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.

 Flamingo
Cockatiel
 Penguin
Panamanian Golden Frog

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 :)

What's Your Song? Thursday IS BACK!

I realized that I'm in desperate need of some tunage. I'm trying a 3-day juice fast, and I want it to go well, so I need to be in a good mood - esp. since I hate most of the veggies in the juice but I know they are good for me. I have some good news - I have lost enough weight to take the 'W's off the end of my pant size, and I had to buy new, SMALLER undies. YAY! The hubby is very excited about the pair decorated with sledding penguins lol. Here's my song - Dirty Laundry by Bitter:Sweet. Love this song!!! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go dance with my dog and ignore all the dirty laundry that really needs to meet the washing machine :) Join us on this great link-up from Amber at Goodnight Moon !

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 Thursdays!

I missed this last week, and although I've only participated for a few weeks, I felt really bad that I didn't get to. Lately I've been trying to find songs that fit into my category of I'm strong, and I'm not going to give up . There are a lot out there, but finding ones that are a little more vague is a difficult task. I'm not dealing with a breakup, so the songs about being storng after breakups don't work. I need songs about having to fight a life-long battle, fighting for what you believe in, fighting for what you want. This one fits :) The enemy: PCOS and infertility. I will be invincible. I may lose a few battles, but damnit I'm going to win the war! Then everyone will have to go into hiding, because between me, the hubby and our friends, we will have evil little children. We already lovingly refer to them as our future demon spawn lol :) Without further ado, here's Pat Benetar with Invincible Don't forget to head over to Goodnight Mo...
