Stupid Things I Did Today

Just to show everyone how much of a dork I really am, today after I had shut down my computer and was getting ready to leave work, I went to turn off the light above my computer and turned on the computer instead.

And this morning as I was leaving for work, I "found" my sunglasses on the 3rd peg on my key/mail holder, exactly where they had been hanging since Saturday. I went to work on Monday thinking I had lost them, because they are usually hanging on the 1st peg along with my keys. Had I looked a little to the right, I would have seen them. I really need to start seeing the big picture.

Not only am I a dork, I am a blind dork!

Long time, no blog

Ok, so I know it's been a while since I have blogged, but for a while my internet connection sucked! The Bright House guy came out and replaced my modem, so I am back in business

I had a super busy weekend. I went Christmas shopping on Friday...pretty much all day. Went to Target, Borders, the Gold Crown store, PetCo, Barnes and Nobles...everywhere! But I got pretty much all of it done that day. Then I came home and did some online shopping. Then all evening I spent hot gluing ornaments together. Big fun - hehe. By the time I was done, it was near midnight and I was tired! But I stayed up and watched some tv, and by the time I went to bed, it was almost 3 am.

Saturday, oh my lord! I went to Michaels because I had forgotten to buy more glue sticks (DUH!). Big mistake. It was hella busy, and just dealing with the parking lot was enough to raise my blood pressure sky high. By the time I found a place to park, I was fuming mad! lol. People just don't know how to friggin' drive! But I got what I went there for and went to a few more places and then went home.

Then, the guinea pig cage saga began. About 2 weeks ago, I had ordered this plastic bottom to make a cage out of for my lil Punkin, since she needed a bigger house. Well, apparently the seller got the address wrong, because when I called UPS to check on the package status, it said it had been delivered...to someone named Scott. Well, it turns out the seller put the wrong apartment number on the box. The UPS lady told me what apt it went to, so I went to that apartment to see if the dude was home.

Now, there is this dude in my apartment complex, who, like the building, is, well , complex. He can be seen around the building walking and talking to himself. Well, it is more like cussing to himself. I have heard him on several occasions telling himself that he is gonna "kill em all." (who "em all" is, I am not sure. I just hope I am not one of them - hehe). Well I often refer to him as my "scary neighbor." When I was walking to the door of the dude who got my package's apartment, I was just praying it wasn't the scary neighbor. It was. Yikes. But he gave the package to me after I told him who I was and what had happened. Turns out scary neighbor wasn't so scary after all.

Well putting the damned cage together wasn't so hard. It was just labor intensive - lol. I had to move all the furniture and stuff on the right side of the living room to the left side and vice versa. It took a while - lol. The I had to put the cage together, which was a source of pain for me, since I pinched my damned fingers between the wire panels on several occasions. But, all in all, it wasn't so bad, and Punkin is much happier now in her deluxe condo This is how it looks...



It has a loft and a ramp (which I made - hehe) and everything. Pretty nice digs, huh?

Well, after I built the cage and stuff, Alicia, Alana and I went out to Don Perico's and had some dinner. I was starvin' by that time, and my head was pounding. But the food was yummy. I even had some left over for lunch the next day.

Well, sometime during the night, Peanut, one of my hamsters, managed to become an escape artist and got out of his cage. I noticed he was missing on Sunday morning, and I, once again, had to move furniture around in an effort to find the little critter. After ruling out my bedroom, the bathroom and most all of the furniture in the living room, I figured he was either 1) under the fridge, or 2) under my entertainment center...neifher of which I even attempted to move (that would have resulted in another strained back muscle....which I had already managed to do earlier in the week... or perhaps broken bones - lol).

I set out some food in the middle of the living room with a trail of it leading up the cage door, hoping he would follow it into the cage. Well, around 10:30 pm, I walked out to the living room to get some paper and low and behold, there was little Peanut, munching away on some carrots I had left out for him. I put him back in his cage and made sure it was escape proof this time. I don't want to move any more damned furniture!!!!!!!!

Today after work, I went by Petco to get a little bed for the mini monsters, Flip and Truffle (the dwarf hamsters), and I saw the cutest guinea pig. I have been meaning to get a friend for Punkin, since they are social critters and like the company of another piggy, so I bought her and took her home. Her name is Cuddles, and here she is....







She is super sweet and also super shy. But she will be a good playmate for Punkin, who I am sure is lonely. I have to keep her isolated for a few weeks, just to make sure she doesn't get sick or anything. So right now, she is occupying Punkin's old house.

Oh, this is Flip, one of the dwarf hamsters...



(Truffle looks just like him - lol)

And here is Pretzel...



I got him after Lil Oreo died. He is a cutie and is just as sweet as Peanut.

Well, that is all I have to report for now - lol.
