hammies!

Ryan and I went and got the hamsters from my sister's house yesterday. My nephew Daniel picked them up and looked at their bellies and said "yep, these are girls."

So... Ryan and I left, not thinking about it... and on the car ride to the pet store, I said "babe... doesn't it look like the hamsters have... some extra baggage" haha... and he was like "well, I don't know really..."

Well I had to know, because I was going to name them... so we took them into the pet store with us and found this uniquely dressed woman cleaning out some rat cages, and I was like "I NEED YOUR HELP! I NEED TO KNOW THE SEX OF MY HAMSTERS!"

By the way, this woman was probably in her late 40's sporting a female mullet with multiple piercings in her ears. Just thought you should know that... anyway... She opened the cage and picked them up and said "those are little boys."

UGHHH I wanted girls, because boys pee everywhere and are stinky... but Ryan and I had already fallen in love with these two, and I wasn't about to go back and attempt to convince my 10 year old nephew that he really has no clue what the word "gender" means.

So, Ryan and I bought them food at the store and came home.

I decided on the names Spanky and Porky because I think they are the funnest names from the Little Rascals movie. =]

Spanky is crrrrazy! He's pretty good at climbing all over the cage, and he kind of bullies Porky. Porky is a gimp for now, his front right paw seems to be hurt, but not too bad... he just avoids walking on it. Other than that, it looks fine.

They're typical boys... we've had to break up a couple of fights... which leads me to believe we'll have to separate them when they get older.


LIFE AWAY FROM THE HAMSTERS....


Ryan and I went to Brother Kevin's softball game last night. His team lost, so he was kinda bummed and we didn't go bowling. Instead, we went back to Kevin and Amy's house and Kevin grilled us mini burgers! They were delicious. While we ate we watched America's Got Talent. We had a good time.

Ryan really enjoyed spending time with baby Gage. He keeps telling me how much he loves babies... I'll have to watch him or he might steal one from the church nursery!


Well, a lady from my office is out tomorrow so I have to be there at 8 instead of 1.... I better head off.

<3

to get things started...

So, Ryan and I were pretty stoked to find out that Hastings is now renting out older movies and television series on DVD for .99 cents a disc, and you can keep them for a whole week! Needless to say, we rented like 10 discs, haha.

We've started watching Smallville from the beginning, and we're really enjoying it. Ryan loves how cheesy some of the characters are... I just like looking at Clark Kent. ;]

It's super late, well, actually early... and Julie is meeting me at the YMCA in approximately 5 hours to get our morning workout done with. I believe we are going to swim laps in the pool. Fun fun! Haha, actually, I'm a terrible swimmer... but I hear that it's a good workout for all your muscles, so I figure I'll try to keep it up.

Goodness, tomorrow is going to be a long day.

I've got my morning swim to look forward to, then I'll shower and pick Ryan up from his aunt's house, then we're driving out to Grape Creek to my eldest sister's house to get my hamsters! Okay, long story short... My nephew, Daniel, got a hamster from PetCo, I believe... and well, the darn thing was preggers! hahahah, the poor thing had like a dozen babies! Little baby hammies!

Anywho... my sister said I could have one, but I'd have to take two... so... I think I'm taking two girls, so we don't have the same problem! ;]

After the hamster roundup, Ryan and I will probably go to PetCo or something to stock up on food and what not.

Then.... alas.... I have work at 1 pm. Hopefully the phones will keep busy, or the day will go by slowly.

After work, I'm meeting Ryan at Brother Kevin and Amy(great friends from church... youth pastor and his wife)'s house. We're going to Goodfellow Airforce Base to watch Kevin play a slow pitch softball game, and then we're going to go bowling. It should be a fun double date... along with their 6 month old baby. :]

Well, I suppose I should head to bed in order to prepare for the day ahead.


ta ta for now....
