coffee, mantella nigrican, and insomnia
Sorry, no pics this time.
So it's been awhile since I posted. Almost a week! Now, I realize that many of you go much longer, but I usually dont. I guess it's just been a little crazy around here, what with weddings and work and Matthew. Last night we went to his dad's house for a goodbye dinner for his sister. She's moving to Phoenix on Sunday. She invited us over to help her move on Sat. Matthew doesn't want to go, but if I get off work in time I'm going to insist on it. I mean, she's his sister! And she's moving to a different state! He should help. And then maybe, hopefully, he'll realize that moving isn't really that bad, and we'll finally move. That'd be good. I seriously hate this place.
I'm selling at least one of my frogs. The nigrican. Which is the rarest of the frogs I have, but I only have the one, and feel like anyone who has them should be breeding them. It feels like I already wrote about this though... I think the last time I did I was just saying that maybe I'm selling it, now I definitely am. I'll set the starting price at $50, but will accept whatever. Hell, there's a few people who I'd give the frog to because I know they would breed it and take excellent care of it and all that. The main problem is that I need to be feeding these guys pinhead crickets, which would either take a few hundred dollars a month, or me culturing them myself. I wouldn't mind culturing them, but setting it up would be kinda expensive (like $50, not bad, but a consideration), and very noisy, which Matthew would never like. Not to mention they smell bad unless you're very good about cleaning it daily, which I don't think I would be.
Anywho.
I'm drinking coffee. It's decaf, which is good cuz that means that I can actually drink it without any negative effects. *ahem* Of course, it doesn't really wake me up either. But I guess that's ok. It still tastes good.
I've had insomnia for a couple weeks now. It's kinda driving me crazy. It's hard to be in a good mood when you haven't had a good night's sleep in forever. The night before last I did manage to get a couple hours in, but that wasn't nearly enough. I keep staying up until I'm exhausted, going to bed, not being able to fall asleep easily, then when I finally do I wake up again, then in the morning I wake up early and am still too tired to get up, but cant' sleep either. It's really very frustrating and all my sleeping pills are expired so I don't really want to take them. Oddly enough they get stronger as they expire, so I have to be super careful with them, otherwise I'll sleep for 12 hours straight, and that really doesn't make me feel any better than not sleeping.
ugh.
I love my purple coffee mug. My friend Erin gave it to me for my birthday one year. It was kinda a last minute thing, I think she got it at Albertsons, but it's a perfect mug. It's got a good handle, the rim is the right size, it's narrow enough to hold easily with one hand, but wide enough that I can use both hands if I want, perfect! I know Mom understands the importance of a good coffee mug.
I have to work tonight. I've had the last two days off, which was kinda nice, but meh. I do like that I'm making good money. Actually I still just plain like that I'm getting a paycheck.
Anyway. I'm gonna go back to my coffee and tv.
And I need to iron my shirt.

Yet more pictures, shopping, and cold, hard cash
Lacey in ... Box Lake I think? I'm pretty sure these are at Box Lake...
Apparently Aiden got hot.
So then Alex had to come over to investigate.
Another pic of Leah, Sam, and Logan at Marsh Lake.
I'm bored. I was going to go up to Tehachapi today, but I guess Carina got another ride? Or something? I'm not terribly sure, I was on my way up when she called, so we didn't talk much. So then I came back and went to Target. I got a cute shirt for tonight, a shirt for Sat (and any other day too, but it looks cute with one of my skirts), another random shirt, and some cute shoes for tonight and Sat. So that's good. :) I'm kinda hungry though, and dinner isn't until 7. I might go in a little early and hang out talking to people for a bit though. I haven't been back there since I quit in Feb.
*yawn*
hmm.... I might need to go to the bank.... I don't know that I have any cash... I think I'll go check that.

pictures, identity theft, and movie reviews
Ugh, I have a headache. Stupid head.
Here's Dad fishing! Yay for fishing!
Be sure to click on the larger version of these next two pictures. I took them completely zoomed in from where Dad was fishing, but I don't really have the right lens for that, so it's still all far. Anyway, my point is that when you look at the big version you can tell who everyone is.
Ah, Marsh Lake, isn't it lovely? The tricky thing about this pic is that it is not a picture of Sam, Leah, and Aiden. It's Sam, Leah, and Logan. Very sneaky. :)
I think I need to sell some of my frogs. Well, mainly just one of them. It's the most unusual frog that I have, which is kinda cool, but it needs to be bred, and I only have the one and I'm not going to be able to buy any more any time soon, so yeah. I think I'm gonna try to sell it to someone who already has some, and knows how to breed them.
Besides, the tank that that one is in is really ugly, and I'm too lazy to redo it.
*yawn*
I was reading through blogs on here and saw that someone had posted something called "blogging tips for beginners" that said that you should write a short 3 or 4 sentence paragraph telling people about you. It should include stuff like your first and last name, the names of your family members, the city and street that you grew up on, and the name of your elementary school. It stopped just short of telling people to give there credit card and social security numbers. *shakes head*
Yeah that's about it. I'm bored. I've been watching movies on Netflix. They don't have any mainstream movies online, but they have a lot of independent films, so I've been watching those. Pan's Labyrinth was amazing (obviously, I knew it was going to be, but it's not really a light movie, so you have to be in the right mood), Cashback was pretty good, I'm Reed Fish was alrightish, 40 Shades of Blue was boring and depressing, so I didn't finish it, Teeth was weird, but I guess it killed time effectively. Yup. I am such a good movie reviewer. :)

More Rock Creek Pictures and Life in General
Yup, 4 more pictures.
Dog Dog!!
He was very sad about being tied up all day.
Funny story about this pic of Emma. Just to show off my photography skills, I managed to take a picture of Rachel that was not only generally unflattering, but also managed to make her look fat. How, I don't know, but I did. So I figured I'd be nice and not post it, but Emma was in the pic too, so yeah. Here ya go.
Here's Abby and 3 (yes, that's right, look closely) of my sobrinos (I have decided that writing nieces/nephews it too annoying, so I'm using the Spanish word from here on out. Deal with it.).
She's showing them how to hunt for fishing lures. I offered to give any kid a dollar if they found one, but aside from the one Abby found in these pics, no one did, so I didn't have to pay anyone. Silly kids.
So there's your Rock Creek pictures of the day. I hope you enjoyed them.
I got to talk to Carina for a bit today. That was good. She kept telling me (and everyone) to not worry about her though, which was quite silly. We're going to worry about you, Carina. We love you and are concerned for your health and well being. It's not a bad thing. And it's not something you have a lot of control over either. So deal with it. (hmm, two "deal with it"s in one entry... interesting..)
Work was really slow today, which was good. I kinda had a lot on my mind. Obviously. I picked up an opening shift tomorrow, and then have Mon and Tues off, so that's nice. I was going to go up to Sacramento, but since her dad is coming up I probably wont. I'll see her when she's in town though.
I have a bug bite on the palm of my hand. It's driving me CRAZY!!!! Seriously, I can't believe I went camping and only got three bites, two on my cheek, and one on my hand. How annoying. I do have a rash on my arm and the back of my neck too. The one on my neck is from my backpack? I think? I got the same thing in Peru anyway. I don't know what the arm one is from, but it's pretty itchy (although nowhere near as annoying as my hand).
umm.... I guess that's it for now.
Yup. It is.
