Hamsters are the cutest

Sand Painting

I know most (if not all) of you had given up on this blog but if you do check it, I saw this today and thought it was amazing.

Birthdays

So, it was Amy's turn to pick and since she turned 40 this past week birthdays is our subject. Here's the thing, I don't really like my birthdays. Amy is usually the only person (not living with me) who consistently remembers my birthday. I'm usually sick for some reason. I think my birthdays went sour when I turned 7 and had a birthday party. We didn't get birthday parties every year growing up because there were simply too many of us to have parties every year. I was sick, of course, and insisted on having the party anyway (it had already been delayed once) and barfed at the party. I don't remember much except for the fact that it sucked. They really haven't improved at all over the years.

In other birthday news, Luc will be turning one in a couple of weeks and I need to decide what kind of cake to make for him. My friend, Cresta, has a Smurf cake pan I could borrow. I also saw a cute hippo cake pan at a flea market but they wanted $5 for it and I'm not sure I want to spend $5 for a cake pan I'll use once. Any opinions?

Homesick

In some sick and twisted way this makes me miss good ole Staten Island. I really have no other reason for posting this video.

Tuesday Musings #25 --- We're back...

If money were not an issue and you had a full time caretaker, what would be your dream pet?

I hope nobody cares but I went with pets instead of pet because my dream pets would be lots of marine critters. I would have a huge aquarium with it's own little reef. Matt and I could teach TRex and LMax to snorkel in their living room. Coco might be cuddly and Samson might be entertaining but I have always loved our fish tanks the best. I could spend hours just watching the fish swim around. Fish tanks are just relaxing. We would string lights around the edge at Christmas and hang our stockings off the side with suction cup hooks. For Halloween, we'd make the fish little ghost costumes. It would be great.
Here is the guy I would hire to clean the tank for us.
This has nothing to do with anything except that I ran across this picture while looking at aquarium pictures and have a new dream car.
