Horray, Fall is here! My most favorite time of the year! I can’t wait for the leaves to change to beautiful yellow, orange and red masterpieces! And not to mention Halloween! Well, well, well..I obviously need to work on my Blogging skills. The main reason why I haven’t blogged in so long is because I feel I have so much I’d like to blog about, yet when it comes to me actually blogging, I go blank. Go figure! But really, so much has happened. If I didn’t put off blogging so badly I wouldn’t have such humongous updates to deal with. Well, here we go!

I bought a car a couple of weeks ago off Craigslist! It’s a bright red 1993 Toyota Tercel with 133,000 miles on it (which is nothing for a Toyota car!). I know it’s kinda old, but I think it’s absolutely adorable! We got an amazing deal for it- $1400 for the car plus 4 new snow tires. I’t sos much fun to drive around! Compared to my last car, a 1999 Hyundai Accent, I like my Toyota a lot more. Andy says it fits me perfectly and calls it my little Ladybug I really want to get a ladybug antenna ball now! I’ve already put some extra money into it (new stereo and speakers, steering wheel cover, exterior paint wax, etc.) and could not be happier!

Last week Andy and I brought the kittens to PetSavers in the valley to be fixed. All went well except Gray came home with a terrible bladder infection. I went ahead and took him to the vet the very next day and he was put on some antibiotics. Let me tell you, he is a horror to give medicine to. He hates it so much. The first couple of days he would try to spit it out. By now he has become pretty used to it, but he’s still a pain to administer the drugs to. I also went ahead and got some pain medicine for all 3 kitties. The vet was shocked that the spay / neuter clinic didn’t send me home with any. Overall the bill was around $150. Gray is still having a hard time going to the bathroom but he has shown improvement. Hopefully by next week he will be cleared up fully.

I’ve always told myself that I’d never get a Tumblr. Well, I caved and got one. I think this is going to be another reason for me to put off blogging, but let’s hope I don’t let it become like that! It’s pretty fun to share things on there..a lot better than Twitter if you ask me! But I’m not going to let that keep me from using Twitter either..even though my Twitter account has become my “location feed”. Anyway, if you’d like to become friends with me on Tumblr, my URL is ambrosity.tumblr.com. Go ahead and add me if you will

In less than two weeks (October 4th) I’ll be flying to Indiana for my brother’s wedding. He’s getting married on October 9th so that means I’ll be in Indiana for almost a week. I got my bridesmaid dress a few weeks ago and it’s absolutely stunning! I’m really excited to wear it (and of course for the wedding as well!). After the wedding I’ll be driving back to Texas with my grandparents. I’ve missed my friends and family so much and I can’t wait to see them! I’ll probably end up staying for a couple of weeks, but I’m sure I’ll start missing Andy so bad I’ll want to come back to WA pretty soon after. I guess we will see when I get there! Oh, and lets not forget I will be bringing home my beloved Maximus with me!! HORRAY! I miss him dearly. So there is so much that I have ahead of me..and I’m definitely ready to take on everything!   Filed under Animals, Death, Health
My female brown fancy rat, Peanut, is sick She developed an upper-respiratory infection over the night somehow. I found her this morning in her cage with her eyes barely open and she was acting very lethargic. I rushed her to the vet. Thankfully my other 3 rats didn’t get this, but it was still a hefty vet bill at $65. She looks terrible but hopefully the Baytril will start to work soon. I feel bad for her. I really hope it clears up soon. I’ve been nursing her throughout the day and she seems to want to lay up behind my neck for the most part, I guess because it’s warm there. She’s still so cold, though. I really hope she makes it through through this

Edit: Peanut has died tonight. Throughout tonight she slowly became worse and worse, and unfortunately she passed away. I only had her for a couple of weeks but I grew to love her not only as a pet, but as a little ratty friend. She was a little over a year old. I regret not having taken a lot of pictures of her. I have a few but they aren’t of the best quality thanks to my crappy blackberry camera. She’s the light brown rat on the left

After a (much needed) break from the interwebs I am finally back. I have been so busy these past couple of months with school and trying to find a job and whatnot that I have had hardly any time to get online, so that meant no updates to my site. Now that I’m out of school for the summer and not working I’m going to try to live life to the fullest, and with that comes wanting to keep my website up to date. I’m going to try and at least blog once a week at the least. I know that’s not a huge commitment but I don’t really know what’s going to happen over the next few months and i might end up becoming busy again so there aren’t any promises! I do want to get back into the sync of blogging often though. Oh yeah, and now that I’m going to be home a lot now (hopefully) I’m going to have a little section created on my site for something special I’ll reveal what it is as soon as I get done with it! Hint: It has something to do with things that I love doing Not only have I been slacking off on my website but on The Q*Bee as well. I haven’t been doing any of my duties lately. Most importantly I need to catch up on trading patches. I don’t want to end up being warned for not trading these past couple months I promise I’ll start trading more often

Now, here comes the big news. In my last post back in March I mentioned wanting to buy a kitty to help me get over Tango’s death. Well, I finally was able to convince my mom to let me have one! He’s a 3 month old long hair black tabby. He’s so adorable! Andy and I named him Maximus, after the main character in the movie Gladiator. He is so much fun, except when he won’t settle down when I’m busy. He always wants to be in my or Andy’s lap, or running around with Baxter, one of my mom’s cats. I still need to get him his kitten shots. I haven’t been able to afford his shots he was supposed to get over the past couple of months, but now I have enough money to get him the basics and get him fixed as well. He is going to be such a beautiful kitty when he grows up He also does that weird chirping thing that a lot of kitties do. it’s so adorable!if you’re interested in what that is exactly, search for cat chirping on YouTube. You’ll love it! Recently Andy and I have constantly been on eBay. I’ve started selling stuff on there on my name Ambrosity. Right now I have 5 things listed that are ending today, so hopefully I’m going to make a decent profit off of them :). Andy has been buying stuff like crazy. He’s purchased lots of Gameboy Advance games to play on his Gamecube, mainly Mario games. They’re a lot of fun too so I’m glad he bought them. I purchased 24 nail art pens from Hong Kong for only $18 with shipping. That is such a great deal considering nail art pens are $6+ at Wal-Mart and most other places that sell beauty supplies. I have so much more stuff to sell on eBay though, much of what I can’t wait to get rid of either. It would be cool if I could make a business off of selling my stuff, but i’ll eventually run out of things to sell, so I don’t think that will be happening very soon. Oh, how does the new layout look? I figured since it’s practically Summer now, I would put up a nice summery look for my site. I drew everything myself I haven’t had the chance to test it in multiple resolutions other than 1440 x 900 and I’m also a little iffy on the CSS, so opinions will be greatly appreciated!
