Hey there :)

Your costumes looked great! I really liked the Lara Croft one. It was good. Your Step is a pretty handsome guy I must say :)

I watched Planet Terror on Sat. night with Rick. I had already seen it a long time ago in the theaters but didn't remember it that well and Rick hadn't seen it. It's pretty fun, and we both like the zombie movies, especially if Quentin Tarantino has something to do with them :)

Good luck with your Nutrition Exam. Just relax and get some good studying in and you will be just fine ;)

You mean they didn't know your character, or they didn't recognize you because of the weight loss? :confused:
 
November 4

So today didn't start out great but its getting better by the min! I pulled somthing in my neck/head on Friday of last week (from wearing that blond wig I think) and it was giving me some serious tension headaches. I went home yesterday kinda early because I just didnt feel well and this morning I was wiped out and totally not ready for the day. Anyway, I just finished my Nurt exam and I actually feel pretty good about it. I felt that I put alot of effort into this section and even though I am not crazy about the material I learned more than I expected to.

I guess during the test Step texted me and said the insurance called about his truck. It has finally been retreived and of course doenst work... well they are planning to settle for almost double what we expected!!!!!!!! Both of us are super excited!! This means that we might be able to get a newer truck thats in better condition... and maybe even use some of the money to pay of debt (that has yet to be decided since we didn't expect a thing!!).

So that puts me in a pretty kick ass mood. So much I took myself to starbucks and got an Americano! If you dig coffee but want something a little smoother... go for the Americano... its amazing!! Ha ya like my side note?? Anyway, I have almost 2 hours before my next class... I'm going to sit and get some studying in for my psy class... and then this afternoon I'm going to head out to vote... I'm hoping that it both does and doesnt take a long time!!

That's all for now!! Happy Tuesday everyone!!!

Hmm... I will ask Step. An animal that large is both hard to house and care for. He might know someone who is interested though... I will get back to you!
 
Thanks! See if Steph knows a reliable person in the Bay Area, CA. I would hate to think the snake would be taken by some asshole. I'd take her myself, but I can't afford it. I don't have housing and I'd have a hard time feeding her :(

Looking at the group shot, you were the hottest in the room. No joke.

Will do!

Yeah it gets expensive to feed them... and something that big would require something bigger than rats....
 
Their natural diet includes mammals and occasionally birds. Small specimens—up to 3–4 meters (10–14 ft) long—eat mainly rodents such as rats, whereas larger individuals switch to prey such as Viverridae (e.g. civets and binturongs), and even primates and pigs. Near human habitation, they are known to snatch stray chickens, cats and dogs on occasion. Among the largest prey items that are actually fully documented to have been taken were a half-starved old female Sun Bear of 23 kilograms that was eaten by a 6.95 m (23 ft) specimen and took some 10 weeks to digest, as well as pigs of more than 60 kg (132 lb)
