"Hey Susie, while you're doing laundry tomorrow would you be able to do my whites?"
"Why, sure Matthew! I'd love to! After all, I'll be doing laundry myself, so I might as well help you out too."
*sigh* I'm doing 5 freaking loads of laundry. I'm pretty sure Matthew has more underwear than I do.
eh, oh well.
The trick in this complex is that you have to do laundry in the morning, otherwise it's a fight for the dryers, which there never seem to be enough of, despite the fact that there are 3 more dryers than washers, and there's always enough washers. I think it's cuz people put 2 loads in the washer, and then put them both together in the dryer, so they don't get dry, so then they seperate them and dry them again. Matthew's too "nice" to take people's clothes out of the dryer and put them on the dirty counters that are in there, but I'm not. I wont take them out if they're still wet, but if they're dry, and especially if they've cooled off, and I need the dryer, sorry random person who couldn't be bothered to get your ass down to the laundry room to get your clothes, other people actually do need to use "your" machine.
I tend to get all riled up about it, so I just do it in the morning, when there's not as many people down there.
:)
Umm.... yes. Matthew finally put the carpet back down in our room cuz it hasn't flooded for several months.
Which means that it's going to flood tomorrow.
I don't work until 6:30 tonight, and then I close. It's kinda weird. I mean, the rush usually starts at like 6, and then is over by 7. So when I get there at 6:30, half of my tables will have been picked up by someone else, and then I'll get triple sat, and then I'll be bored until they phase everyone, and then hopefully I'll get more than a couple tables at once.
I'm shooting for $75 tonight. That sounds reasonable, right? I'll work for about 5 hours.
Hmm....
I know I've been bad about pictures lately. The problem is that I've pretty much posted all the pics that I'd want to that were already on my computer, so if I post any more than I need to actually take them, and I"m kinda lazy about that. Shocking I know.
I really should take more pics of my baby though, he's getting a lot bigger. He's probably an inch long now. Which he should, at the rate he's eating fruit flies. I even moved up to the bigger flies (I have 2 species, one smaller and more prolific (melanogaster), and one bigger and slower (hydei)).
Matthew ran me through the Stockades yesterday. Which was nice, I really did need to do those quests, and I got a lot of XP, but I hardly got any gear. The only thing I got that I actually use is a belt, and all the green items that I got (not a single blue) were only worth a couple gold. The other one we did was way better. I'm still using my gear from then, even though that was like 10 levels ago. My weapons give me at least 3 dps more than any other weapons I've gotten since then.
Meh.

Bored Rambling.
Some woman started choking at work today.
We comped her food.
It was very exciting. She was very embarrassed.
Matthew's annoyed at me cuz I was watching Teen Girl Squad (seriously, it's awesome, google it or something) and now he has a headache.
Whatever, when I have headaches I still manage to function, but he's a baby so now he refuses to do anything. Even though we need cat food.
I guess the poor kitties will just have to starve.
Because Matthew has a headache.
I'm only working 4 days this week, which is annoying. Although they did call me in to work a double shift yesterday, so that was good. Apparently, if the manager calls you in to work a double, you get free food, on BOTH your shifts! Yay!! I got the Grilled Veggie Salad and the new Aspragus Spinach pasta dealie. :)
Bentley is staring at me. He has been for the past 30 mins. It's cuz I picked up his favotire toy (the laser pointer) and was playing with Sasha. I wasn't playing with him, but he heard me push the button and came running. And then I got bored and stopped playing with them, but he's still hopeful.
He LOVES that thing.
I am so freaking bored right now. ugh.
I already fed all my animals and misted them down and all that. I suppose I could make some more fruit fly cultures. I really do need to do that.
Although I'm trying to feed my frogs mostly crickets. But still, it's good to have them around, for when the crickets run out.
Oh wait, Matthew got up.... Could this mean that we're actually going to go to Target? Will our cats actually get some food? Only time will tell I guess.

