boy its been a busy week and a half... first i thought i'd share a pair of pics from this week :)

Kiwi and Mango-


Tumbler and Dart-


Drakah-


she's so hard at work-


now for the quick stories... been kept busy at school lately lots of exams but i think i'm doing VERY well, which is good.  i have one class i have to wake up early for that is utterly pointless but if it helps me raise my GPA i'm not complaining.  So last sunday my engine in my car exploded and so i've been carless (and will remain so) until i get something worked out.  I've been riding my bike and walking both to school and work and let me tell you my body is protesting a 7am bike ride every morning... poor body ;)  it sucks, but i'm glad that i at least live in town where it isn't going to cost me my job or my schooling :)

then last week wednesday as i was riding from school to work, a freaking mini van ran into.  I've been feeling alright but my back and neck are still a little sore.  good news is my bike and her bumper really took the worst of it.  could have been a much worse story.  ::sigh::

i've also been working on re-arranging my house some and adding the extras you see in the pics above to allow my guys out in the main room more.  they are really loving it so far and i hope it continues like that :) the only issue i'm running in to is that kiwi has a serious magnetism to andi's cage (even when she's covered so they can be out) and he crawls down the back corner to peek around the blanket and talk to her.  andi doesn't seem to like it much and for some reason kiwi MUST do it.  he will fly there repeatedly until i distract him sufficiently to make him stop (i.e. cage him or give him a treat).  brat <3

Great pictures!

I am glad you are ok...vans can do some serious damage. My dads motorcycle accident was with a van..oiy. Shane has been hit by cars 3 times while biking. All when he was younger and he was a very cautious little boy but the cars came out of thin air. I guess the one time he was banged up pretty bad with lots of broken bones. Scary stuff.
