Loving these girls 8 Days a Wheek!

Yes, Wheek. Because that is their most favourite chirp. Wheek Wheek Wheek!!

Meet Starbuck and Sweetpea, two sisters we adopted from Eastwoods Furry Friends in St. Andrews (just outside Antigonish) They spent the first month of their life with their brother and mom being cared for by Donna Eastwood. She did a wonderful job with them, as they are friendly curious and quite smart!
They have been bathed, brushed, fed, and snuggled since they arrived on Friday evening. They were born on April 21st (ish) and so they are still babies exploring their world.
They enjoy red peppers, lettuce (ALOT), fresh cherries, and baby carrots. But we are most proud to announce that they do not only communicate with each other, but Sweetpea showed Starbuck how to use the litterbox. :) Our girls are soo very smart.
Sweetpea is the boss, bigger and tougher and Starbuck is a little smaller (we think she was the runt) BUT they compliment each other well. Even in the last 2 hours we've seen Starbuck act Big as she tried to hold her own in a battle for a piece of lettuce.
Haha okay so she isn't tough yet, but her big sister is teaching her to try.

The Bunny

After posting, I realized how small it was, Here's his close up!

Flood? Again?

I'm sure everyone remembers the story of bishops hall flooding right after we had moved in and got settled. WELL, it seems the floods are following me, because scotty and myself had our own little flood Sunday night. When we rolled into the apt from a long drive home in POURING RAIN, (to quote Scotty, "Its like we're driving into Mordor") it was around 10:15pm. While getting everything ready for the next work day, I noticed a stream of water so innocently making its way down the wall. Seeing its end point, a kleenex box on our bookshelf, I went to feel the tissues to see if this had just started. Think again Mick! We were the proud owners of a 20lb kleenex box, holding as much water as it could haha. Anyways its all sorted out, seems a shingle got loose and was letting in some water. Fingers crossed for the next time it rains! We are just so pleased the stream of water missed my homemade scrapbook (by about 6 inches) and my computer/all the cords by about a foot!

Tonight I spent trying out a new cookie Recipe, chocolate chip oatmeal. Extremely yummy! I must go finish them up!

Oh and this is the little bunny that appeared this morning by where our car was parked. He was just relaxing in the morning sun, not too keen on letting me get close enough to take a picture tho :(. See if you can spot him!

A double feature! Food and an Apartment!

Okay here are some photos I've been meaning to post, they already made their way onto facebook, but here they are in blog form :) Enjoy!

Can I keep it going?

Okay, Here we are! Another blog begins!

I need a place to put all my pictures of the new place, the soon to be new pig babies, my adventures in the kitchen, and all of our summer plans yet to come into action!
Today has been an interesting day. For all of those who don't know what I do, my official title for the summer is Telecommunications Assistant for STFX. But really, I'm a summer student who visits all the dorms and makes sure the phones are working. It is an excellent job with wonderful people! We live close enough that we can duck home for lunch as well. Scotty is also working at the TSG as the contact centre summer student.
Sooo Today! I finished up Lane Hall, which was a big project in a lonely and creaky building. I listen to audio books while cruising through the building, I duck into each room clean up the phone (so many people seem to feed their phone juice/pop and crumbs all year) test the internet jack and the phone. I have little episodes which make me laugh (singing loudly thinking I was alone, but the window was open and the people in the parking lot could hear me quite clearly singing out of tune) or being scared out of my pants ( like the time I rounded a corner with my iPod full blast and meet a custodian. We both yelped a rediculous amount)
Today I was doing my regular routine of sitting at the desk to tidy up the phone, so I plunked down onto the chair and kept going. I hit the floor with a deafening crash (its SO quiet in there that the tiniest noise sounds huge). It surprised the heck out of me, but when I looked at the chair more carefully it had been broken previously and set up to look as though it was normal. Ooh someone got me! haha but it made me laugh for the rest of the day, each time I sat down I did it A LOT more carefully (just in case).

Coming soon ; PICTURES :)

Threadless.com

I fell in love today. After going to this website, I'll never be the same. My love for really cool tees has been embodied in a webpage. What happens is people design unique shirts, and if enough people like them and rate them, then the website prints and sells them! If you like tees, can create or appreciate clever designs, or if you just are curious, please check it out! I became a member in a heartbeat, and I love browsing! You dont' have to be a member to browse, everyone is welcome! I think it is the best place to find the perfect christmas gift for someone! (3 months till christmas yesterday) They have them in womens, mens, kids and baby onesies!

In other news, it was freezing cold yesterday, and now its summer again. Antigonish has the weirdest weather!
Have a very happyyyy week :) Homecoming this weekend will be a blast so I will certainly blog afterwards!

Micks Blog Season Premiere!

Welcome Back!
I am so sorry that there has been such a large gap in my blogs, now that I am getting back into a routine I'll write more often.
I'm all settled in to my room in the new Burke. And it is beautiful. (see pictures!) It isn't anything like old burke, but now that I am used to it its not so bad. It was a shock coming back to Bishops hall and it not being home at all. :( The frosh are all amazing individuals and I can't wait to get to know them better! They are so respectful of our beautiful house, and WE HAVEN'T HAD A FIRE ALARM YET. (knock on wood furiously) Unbelievable, I know.
All of my classes are wonderful, my profs are really entertaining. For those of you who don't know, I'm taking Earth Sciences, Shakespearean English, 16th century Lit, Intellectual History of Canada, and World War One. I'm working really hard to stay ahead of all my readings so I can enjjoy the classes rather than play catch up and panick. So far so good.
I'll try to keep up the blog!
And now some pictures :)
