Around the world in 5 hours... or less?

For the first time in a very long time, LaVaughn and I were actually able to take a LEISURELY drive to Poplar Bluff! It's been nearly a year - far too long in my opinion - since we've been there. And the last time we were there, if I remember correctly, we were nearly flooded out and had our aunt with us. It wasn't a bad day, of course, but it was a weird one to say the least.

Of course, we stopped by Pets-R-Us first. Not only is it first on the drive through PB, but it was 5:30 and they close at 6:00, so it's not like we had much of a choice. After we walked in, I was kind of wishing we hadn't made it in time. There were SO many people in there! That's not the only reason though, the new people they had working there were the main reason.

This one chick - who looked to be about 16 - followed LaVaughn around and asked her about her lip ring. All the while sneaking a flirt in here and there. That really made my day, lol. She didn't bother us too much after that, it was the other chick that really bothered us. She looked a little older than the one, but not by much. She followed us ALL over! I wanted to kill her!

Of course, we were walking around admiring the animals and I, like always, had the camera attached to my hand snapping a few pictures. It's not like I could get a lot of good ones though, I was being interrupted everywhere I went!

The older looking chick was like, "Do you want to hold anything?" LaVaughn replied, jokingly I might add, "Yeah, everything!" Then the girl was like, "I can let you hold 3 things." We both shrugged it off and said no thanks. That was just very annoying. It wasn't long after that, that we left.

Of course, when first walked in, LaVaughn spotted 3 puppies! She was like, "Awe, they're so cute, I want one so bad!" I was just like, "Meh." And walked away. I was actually following the sound of a mowing kitten. And as I walked up to the kitten room, I saw the most beautiful seal point kitten ever!! And he was so, so sweet. He kept meowing and rubbing on the glass, it was pitiful. I'm butter when it comes to kittens.

They wanted $75 for each dog AND the cat! It was unbelievably expensive! Pet stores are so good at ripping people off. After all that fun, we decided to leave.

It was then that we headed to Petsway.

Petsway is basically the same. They had the same animals, same stuff, and same oblivious staff. At least no one bothered us there! For some odd reason, we found ourselves at the parakeet cage fondling all the parakeets. Well, that was mostly me, but whatevs. We stared at them for a good 10 minutes before we fooled around with the idea of getting one. And why we did that, I'll never know! We both hate pet birds!

I'm serious though, we walked around for at least 20 minutes just pondering the idea of getting a parakeet! What the hell!? I seriously have no idea why. Luckily, we finally came to our senses and decided against it.

After that, we grabbed the rats a chew toy and left.

We were both pretty hungry by then, so we hopped across the street to Wendy's and nabbed one of their new Pretzel Bacon Burgers. We didn't want their fries or a drink, so we just stuck with the burger. The single had a price tag of just over $5 per burger, so we decided to make it a double for just under a dollar more. The grand total... $14!! For TWO burgers! I wanted to start screaming and speed out of the parking lot, but I thought that might look a little odd. Plus we both really wanted to try one, but holy shit that was expensive! Never again, never again. They were good though. ;)

After that, we stopped by McDonald's and grabbed some fries and a drink. Then we decided to head home.

Which leads me to now! And man am I happy to be home! It was nice to get out of the house for a while, and not just to run errands or go grocery shopping. It was just a nice day out on the town, lol.

Okay, now for even MORE exciting news... WE ORDERED TWO NEW HQ CAGES TODAY!! Omg, you have NO idea how excited I am about this! We've wanted new cages for SO long! After we get the rest of the money for Avan, we're ordering two more! Before long, we'll have all our babies in HQ cages!

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

Love & Peace

My wacky Wednesday...

Well, wacky isn't really the way to describe it. I honestly don't know why I put that. I have a bad habit of putting misleading titles. None of which is good for my readers. Nothing draws people in like, "My wacky Wednesday!" Sigh... The title should have been, "Thank God it's Wednesday and I don't have to work!"

Okay, time to get on point! LaVaughn and I FINALLY managed to sew poor Kyan's set today. It should have been done ages ago, but that kind of stuff is nearly impossible to do when you have family over. Cause you have to try and work around them without making them feel like they're in the way.

Before that, LaVaughn and I played around with our new turkey. Actually, playing around isn't the best way to put it, lol. We weren't out there frolicking around and playing tag, we were just offering her blades of grass. Which she happily took. I love that she was a hand raised turkey and is actually friendly! I'm beginning to think Tom Friendly isn't the best name for our other turkey...

After all of that was said and done, we got a message from Annette on Facebook telling us to call Bourbon. Weird, right? Bourbon is like a bonding guru when it comes to gliders. Everyone knows who she is. I've never talked to her on the phone before, only through emails and Facebook. So you can imagine how weird it was for me to call her up and be all, "Hey, how's it going?"

Well, the phone call was short of amazing! She offered to take our boys from Annette's to her place in Tennessee and meet us in Kentucky with them next week!!! How insane is that!? She's currently hanging out at Annette's until she heads to the SGGA in Texas later tonight. She's planing on staying the night with Annette Sunday and then heading home Monday. Possibly with our boys in hand!!

So there's a 97% chance that we'll have our boys next week!

The only thing that's making us not want to do it is Annette. We're afraid of hurting her feelings by not coming down to pick the up and see her. We've already assured her that we're still planing on coming down within the next couple months. It would just help SO much to get them now, then come down in the off season when the weather is cooler and things are cheaper. Decisions, decisions...

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

Love & Peace

Isn't she a beautiful turkey?


Harley stays with the turkeys ALL the time!



She loves to be fed grass. Not that you can tell here, lol.



These are some of our newest chicks. I don't believe I mentioned that one of them died. Well, actually one was murdered by a snake!!

She has such beautiful eyes.

Fantastic turkey head shot.

She kind of looks like a black eyed demon here, lol. Perhaps we should call her... Meg!

She kind of looks like a BBW here.

That would be broad breasted white. ;)




The rarely photographed, Lacy. Isn't she pretty? :)

Our majestic yard.

The lighting was SO beautiful today!

A wood pile. This is actually my peach tree that was murdered. :(

A tiny transparent spider.

A spider in its web in the sunlight.

Random wood pile picture.

Here's Kyan's set that we sewed.

This was taken yesterday morning. Check out the yellow hue!

It was getting ready to rain/storm.

More of the yellow sky.
