Doing well

Sasha seems to be recovering quite nicely. The vet feared that she wouldn't eat, but she is eating her dry food and drinking her water just fine. What a relief!

Early this morning, one of Lydia's toys went off. Apparently, Sasha has turned it on by rubbing against it or jumping on it or something, anyhow, the leappad just started talking. After watching the invisible Jacob episode of lost, it was pretty freaky.

In honor of Sasha

Sasha is in surgery today to remove her bad teeth. I just received a phone call from the vet, saying that her mouth was worse than it looked before. So, rather than two teeth having to be pulled, he's now looking at five with a couple more needing to be x-rayed. At least she will still have some teeth to eat her dry food because I've tried giving her wet food, and she'd have none of that. Our thoughts and prayers are with you today, Sasha.

Relaxation 101

I got a chance yesterday to use a gift certificate that my friends gave me to Halina's Euro Spa. I got a facial and for the first ever, fell asleep during the process. I guess I had too much excitement this past weekend with Mike in town. :)

Eight Months Old

Uncle Mike was in town this weekend to celebrate Lydia's eight month birthday. We had a great time just chillin'.

Lydia's First Computer

Trung helped Lydia put together her very first computer yesterday.
Even though she was working really hard (or hardly working), she still managed to find time to flash Mommy a bright smile!

The meow meow

It seems that as Lydia's first little tooth is coming in, Sasha's teeth are going. According to the vet, at least two of the cat's teeth have to be pulled along with some iffy ones. Poor Sasha, all this time she's had this infection and we'd didn't even know about it though the decayed teeth are mainly in the back, so we really couldn't see them. Surgery will set us back a few hundred dollars. *sigh*

We had left Sasha with my parents in the past and honestly, it was nice not having to make sure the doors were always closed or she'd run out, or having to feed her and change her litter. As of lately, we had been considering giving Sasha away, but Lydia seems to be quite taken with her and I've had the cat longer than I've known Trung! Well, now with these current news, I think Trung and I are really going to have to think long and hard about whether or not to keep Sasha. If you'd ask me a year ago, I wouldn't have thought twice about giving her away, but now with a baby, and more babies in the near future, it's almost hard not to give her away. What to do, what to do.

Picture of the day (well, yesterday)

Rashes and blisters

Lydia got her first diaper rash on Wednesday and I truly wished that she hadn't. The poor thing could cry every time we got ready to change her diaper. A few days and a tube of Desitin later, she's looking much better. Hopefully this will be a one time deal, but with her bowel movements going all crazy with the introduction of meats, I wouldn't be surprised if another rash pops up.

Yesterday, Trung noticed a little red spot on the corner of Lydia's mouth. No biggie, she eats and gnaws on everything. Well, today, it looks blistered, so I'm not sure if it was something that she was playing with that irritated her mouth or who knows. I'll be giving the good ole doc a call on Monday if it hasn't cleared up by then. Yikes!!! It looks like the other corner of her mouth is getting irritated too!

101 Reasons

Here are the top two reasons why I'm finishing up with my Craigslisting and eBaying...
'Nuff said.

Our neighbor helped us coin a term for Lydia's crawling/dragging herself around, the "military crawl", which is exactly what it looks like. Also, Lydia's first tooth is barely poking through her gums. She's still a'drooling and gnawing on everything, so that little sucker should appear any day now.

Craig and his unreliable list

For the first time in my history of using Craigslist, I've gone to meet someone and the seller was a no show. I couldn't believe it! Then when I got home and e-mailed him "did you decide not to sell it to me?", he wrote that his cell phone died and he forget the charger blah blah blah. Okay, fine, so I e-mailed him back to see if he could drop it off, which I thought would only be fair, and I called him too, but of course, no response either way. Whatever, I'm pretty much through with Craigslist and eBay at that.

EBay is going soon too because I got my first "threat" of a negative feedback. Now, when I first started eBaying, I was all about the feedback, but after reading this girl's e-mail, I was like, I don't really care anymore. Basically, the dress didn't "fit her well", so she was wondering if I had a refund policy before leaving feedback (trying to hint that she would leave a negative one if I didn't refund or something). First of all, I only really accept returns if I didn't describe the item correctly, but I did! And second of all, I had a refund policy clearly stated, so why are you asking me?!? Some people are really stupid; oh, and by the way, since I don't refund shipping costs, she wouldn't actully only get about a dollar back. Sheesh!
