1. I HATE insomnia. I tried three times to fall asleep last night. I finally crashed around 11:30 this afternoon after my head doctor appt. She gave me Ambien. She's cool. I wanna take her with me to TX.

2. I was supposed to pick up some shit at a store in town here after I got the trailer from my mom's, but since I was comatose this afternoon, I didn't make it there on time. Fuckers are only open until 6:00. Now I can't leave for TX until tomorrow afternoon.

3. I am so damn behind on correspondence with people I don't even know where to begin to catch up. I think I owe like 2,593 people photos. lol (Sorry Shanti, you're #1 on the list as soon as I can find the flash card for my camera!)

4. Some words of advice. Don't EVER attempt to move to a state 1,000 miles away when you have ~800 geckos. Even if you don't think you're a pack rat, all it takes is moving and you'll be convinced that you're the worst pack rat of all. Solution? Just burn everything.

5. I was HOPING to be completely moved by the end of the month. Fat chance. My UNT orientation is on the 3rd. Something tells me I'll be making another trip after that to bring down the geckos.

6. I wish I could fast forward through the next three-four weeks. I know it'll all be worth it in the end, but damn... If it doesn't kill you it only makes you stronger, right? Well in a few weeks I'll either be dead or I'll be the Incredible Hulk.

7. I have my fingers crossed that nothing happens to my mom's truck or the trailer on this trip. Previous trips have resulted in costly, extensive repairs that just add to the chaos.

8. I'm beginning to wonder if maybe instead of having OCD, if perhaps I'm just incredibly anal-retentive or plagued by being a perfectionist. I set standards for myself that are ridiculously high and completely unnecessary. If I didn't have to have everything "just right" I would have finished moving two weeks after buying the damn house. If you guys find me annoying, just imagine how much I annoy myself! heh

blah.

I have a solution!!! Just send all your gorgeous geckos to me! (You can keep the ugly ones and only move them...)
LOL Got rack space for about 500? Seriously, I'm so excited about a LOT of this year's babies, even though a lot of them are pretty non-bling. I could easily hold back 100 or so. I want to keep almost every single Cheeto baby I've had hatch so far, and a lot of patternless, RRS, RW Hybino & RWPA outcrosses.

Now I know a little more about how Kelli feels. It seems that every time I talk to her we come up with a neat new idea and I end up holding back more and more geckos. LOL!

BTW, I would much rather just sit on the floor and play with my geckos than have to sell them. Dealing with customers is a royal pain in the ass.

<------- Royal pain in the ass.

Heehee. Don't worry about it. I think you're insane for taking so many road-trips so close together. Forget the OCD!

I just remembered that at some point in the near future I need to pick up my new AP racks on a trip South. They were supposed to be ready by now...

6:45am. Time to find something to eat and go to bed. At least all the geckos have been fed & watered. Now it's my turn to eat. lol

Pffffftttt. That's all I have to say.

Well, that and "blah" which sounds really odd while yawning.

Hey, you know what? Trying to find a gecko who got loose in a huge box of styrofoam peanuts is a gigantic pain in the ass. Shotgun is naughty, Jeremy. Very naughty.

I am hoping to be in Texas sometime before Christmas. I need to relax my expectations a little so I don't feel like such a failure. lol *bangs head on keyboard*

Why the hell couldn't I be raising fruit flies instead of reptiles?

And so help me God if one more person emails me "Hey, I know you're busy moving to Texas, but I was wondering if you could explain the genetics of _____ to me."

Okay so maybe I had a little more to say than just "pfffffftttt" and "blah".

Oh man, I just can't wait to get to Iowa. I heard parts of it are flooded! "Git yer swimtrunks boys and gurls, wee'ze a gunna need ta forge da river! Yeee Haw!" :bucktooth: :whip:




God I am such a dork.
