Windows 10...

So, there was a last minute change of plans last night. We ended up meeting Milli last night in PB as opposed to today, which worked better for everyone involved. We met at Petsway, like always, and made the swap. We didn't chit chat for too long, so we parted ways after about 10 minutes.

We headed to Walmart shortly after and grabbed a few things -- nail polish, some makeup, and even a couple movies. It was nice to not have an agenda or have to grocery shop. We ended our night with a moo latte from Dairy Queen and headed home.

We had started cleaning all the drop trays and wheels yesterday, but only got 3 cages done before we fixed dinner and headed to PB to meet her. We finished up the remaining 4 cages today. It's amazing what a difference that makes. I did a partial wipe down on all the cages, but nothing to brag about. I also cleaned the drop trays and swept the room. Aside from that I also vacuumed the house and did laundry. Go me!

I am in NO way bragging about this, but LaVaughn and I got a new mutual laptop just a short while ago. We've been wanting to replace our Compaq for some time now, but never took the plunge. Well a little over a week ago our fan stopped working on us entirely! It's an old computer, we've had it over 4 years. It's been an awesome computer, but it was time to retire the old broad.

We went with an HP, a model we haven't had in years! Like the last HP computer we got was back in 2005 and it was a desktop. We each got an Acer in 2008, then we each got a Compaq, then at the beginning of 2014 we each got an Asus. I'm curious to see how this one goes. It's sporting Windows 10, which is a BIG difference from Windows 7, which is what our Compaq had. We have Windows 8 on our Asus computers, which I despise more than you can imagine!

It's not all tiles, which I love. Tiles are still involved, but only via the start button. There's also a feature called Cortana -- very similar to Siri via your phone. Not sure how I feel about that addition, but aside from that it seems to be a well rounded (and improved) Windows system.

And now that I'm done ranting, here are some pictures from yesterday and today. Until next time...

Love & Peace

Pictures from yesterday:

Oh how I'm going to miss my gorgeous Wanda.

Her parents are going to miss her too.

We got the ENTIRE Saw movie collection for $7.50! Wrong Turn 6 was only $5. Pretty good buys on both, honestly.

I'm really hoping this works well on my nails. I think I have an iron deficiency which is causing my nails to crack and peel. Yuck!

Couldn't leave without a couple new colors. And can you believe they were all under $2 each??

Pictures from today:

Our geese have returned!

Bart's annual mini shoot, naturally.

He's such a love.

He was really enjoying showing off his nail scratching skills.

And lastly, our new HP computer. SO EXCITED!

Snow white...

We had to go back to Fredericktown again today, which prevailed to be a wasted trip. Now we get to go back next Wednesday... Fun! We had to stop by the store to grab some cat food and coffee creamers -- obsessed is putting it lightly at the moment. I'm still extremely pissed that they don't have the Almond Joey ones anymore. Major sad face.

As soon as we got home today we had to start making HPW. We ran out last night, so it was a have to type of thing. Since we got our new box of Wombaroo powder and 160 ounces of honey, we decided to make 8 batches of HPW. We even stopped by Dollar General and picked up a couple new containers especially for HPW. Unfortunately, they're not big enough and only hold 3 batches each. We were hoping they would hold 4, but it worked out better that way. Now we have 6 batches out in the deep freeze and 2 in the house. I'm very curious as to how long these will last -- I'm thinking until next months sometime?? Like nearing the end, maybe even November!

Before I forget about it, I'd like to talk about a couple items we got in the mail for the ratties yesterday. I was reading a girls post in one of the rat groups on Facebook and was moved by her cry for help. Her poor rat boy had a hernia that was spilling out into his testicles. Unfortunately the surgery was going to cost $600, which she didn't have. She was asking for donations and in return you got sewn items. Yes, we can sew our own rattie items, but I know first hand how it is to need a lot of money up front for rat surgeries. I ended up getting a rat cube ($12) and a little rat bed ($9). I sent her a little extra to help. It wasn't much, but I hope it was enough.

We got our adorable little cage set items in the mail yesterday while I was at work and they're adorable! The bed is s tad smaller than I thought it would be, but I'm sure it will suffice. I want to find some of the same material and make them a few more things to go with it.

Have I even mentioned that Chloe and Boone's little boy detached early yesterday morning?? Well he FINALLY did and weighed in at a whipping 19 grams! He's by far the biggest joey we've ever had here. He's also a big cry baby, but oh my god, he's SO cute!! He's also extremely pouch stained, which is another first for us. Chloe needs to not be so greedy next time. As of right now, we're calling him Norman.

Speaking of joeys, Wanda will be leaving us Friday. We're meeting Milli in Poplar Bluff to hand her over. It's going to kill me, I love her so. :( I don't think it will be half as bad parting with Pietro, though. Now THAT killed me.

Well I guess that's all for now. It's getting late and I'm getting a thirst for coffee. Until next time...

Love & Peace

He's ADORABLE!

I want to keep him. :D

Gotta get one of papa Boone.

Thankfully he's gorgeously white.
