My End of the Week Five

1. First and foremost - my brand new nephew! Go here to see him!

2. My husband, who willingly takes on pets, knowing that I don't/can't take care of them. This week we added a goldfish to the animal collection. Fish sound easy, I know, but I have watched 2 die while under my supervision, and had to give 3 others to the pet store in order preserve their lives.

3. The people in my class you helped me clean up the bright red vitamin water that fell off my desk and spilled all over the floor last night during class. I hate the experience (why can't I be remembered for my intellectual skills, not my clumsiness?), but I do appreciate the help. Thanks Juliann and the guy that used to work at Disneyworld as Goofy (sorry I forgot your name)!

4. Pesto Cavatappi.

5. Cheesecake.

6. Darin for giving me both yesterday!

Fabulous Friday Five

1. My office FINALLY has air conditioning! It's been 2 1/2 long weeks of no cool air.

2. Survived the first week of school - both as an employee and as a student.

3. Clean bathrooms.

4. Sisters who came to visit me this week. Some bringing cheeseburgers and Diet Coke, another bringing cute homemade onesies for me to give for gifts.

5. Pancakes with fresh peaches.

Ahoy Thar Lizzy

(No, this is not a post about my sister...)

I'd like to introduce you to the newest addition to our family. My daughter caught Lizzy the Horned Lizard while we were in Bryce Canyon. She promptly had babies all over my daughter's closet. One survived, and now has a happy home with a cousin.

Lizzy lives in our old fishtank by our kitchen window, and Jayke, our cat, stares at her longingly every once in awhile. She likes crickets, sand, and sun. My daughter faithfully takes her out of her cage once a day so she can get her exercise.

The other day Lizzy went boating:



Who knew a horny toad could be so fun...
