Bad Blogger

I suck at blogging! LOL i truly do! So hard to keep up with everyone! Well I was in Boston for the last 3 days of work, so that took time away from playing on the net! So the good news is I came home and ALL my animals were alive!!! I know I was only gone 3 days but I still worried!!!

So today I will head to the petstore and get my crickets and everyone should be happy! I still want to get another newt!!!! I just now hate to get another one especially if it's sick or agressive and it will hurt the one I have. I just am ready to move on to another new thing! lol I so need a life!!! LOL

Oh, so today I come back from being gone and I open my desk and I find a 1/2 eaten cereal bar I left in my desk! Um, guess who ate it??? A FRIGGEN MOUSE!!!!! That is so damn nasty! I MOUSE actually got into my desk drawer, ate through the wrapper and ate 1/2 the cereal bar! Completely grossed out, had a bunch of mouse shit all over the drawer! YUCK! SO that was my exciting day! Always me this happens too! In the 5 years i've worked here for 5 years and NEVER had a mouse eat anything in my drawer! Absolutely nasty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Almost a fatal catastrophe

So this weekend, i'm laying around reading a book, and i happened to glance over at my newt tank, and i see bubbles. lots of bubbles soap bubbles, now the last time i checked i did not give shrek soap to take a bubble bath. So i'm not sure if i had to much de-cholorination solution in the ice-cubes i dropped into the water or water. Anyway, poor shrek was on the rock panicking not knowing where to go, thank god i was up and seen this or he would have died! so i grabbed him out of the tank, put him in a different tank and cleaned out the other tank and now everything is okay! but man, i was panicked there for a little while! so that was my exciting weekend. i was actually thinking of calling the store where i bought him from and see if he has any more left, and maybe i'd buy another one so he has a friend. i just hate that he's all alone. but we'll see, i really don't need to spend any more money on these damn things! lol but they are so cute!!!! lol

Happy Saturday

I'm sooooooooooo glad the weekend is finally here! I got up early this morning cleaned, vaccumed, dusted. Just getting a lot accomplished already! Went and bought all the crickets today! 75 crickets! That's a hell of a lot of crickets! Everyone ate and should be stuffed and well off until next week now!!!

Shrek is still alive and kicking! Im glad about that. I'm going to go and test all the water in all the tanks and see what their levels are and make sure everyone is okay. Tomorrow i'll do a 1/2 clean on all the tanks just grab a lot of the poop out more than anything.

Other than that, i'm just going to spend the rest of the weekend reading!!!!!!

Wow another day of blogging

amazing, it's like what 2 days of blogging! must be an all time first for me! lmao! So as of today everyone is a live and hopping! Shrek was eating more worms so I feel good about that! Seems like he might be out of the woods now. We'll see, not getting my hopes up. I have one new frog that seems to be spazzing out in the tank, hopefully she will calm down. Other than that, now i'm dipping my hands into the world of myspace. we'll see how that works out. i'm not a good blogger, so i'm not sure i'll be a good myspacer! lol i can't even keep up with facebook! why can't people just email me! it would make it so much easier! lol

It's a boy, girl, girl, girl!




Well I was hoping for more males this time, but we've added 4 more frogs to the collection! This I believe is Cody, Lilly and Ollie and the top one is Katie! lol Gracie picks out the names not me! So, we now have 10 frogs in our collection, 1 newt, 1 betta and 2 goldfish!

Life always continues

I told Gracie last night that Donkey died, she was upset maybe about 2 min and then I told her how I moved Shrek into the little tank, and with that eyes light up and she says, "oh we can get a turtle now" lol

No turtle yet, we're going to get fish for the tank. Then in October there is going to be reptile show by my house, so we will go there and get a turtle. So, that's my game plan as of now. I have a list of a bunch of different fish we may or maynot get tonight! lol Just depends, I figured in a 20 gal tank i could probably do 10 that would fit comfortably.

Anyway, that's what we've decided to do, and it'll be freshwater not saltwater. Those take a lot of time and patience and too much work for me! I want something I can throw food at and be done.

So, speaking of Shrek from before, he took a POOP!!!! that is just a great thing to me!!! That means he ate either is live work or frozen worms. Not sure which one, don't really care, long as he's eating, we're all okay!!!! So, i'm hoping I go home to find more poops in the tank!!! That would be wondeful!!!

That's my exciting day!

RIP Donkey

Well, this weekend Donkey passed away! I'd had him less than a week. I feel really bad, but I'm thinking with no foot he was sick and it's probably best. So, I moved Shrek into a new tank with clean water and hopefully he will survive. I have the tank wrapped in a towel to keep it dark to help de-stress him.

So, now I have a 20gal tank open again! So, maybe we'll get a turtle. I i'm researching turtles to see what the best kind is to get. I'm not sure if I want a water or land. I'm thinking water, cause I hate dealing with all that moss and crap you have to put in the tank. So we'll see. I have to get the shop-vac and clean out the tank and wash it all out. For a turtle i'll need basking lights/basking docks/ another new filter/possible heater. So, here's another 100.00 of crap! lol

Anyway, we'll see what happens.
