Sasha's Hard Life

Doesn't she just look exhausted? I'll be damned if I know what she did today other than to chase a squirrel or two out of the bird feeder, but she had that look on her face like she was plumb tuckered out.

Nut Hatch!

I finally identified the little birds that have been getting into the bird feeder. They looked like chickadees because they had stripes along their heads, but their bills were longer, the birds' heads were longer, and they were smaller and longer than chickadees. It was driving me bananas and kumquats! One has even taken to landing on the deck if I am outside - comes right up to me, beeps a few times, looks at me, and then flies off. He's done this twice now. I got out the bird book again and went hunting - they are red-breasted nuthatches! I had never seen them before. They sure like the bird feeder. We also have black-headed grosbeaks getting into the feeder, and I saw a sap sucker on the bay window side yesterday, trying to figure out how to get into the feeder. It's a real wild party out there right now. Lots of birds and all taking turns into the feeder. I'm glad I remembered to buy more bird seed today.

Name change

Well, I tried on the Hanabi hat for a while, but it's just not working. When I first started out belly dancing, I had two names - Chandara or Hanabi. I think Hanabi should have fitted me more as it is the Kanji word for "fire flower" - their word for fireworks. That works really well with my red hair; however, Chandara is what I originally used, and I think it is a pretty word, so as soon as I can figure out how to change my name here on Tribe, I'll be Chandara again :)

That shirt gets around.....

It's a warning to you all never to take a picture of something you bought at a store <G> I had bought this shirt @ Fred Meyer's, and I took a photo of it to send to a few of my friends. It wasn't even ON me at that time - just lying across the bed. Soon after, I get an e-mail from my friend 'Mara saying she wanted me to buy her that shirt and she would pay me back. Just so happens that 'Mara's birthday was right around the corner, so I trekked back to Issaquah and bought her a shirt. A few days later, my friend Claudette e-mailed me and said she had to have that shirt. What is up with that? TWO PEOPLE? Again, it just so happens that her birthday was about a month away, so there I am, driving back to Issaquah for yet another one of those shirts. I made everyone take a picture of themselves in that shirt and pasted it together. From left to right, Claudette in Arizona, me, and 'Mara from Texas. We totally rock that shirt! LOL!

Yummy!

What a fabulous Friday I had. Not only did my whole set of silky yummies arrive from A'Kai Silks (thank you, Jes!), but my mother-in-law agreed to stay an extra week so me and hubby can have a "date night" down in Portland on March 7th - Craig Ferguson is doing a gig at the Aladdin Theater, and we're going to be there! Hoooray!!!! Of course, I bought tickets before I realized that our puppy dog did not have a sitter that evening (my bad!) Thankfully, hubby's mom is going to keep an eye on our baby while we're gone. My early birthday present to myself. Can't get enough of Craig! ::::dancin'::::::
