I'm sitting here feeling sorry for myself. I've found two of my babies great new homes this week and I miss them terribly.
I need to remember that I still have THREE cats and TWO dogs that adore me very much. Not to mention the snakes and mice and fish. Okay, the fish don't adore me. And I guess the snakes don't really care about me either. But the mice are tame and like me. And the bigger furries do too. I'm still a "mommy". Maybe even more of a mommy now since I put the needs of my sweet babies ahead of my own wants.
Hrmm... this self-pep-talk almost worked.
*sigh*

Might as well...
...endure all the heart-ache at once.
We've talked about finding Fluffy a new home for a while now and this week we put an ad up on a local classified site. I honestly didn't think she'd be desired so quickly. With the over-flowing kitten population, an adult cat isn't normally wanted very often. I imagined updating the add weekly and spending a couple of months finding a perfect home.
Not so! I placed her profile yesterday. The first person who called didn't receive a reply from us-- we could tell she wasn't a fit. But the second woman who contacted us seems great. She asked all the right questions (i.e. "How old is she?", "Is she spayed?", "Does she get along with dogs?", etc.) and seemed very nice. I couldn't ask for more in a new owner. She even used the terms "Forever Family" and "If you'll let me have her I'd be proud to be her new Mama."
I'm sold. She can adopt me too.
It might be crazy to re-home two pets in the same week, but its not like this was a whim. And its all in the best interest of my sweeties. Losing Chloe was much harder than having Fluffy move on will be. Chloe is older and we were together a long time. She was the first dog that was mine. Fluffy is young and has her whole life ahead of her. She'll settle in and forget we ever existed. She's gonna be just fine.
And once the pain of change passes, the Haven will be just fine too.

Dream Schedule
One more shift left in my first ever 7-on week. Yes, that's right folks. I have achieved my long-desired 7-on/7-off schedule. A single 10-hour shift stands between me and an entire week off from work. A week off that isn't a long-awaited vacation but rather just the days no one will expect me in the lab.
FREAKIN' AWESOME! I technically only work half of the year.
Yes, in case no one can tell, I'm very excited.
*twirls*
On a sadder note, DH and I have decided that Chloe, the wiener, isn't doing well in our home. She'll still be a great pet for someone else. Just not us. We aren't home often enough to let her outside to go wee. She can only hold it for about 5 hours. She needs a family with a stay-at-home person who can cater to her bladder needs. We've spoke with a few local rescues and one of them has agreed to take her. They are finding her a foster home even as I type this blog entry. I'm super sad. But I know its best for her, even if I'll be doing a fair share of crying. In a small way this must be what a new mother goes through when she decides to adopt out her baby.

Random Fact Update
DH has not yet guessed which fork in our kitchen is my favorite.
Whew knew a passing blog entry would cause so much entertainment for me.

That's What She Said III
I'm having Justin's baby.
Your yogurt just spit on me.
So you stick it in the bottom and push it all the way through... It works better if you point it at someone...
Stick it in my box.

Stick it in my box.
...Pretty...
The bulbs that DH and I planted last fall are coming up and blooming all over the place.
I'm so happy that we took the time to get them in the ground! Now if only those bugs hadn't killed half our front lawn. TruGreen sprayed, so the problem is gone. But it will be a couple of weeks before we get our pretty green turf back.
Doh!
But spring is a-comin'!
I'm so happy!

Miamouse Army
My miamouse army grew by two yesterday when we went to pick up some 'lunch' for our snakes. I now have a grand total of nine. Three that look like my original baby mia and six others that are various shades of spotted. They are getting tamer now. A few let me scoop them up and hold them. The shyest of the bunch are even taking food from my hands and hopping into my palm when I have a handful of goldfish crackers to share. Who knew something so small (and potentially scary) could be so sweet and friendly.
Oochie boo.
Oochie boo.
Random Fact About Me
I have a favorite fork.
No hidden meaning there. I really do have one fork that I love above all others in our kitchen.
And I'm not even really sure why.

Finally!
I'm not one to blab about politics or controversial issues. Really... but I have to say that the following headline makes me super duper happy:
Phil Spector Guilty of Murder!
Come on, now, really. I realize that in this day and age about ANYTHING is possible, but you will never be able to convince me that a woman who is in the acting business would EVER commit suicide in the home of a stranger, mere hours after meeting him for the first time, with HIS gun by shooting herself in the face.
No way.
Nope.
Nuh uh. :::shakes head:::
I saw the pictures online of her dead body. Slumped in a chair. Her purse strap over her shoulder. What woman hunts around a stranger's mansion for a gun, picks up her purse as if she is about to leave the place and then slumps down in a chair near the exit and eats a bullet instead? That man killed her and I'm glad that a jury in California finally did the right thing and convicted a celebrity who was guilty as hell. Even if he hadn't previously chased five other women with guns or confessed to his chauffeur right afterward I'd think he was guilty.
Give that man 20+ years (the equal to a life sentence) behind bars. Give that man a hair cut. Give Lana Clarkson justice. Sweet deal.
And there it is folks, my two cents.

"That's what SHE said." II
Is your pickle delicious? (The best part about this comment regarding Matt's pickle is that he quickly reminded us that it would be what "HE" said rather than "she". Oh my!)
It's sticky. Can't get it in my mouth!
Are you going to be down there for long?
I love Cock Sauce! -------->
Oh cute. I've never seen one so small before!
Here. Touch it.

I never realized how many harmless comments could sounds so dirty! Scandal! But good for a laugh. Laughter at work makes a day fly by. Even when it involves Potty Humor.
