This was all done with sheep dogs, sheep, and LEDs donated from Samsung.

| Well today was pretty productive...
Got all of my laundry washed, picked up living room, found my little christmas tree and decorations then put them all up, and just got done putting the lighted gnarland around/above the front door on the porch.
Mike bought my Christmas present today. I'm so excited I could puke.
Canon EOS Rebel T1i two lens Deluxe Kit with 18-55mm IS Lens, 55-250mm IS Lens, 8GB Card, Filter, and Tamrac camera Bag
Most of my christmas shopping is done. Still need to pick up my in-laws' gifts(so weird saying in laws), my grandpa's gift, and Mike's second gift. Pyramid Catolog fucking backordered my mom's gift, hopefully they get it to me before god damn christmas. Grr!! They need to state ON THE WEBSITE if something is out of stock, like most other decent companies do. | | comments: Leave a comment |

| Been watching the WWII in HD mini series all day today. Its damn good. Also waiting with much antici......pation for Mike to get home with my new engagement ring. :))) Although I still feel aweful over how much money he ended up spending. Lets just say we're going to be strapped for cash for the next year. Stupid old diamond peddling german-lady at Jareds kind of suckered me in without realizing what I was agreeing to.
We decided on a bridal set, that way we don't have to go through the purchase process again and he doesn't have to go and spend more money in the future.
This is the set I got, with a 1/2ct, colorless, certified and laser inscribed center diamond(which was the most expensive part), and platinum setting. Real photos to follow as soon as I get it.

| Mike is taking me to Jareds today(Hopefully) to pick out any engagement ring I like(within budget). :)
Now before you think "OMG thats horrible you're making him return the ring he gave you?", don't.. Its not like that... He admitted that it wasn't the most thought through thing he's ever done, and because of that, there's no insurance on the ring. Knowing me, I will most definately lose the diamond out of it at some point or another, at work or something, and places like Jared's offers lifetime insurance on the diamonds. And I was also looking at a bridal set so the wedding ring will match the engagement ring, plus doing that kinda saves money.
So i'm excited... Very happy he's letting me do this. :) | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Made rice crispy treats and chocolate/peanut butter oatmeal no-bake cookies this morning...
Had a minor freak out about my (new)cell phone being lost today, but just found it.
And so far my new job kicks ass... It is SO GOOD being away from petco, can't even begin to describe it. I've decided that the two owners, Tim aka Freakin' Tim©, and Cy are like a weird duo with Tim being the wacky uncle and Cy being the slightly intimidating step father. heh. They're both cool though, nice guys, understanding of my n00bness.
I'm now the "official" store photographer, taking photos for the website, customers and such. Have had alot of customers come in and tell me they saw my photos on the forum and how badass they were. *beam*
I work with a couple other guys, Chris(who i've sort of known for like 12 years, through several other petstores he's worked for), and his cousin Andrew.
Speaking of Andrew... He cut himself super badly last Saterday I think it was. I was sitting behind the desk at the computer, and he comes up and asks me to grab him a fresh razorblade from the desk. I give him a look, and get him the razor blade. Sure enough, about 2 minutes later he comes up to me holding his thumb going "I think I cut myself kinda bad". I was like "Greeeaat. Lemme see.", so he moves his fingers and causes a fresh stream of blood to hit the floor. Was a nasty, SUPER deep L shaped cut from the point of the razor blade hitting and digging into the back of his thumb, right below the knuckle. So I say "Fuck, where is the first aid kit?" and he's like "We dont have one". lol. There isn't even fuckin' papertowels in the whole store. Can we say OSHA no likie? lol So the only other person in the store, a regular customer, runs over to the McDonalds that we're next to and grabs us some papertowels, while I call Mike and have him bring us some first aid stuff... Which he was nice enough to do for me. But not 4 minutes before Mike shows up, Tim walks in.. Im like "phew, thank god. Hey Tim, Andrew pulled a You and cut himself pretty bad, could ya take a look at it?". And he does, with some disgruntled noises. Says he has something for it, and goes out to the truck, comes back with a thermos looking thing labeled "Alcohol". Which makes me point and laugh at poor Andrew. Tim was like "yep, Andrew, this is where you scream like a little girl." lol. He was a man though, and didn't scream. After that Tim did a super glue job on the thumb and it was good as new. Or so we all thought.
When I came into work yesterday, Andrew was there with gauze wrapped around most of his hand in a professonal looking manner, so I asked him if he went to a doctor for his hand. Which caused him to flip his hand over so I could see the dark dark red swollan tissue of his hand and wrist. Apparently overnight, a nasty staph or some other infection set in, and he had red streaking all the way to the bend of his arm. And he wisely went to the ER. Doc wasn't too happy about all of the super glue. lol. And he is now on a large amount of antibiotics, since the infection could be anything since the razor blade went right through some coral(Palythoa at that, which are known for carrying toxins and bacterea in their flesh) and into his hand. Hopefully his hand doesn't fall off. lol.
anyway, here's a large amount of photos i've taken in the store over the past couple weeks...

| First new snake I've gotten in quite a while.
Went to the NWCBE(Northwest Captive Breeders Expo) today. Didn't have much money but picked up this guy from a friend/local breeder who will no longer be breeding Giant Black Milksnakes. Figured it was my last chance to get one locally, esp. at such a good price($50 for a big yearling). Next best thing to owning an Eastern Indigo.

| Got some really good photos of me with Lurch the other day. We went to the new Penumbra Fantasy Fair in Enumclaw, and it happened to be LITERALLY right down the road from the place where my mom has her horses, so we went by for some photos.. I'm wearing the new Peacock tailed Vixen bodice/corset that Mike got me from Damsel in this Dress.

| So I gave my notice today, which didn't go nearly as badly as I had planned..
And I went by Barrier Reef while Mike and I were out and about. I'm semi-official now, they put me down on the calendar for my first day, and gave me my first work shirt. I have to wait for them to order more so I can get one more my size. lol. He dug through the box of new shirts looking for something even in a medium. "XL, no. Large, no. XXL, no... When I ordered these I wasn't thinking of female employees.." lol. I don't think they've ever had a female employee before. So that'll be.. interesting. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Mike's mom bought me a Pearl Morpho in a glass frame at the fair yesterday... These are one of my fav. butterflies, followed by Blue Morphos...

| Alrighty. Well i've made the leap and decided to put in my two weeks with cursed Petco.
I was finally offered a job at Barrier Reef(http://www.barrierreefaquariums.com), full time hours, same pay/little bit more per hour, and ALOT less stress and bullshit. All in a nicely packaged high end saltwater/reef shop. It will be SO nice to get the FUCK away from Petco and being treated like shit on a daily basis, and getting shafted on hours/pay. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
