10Octoooh, kinkay

Upgraded the blog to make switching hosts an easier job but there’s still a few kinks left to work out with some of the plugins and some template tags need updating.

if you see any errors floating around, give them a flick and pass them by, I’m workin on it.

A Small Orange.. here we come!

08OctConjoined.. Moths?!

I know humans can be conjoined and sometimes cows and other large to medium-sized animals are born with two heads or other various appendages but have any of you heard of that happening to an insect of any kind?

Boboes was batting at something on the floor and when I brushed him away I found two moths, or so I thought…

Upon closer inspection it’s two moths, but they’re connected at the bottom, so technically it’s two moths.. conjoined.. resulting in a single split moth.

I tried to snap a picture but the moths are too small, just one of those tiny tannish-colored ones. *sniffles* I really wanted to show you, bah to small objects *shakes fist*

I didn’t think this sort of thing happened in the insect world, I guess I was wrong. Who knew?

06OctYardsale Time!

Due to our extremely small space and oober amounts of junk we’ve decided it’s time for another yardsale.

My meager items consist of tamagotchis, books, dvds, tons of toe socks, carebears, stationery sets and other random tidbits.

The crappy part is that my stuff probably won’t sell as some of my tamagotchis are imported straight from japan since the united states sucks and all we have are the connections. I’m just not willing to sell them for two or five bucks when I paid thirty and forty for them and they’ve only been played once.

Then I’m going to have to explain that the books are in stacks because they belong in sets. I’ll sell them individually but that would be really stupid on the buyers part as they’d miss more than half of the story. The one set consists of twelve hard-bound books, each four to five hundred pages long.. That stack is just about as tall as I am.. but that isn’t saying much now is it?

Ah well, I’m really just hoping for twenty dollars to get the cute little vacuum cleaner I want. It’s a four-pound bagless bissell, which is perfect for my tiny apartment. They have two different ones, one turns into a handheld vacuum and the other, the one I need, has a hose. Both come with crevice tools, not too shabby for twenty bucks if I do say so myself. I basically just need one because my chinchillas are punks and throw stuff all over the place.

As soon as I put their food dish into the cage they start picking out all the items they don’t like or want and make quick work of throwing it onto my floor. Sometimes, if something is considerably distasteful to them, they’ll throw the items AT me. How’s that for pet love?

They have good aim too *nods* It isn’t unheard of for me to be hit in the back of the head with a random peanut, I even got one in the eye one time which really sucked.

Add the throwing of the chins to the scattering of boboes and you get a lot of messes to pick up. Boboes’ new thing is to run, top-speed, over his food dish, scattering cat food in the shapes of fish, x’s and o’s from one side of the bedroom clear to the other.

*shakes her head* My animals are punks.. straight up punks, but I love them anyway )

02OctWalmart and evil kittens

The walmart super center in Staunton has been going through a massive overhaul the past few months.

New paint, new flooring, new employee dress codes, a subway at the front entrance, etc…

I hate it.

In a sad attempt to mimic the workings of their Waynesboro establishment they have completely ruined the Staunton store.

First, large areas of the store were roped off, limiting your shopping scope. Next came the topsy-turvy inventory flip.. nothing, and I do mean NOTHING, is where it’s supposed to be.. except for the grocery and flower areas as they were built embed-style and couldn’t be uprooted, and therefore, don’t count. Then the price stickers got messed up and a ton of products started disappearing from the store altogether.

My berry pomegranate water is gone *sniffles*

The last three trips I’ve made to the Staunton store have left me angry, frustrated and devoid of any product I originally went to buy.

I went to buy a friend for George but all their fish were dying or sick, I went to find a smaller lip stud but they didn’t have the right size and the colors were hideous, I went to buy a vacuum cleaner.. which they had but not the one I went for.

I finally got pissed off and purchased a set of the new Aquafina skincare line. I saw it a few weeks ago and was thinking of trying it out.. the missing vacuum flipped the switch from debate to ownership. I was hell bent on walking out of that store with SOMETHING in my hands.. other than air which is free and doesn’t count anymore than the grocery or garden areas do.

For those of you who don’t know, Aquafina has started making skincare products. First they made chapstick and lip oil (similar to lip gloss only better). I tried the lip oil and liked it, then I found their skin care line in the face wash isle. Super hydrating facial cleansers, scrubs, toners, moisturizers, etc.

I got the foaming cleanser, toner and moisturizing spray and I must say it kicks ass. I have super sensitive skin so half the face care products I use to prevent acne and oil end up doing the opposite. Breaking me out and making my face super shiny. Or they make me itch like crazy.

The foaming cleanser is so light it’s unreal. I was expecting the normal white lather you get from other products but it was nowhere in sight. It almost felt as if it turned to water and soaked into my face as I used it. Following that up with the cooling toner and moisture spray made my skin nice and smooth with no hint of dryness or oil to be found.

The scent isn’t too shabby either. It’s light and semi-citrusy. Nowhere near the harsh, overpowering smells of other skincare products. It’s a win win situation.

One thing that made me happy today, other than my newfound skin products of course, was the arrival of my new eyebrow bars I ordered last thursday on ebay.

I’ve found ebay really is the best place to purchase body jewelry. They carry more unique pieces and the wholesale lots are to die for!

I picked up a set of three heart dangle eyebrow bars for $10. The top jewel (the actual heart part) is a little bigger than I’d like but they’re super cute, though I’ll readily admit it was a bitch to get in. My new eyebrow piercing still isn’t used to being changed so to change the jewelry I have to poke a needle in the bottom hole while I push the jewelry in from the top. The bar itself isn’t the problem, it just doesn’t like the bottom part where the stopper screws on.

*shrugs* oh well, I got it in so HA HA HA.

And yeah.. Boboes is the official kitten of the devil. He’s cute, soft and looks super cuddly but he won’t think twice to bite your face off. From the time he wakes up to the time he goes to sleep it’s non-stop terror mode. He’s only sweet when he’s sleepy.. but I love him anyway because I’m a goober like that *nods*

Tigger is still pissed off at me, she’s convinced I’m the one who brought Boboes home and refuses to speak to me. I miss my super fat, fuzzy pillow *sniffles*

She did the same thing when mom brought Toby home, it sucks but given a little time she’ll get over it. As for now she’s out living off the land and only comes in around every four or five days to grab a bite to eat, hiss her anger at me and saunter back out the door.. such a drama queen!
