Swim styles

I find it interesting how differently each creature swims. You’ve got the glider, the floater, and the jerky kicker!

Ostrich mama

I am amazed that she can bend her neck all the way down for a scratch and that her knees bend the other way. Sitting like that doesn’t look comfortable. Is she even keeping the eggs warm?

Water game at Legoland

Squirt the frog with the water gun!

Sea monkey munchkins

Check out my recently-hatched baby sea monkeys! They have since tripled in size and increased in entertainment value.

Silly superstitions

It didn’t even occur to me it was Friday the 13th until a guy at work said it today. The number thirteen has actually been my favorite number since fifth grade, when we had numbered cubbyholes and I was #13. My second favorite number is 19 because that was the box that the guy I liked had! Haha, funny how some things really last in your life.

Well, since it was a day of superstition for much of this country, I thought I’d share a video of one of my cats. When I was choosing them this summer, I specifically went for the dark ones because they don’t seem to get adopted as much. I now have a gray and a black cat, both with some white accents. I don’t know why cats get a bad rap, especially black ones, but at least they are lucky and respected in some cultures. In this video, Missy (the gray one) was really enjoying the tag on my new Victoria’s Secret shirt. She’s a curious and playful one!

Late night detour

It was late at night and I thought I’d be free and clear to drive down the 405, but of course they were doing construction and we got routed off the freeway onto Sepulveda. I was pretty tired and the little caravan of cars all following the detour was amusing to me at that point.

Best pet EVER

This little fish is SO awesome! I wish I could just bring it home.

LAX backup

Traffic was at a virtual stop when the rain came! They had shut down the Sepulveda tunnel due to flooding, which made what should have been a 10-minute drive back took over an hour extra. Yikes.

Cat and mouse

Missy is a playful cat who just wanted to chase around the mouse. Of course the mouse wasn’t aware of this, so it was frozen until it saw an opportunity to run. I was able to help get it outside, but Missy still wanted to have some fun.

Mollusks

I always imagined mollusks to climb around the bottom of the ocean floor, not swim around rather gracefully.
