So *this* isn't studying, is it?

Yes the gym didn't kill me - it was rather nice actually.
I'm going to try to go first thing in the morning tomorrow so I can start the day off right, as opposed to eating 3 chocolate chip cookies for breakfast (yes, I know, in the earlier post it was only two, but... they were just sitting there.


Got The Kid a hamster tonight. Oh, the TRAUMA of it all. We went to the first pet store and there was a cage of hamsters, and the jerk who was working there didn't have a CLUE about them. He got them all worked up trying to grab one, and then when I got a hold of it the stupid thing jumped out of my arms and fell on the floor. (For those of you who don't know anything about hamsters - this will kill a hamster.) So the poor thing will probably die shortly and I feel HORRIBLE about it. Dick was no comfort, teased me until I felt worse. (nice, huh) anyway, we went to another pet store where the clerk had more than a clue and we found a very sweet little brown faced hamster who is now residing in a cage on the kid's night table - named.... Buttercup, after the movie The Princess Bride.





Got a call a little while ago from a gymnastics mother. Apparently Jess told her daughter that she wanted to quit gymnastics. God this sport will be the DEATH of me. We had a talk and she said she doesn't want to quit, just that they were doing hard stuff and she was getting annoyed when she said it. (much eye rolling) Whatever.

Another mid-term tomorrow - Applied Marketing and I have ZERO desire to do any work. Apparently the faculty has voted to strike so I don't know how much it will matter in the end anyway.

And finally, I'm going to start with a .wav thing on my website. I'll post the link later and we'll see how we do. If you want to record your voice and send me a .wav, I'll post it on my website as well and advise you of the link - but more about this later.


In the meantime, things to do before bed:

Study (duh!)
Get gym clothes and work clothes ready for the morning
Get child's stuff ready for the morning (clothes/lunch/etc.)
I think thats it.
Well, actually, that's enough.
Oh wait. Another thing to do = take self portrate of me in my glasses to use as my 'school' user picture.
Well, maybe that can wait... I'll just use mullett man instead for the time being. (I know he's a favorite!)

I have a hamster too!!! First off, you prbab;y got pine or cedar bedding right??
First thing tomorrow, go buy Aspen bedding... the other kinds will kill the darling.
Second, make sure the wheel is solid and doesn't have metals bars for running... their feet get caught and they break their necks.

I think that's the most of it for now... pet stores know jack about hamsters and other rodents... they use them for snake food mostly. :(

Got the shavings that came prepackaged with the cage - and they'll do for the time being -- I knew about cedar, but I didn't know about pine. Thanks for the tip!

I'll post a picture shortly. She is rather cute.

Hm. My last hamster lived four years, the two previous two years each, and the first one a week (but we didn't know anything about hamsters then, and he was sick when we got him, having been kept in a tank with thirty other hamsters, stupid, stupid pet store), and they all lived quite happily in cedar shavings.

I wouldn't worry too much about the skydiving hamsters. Mine made quite a few kamikaze leaps and survived quite happily.

Also... toilet paper rolls and kitchen towel rolls will make your hamster very happy. One can run through them, hide in them, and chew on them. Just make sure they're the brown ones, though, because bleach isn't very healthy.

My next hamster will be named Godzilla. *nod* He will be friends with Mothma the budgie.
