Tadpole (x3) and a Toad.

I found this toad on the way up from the community center today. It was really, really awesome. David and I went down there to catch tadpoles (which are also here), and we caught two of them. I can't wait until they're all grown up. Seriously, they're so big! They're already growing their legs in.

But, then again, I'll probably set my toad free after a few days. The tadpoles will have to stay, considering I'll just feed them - like - fish food or something for the next week or so until they're fully grown. They eat that, don't they?

... APPARENTLY SO.

I should probably find a better-suiting home than an apple juice bottle, though. My toad is currently living in a strawberry box - the see through kind with the holes. I put duct tape on the bottom and filled it with rocks and dirt, and even a little pool of water made out of tin foil. I should probably get a better home for it, too. Maybe even fill half of the aquarium with water and the other half with rocks. That would work, right?

Speaking of tadpoles, Jeni had her baby! It was a boy, 7'7'', 20 inches. I was so proud of her, but I haven't gotten to hold the baby yet, so I'm going to go over there tomorrow and talk to her while probably playing with baby, or just holding him. He's so adorable, and probably will be even more awesome since he won't be all red and goobery from the just-been-born thing.

It's so warm out right now, I'm sitting here in a shirt and short-shorts, no shoes and on my laptop looking for a babysitting thing I could manage. I would enjoy doing babysitting, probably about once a week or so, and get paid pretty well for it. I really love kids, too.

Alright, back to finding people who need their kids babysat~

Always, love,
Alex

P.S. -- THERE ARE SO MANY FUCKING BEES OUT HOLY GOD I THINK I'M GOING TO DIE. GO. AWAY. BEES. I DON'T LIKE YOU.

Baby Fever!

My eldest brother and sister-and-law had a baby about two months ago. Today is the first day I have held the baby, Logan. When I held him, he had the hiccups, and he moves so much. It was so wonderful.

Lately, though, I've been so craving babies. Babies, babies, babies! My boyfriend and I just go around, and my sister is pregnant, there's a baby here, everyone on the television has babies, and I ask, "So, when is it my turn?"... He just tells me that our parents would kill us and we DON'T have the money to do that. So, no babies for me. But... It's so tempting. I just want a baby! I might go into a babysitting service or something... I just want to hold babies, tend to babies... It's so nice. They're so small, and SO cute.

Just so you know, I live waaay up on the North Shore, Grand Marais to be specific, and today, and for the weekend, I'm in St. Paul with my siblings and mom. And nephew. <3

I know I haven't been keeping up with a daily blog! But there hasn't been much of anything going on in my life. I will try to do every other day, or at least twice a week! I know none of you guys probably don't care all that much, but still. I would like you to know that.

Alright! I have to go write! (Fuck yeah, I rhymed.)

EDIT, MOMENTS AFTER I POSTED.

This upcoming weekend, (the one in June, not May) I'm going to Cirque de Soleil with my old friends Jill and Emily. I'll take pictures and upload them here!  Okay, NOW, I go write. And see the baby. <3
