Piggies

Freddie recovered beautifully from his surgery. The only drawback is that he is less trusting of me. I guess I understand. He and Ginger are now living together and loving it! They don't snuggle with each other, but they definitely interact. I think they are still getting used to living together. But they have stopped chewing on the bars of their cage and have quit crying/wheeking desparately all the time. When I first put them together, I didn't hear a peep out of them (except for the little gurgles and grunts they make to each other) for a week, and then they started the usual wheeking at dinner time and when they hear food noises, but no wheeking of lonliness/boredom. They are popcorning a lot more, and doing a ton of running and chasing aroung the cage.

I added a ramp from the bottom cage to the top cage, so now they have more space and things to do. They love going up and down the ramp, and enjoy lazing about in their cozy "basement."

What a loser

Joined a "Biggest Loser" competition at work. It started today. I never really watched the show on TV, so I'm not entirely sure how it works, but I decided this would be a good opportunity to try to loose some weight with the support of a group of people, as well as the expertise of our team captain who has personal training and nutrition kowledge. We were weighed for the first time this morning, and I was aghast to see the number 153 pop up. I'm even heavier than I thought! I don't want this to be a big obsession or pain in the butt, but I do hope I can make some positive changes in my lifestyle and some negative changes on the scale.

Here is my "Before" picture (what I look like now):

Frustration

I'm having a frustrating morning:

7:30 am Hair looks like a retarded toupee

7:45 am Cute outfit makes me look like a confused fat old person trying,
unsuccessfully, to recapture her youth

8:00 am Late for work

9:00 am Removed because I probably shouldn't blog about work, especially while at work

9:30 am Removed because I probably shouldn't blog about work, especially while at work

10:00 am Fire alarm at work keeps going off, completely destroying my
already tenuous concentration

10:23 am More to surely follow
