Month: December 2009

After weeks of waiting and several games of phone tag with various mostly non-helpful people, I finally got my flu shot today. After all the drama, it was incredibly anticlimactic. My arm is a wee bit sore. A small price to pay for avoiding The Swine.

For Tess next door (the lighter dog, on the right), this is her first winter. As Doug said, dogs tend to approach new things with joy and excitement. That’s certainly true for these two.

Another critter day at work, and they brought a ferret. I like ferrets: they are very cute and funny. But I wouldn’t want one in my house–they don’t smell so good and pretty much destroy anything they get their little hands on. It’s kind of how I feel about kids.

These are magic bubbles. They’re really cool…they last forever and on any surface. Lots of fun.

this is my coworker Hellen, holding the blue-tongued skink at work. She was trying to get him to stick out his tongue, but he wasn’t being very accommodating.

There were green alligators and long necked geese,
Humpty backed camels, and chimanzees.
There were cats and rats and elephants…

and, apparently….ETs

when you have 3 boxes, a pad of Post-Its, a bunch of markers and a few museum educators?

well…

it might come out looking something like this….

went to the dentist today. I’m happy to say my teeth are in excellent health.

…sigh….

Today was a “3 R’s” Fair at work. One of the activities was taking old T-shirts and tearing them up to make a rag rug. I managed to convince Doug that some of his older and rattier T’s should go to the cause. The bright yellow scrap in the middle here is from one.
