I thought it would be a good idea...

I thought it would be a good idea for Chupa to play with another doggie so I introduced her to Emma. They got along just fine. Here is a photo of them taking a break. 😛

I am heading to bed shortly. Wish me luck. 😟

I am heading to bed shortly.  Wish me luck.  😟

I had nightmares last night.  Or one long one, really.  I don't usually remember dreams and for that - I am thankful.  Last night's was weird.  I'll tell you.

SO... I had this big group of girlfriends (which is SO not IRL me).  We were going to this vacation house which was like, a lake house.  For whatever reason we had an activity planned.  That activity was shooting each other with harpoons.

So we get there and start hunting each other and the first girl gets shot, and then about half of us decide that is a bad idea.  But the other half wants to keep going.  And we, (for whatever reason), can't just leave (unless you get harpooned.  That means you HAVE to leave.)  So we're just there - hunting and fighting and hiding, trying to harpoon our friends, but not get harpooned.

Before I go any further let me just say that we weren't FATALLY harpooning each other.  We were going for like, arms and legs.  So there were rules.

So that was scary as hell.  Even though these girls were my friends I didn't know who I could trust.  I think I hid under the porch a lot.

Anyway, on the inside of the house we had dead Michael Jackson in a box.  But not like, embalmed MJ.  It was like, slimy, rotting-in-a-glass-box MJ.  I think we were going to try to Frankenstein him or something, but I am not certain.  I woke up before I got there.

Here's hoping that I DON'T finish that dream.  😳

The rest of the house is back to normal.

The rest of the house is back to normal.  My room is ALMOST finished.  I just have a couple of boxes left of things to put away.  THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT.  I HAVE FOUND MY SANITY.

Lizard news:

I saved a floor scrap and we put that down in Mona's house today.  She had flooring down, but it was not as great as my floor.  I guess it was cheaper stuff because it stained easily and was thinner and not as pretty.  So now me and Mona having matching floors.  😃  Teyla's matches Shadow's room because we did his floor last year and had her first.  And yes - I'm well aware that I am a dork.  😂  BUT there are practical reasons for this, as well, so whatever.  😛

Koopa is all moved into his new tank.  I thought he'd freak out because it's glass, but he's not climbing the walls.  Yet, anyway.  I'll see how he's doing in a couple of days.  I like being able to see him without opening a box and looking in.  I hope he likes being able to see out.

Everything I read said that horned lizards stress easily and not to handle them, but I've been holding him more lately with the move and all of that and he seems just fine.  I've also been transferring him to a different tank to eat roaches and worms because they hide in the sand and then he can't find them to eat them.  And when I pick him up he doesn't run.  Half the time he tries to go up my arm.  That doesn't feel to me like I'm stressing him out.  He's still eating and using the bathroom.  He's still much thinner than I'd like, but I'm starting to think that after all of this time he might have a parasite or something.  I ordered him some meds, but I want to make sure he's settled before I go and give him anything. JUST IN CASE.

Anyway, that's about all I have to say.  I think I'm gonna head to the couch and do my nails.  Nothing fancy, but at least really paint them.  It's been about 2 weeks.  Now that most of my handy-work is coming to an end it might do them some good.  🙂

Just got this in an email:

Just got this in an email:

"On March 1, 2014 Alabama Fish and Wildlife rescinded their new policy. Alabama can rehabb all wildlife again! You all helped with this decision! Thank you to everyone of you for all your help! And thank you F/W for showing that you do indeed have a heart! The babies of Alabama thank you also!"

Thanks to everyone who signed and spoke out.  Opossums and raccoons all over the state thank you, as well.  ❤

My house is finally tolerable.

My house is finally tolerable. Not totally done, but I can finally relax a little. Woo!

TGIF! 😃

TGIF!  😃

Today has turned out pretty good.  I am coughing less and feel much less run down - so YAY!  Maybe I can get my house back to normal this weekend.  🙂

So there was a shelf at Target that I wanted for my room really bad... but all week they only had the display and would not sell it to me.  They kept telling me to come back.  I went Monday and Wednesday and finally they gave me the sku # and told me to call before showing up today.  So, I did.  And they said they didn't have it still.  I went anyway to get a shelf of the same build but in a different color (because it is time to get things in order - color be damned), and they DID have the one I wanted.  So WTF, Target?

I forgave them, though, because they are having a clearance on their nail polish.  I picked up some stuff that I like but wouldn't pay full price for.  I can't be mad after that.  😃

NOT ONLY THAT, but my friend Shauna surprised me with some nail goodies this past weekend, AND Ashton sent me a stash which I got in the mail today.  I picked out most of what Ashton sent, but she threw in a couple of surprise ones, so WOOHOO.  😃  I am very excited about my first Julep.  What a weird color, but I am all about it.  😃  Of course I put it on one of my nails right away.  I think it actually looks nice with my skin.  How awesome!  And it kind of smells like bananas.  Did you notice that?  😂

Anyway I guess I'm off to put up my new shelf and figure out my house situation.  I hope I get to see Shauna this weekend.  She wouldn't judge me for having stuff everywhere, but I really would prefer to have it cleaned up before anyone sees it.  I can't get to my ovens or dishwasher right now.  It's redonk.  😂

Happy Friday, peeps!

I have not a lot to say.

I have not a lot to say.  This is like, all of it:

I am ready for the weekend.  HOLY DAMN - I just want to rest.

My house is still a wreck.  I haven't had the energy to finish moving back into my room.

My porch is also a wreck because there is stuff out there that needs to go to the garage.  I don't have time to move it in the mornings and it's dark when I get home.  I might not have such a restful weekend after all.  🙁

I am still coughing and my head hurts terribly when I do it.  Other than that I feel ok.  No more nausea today.

I've been watching Cheers on Netflix and I like it a lot.  I just started season 4.

My burns are peeling and itching.  Bet you people thought I was being a weenie when I said I scalded my lap with coffee.  But I was for realz.

Later, peeps.  I am heading to the couch for another night.  Maybe by this weekend I can sleep in my bed again.  Right now I can't lay down and breathe at the same time.  Yuck.
