Hang in there, buddy...

Wow, today has been LONG! We had to take Fletcher to the vet today, as well as stop by the license bureau/DMV so that LaVaughn could renew her licence, AND grocery shop! We left the house around 1ish and made it to the DMV just after 2. Fletcher and I sat outside the entire time waiting on LaVaughn to finish up. We spent our spare time sniffing things, taking selfies and staring at the passers by.

 After we finished up there, we went straight to the license bureau where we both proceeded inside. It was only going to take like 10 minutes, so I thought I would join her instead of sitting in the car. I honestly didn't think anything about Fletcher bothering anything, until I looked out the window, that is. What was he doing do you think? Well he had somehow teleported to the front seat and was switching back and forth between the drivers seat and the passengers seat.

I didn't even bother to tell her what I was doing, I just ran outside and across the street to the car. I managed to get him back in the backseat and checked the leather to make sure there was no punctures. Thankfully there wasn't! We had the entire backseat encased in blankets and sheets so that he couldn't puke in any of the nooks or tear the leather.

LaVaughn finished up in side before I even got a chance to clean the gum up off the seats. Yes, he had GUM on his feet and got it all over the front of the car! I wanted to scream.

We went on to the vet, even thought we were like 25 minutes early. They took him back proceeded to do their thing. I had to leave the room after they expressed his anal glands -- the smell, oh god! I went on to the front desk and bought our cats some Comfortis.

As soon as we finished up there, we went to the store and did some grocery shopping. We didn't go crazy this time, so it didn't take us as long as it normally would have. We grabbed a burger from none other than McDonald's and a Java Chiller from Sonic and then headed home.

Zoe, believe it or not, ate her Comfortis willingly. Una was extremely reluctant, so we had to shove her pill down her throat. Poor baby. Lets just hope this helps eradicate fleas and help with Una's skin condition.

And now all I want to do is try out all the new International Delight creamers that we got. So until next time...

Love & Peace

 Pics from today, via mainly my phone:

There's like NO room for anything else in the fridge. It's sad how much creamer we have.

Norman, isn't he big?

Fletcher enjoying his ride to Fredericktown.


And now we're sniffing around the DMV.



Selfie time! I'm not one for posting pictures of myself, but this one was a keeper.

Fletcher getting the works at the vet. He's actually getting blood drawn here.

Comfortis for the cats!

These are all the new flavors we got today. Well, the sweet cream isn't new, but we were out.

He's excited to go home. And get his cheeseburger from McD's.

Love this one.

Like an idiot, when I was ordering cat food, treats, and litter from Walmart.com for pickup today, I accidentally ordered two things of Tidy Cats. There's really no going back once you get it.

For the lack of trying...

Does that title even make sense? I don't even care, anyways! I've been MIA on my blog here lately, but it's not for the lack of trying. See what I did there? I've also been off work ALL weekend when I didn't request to be, which is annoying. Their loss, I'm a sound worker and this past weekend was the annual Mountain Man Music Festival. Jokes on them!

I got back tomorrow, which I'm mildly excited about, but also kind of just, "Eh."

I did take advantage of my last day off, though. I cut out ALL of Laci's 8 pouches and sewed up a couple before I had to deal with other things. I've sewn her 3 cage sets -- by myself -- already, so I only need to get these 8 sewn before I can ship them out. I'm excited. After this I can start on just regular sets.

Wednesday we have to take Fletcher to the vet for his 6 month check up. He has to have a liver profile, heartworm test, nail trim, anal glands expressed, his ears, and then some. Poor guy, he doesn't even see it coming. Then Thursday I have to do Megan's senior pictures. Friday is all about finishing Laci's stuff and getting everything packaged up and sent out. Should be an interesting week!

So, yesterdays episode of The Walking Dead was pretty much the best thing that's happened all week. Carol completely stole the show IMO. Have I mentioned that my uncle is now 100% hooked? He watched seasons 1-3 last week and the week before, this week he watched season 4 and 5 in THREE days!! Can you say obsessed? Lol, I can relate.

