Learn Something New Tuesday 8/23/11
I had no idea that birds are so hilarious, you guys... they are so much fun to watch. :)
It's time for Learn Something New Tuesday!
If you had $1000 to spend right now on a single thing, what would it be?
This is hard... everything I can think of falls short of $1000 or way beyond $1000. I'm going to say home renovations, if it counts as one thing. Like the changes we want to make to the master bath, or enclosing the back porch as another room. I haven't priced either of those yet though so I could be way off my $1000 mark.
Which one of your pets is your favorite?
No way could I pick a favorite! They are all special to me in their own ways. Sneakers (the cat) is cuddly, but the birds, Loki (the bearded dragon) and Genbu (the tortoise) are all so fun to watch and interact with.
Did you ever own a waterbed?
Nope. I remember desperately wanting one as a kid but I have no idea why now.
What is your favorite color gummy bear?
Clear.
Do you have any favorite shows that are coming back on soon?
Doctor Who and Glee will both be on again soon!
Do you have any great bloggy friends?
I have some, I have met some really great people online and through my Hearing Sparks blog.

Two Little Birds
This weekend we added two new little individuals to our growing herd of pets. We now have two little finches in addition to our cat, bearded dragon, and leopard tortoise.
Scotty had been wanting finches for awhile - his grandfather kept them and he thought it would be nice. My only experience with birds was with the cockatiels we had growing up, so I had to do some research and find out what finches need before we committed to two little guys (or girls. Who knows?).
We picked out a society finch, and I named her Mochi. The other is a spice finch named Inari. They have a nice, cozy little spot in our dining room, and they've already cost us some money in terms of buying new pans to avoid the hazardous nonstick coating. (You see, we went to Target to buy the pans, which was very dangerous. I blame them completely for the amount that popped up at the register.)
They are super fun little guys - very active. Mochi is much more relaxed and laid back than Inari, but they are both enjoying exploring their cage and eating way more than their body weight in hay, finch food and mustard greens.
I expect to have them around for a long time to come!
