AR (and other strange things)

On Wednesday, I was finally informed that AR was back up, and I was able to grab a 100. I am so happy. now all I need to do is my letter essay, witch is coming along great. I love my piggies so much now, that for Christmas I want some more racks to add a second story onto their cage. It will be so cool! when I can get the camera hooked up, I'll posed some pictures.
Until then, stay warm and happy holidays!

A.R. points

Today as I walked into school, I was shure I would make a 100 on my AR test. After trying 4 compurers, I reached the sad conclusion that the intornet was down. I hope they get it back up by tomorow! I need to take my test befor I forget everything! Wish me luck!

These last few days I have found myself sleeping in late, and whearing cumfy PJ pants around the house. I would say that I am making the most of my Thanks Giving holiday-the holliday that is no more. Tomorow I will be heding back to school. (sigh) With two days of science left and neer three weeks of Socal studies to come, I am glad I even have the corage to go back! Oh well. Atleest I have my AR points (I think) and friends. I don't think I could live another day in school if it weren't for my friends! And my story. math class isn't to bad when you can wright your story in the boring parts!

Hi!

I know that I have let you down. things have been very busy with school and all, but today I had some spare time.

My Halloween costume:

I can't rotate the picture, but you can still see it!


The guinea pigs and I are having a blast. here are some of their newly discovered toys!

Lilly has found that she likes my fanny pack


And both Duchess and Lilly LOVE the barn



Scrolling through my camera I found that Alyssa had taken some pictures. I named this one (with the help of my mom) "What the guinea pig sees!"




That is all I have time for.
Uploading images takes a lot of time!

new descovery

I can fit in the guinea pig cage!

it is lage enoff, so we took the picture above. I also figured out that if you cover Duchess with hay, she dose not care, wale if you cover Lilly with hay, she gets freaked out and runs away. :)

Duchess Goes to the Vet

As we were driving home from church on Sunday, Kara called us with some disturbing news. Duchess was all curled up sideways, and she couldn't straighten out, and she wasn't walking well. The fear was she might have had a stroke.

And of course, these kind of things always have to happen on Sunday. Fortunately, we were able to get a referral to Ridglea West Animal Hospital, which specializes in exotic pets. I would have never considered a guinea pig to be "exotic," but there you go.

The vet, who's home and cell number were on the after hours answering machine, said based on the symptoms he thought Duchess had an ear infection. This messed up her balance, and caused her to basically run in circles instead of a straight line.

We fed her some parsley, which I guess has quite a bit of vitamin C, and then the next day Duchie and I made a trip to the vet.

Long story short, she's on antibiotics, doing great, walking almost straight, and back to running away from us when we try to pick her up.

All for less than $150. Waah!

poem for school

I had to re-write a paper for school, and my parents said I should post it on my blog. so here it is!

Things you need to know

Play some, learn some, love some.

Stay beside a friend around the clock.

Hold some one you love in your arms at least once a day.

Help each other out when the going gets tough.

Speak up, and some one will hear you.

Remember that you are never alone.

Listen close, and you will hear what others are telling you.

Be unique.

Be yourself.
