Check out or BML recipe cards that will be in the glider room and on the refrigerator door. Talk about anal!
Nerdiness + super excitedness together = nuerotic people like Brian and Ching. Yes, you think it was all me. Brian is actually just as nuts as I am when it comes to the sugar gliders. We actually fought over who got to make the recipe cards. Since I am a control freak, I ended up typing the document and saving it in the special sugar gliders folder that Brian created in his computer’s My Documents folder (still loving the home network). I let Brian dictate the recipe to me and feed the 4 X 6 index cards into the printer so he got to participate. He wanted to be the one to do everything, though. But you all know how anal I am, the formatting has to be just so (mandatory 10 pt Verdana, 1.5 line spacing, that sort of thing).
When we purchased our sugar gliders last Sunday, we told them that we would pick up our babies in two weeks because we were actually timing the arrival of internet orders (which we were placing shortly after; I was lucky that all the vendors that I selected were very reliable; everyone provided me with Fedex, UPS and USPS tracking numbers). Anyway, we wanted to make sure that we had the glider room (formerly the spare bedroom that became the junk room which we dubbed the cat room because their litter boxes are in there), cage and toys all ready for the sugar gliders’ homecoming.
Everything is falling into place perfectly. The cage (you’ve seen the picture; and if you haven’t, just scroll down a couple of blog entries) arrived on Friday and the rest of our orders will arrive this week. Plus, we went shopping for sugar glider foods today so we should be ready with a batch of BML for our babies.
We also went to Gupton’s and bought these Lixit guinea pig igloos which we are going to use to house the meal plate for feeding time. That way Ginger and Star won’t paint our walls with BML. From what Sara says, it is nearly impossible to scrape off your walls because it dries worse than glue. Remember our ghetto Tupperware with a hole on the side of it idea? We are nixing that in favor of a far more fashionable Lixit igloo alternative.
Anyway, it is all very exciting. I think the cats know something is up because they’re already starting to act jealous. Except for Jesus who has been very mature about everything.
Can you imagine how insane Brian and I will be when we actually start having real human babies? I’m thoroughly afraid of the notion. I think that is part of the reason why we feel we aren’t ready to procreate. We know what we are like. We’ll probably go bankrupt buying toys and clothes and bedding and all sorts of things before the baby is even delivered.
By the way, I’m supposed to be working on my homework 5 for MIS 610 (advanced transaction management; the continuation of the homework from hell) right now but I am stuck and I can’t find ASP master Ritchie (the god of all things ASP) on Yahoo! Messenger. I am totally indebted to him for helping me clean up my code, giving me some life-changing ASP code advice and for debugging homework 4 this morning. Alas, I am once again stuck and in desperate need of help. Ritchie, wherever you are right now, I need you! Please hurry home and get on Yahoo!
In the meantime, since I have no clue how to proceed, I’m blogging. I have plenty of other homeworks and projects due in other classes, but I’m hopeful that Ritchie will emerge on Y!M any minute so I’m sitting here, periodically checking Y!M while I blog. Extreme wishful thinking on my part since it’s a Saturday night and normal people are out drinking and having fun. Except for me.
I sooo hate school work! I really should’ve gone to Neighbors to play poker instead! I can’t proceed with coding anyway! =P
