and, oh my gosh, are they ever little bundles of energy.
they hardly let me sleep at all the night before last.. last night, luckily, they were compliant when i made a do-not-touch request by quickly covering up any part of me that seemed to interest them.
they will be going to their new homes this weekend or next. how sad! but happy! :)
my internet wasn't working at home last night. it would connect, and all looked well, but no pages would load. i'd like to lodge a complaint, but considering i'm stealing the connection from a mystery neighbor, i don't know exactly how i would go about doing that. nail signs to tree trunks around the neighborhood? "hey, you. i got very important email to read. get your wireless shit worked out, pronto."
i've been listening to a lot of jewel lately. rediscovered, from a decade ago. i don't think i've ever been so frustrated that i can't sing as when i listen to jewel. "morning song" - listen to it. fabulous. (yes, this is a pretty random post.)
i love pictures. love, love, love. they make me happy.
like this one.
for better or for worse, pictures are pretty powerful things, huh?
I'm Stacey. I'm a 31(!)-year-old Wisconsin girl living in sunny South Florida. The highlights in my life are my lovely boyfriend, my aloof cats, my adorable/adoring stepdogs, my two lumbering tortoises, select family members, being outside, being underwater, taking pictures, yadda yadda. Stay tuned for lots of babbling!
A small boy lived by the ocean. He loved the creatures of the sea, especially the starfish, and he spent much of his time exploring the seashore.
One day the boy learned there would be a minus tide that would leave the starfish stranded on the sand.
When the tide went out, he went down to the beach, began picking up the stranded starfish, and tossing them back into the ocean.
An elderly man who lived next door came down to the beach to see what the boy was doing. Seeing the man's quizzical expression, the boy paused as he approached. "I'm saving the starfish!" the boy proudly declared.
When the neighbor saw all of the stranded starfish he shook his head and said: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, young man, but if you look down the beach, there are stranded starfish as far as the eye can see. And if you look up the beach the other way, it's the same. One little boy like you isn't going to make much of a difference."
The boy thought about this for a moment. Then he reached his small hand down to the sand, picked up another starfish, tossed it out into the ocean, and said: "Well, I sure made a difference for that one!"
