Goodbye Dear Piggies



Moe & I



My guinea pigs have officially gotten too expensive to care for. They eat too much (a ten pound bag of food every 5 days costing nearly $10 at cheapest), they make my apartment smell, and have attracted so many flies I can not even eat in my apartment without getting attacked. I can't even SIT without getting attacked! And they have become impossible to get rid of! Chad will not even come and visit me anymore!! It is sad, but it will be best for us all. I can keep my cage in Chad's storage shed & I will use my store credit to purchase the necessary things to downgrade to a cheaper pet. The 21st of October I will sell the babies to Pet World and they will take my adults to continue to breed. Change is in the air, and its coming soon...

More Piggie Babies & a Car Wreck! COME HOME CHAD!!

One of Moes babies only a day or two old

Moe had her piggy babies on Tuesday! Chad was still here then. She has six but one died and I was devistated. Chad helped take it out of the cage for me. I've been running out of food and money though so Wednesday (Chad left, and during a tornado no doubt) after work I got food.The next day I had to use my last $1.20 to drive to PetWorld across the city to use my store credit for piggy food cos I was all out! But PetWorld decided to be closed that day until noon! So it was all for nothing! Larry, a guy at Taco Shop, offered to take me on my break from my double so I could get food so they didn't die! I fed them the food I got plus old burger buns last minute before they would go in shock and die! But now Splodge recently had her babies and that makes NINE living babies plus three adults! UGG! TOTAL CHAOS! My mum wire transfered me $40 to last til payday to get petrol so I wouldn't have to keep walking to work!
Well today was my first car wreck on my way to work! NOT COOL! I was turning left on Harry Street & nobody was there all the way back to Webb Road, so I decided to turn out. After I was in the turn, this lady was coming at me (she either pulled out of the grocery store car park or sped up) I saw her on the phone & we each saw eachother & we each breaked but she shill hit me. I sort of hit her too but she knocked my car the whole other direction. I can't open my front passenger door anymore or pop my hood/bonnet that well (it is bent and the fender is knocked to the side). My left light and blinker "broke" but still work... I just need to tape them. Her car lost its front bumper. Nobody got hurt tho... not even a scratch... so we were lucky! The cops said it was my fault because I was turning even though 1) she wasn't there before I turned & 2) she hit me, & 3) She was on her phone! So I got a ticket! LOVELY! Luckily insurance will cover her damages and my car is still drivable! Guess what my overtime cheque goes to?!? SHIT! If its not one thing its another... This week has been eventful! I'm ready for Chad to get home...

Everybody Cries, and Everybody Hurts

I got a new bank account at Bank of The West

This month has been rough in so many ways, and I have wanted to give up so many times. Doubting I am cared for and doubting everything. It is hard when you pray for a miracle everyday & never see one. Being upset everyday for over a year and not seeing a way out! I try so hard & nothing. I used to be insanely happy with friends and life was a lot better, but I let people walk all over me... And one day one person took it too far and the nail was in the coffin. Ever since people have been driving it further in. Its time to take it out and use every bit of faith for it to improve. Heal, cry, rejoyce. Be myself.
Darren at work may look at my computer to see why it says my proxy server is screwed up, and I still hope for a new job fast. Can't lose faith! I sold my first litter of guinea pigs today and have six left. Three weeks til the next litter goes and then I have a month before the next litter is born.
Well I can't really write more because I need to finish my July book! Hope it gets better! Peace Out!

JULY SUCKS MONKEY BALLS!!!

All nine guinea pigs in their cage!

I can't stand July so far... This has been the worst month of the year! My hours at work were cut from 35 to 30 to 26 and I'm about to die! Pray that new job is here FAST! I applied to AT THE BEACH! for full time work and hope I get SOMETHING! I'm not the tannest in the world but am trying with the money I can to tan so I hope I get an interview and a job! That would help a LOT! In fact, a new job period would be a miracle...
I am also having problems with my bank (Bank of America) again and will close those accounts soon after the issues of cutting my credit line... Blocking me from $567 and then literally altering my account info costing me $56... I HAVE HAD ENOUGH! Just not worth it, so I should be going to Bank of The West soon!
My guinea pigs are also a problem. The only pet shop that will take them is the shop I got them from and they won't take Ginger so I need to find some place to neuter him, only I have no idea how to pay for it! It never ends!
Oh, and for some reason Verizon Wireless customer service is awful... What else? I still have a busted computer... So let's pray I get a new job ASAP! Then that the rest will work out! I am over desperate now... I need a miracle... Like NOW! I just do... That's all I can say.

