IamEdgarFEEDME!

He is so funny when he's really hungry. He gets all bouncy and flappy and squawky. LOL It's adorable!

I just noticed when I was taping this that he's got a crusty foot. He tends to go and lay down after he eats, and he just poops, and then lays there. I change his paper towels often. I don't know what else to do to prevent that. I read that in the wild, he'd be hanging his butt over the edge of the nest to drop bombs. LOL But I don't have a nest. Maybe that's the problem.

I have never had to do this before, but... I wonder if it's ok to wash a bird... At least the on the feet. I will have to check into that.

I just ate an ice cream bar.

I just ate an ice cream bar. I think I'm gonna eat another.

I will probably regret that in the morning. Damn you, lactose.

This reminds me... I need to go to Publix and get some fancy special ice cream just for me. 😃

Here they are!

Here they are! Galaxy Nails have been on my list of nail things to try for ages. Seriously. I don't know why I never did them before now. They were pretty easy, and they look really nice. I'm hoping I don't have to take them off for a while. Maybe they'll last at least until the weekend.

For those who are wondering, you just paint down a base color (usually black, but I went with a metallic navy blue) and then sponge down different colors in random places. Then use a small paint brush and / or dotting tool for the stars. Most of the Galaxy Nails I've ever seen were really dark. Black as a base, then a lot of deep purples, reds and blues. I like the lighter colors. I'm not a fan of anything super dark on my nails, I've discovered.

Shaun had to correct me. He says these don't look like a galaxy. They look a like a nebula. Ok, so they're Nebula Nails, then. My bad. 😃

I cleaned my roach tote last night.

I cleaned my roach tote last night. I have honestly no clue how many roaches I have, but I'm guessing there's a lot, considering that all of the food you see pictured has disappeared in less than 24 hours. That is just... wow. I don't even have a good guesstimate, but I wish I did.

I know it's hard to tell because all of the food is covered up, but they had half of a sweet potato, 3/4 of an apple, 3 baby carrots, and a tray full of fish flake. I feel like that's a lot of food. I am pretty excited! 😃

I finally sat down and did some galaxy nails tonight.

I finally sat down and did some galaxy nails tonight. They have been on my "to do" list forEVER. I think they turned out rather pretty. They are not as dark as most of the ones I've seen, but I think I prefer that. I recently saw a pastel version that was really nice, but it was too light for my tastes. So, mine are kind of in between. Photo tomorrow! 🙂

This color is SOOO pretty.

This color is SOOO pretty. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the pink with the blue-leaning sheen. But holy cow, it STINKS. It is scented, and it smells like VERY STRONG cheap floral perfume, and I've had a headache all day. It's gotta go.

Not to mention that I can never keep my striping take stuck down on the edges for long. (I don't know why. I have tried everything. It just doesn't last.) And once it starts coming up, it's just SO COMPLETELY SATISFYING to pull that shit up. My tape didn't make it past lunch today. LOL
