Steamy!

You guys! Guess what I am! I ...(pausing for dramaticleness...) Am a fashion designer! Well, at least for today. I get to explain what steampunk is, to the colorguard costume designers. So I looked up pictures and explained a lot! I present it to them this afternoon. And right after I'm done with that, I am being picked up by my Grandma and I get to help wrangle kittens for their first check-up. The good thing is that while they are mousers they are only like, 10 weeks old and very cuddly! And on a completely random note, the other day at a friend's softball game my camera died! I'm lucky I have a memory card so I didn't lose everything. The other day Mom bought me a new watch because my other one finally died. This one is waterproof up to 165 feet below the surface and has like five other features! So yesterday I wore it to the pool and was timing my friends with the stopwatch feature! This watch rocks! All I hoped for was a cheap one so I could tell what time it is! And then I got this one! YAY!! Oh, and by the way, ya know how long my hair was? ...(crickets)... I got it cut and donated it to charity! well, I'd better go play with the rat before I smell like kittens!

Elephant Project

So I have this little toy elephant calf, and the other day I had an idea... I would take it with me (Along with my camera of course!) when I went somewhere, and take pictures of the elephant in poses. My elephant still needs a name and a makeover. (hello spray paint!, and plastic jewels!) And speaking of going places, today Dad, Mom and I went to Wilson Lake and Mushroom Rock. Here Mom and I are beside Wilson Lake:

Bad day to wear a skirt on my part. (It was VEERRY windy!) Here I am on top of really big boulder:

And here I am on top of another big rock:

(I just love that outfit:), kinda' quirky!) And here is Mushroom Rock itself:

I'll have more photos next time, after I empty out the media card on my camera. They will probably be random and date back to Christmas. Don't you just love me and my random photos? :)

Snakes Alive!

So the other day, mom and I were in the garden and suddenly we spotted at least seven snakes poking their little heads out of the railroad ties that border our garden. Mom freaked out! It was so funny! OOH! And while we're on the subject of snakes, once I was face to face with a black mamba! Well,I guess it was behind glass but still. It was in a whole building full of snakes, lizards and bugs in tanks. I've even had a few pet snakes, most of them caught around my house or out at my dad's shop. this is a garden dwelling garter snake:

Well, I have an erupting model volcano to build, so (Sigh!!) Bye for now!

I Have Weird Pets!

OK, my dog Muddy just swallowed a drumstick, whole! She didn't even chew! This morning was city dog registration, Muddy freaked out! She doesn't like strangers, or needles, and especially not strangers with needles!

I believe I said in my last post that I would share some rodent pictures, so here they are!

The one in front is Nikki.(Isn't she pretty?) The one in the back is Maggie.(deceased) Nikki's favorite thing to do when I get her out of her cage, is to sit on one of my shoulders in my hair.

So on a slightly connected note, I am in the gifted program. So every year I do this thing called product fair, and this year my theme is fancy (domestocated) rats as pets. I made a movie and some posters! Usually we all give speeches in front of a audiance of parents, other family members, and teachers. We are judged on how well we present our topic of choice, but this year we are eliminating the speeches. Making it a talk to people as they go by sort-of thing!

2nd Try

Well, in the end I kind of tapered off there didn't I?
Let's try this again. Shall we?

I have some things to update, so let's get right to it!

First, I have a pet rat named Nikki. ( I used to have another one as well, her name was Maggie. But she died.)
Anyway, we still have our dog Muddy.
I still adore almost all animals (bugs = yuck!) and dream of being a vet.

My favorite color has changed from pink to orange. And I love to ride my scooter.

I always enjoy getting comments!
I'll try to post tommorow