Updates and All That Stuff

One of Moe's new babies

I really need a new computer! I am sorry all my blogs have delayed postings to anyone who notices... The MAC computer will hopefully be mine November to January sometime... I hope sooner though!
Moe had her babies and I now have nine guinea pigs, and both Splodge and Moe are pregnant again since I confirmed Ginger IS a male! I still do not know if I can keep Ginger & I need to find homes for the babies. I may keep at least two! I am also looking for a teacup chihuahua. Those can be be expensive, but I hope eventually someday right?! If I want to take a holiday I should also quite often be able to take it with me! I can't wait for a new job, my MAC, and to move to Colorado... It will happen eventually, I just need to learn patience, keep working out, and work more on my wishlist/ bucket list... Progress is coming!

July so far = NOT my cup of tea!!

Let's just say it- So far my summer SUCKS! My computer is honestly a real piece of crap as I have handwritten blogs dated back to Sex God, unposted due to dead internet (now that you can see all these blogs I can finally post them all online- 23 December- but the dates on the blogs are all being posted as the orriginal dates I have written them). I can't wait to get a new job and buy my MAC! My hours are being cut due to Chad's "buddy" Ben (who I can't stand) and there is a long story with lots of drama I won't get into on here. I posted my resume to Chad's computer however, so I could apply for jobs there and I sent it to over 20+ places. I already got at least one rejection, but man am I praying for a better job fast! Pray with me! I am miserable at mine! June was so busy with everything that I am needing to get back at my Patriarchs study! I am reading "The God Who is There" by Francis A Schaeffer for July! I read "How Should We Then Live" by him in January 2007 as part of a Humanities class and it mentioned this book a lot, so I finally decided to read it! I have not been to a church in a while that I have really wanted to be a part of, so I am looking to re-trace my roots and go to an ELCA  Lutheran Church where I decided to be a Christian, and combine that with Messianic Jewish I love! I am re-learning more Hebrew (I used to know more than this). I hope to go to Remenant Israel (the Messianic Synogouge where I used to go to) Friday night, and try a Lutheran church Sunday if I wake up! I also want to re-start a prayer journal like I did in High School.
I have many errands I need to do, like get my oil changed ASAP (its been what 7 months now?!?) and figure out what to do with my continual guinea pig litters and find homes for the babies! Its WAY too many to keep! I'm also behind in writing friends letters! Wow!
Forth of July was boring! Chad & I went to Oklahoma at night but it was raining so we didn't get to set off fireworks on our way home... And we got home at 3AM so he didn't see the NEMO film like he said he would, but he saw it last night so I could stop whining & nagging... YAY! Haha! I knew it would only be a matter of time...
Well I have more errands to run. I will keep ya posted... PS, The picture on the blog is of a pretty sunset from last night :)

Parents Visit

My parents have been visiting the last week and it has been more crazy. Everything started before their visit when I threw out my back and needed to see a chiropractor the day they arrived. We were supposed to visit some people in Nebraska, but because their flight was cancelled and they had to re-book a later flight, we were not able to go. Maybe that was a good thing though because it took almost the whole week for my back to heal after I got my hips and spine compleatly realligned! My parents spoiled me when they were here. They bought me a lot that I dod not even ask for! My mum reorginised my place to fit all my things (I now have a telly, SEGA & PS1 as well, AND my guitar). Lilly-Ann brought by a sewing machine too. My guinea pig had babies, and I took my first trip to the zoo around here (picture is of poppie & his twin the chimp). I need to see if I can get Chad to to something exciting with me! Now that the parrentals are gone I have to figure out where everything in my apartment is, finish my June book, work on the guinea pig situation, & find a new job! WOW! The month (and half of 2010) is almost over! Go me!! It's been a crazy one- oh yes!

The (Surprise) New Additions...

