Pardon my nubs...

Pardon my nubs... it was time to shorten them. I broke a few and was like "Screw this." LOL

So... ugly Christmas sweater? Wrapping paper? What do you think?

Woke up with a bad headache.

Woke up with a bad headache.  I hope I am not getting sick again.  🙁

Tonight is Shadow's choir concert... and I still need to get him a red shirt with a collar and some buttons.  Not all the way button down, though.  The paper says "golf style" - whatever that means.  Where the hell do you find that?  They did not have one at Wal-Mart last night.

No, really - tell me - because I need to pick one up on my lunch break.

You can tell I'm not into shopping.  LOL

So... Shadow's in the talent show! 😃

So... Shadow's in the talent show! 😃

(He is beatboxing - but I am not supposed to know that. He won't tell me - he's being all shy. If one of the judges hadn't bumped into me when I was out and about and told me that he'd wowed all of the judges at the tryouts I wouldn't even know. So keep it on the downlow! 😉)

Oh, the random shit you think of when you are falling asleep at 3 a.m...

Oh, the random shit you think of when you are falling asleep at 3 a.m.

Someone remind me later this morning that my earring is in the refrigerator. I am warm and cozy and I'm not getting up to get it right now.

[Y'all - there is ACTUALLY a logical explanation for that. At least, according to my brain it is logical. 😛

So, I found out that I lost one of my earrings the other day and I figured I should replace it. Well, we had to drive a few places to find one that was similar, but we finally did, and yay. I tried to put it in my ear, but it wasn't working out (I use a nose screw in my cartilage because I don't like sleeping on earring backs), so it's not exactly easy to get it put in. So I was like, "Meh, I'll do this when I get home."

Since we were out and about in Oxford and were getting hungry we decided to go eat before we went home. Since the earring was so tiny and I didn't want to lose it I sat it on the dash of the car while we were eating. Well after we ate when we were on the way home, I thought "I'm gonna stab this into my take-out box so I don't drop it." Seemed like a safe place. And then I put it in my fridge because I totally forgot about it. But, it's still there - so technically my plan worked. Go me! 😃]

Roach Pics!

Some roachy love! ❤

See that thing sticking out of her back end? That is her ootheca, or egg sac. She's pregnant! It pokes out sometimes. I don't know the whole process, but they actually have live young.

See the pretty light-colored guy? He molted recently, and his shell hasn't hardened back up. When he's brown, he'll be all crunchy again.

I have honestly NO CLUE how many roaches I have... but I had probably 15 of these egg crates stacked together, and every time I pulled one away from the bundle, there were about that many roaches in between. So, I guess a million or so. 😛

If anyone needs roaches for your lizards, let me know. I think I can sustain my girls plus some off of my colony now. 🙂

So... me and Shaun have not been to sleep yet.

So... me and Shaun have not been to sleep yet.  That is not as sexy as it sounds, but I did have fun!

He stayed up working on my bike - putting on my new shifters.  I cleaned my roach tote all by myself.  We accomplished things!  😃

I took out almost all of the man roaches because they can fight and stress the females.  I will feed them to my lizards - unless anyone else needs them.  I am GOOD on roaches.  🙂  For the first time ever in real life I got to see how roach babies are made.  I have some pretty cool photos.  I will upload them, hopefully sometime this weekend.

Anyway... I think that it is about time for me to call it a night.  At almost 7 am.  😛

Good things from today:

Good things from today:

Went to House of Chen and had an ass-ton of tea.  😃

Got my bike back from Dick's.  It is supposedly all fixed up, but it's dark and rainy so I haven't tried it.  Maybe this weekend...

My ass bruise is fading.  It still hurts, though.

I am about to clean out my roach tote.  And it makes me happy.  😃  I have a bazillion roaches, I am pretty sure.  ❤
