Since the Creator asked...

I still can't believe the creator doesn't know the sounds of all the wonderful creaters that he made. But I am willing to help him out in exchange for some bonus points since I will need them when scratz reads that I am talking about sloths again, I am going to get stabbed in the back of the head with a wooden dowel. Anyways to answer the question of "what noise do sloth's make?".

The answer is "The three-toed sloth emits a long, high-pitched call that echoes through the forests as "ahh-eeee." Because of this cry these sloths are sometimes called ais (pronounced "eyes")."

Busy week...

I see that most everyone has blogged except for me. It’s good to see that the world still turns as I get buried in work and school. I recently just finished a 14-18 day run of overtime shifts. The reason for the 14-18 instead of just one or the other, but my “day off’ was actually just the period from 6am –Midnight. So according to the schedule, I had a day off but in all reality I didn’t. Anyways, I am back sitting in class, after tonight I have 2 more classes to go before I am done for a little while. I am so excited to be finished.
For all those interested in the housing situation, we still have not sold scratz condo. We have had less interest in it sense we have lowered the price and redone the kitchen. It makes absolutely no sense to me why, but that’s how things go. Our agent has been trying to talk us to putting my house back on the market, but she wants to keep it listed at the lower price. I don’t think it is worth it. With our luck lately, it wouldn’t sell anyways and we would still be in the same predicament as we are now.
I was able to get my car running, everything working, and now registered. Luckily scratz in an alignment specialist, so my car is aligned and I didn’t have to pay someone to do it. Now I don’t have to worry (as much) about getting only 8mpg driving to and from work and school.
For those who are interested, I bought some new ballasts for my lights on my fish tank. They make a major different in the output of the light. I have been having lighting issues for a while now but I haven’t had the time to fix the problems. So my corals haven’t been doing very good and I have lost quite a few. I don’t know if it’s because of a lack of water flow. So to remedy these issues, I will be adding 2 additional powerheads (as scrat calls them water blowers) and adjusting the directions a little better. This weekend, me and scrat are moving the big tank from one side of the living room to the other. I think it’s going to be a huge job but with the 2 wild animals that will be moving in soon, we need it on the other side of the room so it wont fall through the floor with all the jumping around. So in preparations for this move, we have added additional support to the floor. This will hopefully reduce the amount of “bounce” the tank has. When you see 2000+lbs shaking in your front room, it has a tendency to scare you to death. The last thing we need is a huge hole in the floor and a flood to top it off. Now that we have the extra support in place, starting Thursday night or maybe Friday morning, we will start draining the 120g of water, moving the 100+lbs pounds of rock, catching the fish, and moving the coral. I actually just bought me a 12g nano saltwater tank to assist in the process. I am going to store the fish in this until I can put the big tank back together. I am hoping I don’t kill everything in this moving process. This will be a test run for when we have to move the tank from my house to a new house if we ever end up buying one. Then after I get everything moved, I will be turning the 12g nano tank into a coral only tank. It may have a little fish or two but that is it.
Next topic on the agenda, tomorrow is the day that we find out if baby z is a boy or girl. Our appointment has changed to 2pm so we will find out sooner than previously planned. So far the doc has told us is could be one or the other on each of the previous visits. But until then the roller coaster is still going and I think we have the loop-de-loops are still ahead in the ride called pregnancy.
Tonight in class we are still talking about ethics, I didn’t think you could talk for 3 – 4hour sessions on this topic, but this proves that you can. However, I was able to get my school night treat. So that makes up for most of it.


And the final topic of the night…..well you guessed it, SLOTHS. I have received word that someone doenst find these little guys as cute as they are. So for final proof of their cuteness, I have included this.

How can this be one of the 7 deadly sins?

Happy Slothing…

We're Rich!!!

If you haven't aready heard through the grapevine, my house is officially off the market. Scrat and I were not having any real luck in selling either of our places. Both of us have had quite a few people coming to look at the condo and the house, but no real offers. I have had quite a few offers that were so ridiculous that they just make you mad to think people would dare even making the offer. The final offer that helped change my mind was almost $50k less then the price my house was originally on the market for. That is insane. When I spoke to my agent about this offer, she recommended that we counter with an offer that was only about $6k more than the buyer was offering. I told her there was no way I would go that low. She then told me to sleep on it and let her know what I had decided the next day. From my experience, when I sleep on something, I have a habit of getting out the old financial calculator and going to work with the numbers. Whenever I do this I have a great ability to talk myself out of anything that cost money. So within a hours of looking at all the options, I decided that financially it would be crazy to sell the house for the price I was asking and increase my house payments by almost $1600. So with this thought in my head, I talked to Scrat and she agreed that we would just live in Magna for a little while until the markets are a little better. Once we decided on this, I got to send the agent the great news that "sleeping on it" help me decide. So now we will be the rich people living on the east bench of Magna. Well, we're not really rich however since me and Scrat decided to take my house off the market it there defiantly wont be any living paycheck to paycheck going on anytime soon.

Required sleeping...

I dont even know where to start, therefore this post will probably sound like a random mixture of unrelated terms. If you think thank sentence was redundant, just wait. So, lets give you a bit of history on my current situation. Well, on Tuesday I worked 6am-6pm, then on Wednesday, I worked at midnight 'til 6am. Since that day, I have worked from 6pm-6am, with very little sleep if any. Then yesterday after waking up around 1030am, I received a call from my real estate agent saying there was someone who wanted to come take a look at my house. However, they gave a very broad time of the possible hours they might show up. So I got ready for work about 2 hours early just so I could leave when I saw them arrive. Well, at about 530pm a Land Rover pulled up in front of my house. If any of you know, this typically isnt the dropped caddy or other gangster vehicle that normally occupies the street. So I hurried and rand out the door so I wouldnt be in the way of the "viewers". Well, scrat has been staying at my house since Thursday since I am not here and the dogs like to have company. So she avoided my house for a few hours so the viewers could go through the house without being bothered. After a while, scrat headed to my place and we figured we were done for the night...boy were we wrong. Little did we know the vehicle I saw had nothing to do with the viewers and they were headed to my house just after scrat got home. She again packed up herself up and got out of the house. After they left she went back home again. During this time, I was still siting at work, hatting my coworkers and wishing I wasnt at work.
Well, after a very long night and hours of watching the clock, it was my great privilege to find out that my replacement didnt show up to work. It took another hour and a half before someone else could come into relieve me so I could head home to try and sleep. Well, after getting home a little after 730am, I finally got off to sleep when my real estate agent started calling me. I think I have had only about an hour of sleep if I am lucky. But again, I have people coming through my house to look( and not buy). My mind is in a haze, I cant even think. I still work tonight from 6pm-6am and do so until Friday. I completely forgot what I have written up until this point and I dont have the energy to go back and read it. If anyone who knows me remembers how grumpy I am when I dont get any sleep, then today would be a great day to avoid me like the plague. SO until next time, (and hopefully after some sleep), I advise everyone to keep their distance.
Just remember, sleep is overated and the more you sleep, the closer to death you must be.

The Begining of the End......

I am currently sitting in the first class or my final Course. It's kind of a nice feeling. Three years of sacrifice, hard work, and essays. After tonight, I have 4 more classes, 3 more individual essays, 2 more team essays, and one in class present ion(but who's counting?). The teacher seems to be a nice older lady, she is 86 years old and is originally from England. She has already changed our assignment amount to a little less of a burden since for most people in the class are on their final class. I am so excited to finally be completed again. That's all for now
