I guess I'm really in a bad mood today. Didn't think I was, but some poor kid was just trying to get info on tortoises and I gave him a bad time about punctuation and capitalization. But, Dang It! This isn't a place where you use text-speak and it really bugs me!!!!!!

We all have our days.

Aw, Queenie! I'll bet she's happy to have her little tootsies tiptoeing through the "tulips." I didn't realize Queenie had aberrant scutes. She fits right in at your place, huh?

I just think she is the prettiest tortoise ever. She turns up her royal nose at mulberry leaves. Gave her some of those Althea blooms, so let's see if she likes Maggie's taste in colors.

I still can't believe Maggie sent her to me.

I saw that. I actually said to myself, Yvonne must be tired or cranky.
Oh well. It was hard to read.

I'm ashamed to say that I have lived here for 5 yrs and today was the first time we went to our farmers market that's 2 miles away.
It was wonderful!!
We took our dog and she got bite in the cheek from someone who didn't control their dog on one of those retractable leashes.

We bought hummus, pita chips, poke, strawberries, a cooked tri-tip all sliced up and ready eat tonight and honey sticks.

Saw a few friends.

Because like the song says, sometimes you need more then a phone to hold (or be held by).
True, that's why I have pets. I can't explain myself it's probably just because I'm young, but all I really want is the emotional connection of a relationship, someone on my team no matter what. I can curl up with a dog or cat when people are away. I've just come too used to being alone lately, and so much of someone would probably overwhelm and smother me.

A dog, cat, whatever while great, still can not fill the place of a human. Kinda like an apple and an orange are both fruits, yet not the same.
