The Zoo was GREAT!

The hubby and I had so much fun on Saturday when we went to the zoo. The weather was pretty much perfect, and even though there were TONS of people, we didn't have too much trouble getting around. I have exercise-induced asthma, and hubby has arthritis in his knee, so I was shocked that we only had to sit down twice, and they were brief stops. The new Museum of Living Art was very cool. I wanted to post a few of the pics I took while I was there. Bear in mind that I am not a fantastic photographer, but these aren't bad.

This one is pretty blurry, but I think he was one of my favorite frogs out there. I even brought a stuffed version of him home :)
Pigeon
Zebras
Mohawk Duck!
Scarlet Ibis


I have come to the realization that I love birds just as much as I love frogs. The best pictures I have from the zoo are the ones of the birds, and I have lots of pictures from birdwatching on my porch. I have 2 birds as pets at home, as well as several bird feeders and bird baths outside on my patio. Hubby and I plan on building an aviary when we have a place of our own, and we will be adding to our bird family :)

Food Allergy Test Results

I was in for a surprise when I got my food allergy test results this past Wednesday. For the few days prior, my thoughts were wrought with fear that I may be allergic to garlic or nuts. I even started designing my garlic and nut super-villain tattoos. Thankfully those weren't on my list. The shock came with the 29 other items on my list! Moderate allergies Baker’s and brewer's yeast Pineapple Vanilla White mushroom Sensitivities Broccoli Buttermilk Carrots Casein Celery Cilantro Cinnamon Cod Dates Iceberg lettuce Kiwi Lamb Millet Onion Oregano Parsley Plum Potato Raspberry Rosemary Sage Strawberry Swiss cheese Turkey I was upset to see so many yummy foods on the list, including my go-to meat, turkey, and some of my usual spices. I was glad to see celery and onions, though. I’ve detested them for years and I always get laughed at for hating onions. Now I have a legitimate reason for hating them! I can live with this list. Well, I

What's Your Song? Thursday Link Up

This week has just been... rough. It started over the weekend. Mom and I spent a lot of time, money and effort in organizing my kitchen and cooking a ton of food. Sadly, cooking, as much as I love it, has become a major pain for me in the past couple of years, and even more so in the last 6 months. I have been dealing with a lot of back pain, and it is at the point where I cannot stand in one place for more than 10 minutes before I collapse in pain. And when I mean collapse, I'm not kidding. Knees hit the floor, tears start streaming down my face, and I lean on the object closest to me, hoping that the waves of pain along my spine will go away. Doctors have no idea what's wrong, x-rays don't show any problems, and the chiropractor claimed I had 4 pinched ligaments, but I can't afford to go to him twice a week to get adjustments (especially when the last time I went, I was in pain for a week afterwards). I did a lot of cooking while sitting down this weekend to ease the
