No more hair...

So I am tired of my hair, I think I am shaving it off again.

Hamsters begone...

Blackie has eaten all her children.... so now I only have blackie left.. :)

Weekend visit...

It has been a good week. I had all this weekend and part of last and until today off. I have been off since Thursday. Friday, my Ma and Tia Rosa flew in from Texas to visit us. Haven't seen my mother since November 2005 and My Tia since March 2005. They just flew out at noon today.

During their visit we went to many of the valley malls, Tempe town lake, and many stores. On Saturday though we took a day trip to Sedona. Took them to Tlaquepalque, uptown Sedona, the chapel that's on the mountain, and other shops. We also went to Red Rock Farmers Market where we got Five Amigos Fire Roasted Pepper Salsa for our cookout on Sunday. My Tia's B-day is in a couple of weeks so we got her a cake and had a bbq for her while she was here. So, I think I am starting to like Sedona a whole lot. Hope I can take more trips more often to Sedona. You should visit Sedona. There are awesome shops, food, resorts, spas, plane and helicopter rides, jeep rides, is considered a spiritual mecca, and have a whole lot of different types of tours and a whole lot more.

I think I most enjoyed our trip to Sedona. It was cloudy and on our ride back here were pockets during the road where it was raining so hard you couldn't see the car in front.

Yesterday we went to see Pirates, and it is really good. After 2 1/2 hours I didn't want it to end and now I have to wait until the next installment comes out 'cause I am hooked.

On another note. I think what I like is embellishing. I'm not scraping, but every time I go to a store that has stickers, paper, ribbons, stamps, etc. I want to get them. I am no longer buying stuff to scrapbook, the stuff I had went to Amy, but I think I am going to occasionally get stuff that looks neat to use for cards.

I have been thinking also of shaving my hair off again. doing so would certainly be good right now that it's getting hotter and hotter, but it would mean me maintaining facial hair. I just don't look good without any hair and no facial hair.

Tomorrow it's back to work. Hope the new system that was being implemented is not so troublesome as it seems to have been the first few days.

Looks like you are trying to run a country...

Found this funny picture at this site.

Even more...

I was originally going to get 2 hamsters, however there was just one hamster I liked at the pet store when I went. I got a black female hamster. Named her Blackie. When I got her she had a big belly, however she is not overly fat just her belly. The first thing I did after waking up today is check up on her. I peered into her lavish enclosure that I made for her. I have swirls of tubing and so far one spacious above cage condo, where the last couple of days she had been making her own. She brought up shavings and food. I was still half asleep while looking inside today, but there seemed to be something moving in her condo along her side. I cleared my blurry sleepy vision and took a good look and there they were, 6 tiny hairless hamsters. Apparently that big belly of hers was not from eating but she was pregnant. At the pet store they keep the females separate from the males. This one must have gotten pregnant before separated. So I am overjoyed. She keeps them in the condo section which worries me a bit as they are starting to move a bit and then periodically they fall down through the tube. Doesn't seem to hurt them as they land on the bottom shavings but then Blackie goes down and takes them back up. She takes a drink of water and stays up with them. Then they fall down again. This has been repeating itself several times already. All but one are calm. There is one that she struggles to grab and take back up. I have a feeling that one is going to be feisty. I hope they all do survive. I have never had hamster babies, I am going to trust that the momma, Blackie, knows what she's doing and not bother her.

New Family Members...

The original blog date for this post is Monday, July 24, 2006. I have several blog locations and I usually blog on one and then repeat the blog immediately on the other two but the last few blogs stayed only at my myspace.com blog. So here is one that I should add to this one:

Still Purging...

So I am still working on reducing the amount of stuff that I have. Mostly the things that I don't use and is just stored away. Some of it is going to the trash. Some of it is going to Good Will. Some scrapbooking stuff is going toAmy. I have decided that sbing takes too much time, money , and Space for me to dedicate the time it deserves.
Amy suggested today as I mentioned at work just sticking to regular albums to doing online/digital sbing. Great idea and I may do that at one point. Right now though I am going to stick to as few as possible albums and frames and keep most, if not all, photographs in digital form. I will of course keep the negatives of my film camera days. I don't have alot of scrapbooking stuff, mostly paper, and a few things here and there from a basket I won several years ago.

Anyone have any space saving ideas/tips?


This next section is from Saturday, July 29, 2006 and it goes:



nothing...

So today I am cleaning and doing such errand as shopping for cleaning supplies, groceries, oh and a trip to GoodWill. I have a box full of stuff to give away. I am so glad I have continued to do good in clearing away stuff that I don't need. I saw a show on TLC yesterday about a couple who moved into their house and have had stuff in boxes in their living room for a year. So makes me feel good to know I am not the only one who has boxes full of stuff. On that note, I have a box full of rodent tunnels and a wheel. I used to have a hamster several years back. So if anybody wants them or knows someone who does let me know. Anyways here is a fun site of Singing Horses.


Ok, so the reason the previous 2 posts are needed is because as I have cleared boxes of stuff, I went back to look at the box full of hamster tunnels, etc. and started playing with them, put together some of them. So now I want to go get a hamster or two and have this awesome tunnel system for them. I was thinking of getting three cages one for each and an extra one where I would sneak in special treats for them. So I am no longer in need of giving away my hamster stuff, but it will not remain boxed up either. So I am off to the pet store in a couple of hours. Now I just have to make sure that Aaron's cats don't get to them...
