not much been happenin' here. i slept in. innnnn. i tended to the kittens, which i am thinking may be older than the 3 weeks we estimated. i think maybe they were just malnourished and small for their age - because they're getting teeth! and that happens at 4 weeks!
they're so good. they are sleeping on the couch right now. they stay put wherever i put them, which is surprising. and no accidents! such good babies!
we rode bikes to go get breakfast today, then intended to go kayaking but chris fell asleep on the couch so i read stuff for class and ended up zonked out like him. whoops. that was nice, though.
then i went and consumed mass quantities at whole foods (healthy eatin' fodder for the week) and watched 'law & order' while doing homework. now i just finished a math assignment and it's about time for sleep!
looking very much forward to my next weekend. and, in just a few weeks, we go to wisconsin!
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!"
