The Clue of the Broken Locket (A littl more advanced than the others, but a book I remember so)

I don't think I've updated this thing in... well, at least not since getting married. Let me describe married life: THE SAME AS BEING INLOVE. That wasn't so difficult to put into words. I only say that so I don't get a comment asking, "So how's married life?" Gah. I'm tired of hearing it. After our ceremony I asked Nick, "Am I suppose to feel differently, because I don't.... and I feel like I should or something."

I've been back in Milwaukee since May 20 somethingth and I have JUST found a job. Two offerings, actually. One in, I'm told, the ghetto, and the other in South Milwaukee which is where I'd like to live eventually. I'm praying that the one in SM will give insurance on a part-time schedule since that's the only 3rd shift opening they have.

I also found out I have PCOS (Polycystic overy syndrome), which I recently found out that some doctors are actually calling it a desease or disorder instead of syndrome, which I guess is besides the point. I'm suppose to change my diet, exercise routine, and quit smoking. I've done a little bit of the first two, the latter, not so much just yet, but N and I are going to pick a day at the end of this month and designate it our quit date.

Got the depo birth control shot in early May, a week before the wedding. It stopped my period for three days and the damn thing came back and I'm still on it. At the time of the depo I'd been on it at least a month and a half. That's.... too damn long. The depo should wear off in early August, around the 8th to the 10th, and N and I are hoping that the period will wear off around then, too, because we want to try for a child.

Bills are insane, the roads here SUCK, and I hate house work. Not much else.

We have added eight furbutts (ratties) to our family.


Kishi (pronounced keeshee)
Onawa (pronounced ahnawah)
Wisconsin

Are all sisters - Six months old (approx), black berks

Flower - all white w/ black hood
Moeglee - dumbo black berk
Shia - dumbo black berk

All sisters - Approx two-three months old (and all going through the scared-of-everything stage!!! UGH because it's starting to rub off on Reba)

Reba - Approx four-five weeks old, ruby-eyed beige rex (I shouldn't have a favourite, but she's definately it... but she cuddles up to me and loves attention unlike any of the other girls)

And we're awaiting Venito, a one year old neutered blue boy! <3

Moeglee gave me quite a scare today! Rawr. I let all the little ones out for play time on our bed and Moe got away, slinked herself behind my bedside table and onto the floor. I promptly put the other three in their cage and searched for Moe. I finally cornered her under one of my dressers and put a box under there so she would climb in, and she finally did! It sounds simple enough, but it took over an hour. Grrr. Moe, Shia, Flower, and Reba are all going to get one-on-one play time until they're out of this scaredy cat stage.

OH and get this! Delilah (our cat) gets chased by the big girls (Ona, Kish, and WI)! It's too damn funny watching her get chased in circles then hop on my lap for some personal petting time.

They all get Suebee's mix and Innova Senior and fresh fruit/yogies for treats. We got a Martin's R699 (RUDD) and I'm asking for a Ferret Nation for my birthday so we can take in-tact boys. Hopefully come September someone will have three or four rescue bonded boys we can take it... intros are just phhhttt horrible!

Speaking of horrible intros. We brought Reba home and an hour and a half later she was attacked by one of the big girls. I was stupid for trying to intro her when she's not even half the size of any of the big girls. I'm stupid. She got a really bad finger bite and one on her back. We rushed her to the ER and she got some anti-biotics as well as anti-inflamitories for her finger wound. 116$ for one ER visit. Phew whee it really is going to set us back a bit!

I'm getting really close to N's friends. J and Ang, especially. They're super rad peoples. I hope Noise Pollution has another show this weekend since we didn't go last weekend. Grrrr. N and I haven't had enough together time lately so we decided to stay in instead of going out to see them... plus we're broke and I would want to drink *something* from 7pm-3am whether it's beer or cola, but it's 6$ a drink, alcoholic or no! Phew-whee!

Which it's funny because everyone keeps asking what N's done to me, since I drink on occassion now. HE DOESN'T EVEN DRINK!!! lol He hasn't in at least a year, and if he does have anything alcoholic, it's something like arbor mist or a single beer because his tummy can't handle it after years of drinking like an alcoholic.

Holy cows, I'm hungry. I don't want to talk to B, though. Shit. Oh well.

I wonder if George Bush has a personal Email, and if so, how could we fint it? I doubt he's intelligent enough to comprehend how to use an email account. I wonder how Our Country got so fucked up.

Mom was denied SSI, again. I can't believe it. Wait, yes I can. In fact, I can believe that I know of/have heard of dozens of people who receive SSI simply because. Not that they are people who actually NEED it, but because they're lazy twats. I wish that I could say something and it really be HEARD. I wish that COMMON people had COMMON sense enough to look at our government and realize that, "Hey, if we stand together, we can win this battle and make our country better." But no, instead we sit with our hands up our asses, lean back, and watch the war. Not the almighty controvercial war going on in Iraq, the war going on in our own fucking country.

I appreciate that Bush wants to help another country, but enough is enough. When we have children here in foster homes where they're neglected and molested, when we have families here that can't get help when they need it, when we have starving children on the streets because of their crack-head mothers, where we have too many people and not enough work. The place we need to be battling is HERE. Stop out-sourcing our intelligence. Stop out-sourcing our money. And, stop spending tax money on stupid shit like black top. That shit is beginning to really irritate me. We need money put into our schools, not into the ground.

I think I'm finished ranting.
