The Best Easter Bunny Ever!

Last Saturday, we went to Confession, Goodwill, Mass, Safeway, Walmart and Jack in the Box.  But that other stuff doesn't really matter.  It's just Goodwill that matters, because I found the best bunny in the history of Easter bunnies!  Most of him looks like a cute stuffed rabbit that a young child might get for Easter.  But there's one part on him that just brings him alive - his eyes.  So by now you're probably thinking "What could be so special about an Easter bunny's eyes?"  Ooh goody, my favorite part!  They're Red!  Isn't that awesome?  Of course, when I saw him, he seemed to be beckoning to me, resulting in I just had to get him.  He's creepy, ugly and totally amazing.  Here's a picture of him.
Oh, and thank you, Chris, for taking the picture!

Another Little Medley

Here's another medley of things that have been happening.
First off, have you ever tried typing with just your left hand when your right-handed (or vice versa)?  Well, it's very hard.  I was doing it because Scarlet was on my right hand, but that didn't last very long.  She made it a point that she wanted back in her cage.
I'm very upset with myself.  I saw my Easter gift!  Of course, last year I knew what it was, but that was different.  For anyone who's curious, my last Easter gift was a beanbag.  All I can say about this gift is that it's awesome, small and a bit scary.  I shall give no more hints until Easter.
The intriguing animal act is going well.  Our next show is March 15th.  Feel free to make a reservation, since there are still lots of openings.
Let's talk about Sara.  I think she's feeling kind of down.  This morning, I took her into bed with me and talked to her about how much she means to me and how she'll be around the longest.  She's 13 years old and box turtles can live to be 50.  She'll be around when I go to college!  Actually, college isn't that far away, so that was a bad example.  She'll be around when I get a house (maybe...)!
Now I have to clean out Ol' Sand Paper's food dish, so...I'll write again tomorrow!

Scarlet!

Yesterday, we picked up Scarlet.  She's so amazing!  These pictures tell just about everything there is to know about her.  Anything unsaid by the pictures will be written at the end.
Snow on the window of our car Sunday morning.

Taking a bath (she loves it!).


Quick little Terrarium picture.

Cricket tweezers!

Her mister.

Some of the stuff was so expensive!

Cricket cage.

Literally hanging on the couch.

Exploring the kitchen floor.

Raptor eyes!

Her lovely long tail.

She loves the kitchen mat.

Enjoying my hand.
That just about sums things up.  If I forgot to mention something vital or you have a question, just comment.
Well, until tomorrow, farewell.

A Loss of Time

In the past few days, I can't seem to find enough time to do everything. I need to get outside for a bit. If I don't take a long walk down the driveway, I'll die from lack of fresh air! Tomorrow after Mass, I'll rush outside and wrestle with Rosey. I can hardly wait!
In my frequent looks out the window, I've noticed the snow has been melting very quickly. I love snow, but after a day full of playing in it, I want it to be gone. At least I can see the ground very well, though it's not completely gone. In a few days It'll be gone and I'll be happy.

Power Outages and Pets

This morning the power went out. It stayed like that for 4 hours. Daddy turned the generator on, and at some point before he turned it off, the power went back on. The rest of the day went normally.
I haven't had time to train my pets, but I'll try to get some training in tomorrow. I've also got to race Sara. Every week I time her on a course. Basically, she just races her ghost. My goal is to get her to be the fastest turtle in the world. She's going to be a champion someday, I just know it!
My pets and I can't wait for tomorrow's blog!

Even More Snow!


My goodness! There's so much snow
out there. I've made trails that I can walk in to get to the backyard. I need to finish my snow fort by tonight, or I'll be very disappointed. The picnic table now measures 20 inches of snow on it. The snow's a lot of fun, but all be glad when it melts. The carport with the sawmill under it collapsed, and the clothesline bent. Snow can be very destructive. I'm going to have to wait until next week to see my students again. At least I gave them lots of assignments to do! I'm all finished grading, and now I don't know what to do. I guess I'll just sit here and blog... Well, here's some pictures of the snow. It's unbelievably real!

Snow!




There's so much snow! When I last checked, the picnic table had 10 1/2 inches of snow on it. It's a lot of fun, but my students had to cancel because of it. I've made some interesting snow creations. It's easy to make disgusting snowmen when you have 3 older brothers that read Calvin and Hobbes. Rosey and Bobby are enjoying the snow, especially when I'm out there. Rosey and I love wrestling and having snow fights together. Bobby just likes to run around and be chased. Well, I should probably go now, as I have to grade some essays.
