Times are getting exciting. My best friend, who I love like a sister is 6 months into her pregnancy. Her due date is May 24 and I can't wait. I'm even more anxious for tomorrow because we get to find out if the baby is a boy or a girl.

We're doing a baby ballot and I'm thinking it's a boy. I had a dream and I'm going with it. So we'll see tomorrow.

Also the lovely little Gecko is shedding. Most of her tail has shed. There's just this little tiny piece left. It should come off soon, but if not we may need to help her with a little of a peroxide product and a Q-tip.

Life is good.

So my lovely fiance in whirlwind decision bought me a Leopard gecko as an early birthday present. I've been itching for a pet ever since I had to give up rat when I found out I was moving to Alberta.

Our choices were limited, I don't think it's fair to have a dog in a tiny apartment. We can't have a cat because he's allergic and another rodent need lots of attention. So a lizard was an obvious choice. We only need to feed her every other day until she becomes an adult and then it's only a few times a week.

She's very easy to care for, you only need to clean the tank every 2 months and they have a designated "washroom" so clean up is simple. She eats crickets and meal-worms on a regular basis and gets wax worms and/or super worms once a week as a treat.

Unfortunately for her, we named her "Bowser" before sexing her and thought she was a boy. Ah well the name is gonna stick. It's actually kind of funny.

So thank you baby for the lovely pet you got me XOXO

Tonight will mark the beginning of Chanukah. At Sundown I will light the candles and say the prayers for the first time without my family. It's a little strange being so far from them and yet so close and not being there for this holiday. There's just too much to deal with to manage to make this year.

I'm a little sad but with all the drama and everything that's happened this year perhaps it's better for me to stay here. I have Adam and he's pretty much my family now too. I mean even my parents consider him family at this point.

Ah well, I'll just have to focus on the good things. Like food. Food is good.

Happy Holidays everyone!

While going through some more boxes I found my sketch book and supplies! So happy. I just finished working on the next part of my project. I'm very excited.

So we made it back to Ontario!

The new place is coming along and some new pics are up!