Lameness, Camping, and Baby Geckos
I have today and tomorrow off. It's kinda nice, but I don't know what to do. Matthew wont go anywhere with me (lame) and Mom and Dad and Abby are all busy. meh. The thing is though, if I'm not going to be going anywhere and doing anything fun, I'd kinda rather be at work where I'll make like $100 cuz it's Friday and Saturday.
Oh well.
Hopefully they'll call me to come in.
So last night I was supposed to go to an orientation thingie at SJVC, but I forgot. If they call I'm going to tell them that I had to work. I know, I know, lying is bad, but sometimes they kinda annoy me there. There's a little over enthusiastic. They made me ring a bell! sheesh.
So my gecko's doing well!! I even saw poop in his tank yesterday, yay!!! That's a very good thing, cuz it means that he's eating and all that.
No pictures though, sorry. I know, I'm lame.
Like Matthew! Only in different ways. :)
So!! CAMPING IN TWO WEEKS!!!!
:)
Although I guess we might not be going to Florence Lake? Cuz Mom and Dad and Muna and Ray and Marc and Sonrisa might not make it? Now that's just the epitomy of lameness. Come on people!! It's camping!! And I haven't been camping with any of you in forever!! Like, not since the last time we were at Florence Lake!! So get it together and come! I don't care if you're tired cuz you just got back from Iceland/England/Spain/Whatever!
meh.
Still.
CAMPING IN TWO WEEKS WITH OR WITHOUT YOU!!!
Oh well.

More Baby Gecko Pictures
Yup, just what the title says, here's a couple more gecko pics.
Here's the dad and the baby. I wasn't sure if the dad would like, try to eat him or something, so I only snapped one quick pic, which is why it's out of focus. Sorry. Deal with it. The color is kinda off too.
Here's the baby by itself. The color in this pic is way more accurate.
This is a close up of the above picture. Isn't it cute!!! Look at that adorable face! aaawwwwww!!!

geckos, breaks, and losing weight
Last night as I was cashing out my manager said that he'd heard a rumor about me. I was a little worried. What could people be saying about me? Am I about to get fired? He said that he'd heard that I don't like to work days. *whew* I said that no, it's not that I don't like days, it's just that I prefer nights. More money, more hours (which means more money), sounds good to me! So he said ok, that's fine, cuz he just wanted to make sure that I like my schedule. Apparently the managers were all talking about the new people and they said that they're really impressed with me. What??? Seriously?? He could tell that I was very surprised to hear that and asked me why. So I told him that I was having a little trouble adjusting to having so many tables at once and kinda felt like I was going crazy whenever I have 5 or more tables, or if I mess up. So he told me that if I ever feel like that again then I need to tell him because it means that he's not doing enough for me.
So I guess that's nice? The managers like me and want to help, which is good. I laughed and said that I just wasn't used to people being nice to each other at work. I hadn't realized until I started working there, but people at OG were very mean to each other, and completely unwilling to help anyone else out.
Anyway.
Yesterday was Matthew's mom's birthday, so we had a little party at Jennifer's house. I had to leave early cuz of work (it's still so nice to say that, I have to work.. ah.... :)) so that kinda worked well. It was a typical Matthew's family get together. A couple of her friends came over too. One of them recognized me as having served her at OG, and the other was at CPK when I was doing training and recognized me as the girl watching the cooks. Which is kinda funny.
Oh! Last night! I introduced myself to a table and the woman there was like "Oh hey, you (her son) were going to be named Susannah if you were a girl! Yup, you were going to be Susannah Joy." I was like "Oh my God, I'm Susannah Joy!" She didn't believe me! She thought that I was lying! I'm like, No! Really!!!
It was awesome.
So I've been trying a couple new things with my legs. I got some Nair and used that one my left leg, and then waxed my right leg. The wax didn't work too well. I mean, it did, but only kinda. It pulled out the bigger hairs, but left all the finer ones there. And the little kit that I got came with 8 wax strips, which really wasn't enough. I used each strip 3 times and still had to use 4 of them just for one half of one leg. The Nair worked pretty well though. It still itched, although not as badly as shaving, and it was way easier than shaving. I think I might keep using it.
CAMPING IN THREE WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm kinda sad that Mom and Dad are coming home soon. I like using their car. And I will have you all know that I've been taking very good care of it, and very good care of their mugs (which they specifically asked me not to break, as if I've ever borrowed their car and broken anything). They'll even get it back with more gas in it than when they gave it to me!
So I've lost 6 pounds! Yay!! Only 20 more to go... ugh. :)
Ummm... yes. My gecko is doing well. He's not really eating much yet, but that's normal. They don't tend to eat heavily until a week or so after they've hatched. I think I'll take some more pics tonight or tomorrow.
I need to go by Chris and Lacey's again tonight too. I went on Friday, but I didn't have much time so I didn't water as much as I normally do. Tonight I'll be able to water more. I have an early dinner shift tonight, so I'll get out earlier, which will be nice. I keep working late shifts; which ends up being like 7 and a half hours, with no breaks at all. I'm not quite sure how that's legal, especially cuz we sign a paper every day that says that we took 2 tens, but whatever. I don't get 10s or 30s. I thought you had to have a 30 if you work more than 6 hours?
Whatever. I don't mind particularly. I mean, I like 30's cuz then I get to eat, but 10s are just obnoxious. They totally interrupt everything you're doing. Sometimes it can take an hour to get back into the swing of things. (And hour is about how long it takes for all your tables to turn)
Ok, well, I'm gonna go play some more neopets. It's the finals in the Altador Cup and we're playing Roo Island, who we've never managed to beat at YYB, so I gotta play a lot. If we don't win this game we can't win the cup, and that's just not acceptable.