In glider news, Norman is still tugging at my heart strings and I am completely over the moon for him. Ugh, I love him dearly! I'm like 97% sure we're keeping him. I know, we're terrible. Also, Charli's little one should be OOP within the next couple weeks. I can't wait! Kira is still without joeys. This is so weird for her and makes me think she's self-retiring. It makes me sad to think there will be no more Kira and Logan babies.

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

Love & Peace

Pictures from Saturday:


I love the yard this time of year. Not the best pictures to back that up, but still.

There are SO many buckeyes this year!


Sunday (all cell pics):

Lap cat.

Gorgeous Sunday evening.

Watching The Walking Dead season 6 in my Walking Dead pants.

Some Norman cuteness:

This boy, ugh!


He looks mean, but he's super sweet.





Monday:

All 8 of Laci's pouches.


Now this is a good example of how pretty our yard is in the fall.




Yum, biscuits!

Southeast Missouri Photography...

I thought I would take the time today -- well, technically it's night time, lol -- to share my first ever family photo session. I had SUCH a pleasure photographing this beautiful family, it's an occasion I'll remember for a lifetime!

The shoot was set at a gorgeous and historic barn in Ironton, just outside city limits. This barn was also featured in a historic Missouri calendar, so it really was the perfect place for a session with an unbelievably sweet and gorgeous family!

I ended up taking well over 600 pictures, which I narrowed down to 70. This is way over the average session, but Angie is a friend and I felt the need to give her more than what I would anyone else. I know, picking favorites is frowned upon, but oh well. For this blog, I decided to share just 12 of my favorite pictures from the day. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

Love & Peace

Such a gorgeous family photo.












Lets whine about Wednesday...

I had so much on my mind last night. I couldn't stop thinking about what I wanted to do today, which I hate! Surprisingly enough, I accomplished maybe 62% of the stuff I wanted to do.

I was able to clean the rat cage -- which is a daily thing anymore, clean the drop trays, do some laundry, take pictures of Norman, and sew. I wanted to sew more than what I did, but one cage set is enough for now, right?? After all, I do have Friday to sew some more. I just hope I'm able to because we are SO far behind on sewing Laci's cage sets.

I also spent some time with the ducks today when I let the chickens out to free roam. I can't believe how much they've changed in a month, it's unreal! Everyone had progressed into adulthood very nicely, which allowed me to sex everyone! I'm happy to say that we have 10 hens and 7 drakes! Our drake number is a tad high, but I'm not parting with any of these boys, I just can't.

Oh, I almost forgot! I won series 5 of The Walking Dead Pop! Funko last week on ebay for just over $40 -- I know it sounds pricey, but believe me, it's a steal! They arrived yesterday while I was at work, of course. My god, they're awesome!! We already have series 1 and 2, now we just need 3 and 4 to complete our collection. They're coming out with a new set within the next few weeks, so we really, really need to get caught up! I need to start sewing, lol.

We're getting Jeremy and Boone neutered tomorrow evening, which I'm extremely nervous about! Ugh, I hate neuters. Jeremy will be leaving us within the next couple weeks and Boone, well Chloe and Boone are retiring as much as I hate to admit it. The glider market just isn't what it used to be, especially for leus and plats, so it's for the best. Besides, they were mating a few days ago, so I'm sure they'll give us one more set of babies. And have I mentioned that we're probably keeping Norman?

I guess that's all for now. I was going to post Angie's family pictures today, but I think I'll make a special post just for those pictures. I have them sorted, edited, and tagged via Photoshop, which I had to install on the new computer Monday. I'm seriously lost without it. So until then...

Love & Peace

Pictures from today:

They're everywhere!



I love this section of the house.


Here are just a few pictures from Norman's mini session:










And lastly, here's series 5 of The Walking Dead POP! Funko:
