Tomorrow we’ll be ordering the Wings of Wonder ornaments and Red Hot Barbie. Then I’ll save up for Dalene, the birthstone Barbies (I may get just one), then Haiku. I’m obviously going to have to call to get a price on Haiku, though, since no one will email me with it.

When Tom was in Walmart getting new drippers for the drip system, he checked out cameras and portable MP3 players. He found a really good MP3 for just under $100 but didn’t like their cameras.

I found some way cool rat pictures online last night that were obviously taken with a really good camera. The images were really sharp. I got a kick out of this one particular picture with a baby rat in a pan of water wearing a little plastic swimming tube around its body. The kind kids wear. I didn’t know they made them so little. Must’ve come with a doll or something.

I printed them out for Mary, though the colors aren’t great. I need new color cartridges. These have been refilled enough. I could still use a new toner cart too, as this one still blots here and there. The stuff still prints out legibly enough, though, and I have a lot of use left in it so I’m not about to replace and waste it at this point.

Tom said he heard on the news that in all of Maricopa County, inmates in for child-related cases are now isolated from those not in for child-related cases. That’s good. That’s the way it should be everywhere.

We were surprised to see baby quails this late in the year. They were so cute and could easily fit in the palm of my hand. I don’t really care for quails all that much, but I do like to see the babies follow mom around.

Last night Tom and I broke down and decided to go into Casa Grande and stuff ourselves silly at Whataburger. We went through the drive-thru. Amazingly, I’m only up half a pound after consuming 1600-1700 calories yesterday like I did between my chicken strips, fries and malt and other things. It’s still too soon to say okay, maybe these vitamins aren’t just vitamins after all, but it’s making me wonder. Especially since I didn’t take a water pill yesterday. Nonetheless, I still think I’ll stay around 125 pounds. That seems to be my overall average for quite a long time now, so it’s obviously where my body feels most comfortable.

I have nothing else to do but clean, which I don’t feel like doing. Nor do I feel like working out at the moment, so I think I’ll go start a love story between a nurse and a circus performer.

Tom showed me how to digitize videos in 1-hour segments. It’s really simple to do, but since he loves the TV as much as I love the computer and my stereo, I’ll be doing it when he’s asleep. Right now he’s out organizing the sheds.
