What is my name?

Posted by Critter under Pets

Needless to say, I am very excited about our future addition. I have yet to come up with a name, but am thinking
something along the lines of a light raspberry-ish drink name.

Currently we have:

  • Corona (snake)
  • Smirnoff (snake)
  • Jinn & Tonik (bearded dragons)
  • Jaeger (tortoise)
  • Cosmo (cat)
  • Malibu (cat)
  • Brandy (dane)

And the few non-alcoholic ones:

  • Adam & Eve (snakes)
  • Jill (iguana)

Got any suggestions?

Pssst! Mr Sandman. Over here

Just another day, right? Sure, except for the fact that it is 2:55 AM and I have been up for two hours already. After
having only been asleep for maybe 2.5 hours, at the most.

I am due to travel tomorrow evening. It’s not that I hate flying, it is just the fact that it is a major interruption to my weekly daily
routine. Add to that the fact that airplanes are just cramped and uncomfortable. Bah!

Don’t be a prick

Talon was playing the PSP while the doctor was putting the needles in.
When he
finally looked up and saw what was going on, he screamed “OMG, Daddy!!
What’s going on? Don’t let him stab you in the butt!” It was classic
Talon.

Edit:
Is my hair that damn thin up top or what? :(

Talon’s First Sparring Match

Posted by Critter under Talon


Here are a couple pictures from yesterday’s sparring
class. It was Talon’s first time to spar. He did well, except for the
whole /turning away from his opponent/ thing :), but hey… I’m
proud!

Just another monday morning

Like father, like son

This is from Talon’s teacher. It’s an end of the year summary, etc..”

Talon is a very bright child and does well academically. He should do well in first grade provided he works on his self-control and respect for the ideas of his peers. Talon wants to be in charge, which can be a good trait, but it must be done at the right time and place. Thoughtless acts get him into trouble as does his excessive talking.

Wow, 25 years earlier and you would have thought she was writing about me :)

These colors don’t run

or perhaps they do…

Remember when you had your elbows tattooed? How irritatingly painful it was everytime you bent your arm or set it down on the desk
as you typed at your computer? Ok, so perhaps you don’t. Here is what you can do. Take an
ADT. There you go, that is all you need to do.

Yesterday morning when I was changing the band-aids on my elbows I saw that they contained color. Yes, that’s what I said, color. This, in
my case, is not a good thing. It means my elbows have been so banged up that they are opened up a bit to the second layer of skin. I do believe
a retouch will be in order, for both elbows!

I purchased some elbow support braces yesterday. Not that I need support, but they will at least keep my elbows protected while they heal.

More than meets the eye!

Talon will definitely, without a doubt, want to watch this movie. Over and over and over again.

This is “supposed” to be Bumblebee. In the cartoon he was a VW Beetle. He looks a little souped up now, eh?

Some Gyn and Tonyk for Talon

Posted by Critter under Pets

It’s not what you think, I swear! We have been planning on picking these guys up once they hatched
out for ages. Well, it finally happened yesterday. I only have Gyn pictured above, Tonyk was a bit
uncooperative, and I really did not want to stress them out on their first day. They are so small,
but aren’t they cute?

So here you go buddy, these guys will be waiting here when you get back from the UK :) I’ll keep them
company until you get back.

This is great, I definitely have to get one for Talon