Baby Viper Gecko Pictures
Yay for baby viper geckos! Please excuse the crappy pics, I didn't want to bug the poor guy too much. Unfortunately you can't really see the skin too well. It's very different from the adult's skin. Much finer scales, almost shiny. :)
This is next to a quarter for some size reference. Sorry it's so shiny.
And my luecs, just for the hell of it. For some reason they like to climb up the walls of their new tank.

So scared, So Sad, So Happy!!
So a couple days ago I got attacked by a giant killer spider. It was horrible. IT WAS ON MY SHOULDER RIGHT NEXT TO MY FACE!!!!!!!!! Horrible. Apparently I am just as afraid of spiders as I used to be. I screamed (made Matthew and all the kitties jump), and jumped back about 5 feet, all while wiggling my arm and shoulder to get the evil beast off of me. Then Matthew came to my rescue and killed it, and then got the vacuum and sucked up all the spiders in the frog room.
Matthew is my hero.
So one of my female geckos has been sick. The one who got out. Yeah, she died today. :( I set up a temporary tank for her, and got some special food, but it was too little, too late I guess.
:(
But then!!! As I was mourning her loss! I looked over and saw that the sand in the little mini incubator I set up in my regular gecko tank was all messed up!!! And then I saw the egg shell!!! And then the brand new baby gecko!!! EEEEEE!!!!!! Finally, I have what looks like a healthy baby animal!! So I cleaned out the dead gecko's tank and moved the new baby one in there. And then tossed in a couple fruit flies. Yay!!! So we'll see. I've heard that the babies can be kinda tricky to care for, so I'm gonna go do a bunch of research. I didn't take any pics cuz I didn't want to stress it out too bad. I'll try to get some in a couple days. It's about as big as a fingernail. Tiny little thing. :)
Oh, see, you have to keep in mind too, that these geckos have been laying eggs ever since I got them, I've counted over 20 eggs, but this is the first one to hatch (and not get eaten), so that's part of why I'm so excited. I didn't think any would hatch unless I set up an actual incubator.
Yay!!!
Maybe this one is the dead gecko's baby? I think I'll say it is. It's just nicer that way. I mean, yeah, kinda morbid, the baby was born on the day that the mom died, but still. At least this way she gets to live on!
Until the baby dies. Which I hope doesn't happen.
Anyway, I'm leaving now.
Really.
Yay for me!
