Not much new..
Well, it's been awhile, so I thought, why not update? Not much new these days. The daily ritual of getting up, going to work, spacing out for 8 hours, going home, enjoying some rare home-time, cleaning various poops from various animals, finding some time for household chores, and repeating. :) Not that I am complaining.. I am thankful for where we live and what we;ve acquired thus far. Marky works a lot, but he is doing better in his tattooing, and I am very proud of him. I can't wait for that day when we will have our shop.. if we do decide to go that route. But at any rate, life is in one of those plains for me. Nothing tragic really happening (which is a GOOD thing) yet nothing rocking my world either.
We are getting our actual wedding bands with my tax return and my good friend Diane made them from scratch, starting with a wax mold. She is really an awesome lady; as a kid, I got my love of horses, and ability to work with them, from her. We are getting a killer deal on the bands, and now comes the waiting game :)
The pets are doing fine as well. The snakes are either in stages of breeding, growing, or just existing. I sold off what I wanted to, and plan on adding some stock in 2008. I have three females due to lay eggs for 2008, which has me thrilled. I sincerely love these animals, and breeding them selectively to get cool morphs, and I adore selling them to people who "get it" and love them as much as I do. I plan eventually on dedicating a whole room to them and seriously upping my quantity of them. They demand no explanations on events from me. They drain nothing from me emotionally; they ask for no lending ear or scratching hand. All day at work, and talking to my family, I am taxed by others' drama. And my other animals, while I LOVE them, are pretty draining in themselves! I am again not complaining; I am thankful for family, and my job, and a few dashes of drama here and there from them, because without both, where would I be? But I love having the snakes because they do not require much of an emotional output at all. Sure, if one were to get injured, or lost, I would have conniptions. But in general, they are so low-maintenance and low-key.
My winter driving fear is something that I still grapple with. I am fine as punch on good days, and even moderate snow days. But I HATE white-out conditions. I swear, if some stupid white-out is what does me in, I will never rest and will spend eternity as a pissed-off undead chick driving a ghostly Jeep and running frat-boys off of the road.