I Had a surprise today... a CRAZY story! After I got off work I fed my three guinea pigs, played guitar, then went out to dinner at Hooters with the fam. When we got back ,I played the parrentals a few guitar chords, but then I put my guitar down and looked in my guinea pig cage... Was I seeing things... "Oh shit! there are six guinea pigs" I said!Splodge had three babies. At first we questioned if one of my girls was a boy, but then decided through how long I had them and gestation period that Splodge was already pregnant when I got her. The babies were very surprising. Born with eyes open and able to move around and eat adult food (in addition to nursing). I love them so much already, but unless I get a bigger cage soon, I can't keep six... and I think Moe might also be pregnant! Geez... I need a small animal vet to sex them all and be sure Splodge is okay after giving birth... either way this will surely be a new adventure! The picture is of Splodge and her new three babies! :)

April News... Busy Month...

Well to say the least it looks like life is finally starting to go my way... Or at least it has been going more in my favour these days. My painting of my apartment is DONE! All I have are a few tiny touch ups that I need Chad to do, but that has not stopped me from moving all of my stuff in and getting settled. Last Saturday night I spent my first official night in my own place sleeping on my Lilo. On Saturday I also got my pet guinea pigs (pictured in this blog). I have three :) There names are Moe (the long haired fuzzy one), Ginger (the orange one), and Splodge (or Splodger), who is the orange and white one. They were all identified as girls when I bought them so HOPEFULLY they were correctly sexed. They are superrrrr cute and I love them so much. It is so great seeing their little personalities come out... Moe is super affectionate... and Ginger is a major trouble maker... Splodge seams to be more like Ginger than Moe, but does not cause THAT much trouble... just not too cuddley. They are really messy and poo all over their cage a LOT so I have to clean it VERY often... I have a feeling I will spend more money on litter for them than on anything else for them. Luckily it only costs $3 or so at WalMart :)

I also have a sofa now... :) Its a really pretty green sofa!! Thanks to someone my father knows, he was able to use his truck one day to help me bring the sofa home... As for the rest of my furniture, I assembled all my shelves & its all getting put together... I still have a mess of stuff on my floor to put away, but its not too bad. Today I bought my bed frame too. I am having it shipped to me so it will take a bit to get here but yeah... I am excited all of my bills are much less than expected. That helps a LOT! I have just about everything I need for my apartment so far except I do not have a telle!! Or things to mount my pictures to the wall!!

I finished my April book like... a day or two ago maybe?!? So hopefully I will blog on that in May!! Of all of the rest of my books I chose for 2010, NONE of them were available in the book stores, so I bought them ALL online today (cheaper to buy in bulk)... I am even having one shipped to me from England because it has not been published in the USA where I am at the moment. I also bought a lot of Walkers crisps in bulk to be shipped to me. They do not sell those in America either!! I also bought some Yorkshire Gold Tea, British Chocolate Bars, Maramite, and Australian Veggemite!! :) Had to get them imported since you can't buy them in America (or at least any place around here)... I just hope whichever of the books that arrives next month for my May books arrives in time for me to finish the book before May is over!! I also sent out my May birthday cards today and talked to my father because it was his birthday!!

I know I am probably forgetting something, but I don't remember, so I will end with a funny story: Normally I hate spicy foods and find things that are not hot to most people very hot, but for a few days I have really been craving something spicy! So at work one day I tried the mild salsa and it tasted like water... it was so sad. It did not kill my craving, so the next day I was still craving something hot & I tried our hot salsa & it was SO WEAK!!! The maneger Ernie had gone to Taco Express & had some leftover authentic Mexican RED HOT CHILI PEPPER hot sauce (the REALLY hot stuff). He put a drip on my taco & I loved it so he gave me the cup of it (decent size cup), & I poured the WHOLE THING on my last 1/3 of a Taco... It was SOOOOOO HOT but SOOOOOO GOOD!!! I loved it. My eyes were watering & my nose was running but it was totally worth it! and with a small sip of water I was great! (No burning mouth) :) Today the manager Jackie remembered how much I loved it & when she went by Taco Express they give you an option of 2 cups of mild & two of hot... she usually does not get the hot but she did and brought them to work to give to me... :) I may hate salsa & I may hate spicy foods, but that is some gooooodddddd salsa :) hahahaha

Now that you have had a good laugh, I am back to more stuff to do!! I hope you all have a good rest of April since I am pretty sure this is my last post this month!! :)
