Easter Fun!!

Woohoo! I'm on a list serv for Senegal Parrots and every holiday we do a gift exchange. I recieved my "easter basket" today. Turns out, my "secret sennie" is one of the people I talk to regularly off list! Her husband made Ellie a perch that she can use outside of her cage. Now she can sit in front of the computer on her own perch! She also got quite a few new toys and some treats too! I just had to share with everyone! I was so excited to recieve it today! I didn't even send out mine until today! I used a "secret" email to let the girl know that her eater basket was on the way. I sent her a few toys and some treats as well. I can't wait till the next holiday that we do this! It was soooo much fun!

Hope everyone's Easter went well. Mine was the same as every year. Went to grandparents house for lunch (even though they still call it supper at noon). Chatted with the relatives for a while. My grandpa is looking a little better than the last time I saw him. He's become pretty depressed since they removed a portion of his lung and he's still in a lot of pain. I cut our visit a little shorter than usual this year though. I've been "partying" a little more than usual lately and it's drained my blood of iron. Plus, I didn't take it two days this week. Always makes me feel crappy. By partying, I basically mean, four or five of us, casually drinking and making fun of "scary" movies. The woman are always so dumb in those movies. Oh no, they're going to kill me, I should run to the most obvious place possible or the place that only has one entrance. Why don't the men in those movies ever do the stupid stuff? At any rate, I came home, took a motion sickness pill and took a nap. I felt a little better when I woke up but it was short lived. I haven't had my PaxilCR since Wednesday and it's starting to show big time. I've been quite the moody little girl the past few days. Oh well, I'll have some tomorrow and in a few days, I'll be feeling much better and be a much nicer person to boot.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to everyone!!!! Hope it's a happy one for you all! Sorry it's been so long since I've written. I had to many problems with AOL journals, as did everyone, that I got frustrated and took a break from the journal thing for a few days. Nothing much really new in those days. Been hanging out with some friends a lot more than I used to. Has anyone else had problems adding animated graphics from Hometown? I had to copy and paste this graphic into the entry to add anything at all.

Something BAD happened today. I let all the cats out for a run around the house. I have three females that aren't fix, two of which are foster cats and one is the little stray. I also have to male kittens that aren't fixed yet. I didn't think either of the males were at "that" age yet. Well, I was wrong. I heard some noise coming from upstairs and find that my mom's little male, Tuffy, is no longer a virgin and the oldest foster cat, Mink now may be pregnant. Can we say Whoops! Let's just hope that I interrupted everything in time. We'll seeeeeee.

::Special Note:: Thank you Lila for the Easter card! A very Happy Easter to you too!!!!

My journal isn't working right at the moment so I'll have to put today's entry, on there tomorrow, if it's working by then. Sorry!

Always at Work

Last night was a long one. A friend of mine got into a fight and then came over to the house bloody and bruised. I'm the peace keeper around here. I try to calm the boys down with they get out of hand and lecture them the gentlest way possible when they need it. I just hope that boy stays out of trouble for a while. Mickey has always been the kid that was getting into fights and trouble. He's always been the one I have to worry about the most.

The dogs got into a fight again today while me and DH were helping our friends move. I got the phone message after I'd been "working," I'll explain that in a second. My mom was letting everyone outside when August went crazy and attacked poor Mia again. She's got quite a few bite marks and one bit punture wound. For now, it's keep it clean and make sure there's no sign of infection. We're house sitting tonight and will be taking Mia with us. Now onto the other story. While we were helping out friends move, they told us the previous owner had asked if they could leave their dog with them. They said yes, he's a sweet rotti with a great personality. Besides that, my friends were worried the people would just have him put down if they said no. He's obviously had a broken leg that was never properly cared for. He limps on his rear leg. The other thing is, I was told there was a cat somewhere on the land. (20 acres) While we were in the garage, I heard a meowing and eventually got a female black calico to come to me. The first thing I noticed was she had two collars on, one regular collar and one flea. They were both on there so tight, I'm surprised she could ever breath. The regular collar had cut into her throat a bit. We ended up cutting them both off of her. The people still insist they don't have a cat, even though there was kitty litter in the garage, along with cat toys and cat bowls. But they don't have a cat right? I hate people sometimes.

ARGH

My best friend in the whole world, or so I thought, is in the air force. He's currently in West Virginia. The last time I saw him was almost a year ago, June of last year. I've been trying to get a hold of him all that time. I've tried calling, emailing, everything but every means of getting a hold of him, has failed. His phone number had been changed, his email was no longer in service, blah blah blah. Now, this happens quite often with all of my military friends. They're constantly changing phone numbers and email but they usually call or email with new numbers and addresses, etc. Now, all this time, I'm wondering if my so called friend is alive and well or if he's been sent off to Iraq like the rest of my military friends. I get an email today from this friend. All the email says is "Stephy and baby" and there's an attachment. I download for what seems like forever and once the attached pictures are opened, it's been like ten minutes. Once I open these pictures, I am furious. Since the last time I spoke with said friend, they have become pregnant and have a kid. The pictures were of him and the baby. Now, tell me, in ten months, don't you think you'd call or write your best friend and tell them you're going to be a daddy? Much to DH's dismay, I emailed friend back and bitched him out about what a shitty friend he's been and how thoughtless he is. I mean, he didn't even say if it was a boy or girl, no name nothing at all. Just the attachment. DH frequently disagrees with my deciscions but this is my friend, my problem and I'll bitch him out of it if I want to. I told him congrats and goodbye pretty much. I seem to choose the worst friends. All my past friends have backstabbed me, lied to me, etc. The only "friend" I have now is a girl who has backstabbed, lied and done more. I told my mom today, at least I know not to expect any surprises from her. I KNOW she'll backstab and lie. The worst she could do now is be a good friend. LOL Oh well, Maybe in a few hours I'll be a little less bitter about it all. For now though, it IS my party and I will cry, whine and bitch if I want to.

Just sittin'

Just got home not too long ago. Went to a friends house for a little while. DH got a new cell phone today to replace the crappy one he did have and now he's busy messing with it and making as much noise as is possible. We went to Hacienda tonight. I was so hungry. Usually, we get our chips and by the time supper comes, I'm full. Not tonight! I ate all of my wet burrito and a ton of chips.

I rearranged our bedroom today. The cats were a little curious. The entire time I'm trying to move funiture around, there's a cat investigating the new open space where I'm trying to put furniture! I swear, they know when they're being a pain! Ellie just hid in her corner because the vaccum scares her. It has never bothered my other birds. They just squawk at it. Ellie on the other hand has a birdie pannick attack. That bird now has my alarm down to a T. I wake up constantly, thinking it's time to get up, when really the sun hasn't even started to come up yet, it's just Ellie being bored. Really, nothing else happened today. We're going into clean house mode right now because DH's friend is coming home for a week from the army. Of course, that means we have to at least appear to always be presentable. LOL
