Nerds With Birds

My goodness it has been a week since my last post. I think I lost a few days :) Anyways I’ve got a lot to share so I think I’ll keep my regular simple format and try to keep it shorter than a novel - maybe *L*

(Kids) CODY GOT IT AT YORK! I am so excited - you have no idea *L* I really wanted him to go to school there. I just really like the staff, school and just everything. I was stressing hard core when I hadn’t received anything last Friday…they start school this Thurs. So I called Monday afternoon and was told “He’s IN! Be here at 6:30 for Kindergarten orientation” hehe kinda short notice but I don’t even mind. I am so thankful he is in and I can stop worrying about it. I like the teacher that he got - I think he will have a great year. So I’m utterly thrilled…can you tell?! *LOL*

(Life) I started college last week. I was nervous and you know what? I should have been. I had a great time and I think this will work out good. I only go 2 days a week but I have 3 classes so I’m gone from 5 to 10pm (kinda late) but it’s working so far. I like my English teacher - she seems really cool and down to earth. My math teacher is alright - she assigns the most as far as homework *L* and my computer teacher is cool - he’s always making jokes in class. I’ve met a few friends which is nice and I found out that I’m not the oldest - which was a fear of mine *L* So I don’t feel super out of place. So far so good.

(Farm) That darn rabbit! No freaking babies. I think she’s doing it on purpose now *LOL* ok so maybe that’s going a little to far but she is tripping me out. We bred them again on 8/14 so IF this takes it should be around 9/14. I refuse to get excited again and this will be the only mention of it until and IF she has any. The girls (chickens) are ALL laying now *woohoo* So we get 1 blue egg, 1 brown egg, 1 white egg darn near everyday. I had almost forgot how nice it was to not have to buy eggs ;) The Quail’s are laying an average of 15 a day now. It’s funny because we took my dad some quail when we went to see him and he has a few eggs in an inky right now to *L* We still have 119 (1 was apparently cracked) in the inky. We removed the turner yesterday and are expecting them to hatch out Thurs night/Friday morning so we shall see. I’m hoping for a good hatch. Jay never did get the software set up so we dont have the cam up - I’ve been nagging him but he’s running short on time so I cant gripe to much. We should have a hatch every month though depending on how everything goes Sat. We will be going to the animal swap and see what the market is for quail and kinda go from there.
(Garden) Garden? I have a garden? Oh my goodness…my pretty garden is basically gone. The plants are all wilted and looking terrible and have (basically) stopped producing fruit. My tomatoes are the only ones that have anything and they keep getting stolen by squirrels. Nothing like watching a squirrel attempt to carry a tomato the siize of its head across the fence and up the tree. It’s amusing *L*

(Contests/Freebies) I havent really been playing. I just played once and happened to win from a coke contest 200 coke rewards points, so that was neat. I got a freebie in the mail from annolon - it’s a 5 1/2in Satoku knife. Jay likes it :) Another good freebie came from Marlboro. It’s a really nice flashlight/floodlight. It’s pretty good size and it really bright so that was an awesome freebie to. We got several different samples of coffee, deodorant, mouthwash, shampoo and lotion throughout last week.

(Misc) I have to talk about the moth for a minute. So we have this giant moth(it’s like 3in long) who apparently decided that my porch is a nice place to live. The 1st night he was stuck to the outside of the screen door. So I showed him off to the kids but made sure he was disturbed or messed with. I just figured he got tired and wound up there. Over the next 3-4 days I saw him stuck in different spots each day. Each day I take the kids outside and we try and find his resting spot. By the 8th day (today) I figured he likes us and has chosen to stay *L* SOOO I took him picture and since I talked about him here he is officially another pet *lmao* but I don’t have to feed this one! On a totally different subject Jay found a truck that he “HAS TO HAVE” *LOL* So he took a picture of it. It’s little red express truck. I’m not even sure what they want for it but I know he wants it. Let’s see..what else? I found a brownie pan that I simply MUST have!*hint hint for my birthday* hahaha It’s an edge/corner ONLY brownie pan! It’s good to know there are people out there like me who don’t like the middle of the pan brownies *LOL* OH I finally caught the darn shark in my Animal Crossing WW (Nintendo DS) *woohoo* Yeah I know the simplest things amuse me ;)

So much for keeping this short eh? ;)
