HAPPY THANKSGIVING

yup, happy turkey day to all you internet people out there. im currently waiting for the dishwasher to turn off so the hot water can come back so i can take a really nice hot shower. ive got to leave in an hour and a half and frankly i dont think ill be ready in time if i keep on waiting so i may just have to suck it up. i hate being cold. frankly i would much rather just stay home and starve than take a cold shower but you know how families are.

im also in a bit of a bad mood today because i may not be able to see the fiance this weekend because of poor planning of my dad's part. he refuses to do stuff during the week so now everything needs to be done on the weekend, yay.



and a random quiz of the day. i would like to point out that i have no idea why i got this result, im not social in the least

of houses and weddings

yesterday i went to a friend's weddign and took the fiance along. it was really nice and modern ina good way, not overly modern with weird art but just modern with the bold colors and the way the smashed potatos were served in martini glasses. im a potato fan so i really liked the idea. i wish i could steal it for my own wedding but i dont want to be tacky.

afterwards i spent my first night at the fiance's house. nothing happened so dont worry internet, we just slept.

in the morning we left to go and look at houses. the first one we went to see was alright, i liked it decently enough but i loathed the master bathroom. it had a tiny shower, so small there would be no way i could shave my legs. and the backyard was really tiny but the front yard was huge. the kitchen was huge! it would have been the perfect place for the rat cage, but yeah, she shower was a deal breaker.

afterwards we had some time to kill before we were to see the next house so we went to a mall nearby to eat some lunch. i hade a grilled stuffed burrito at taco bell and of course made a mess of myself.

let me first say that becasue im happy about it and am talking about it i wont be getting this house, soemthing will go wrong as is usual with my rotten luck.

as soon as we got to the second house i was in love with it. we all got such a good vibe from it and the back yard was HUGE! the garage had been turned into a rec room and there were 2 sheds in the backyard, one had air conditioning. it had 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. 1.5 bathrooms was in the master bedroom which had a door that led to the backyard. also it has a pool! though when we have kids im amking a rule that at least 2 adults in the house must take a cpr class and an adult must watch the kids at all times when playing in the yard. there was even a room that would be perfect for the rats, its a tiny little room off to itself and is the perfect size and has nothing that could get the boys into trouble. also the master bedroom has 2 closets. im hoping to put a rack system for most of the reptiles in one. i have no idea where ethen and ellie will go since both of them have 40gal sized enclosures but we will figure something out.

i hope we get the second house, i really really do. of course at first ill only half move in with the fiance and his dad when we get a house, just becasue im still clinging to my childhood here in my own father's house, but soemtime before the wedding i hope to be completly moved in with them.

Well ive just set this up so i can blog by phone and im deciding to test it.

Wishes do Come True!

so right now we are in the middle of a norestern, a nasty storm. well last night the power went out and we finally got to use our generator. usualy as soon as we set it all up the power will come back on, well not last night. around 10pm we shut it off and went to bed.

i didnt bother feeding any of my fish or reptiles because i didnt want to leave food rotting in their gut since they didnt have any heat to digest their dinner. my babies were not happy about it, i got a bunch of dirty looks from everyone, especially ethen. the demon fish didnt seem to notice, maybe someone stuck a finger in the tank and she ate that.

well as soon as 11:11pm rolled around my sister wished that the power would come back on. at 11:12pm her wish came true. we were so amazed!

and ive also learned that dogs do not like being alone when the power is out. our german shepherd mix was terrified and would not let herself be alone, she was like glue all yesterday. kala the toy poodle was doing about as fine as a small dog can. for once kala was braver than bear.


on another note im feeling better today, but at this rate i wont be staying the night at the fiance's house, in fact he will be lucky if i even see him tomorrow. im still not better and im not well enough where i want to leave the house. at the moment im still classified as a mouth breather.

ive also got myself a survival pack that ive been carrying with me around the house. ive got a roll of toilet paper and a plastic bag for trash. my nose hurts from blowing it so much and my lips are badly chapped and i cant go to walgreens to get more chapstick.
