Want to shadow a zookeeper for a morning?
Shadows study, feed, clean up after animals

You pay $500 (money goes towards the cost of hosting an international zookeeping congress) and you get to follow a zookeeper around for the morning, helping with their job and learning what it's all about. Perfect for people who enjoy picking up elk poo. *hee*

I got my jewelry order from Spotted Octopus yesterday and I'm wearing my new necklace and matching earrings today, which is a cause of much squee-age. Everything I bought is so, so pretty! (Also got a UV filter for my new lens, which means I can go ahead and take the new lens outside, whee!)

I kinda of want to go see the local Haunted House, but haven't decided if I'm sufficiently motivated to do so. It's so close to the house that I don't really have an excuse not to go see it, though. It's been ages since I've done the haunted house thing.

My missions for this weekend include:
  • Laundry
  • cleaning out my bedroom closet, preferably tonight
  • go Girly Shopping at Bellevue Square
  • Finish unpacking my weekend bag from last weekend
  • Finish the next Imryne story
  • Start in on the last Sleepless Streets installment
  • Watch TV (whee!)
  • Do some housecleaning
...okay, I think I'm a smidge ambitious there.

Any chance for a get-together while you're in the area? I have reason to need to be at Belle Square this weekend and could meet you there. :)

Yes oh yes! I'm going to be there tomorrow morning earlyish--any chance that would work for you?

Let me know. I have a Goody Bag in my car for you. :)

How early is early? *laughs* I could be persuaded to be there around 10. :)

That would work, I'm planning to arrive in the area about 9:30 and leave about 11ish. :)
