This picture was actually much harder to get than expected and I had to crop my hand out of the frame. Tater-Tot Hamster wouldn't stay on LeoPard's back for more than a second or two at a time. I was hoping they'd hit it off and ride into the sunset, but that just wasn't the case.

leopard, homework, and coffee

back to school

For those of you who don't already know, the reason I am in Tacoma is that I had to go back to school. Shadowing over my last two years has been knowing that I needed to come back here to finish a credit in order to get my diploma. I decided to take two classes so I would be considered a "full time student" to be able to sign back under my parents' insurance. I'm taking introduction to fiction writing and an introduction to Shakespeare class.


While I really like both classes, I have a paper due Monday on The Merchant of Venice and I am feeling slightly defeated by it.

tacoma safari!

little cat meet little dog.

I think Maggie could not have cared less.

down the mole hole

I spent almost 5 straight hours on my parents' riding lawn mower this last Saturday at their new house. I was restless all that night at woke up at 4 the next morning-- once I had made a big pot of coffee and found a pair of my dad's extra large rubber boots to romp around and adventure in, I went outside, only to discover the 3 acres I had mowed filled with fresh mole holes! Either there are a billion of them living right there or they work faster than I could have ever imagined.

rawwwwwwrrr

Jillian and I spent the weekend with our dad at our parent's new farm house in North Eastern Washington. LeoPard came along for the ride.
