WHAT'S UP? - April 08, 2008

Slacker? Maybe… So, there is this huge gap between my blogs; what has been going on? A lot! [No time = no blogging.] First off, The Hubby and I just recently moved into our first home! We’re now living in Bluffdale; yeah, yeah, “way-out-south”, that’s farmin’ country, the boondocks… I’ll admit, we’ve seen some deer near the house (near, as in across the street from the house).

DEER!!!!!

The commute to work has been spiffy; we take Redwood Road to Bangerter Highway to I-15. We’d been looking for almost a year before Ken came across this house while doing his internet home searches. The house is almost everything that we were looking for; I say “almost”, because our “want criteria” was for a home with a side garage and then we ended up purchasing one with a front garage… THE IRONY!!! The house definitely has some bonuses compared to the others that we were considering, including a landscaped front yard, fencing, and blinds. Our friends recently helped us move in a washer and a dryer; hooray, to the parents for purchasing new units and giving us the old!!!!! Sunday we moved the fish tanks over and had no casualties. Speaking of pets, we recently acquired a dwarf hamster as a birthday gift. Our hamster is aptly named “Brown Hamster”.

Brown Hamster
Age: unknown
Eye Color: Black and beady
Hair Color: Brown – duh
Likes: Dried carrots and sweet potato bites
Dislikes: Being removed from his mini TV hideout and cage cleanings

For those of you who don’t know about our pet naming history, somewhere our creativity ran out, and our fish were named “Brown Fish” and “Red Fish”. What is even stranger is that Brown Fish use to be “brown” but has since changed to a “gray” color. Brown Hamster is great, lives in the spare bathroom, makes a lot of mess, and feels the need to make a lot of noise in the cage’s rotating wheel. We have been playing GOD (as said by one of my co-workers) and have been keeping Brown Hamster’s light on during the night and turning it off during the day (to reverse his nocturnal schedule). That’s all for now... time to turn out the lights for us.
