Quick hello!

Thursday, November 27th, 2008

Ok so I havent blogged in AGES! I’m feeling withdrawl symptoms haha

A quick update as to whats been happening in my life…did a photoshoot a few weeks ago which I’m still editing. I’m actually very happy with the results, so I’m taking my time editing so I can do it properly. Normally I rush through them cos I’m so excited to show them off haha.

The next bit of news is that I’m right in the middle of moving flats! It all happened fairly quickly, when a neighbour moved out unexpectedly one weekend. I happened to see the owner of the apartment and chatted to her, and then next thing I know, the bf is asking to view the place and the next thing we’re moving! We should be done with it by Monday and then I can continue editing the last photos of the shoot.

I’m really keen to do another wedding, so if anyone reading this is getting married, or knows someone who’s getting married (in CT), give me a shout if you need a wedding photographer!]

Thats about it, I’m so tired and off to have a bath (one of my last baths, since the new apartment only has a shower :/).

Thanks for being patient with my lack of posts! Night!

Random Updates

Havent blogged in a while, so here at work I sit, blogging, instead of working hehe. Ok ok I’m doing a data backup which runs on its own, so I’m free until its done.

Not much has been happening, I think the last I wrote was that the new babies arrived a week or so ago. Things have been going great with them thus far. They give me so many laughs its great! And they’re so teeny and squishy! Only 70 grams each!

Ramoth (husky) had a bit of breathing troubles, but after a short treatment of Doxy, she’s sounding fine again.

The problem was, however, Orlith. She just wasnt having any of the babies! I’ve never had problems introducing female rats to one another but Orlith is completely different! She foofs, huffs, pounces, sidles up, puffs up, and pulls fur out of the babies’ rumps. Its been rather scary with all the shrieking that happens all too frequently. Of course, they’re only together under supervision.

Though last night it was weird…Orlith was uber tolerant and didnt actually fight with the babies nor huff and puff. I see it as a show of good things to come. Though she did hang around underneath the hammock that the babies were sleeping in, looking like a boogie-monster haha!

I used my cookie cutters the other day :D The “G”, “M”, heart, star, and bone. Yes, you can easily guess what I made: dog biscuits!! They were actually rather good, but a little too dough-like for me. I keep feeling that the dogs’ stomachs arent going to handle the soft biscuits very well. So they only get them sparingly.

I’m also planning on redoing my tank. My betta and pleco are doing well, found a bubblenest of Littlebettabutta’s the other day and I was so proud! Its been ages since he made a bubblenest, which I put down to him being rather old, but he made one and I was so happy!

I’m redoing my tank because its overrun with horrible snails! I cant keep plants because the snails eat them all up (except the Elodea of course *rolls eyes*). So I’m going to move out the fish, bleach the tank, plants, new plants, filter, stones, and decorations. Then I’m going to put everything back together and keep fingers crossed. I shouldnt have any snails thereafter!!

Thats about it for now. Thanks for reading!
