Nerds With Birds

(Farm) I’m pretty sure the bunny is preggo again. She is plumping out and being lazy. She doesnt even bother to try and bite me when I’m messing with her cage (which is nice!) The quails are getting big. We split them up into 3 cages now so the smell and mess isnt as bad but they still stink and I cant wait until 1/2 are gone ;) No eggs from the chickens yet. I’m expecting them to lay any day now. Zsa Zsa is doing good. She has full run of the house during the day and is locked in her room at night mainly so she doesn’t wake the kids. She has turned out to be a really great pet.

(Kids) Cody & Emily have been swimming and jumping on the trampoline for days now. The second we get up it’s “can we go outside?” and if it isn’t that it’s “can we play the Wii?” *LOL* They have been having alot of fun this summer just playing and being kids.

(Garden) Everything is growing! I have about 15 cucumbers started and no less than 20 grape tomatoes :) The chilli’s are starting to get blooms and the other tomato plants are chugging along with 3-4 tomatoes on each of them. The strawberries are growing but as soon as they start to get a pink hue to them the bugs find it and they are gone by morning *L* but they are growing. We planted a pumpkin plant and it seems to be doing ok so far. We also have a few wild mushrooms that had sprouted up - no I wont be eating them but I do like to watch them grow *LOL*

(Life) I’m suppose to go tomorrow and take my college placement test (wish me luck!) so we shall see how that goes. I went grocery shopping by myself and was so proud. I saved 45.87 using coupons. It’s such a pain to clip and keep track and check expiration dates but it makes it worth it when I see the savings. So that made me happy. Not a super eventful few days but ahh such is life ;)

(Contests) Well I started playing my instant win games after taking 6 months off. I really like to play and of course I really like to win. The problem was that I played so many (I was entering no less than 300 contests every night!) that I became bored with winning. I know - that sounds so dumb, but I did. I would win and think “well that’s ok, wish it was … prize instead” and I hated to be like that because it’s hard to win anything. It’s basically all about timing. You play at the right time and you win - that’s the secret. I usually take a screenshot of my screen when I win so I added a new “contest” picture section, and I will add anything I win here :) I posted my wins from the other day when I played so I just need to update tonights wins: AC Delco Cooler (ARV $20) & Transformers Poster (ARV$?) & Koolaid man stickers (ARV?)

(Hobby) I’ve been sewing this week. I did a few more re-fashion items this week. Mainly I made 2 more pairs of capri’s. I really like my green ones. I had such a hard time tweaking them and getting them to do what I wanted them to do *L* but they look great (I think) and they are really comfy! Bonus! *L*

(Website) I’ve added more pictures (Farm, Summer 07, Crafts, Contests) and I posted a few times this week. I also added a new list item “contest” to the update posts. I’m hoping to get back into the groove with that and this will give me some motivation to fill some more space here ;)
