Yearly Archives: 2009My brilliant and lovely Kid 2 to the rescue, petwise. She found Kid 4 a turtle that carries no salmonella (until he bathes it in egg – we hope that doesn’t happen soon) and is virtually stink-free. Also, it doesn’t die if you forget to feed it. Introducing the grow-in-water pet turtle. (Okay, I can’t... I found this book at the library. This may not seem like such a surprise to you, but it’s always a thrill. I live in a small town that houses a small county library, and although it has a fireplace (+), it also has a huge metal staircase running directly through the main room (-)....  Sweet boy.

And there are days when he’s still got it. I’m just saying. Also, he’s still hanging on to his thirties. Barely.... Are you Christmas shopping in Utah? Come see me! I’ll be at the Orem University Village Deseret Book (that’s by University Mall) on Friday December 11th with the lovely Ally Condie and Lisa Mangum from 6:00 until 8:00. After 8:00 we’ll be going out to dinner, and you’re welcome to join us. But. Only. If... Once I talked about pets. Now, Kid 4 is at it again. As his birthday approaches, he’s asking for a turtle. Ick. They smell, I think. Husband agrees. Advise me, wise ones. Does Kid 4 actually need a pet to become a well-rounded, upright, employable adult at some point? And is there anything as easy... |
