Dots...Dots....Everywhere

So It's been a while since I've written a blog about wedding stuff so I figured it's about time. Especially since I've been so busy with so many things! I definitely hit the jackpot this week. I've been trying to find the best deal on some white fabric with black polka dots on it. I'm planning on using it as part of the table cloths for the tables that people will be eating at.

I started my fabric adventure last week. My mom had told me Joann's was going to be having a sale for President's Day weekend so I figured, "heck I need fabric why not take advantage of a good deal?" So sometime last week Travis and I hit up the Joann's over by us and well they didn't have what I wanted. So I went to Walmart and they had what I wanted but it was $4.44 a yard. I need 11 yds so I was hoping to get a better deal. So this Tuesday I went to the Nampa Joann fabric and well....they didn't have what I wanted either. So I went to Craft Warehouse. They had what I wanted but it was almost $10 a yard!

So I had the thought that I should check out Home Fabrics. They mostly have fabrics for upholstering and draperies but they do have a small section of regular fabric. So I headed there today with my mom and 1st thing I find what I want and guess what? $2.50 a yard! I hit the jackpot! I love finding crazy deals like that!

Escape Artist

So tonight I come home for my lunch break from work and Travis is glued to his video games of course. So I go in to say hi to Gina (the hamster) and she's not in her cage. I ask Travis where she's at and he kinda just points in every direction because he's too into his game. Well I assumed by his response she was in her ball running around the house but I can't hear anything. Like usually you can hear her bump into things or the ball moving across the floor. I start looking around for her and I find her ball in the kitchen and she's not inside. I just start laughing and tell travis I found her ball but it's empty. He quickly quits his game and starts searching for her.

I had the feeling I should search the panty first because if I were a hamster that's that first place I would go. I open the pantry and start calling for Gina. Believe it or not after a few seconds I see her running around. Travis had to take everything out of the panty to get her out because she just kept running around trying to get away from him. Even once she was in his hands she was still trying to escape.

I guess we are going to have to keep a close eye on our escape artist and make sure she doesn't figure out how to get out of her cage next.

Ouch!

So Saturday marked Gina's 1 week birthday (one week of living with us that is). I think she's finally gotten used to what her sleeping pattern should be (Sleeping during the day,up all night). So Saturday night I went in her little room to see if she was up yet and there she was in her cute little cage playing in her litter box. (When we bought the hamster we found out you can potty train them so we bought her a little litter box and some kitty/hamster litter). Believe it or not she actually does use it. Seldomly does she go to the bathroom anywhere else in the cage. The bad thing though is I think she's thinks it's a pool because she like dives into it and then shakes like a dog so the litter pellets fly all around.

Well she was in a very cheerful mood that night so I opened up the cage and she started climbing up the side to get out. So I just laid my hand flat at the opening to see if she would climb on to it and sure enough she climbed right into my hand all by herself. As I carried her towards Travis she dug her sharp teeth into my finger and bite me and wouldn't let go. (She's hasn't bitten anyone since we've gotten her) I started screaming and muttering cuss words under my breath and I tired holding back the tears as she continued to dig her sharp teeth into me. I was so upset when she finally let go that I gave her to Travis and then started yelling at her. She made my finger bleed!

Needless to say I'm a little scared of her now and it's going to take a while for me to ever be able to hold her again.
