Animals

So these are the current animals in my life. Well, most of them. This is my family's faithful dog Bandit. Besides being an old fogie, he likes to lick people, take long rides in the car, and give you those puppy dog eyes when he wants to be pet. Then there is my horse Hadem. (Huh-dem) He's an Arabian and the sweestest horse I've ever met. He'll Play tug-o-war with your clothes, he loves shoes and often gives hugs. Then I have my Beta Montano. I think I've had him for over a year now. Can't remember. This picture is a bit fuzzy, but he has a beautiful mixture of red and blue color. He also has red spots in his mottom fin and leopard-like blue spots on his top fins. Now I hope you're sitting down. Most likely. This is Puff Daddy. He was my first Green Spotted Puffer fish. And yes, I said was. He got really sick and didn't make it. That was a sad day. And here is a random picture of a HUGE lizard I saw at a store. His head was about the size of my fist, stomach was about the size of my head and was probably about 4 ft long. I call him George. Lastly I inherited some fish when I bought a new fish tank. I have 3 adult and 2 baby black mollies, some striped one that I think is prego, 2 baby mollies of other color and a ton of snails. (puffer food) Don't have pics of those ones. Stay tuned for more animal pics from mine and Lindsey's b-day trip to Sea World. Fun times.

Amber and Soldier

My roomate Amber being licked to death by her dog Soldier.

Mouse-capades

So I was going through the pictures on my phone and came across this ... it's a picture of the hallway outside my bedroom door and into the living room. So here's the story. I came over one night to help Amber clean her stuff out of my room so I could paint it, then move in. Well, we had a slight mouse problem at the time. So Amber and I were in the room moving things out when I hear her scream bloody murder. I turn around to see what happened and she's pointing at the ground going, "Mouse! Mouse"! We cleared that room in about .2 seconds. Hence the mess in the hallway. We trapped the mouse underneith a luggage bag and barracaded it with cardboard boxes. This is about the time that Garna got home from the gym. This became a perfect roomate story that will last through all time. We emptied out a laundry hamper, got a piece of cardboard, and a painting on hard board. Amber's one and only job was to block the space under the door with the painting. Garna was to move the luggage bag, and I was to trap the mouse under the hamper. Much running, screaming and laughter ensued. Fun was had by all... I'm sure. So after the mouse ran around the room a few times, jumped on Amber, and ran under the other boxes, I finally got it under the hamper. We then proceeded to slip the cardboard piece under the hamper and flipped it over. The mouse, as we named his Sylar(yes for those of you who watch Heroes), was now inside the hamper where he couldn't escape. Amber went into her room while Garna and I went outside to, um, take care of little Sylar. This was difficult. First off he was really cute. We wanted to just let him go, but his leg was hurt, and we figured he would just find a way to get back inside somehow. So, we put a trap down into the hamper, but it went off as soon as it was dropped in. So being the ingenious people that we are, I used the cardboard piece to block Sylar on one side while Garna lowered it to the bottom. We then sat there for a while watching him to see if he would take the bait. He didn't budge, so I nudged the hamper. I walked right up ontop of the trap and started eating the peanut butter. This is him sitting on the trap.Grrrr. So finally I nudged the hamper one more time, and it got him. Didn't take a picture of that. I couldn't watch. I also heard a scream coming from Amber's room right when it went off. It was pretty funny. I did feel kind of bad for ending his little life in such a way, but I didn't feel so bad anymore when we cought 10 of his other siblings in our house after I moved it. One we actually cought about 10 minutes after we set a trap. Going after the dog food. Well, haven't seen many more lately, but they are probably still around somewhere. I hate mice!

All good things must come to an end... ie the clean up

So after a month run of Crazy For You and then another week of follies, we finally got to clean up and strike the show. And boy did it take forever. It started with almost 200 pieces going to the cleaners, seperating shoes into the correct bins, suspenders galore, probably about 10 or so loads of laundry, and packing up the costumes into the correct wardrobe boxes to go on the truck. And we weren't just throwing things in the boxes, everything had to be counted and put into it's own designated box. Not to meantion that most of them were falling apart. I hate carboard. Then the huge finale costumes had to be bubble wraped and packed into two large crates. And yes, Lexy is in the crate. So after a few days of that, we got to load everything into a 50 foot semi, that was over 2 hours late. We filled the entire thing, right up to the back doors. Had to actually move a few chairs to get the door shut. I don't think there was a single sad face in the building that day when the truck drove off. We were all happy to see it go. It was fun while it lasted, but I'm glad it's over. It completely wore me out. So here are a few pictures of shoe painting for the show and my costume plot that took me hours. Yes it's about 10 pages taped together.

My new toy

So out of no where my mom called me and gave me a proposal... their nextdoor neighboor is a car dealer and found a car. We have some friends who needed a car, so we gave them mine and I got to up grade mine. I'm now the proud owner of a 2002 Dodge Stratus. It's awesome. Only bad thing about it is that it doesn't have a built in cd player. So I broke out the old disc man and hooked it up with an adapter. Not my favorite thing, but a new stereo will come in time when I have the money to do it. I'll live for now. But the best part is... I got it for $2,800. I only have to pay half of that in compensation for my old car. Heck yes. I love it. And I got a new liscense plate. I think it's me. Wouldn't you say so?
