish that and a few other things as well, like laundry and dishes, but that shouldn't be too complicated.

After LaVaughn and I feed the cats, dog, gliders, baby mouse, and shut the chickens up, movie night is in full swing! I'm talking non-stop moving watching, dinner in front of the TV type of day. 

Since we've watched the new episode of American Horror Story: Freakshow -- which was awesome beyond words -- and missed the first episode of Supernatural, we're probably going to start out with it, because I definitely don't want to get behind on Supernatural episodes. The world as we know it may very well come to an end! 

As far as movies go, I FINALLY found a copy of 7500, which is first up on our movie lineup. It's about a supernatural force on an airplane. Hopefully it's as good as the previews look. Next up will be Deliver Us From Evil, which we've both been DYING to see! Can't wait for that! Then we have The Purge: Anarchy and See No Evil 2... who know, right? After all, I haven't seen one scrap of a preview for that movie.

So there you have it, those 3 (hopefully) awesome movies! I hope we're able to watch -- and enjoy -- them all before the night is over. 

Of course, we'll be taking care of Titus (our little mouse) in between takes. He's doing pretty good, I don't want to say great because he still isn't eating willingly. LaVaughn is able to stimulate him better than me, I can only seem to get him to pee on occasion, whereas she can get him to poop like crazy (knock wood). I just hope the little guy makes it... it'll break my heart if he doesn't.

Speaking of baby things, I'm pretty sure we're going to be down 3 joeys next weekend. Petra, Avery, and Harper are all eating well enough on their own to go to their new mama's, especially Petra. I think we're going to meet up with Cindy and she's just going to deliver everyone for us, cause she's so incredibly nice... I love her. I guess we'll see how things go this coming week.

So, we finally got Laci's cage sets and pouches done. I don't think it's ever taken us so long to get something finished and out the door. We paid for shipping, 2 day shipping so she should get them Tuesday. I STILL can't believe we were able to smash them in a large flat rate box! When we were in the process, I didn't think they would fit. I'll post a picture below to show you just how much went into that box. Now I just hope the mail lady takes it! She's normally pretty good at that.

Well, I suppose that's all for now. If I want to accomplish everything I've set out to accomplish, I need to start now. Until next time...

Love & Peace

We were able to smash all of this...

Into this...

Yes, we're awesome.
