Well, I guess Spring Break is officially over.

Well, I guess Spring Break is officially over.  I'm really glad to be getting back to classes, but I hate that I didn't get more done around the house.  Everything is all nice and cleaned up, but you know - there are always projects to tackle.  😕

Anyway, goodnight, everyone.  I hope you all had a nice Easter.  Don't forget that I'm up for taking those extra plastic eggs off your hands if you don't need them.  ❤

Someone decided to take a bath all by himself!

Someone decided to take a bath all by himself! Nom, (that's what I'm calling him because he likes to eat!) has been sleeping a lot since he got here. Basically, that's all he's been doing aside from eating. I noticed yesterday that he has wet eyes so I think he might not be feeling great. It's probably just stress from being relocated so many times within a week so hopefully he feels better soon. Anyway, it made me happy to see him soaking himself. Maybe he'll be ready to walk around and explore later this week. 🙂

There is about to be a fight in my house.

There is about to be a fight in my house.  SOMEBODY needs to tell these boys that "Tort Baby" is a good name!

We were trying to figure out a name for the big tort and Shaun said that they should be Eustace and Muriel (like from Courage the Cowardly Dog).  He says because torts look like old people and because Tort Baby is grumpy.  Tort Baby is NOT grumpy!  Stubborn - yes, but he's my young sexy boy.  I don't even know what is happening right now.  😳

If any of my Easter-celebrating friends...

If any of my Easter-celebrating friends have any of those plastic eggs left over after this weekend I would like to have them, please.  🙂  (As long as you don't need or want them.  I can buy my own if I need to.)

Thank you, and Happy Hunting!  😃

Found Itty.

Found Itty.  I brushed him off just enough that he could feel the sun on his shell.  He's outside with food, sun, shelter, and a very shallow plate of water.  I'm hoping that makes him feel wonderful.  🙂


Itty seems to be enjoying his bath!

Itty seems to be enjoying his bath!  He's not trying to get out - just chilling against the side.  Why not?  🙂


I'm a mean old tort mommy, y'all.

I'm a mean old tort mommy, y'all.  At least - that is what I think Tort Baby was telling me this morning with his grumpy face.  😂

Tort Baby had been out walking yesterday, (as he does every day), but instead of falling asleep on the couch he went behind the TV and crashed there.  I MEANT to get him out and either put him in his house or in his favorite blanket, but I was exhausted and TOTALLY forgot.  😬  I mean - he was safe and apparently comfortable enough to sleep so it's not a big deal.  But anyway.

I got up this morning and looked in his house and thought "Oh yeah.  Behind the TV."  So I get in the floor and I'm trying hard to reach him, but I can just barely touch him with my finger tip.  SO, I tickle his cute little ass (literally, his butt end) until I hear him wake up and make the hiss sound that means he's pulled into his shell.  So, knowing that I had woken him up I went away to make his breakfast.

When I came back into the room I was greeted by the cutest little grumpy tort face EVER.  He had dragged himself out from behind the TV and was just sitting there, looking up at me half-asleep, like "WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?!?"  If only I'd had my camera with me!  Maybe I will learn to keep it on me one of these days.  😂
