    sick hoggie
     discovering that jeffie had mites last night was *not* my idea of a fun time...but as i'm a good hog mommy, i scrubbed out his cage and toys, gave him new bedding, and then before putting him back in, gave him a bath and then a dip in some water/olive oil, which the breeder said would help smother the mites.  also washed everything that had ever touched him recently, including our clothes.   

    was very upset both last night/this morning - tried to get him a vet appt to get some meds for the mites this morning, but the regular vet was out of town until this friday (did NOT want to wait that long!) and angel memorial wanted $130 for an emergency visit...so i decided to work from home, and then drove him back up to the breeder's (in NH) to get the meds (which she luckily happened to have on hand).  he should be fine now (breeder says the mites should be dead in 24 hours), but still stressy.  also got a ticket from the street sweeper this morning since i parked on the wrong side because i was so stressed out and therefore not paying attention.  

    ugh, stank day.

    i did, however, get to meet two hairless kittens at the breeders and watch them play...freaky little dudes, but cool!

    there is really nothing better than snuggling with your baby hedgie against your chest and watching as his tiny little eyes close as he nods off.

    baby!
    yesterday we brought home our little baby hedgie, jeffie.  he's adorable, and fun to snuggle, if a bit scaredy-cat at times (he likes to puff up into a spiny ball when he gets freaked out...which right now is often).  it's apparently a baby thing that they eventually outgrow if they are socialized enough.  picture below (of jeffie exploring), more on my flickr account

    HEDGIE!!!!!!!!!

    the whole hedgie as a pet thing seems to be moving very quickly...i got my landlord to agree that we can have a hedgehog (and change the lease to say so as well), and after contacting a ton of breeders in the MA/NH/VT areas (many of whom have 6+ month wait lists!) i have found one that has five available baby boys (i wanted a male) who says i can come up tomorrow or saturday and pick one out!  i am so very excited!!!!!  the link below is to pictures of the babies -which do you think i should get? (jon and i have already picked out a name for our hedgie - "jeffy" - from the dancing duck in south park)

    you lose your wallet (with several credit cards, ID, several gift cards, etc.) and house keys. someone finds it, takes the trouble to track you down, and asks what you want them to do with it. do you:

    a). freak out and rush down there right away to get it...somebody has your wallet and you want it back ASAP
    b). thank them profusely and tell them you'll be over as soon as you can to pick it up
    or
    c). get snippy, tell them you don't have time to pick it up today, and ask - not politely - if they can deliver it to you at work.

    if you answered c, you're probably the guy whose wallet i found today.

    so much accomplished!
    we got so much done this weekend - saturday we went through bags of jon's stuff he hadn't looked at in a long time, and took a lot of it to goodwill (and got rid of a few computer monitors) in anticipation of the move.  then went and got him a bike at ace wheelworks in davis...for less than $300, which was surprising - i was sure we'd spend more like $500 for the kind of bike he was looking for (one with upright handlebars) - but it turns out that they can attach handlebar extensions to make it upright for just a few bucks.  sunday i had a girly tea party (yay! this was great and needs to happen again!) and then went for a lovely bike ride with my mister.  i'm so glad i get to go on nice rides with him now.   and there's still a whole weekend day left!

    casting

    i am so exhausted, and could really use a solid 12 hours of sleep, but casting is done!  i think that had to be the fastest casting ever (we were done quite some time ago, actually), and people should be hearing back from us soon.  i'm very excited, but also just want to snuggle into bed!

    auditions for the one acts

    i have discovered that i am much more excited about directing than i ever was about acting (i totally want to do this again)!  watching auditions last night was great, and got me really pumped (i was still on a high after i got home).  i'm really psyched for tonight's auditions, too (and thursday's!)  yay for directing!!!

    weight loss, yay!
    as of today (15 days into my diet) i have lost 5.5 lbs.  the first 4 lbs. came off the first week, and the next 1.5 came off the second week.  this diet is actually pretty easy to stick to (1600 cals/day roughly, and whatever exercise i can fit in).  i think i lost more weight the first week because i was getting more exercise then.  

    i'm getting comfier with my weight as it drops down, though my goal is still 34 more lbs. honestly, i'd be happy with even 24 more, as that would be a lower weight than i've been at in a long time, and one at which i'd be totally ok with.

    the man who stands quietly behind me (and who kisses me gently on the head), letting me watch the three golden retrievers run by for several minutes, is definitely the man for me. 

    i love you, the mister.  happy 6 months tomorrow!

    and it was all yellow
    there are currently 40 beautiful, blooming daffodils on my desk at work, and they smell lovely!  (one of the higher-ups at work sent each person in our office 10 daffodils in appreciation of all our hard work, and we only had one vase in the office, so i get them all on my desk!).  today feels very spring-y because of it (AND i saw crocuses blooming yesterday).
