IT'S BEEN A WHILE.

I promise you I have been blogging..just..not online.
First I was out of town, doing family things, with painfully slow internet. And then I come home from the grandpaent's house, AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW? Our internet is out!
Not funny Bellsouth/AT&T/mysterious internet box. NOT funny. I do not appreciate it one bit. (It actually turned out that the guys that are working on putting AT&T U-verse in the neighborhood bumped our line. PSH. No excuse.)

And THEN the next day, which I believe was Thursday, I soon learn that our water has been cut off. Which again, is just AWESOME. There are people out there I tell you, people wanting my to get in touch with my caveman side. What NEXT horrible people? Are you going to take away my electricity? Or the air conditioning?
The answer? OH YES. THEY TRIED. Because what do you know?! Friday we have tornado warnings! And my mother was convinced that a storm was SURE to blow RIGHT through our house at ANY moment. So Friday night, I spent most of the time in our basement computer room on the floor, listening to the same weather report on the radio again, and again. OH AND ONE MORE TIME. Not to mention the fact that the magic people DID flicker power on and off again, threatening me with their power.
(But then we went to iHop for dinner at 9pm so I suppose that makes up for the rest of that day. But I put this in parenthesis so not to take away from the drama of the day.)

Also, Thursday night I realized I left my power cord for my laptop in Alabama. So I'm without my laptop until they can ship it over here. I miss it. I'm at a loss without it. I've been reading a lot this week. Three books since Tuesday in fact.

But now, I must go and do Eastery things. Like..eat my chocolate eggs and sleep.
I'll be posting those blogs periodically throughout the week along with the blog for that day.

BYEBYEBYEBYEBYEBYEBYE.

And the fun begins!

Well, it's fun now. Ask me again in 15 days.

(I'm posting both here (where I normally post), and here, by the way.)

As most of you don't know, I got rats about a month ago. They were mostly for my science fair (which I got 1st in thank you very much), but I also really, really wanted them. :)

Rats have a horrible rep for being nasty, disease caring rodents. And while they ARE rodents, they're not dirty at all. They're constantly cleaning themselves and they WANT to keel their cage clean. And, unlike hamsters or guinea pigs, they want to be with you, they love companionship.

NOT to mention, they're adorable.

And, as awful as the quality is, this is even MORE adorable.
AH HUGE PICTURES. But her name's Eloise. :)

I got two the first go-round. One was a bit older than the other and she refused to warm up to us and started getting slightly aggressive towards the other one, so we had to take her back. We got a tiny little one instead. A week after we got her, it was very apparent that she wasn't healthy. But we'd already fallen in love with her and couldn't think of taking her back. So we called the store and they said we'd have to "return her" so they could get her well and then we could "buy her" again.

Anyway, today I went to PetSmart to get a ball and to visit the baby rat. (And let my just tell you, THEY GROW SO FAST. It makes me sad, because they've had her all week. And then I'll have her for about two days and then we're going out of town for spring break. So when I get back, she'll be so big! Sad times everyone, sad times.)

And now I'm watching Eloise run around in her ball and it is hilariously funny.

BUT ALAS. I should be going, doing school work. All of that.
I'm loving this BEDA thing. Gives me something to distract myself with. :D hah
