samson

Samson is a rat. 

(Mine, specifically)

He's pretty cute, and very spoiled. 

In fact, he's so spoiled that he has no qualms about

making messes like this and making people clean up after him.

And then he sleeps all day and glares at me when I 

take pictures of him while he sleeps. I never feel guilty 

because he's probably slept 90% of his life. Seriously.

happy friday!

My 10 day week is finally over! Hopefully the office will be slow and uneventful today so I don't start my weekend super stressed. So far the coffee has no grounds in it and there's fresh creamer. Hooray!

The agenda for the weekend?

This weekend is the Yarmouth Clam Festival!

All in all, it's a small-scale affair with a small-town feel.
But large-scale fun, if you ask me.

Erin Vey takes great pictures of people and their pets.
Her flickr is great too.

It's pretty hard to take good pictures of animals, she must have a really nice camera. Someday, grasshopper. Someday.

Judy Garland Jewlery is cute/fun with a little taste of vintage.
Found her via Old Sweet Song.

New find: dry erase paint
It's probably been around for a while, but I'm just now finding out about it.
So cool! Now my mind is running wild with project ideas...
IdeaPaint has plenty uses for dry erase paint, and I want to see all of them in action... what if your wall was stucco or someone did a bad job sheet-rocking?

Jan Von Holleben has some pretty interesting photography ideas.
I'll have to keep it in mind for the next round of photo classes.

have a great weekend!

Love for the Day

Here's my love for the day... look at those eyes. Found him here on flickr.

Bacon the Rat

This is Bacon, my giant rat. My roommate likes to call him a ROUS (Rodent of Unusual Size). Today he's being entertained by an ice cube as it's rather hot out. He's practically giddy when I give him ice. He jumps all around and chases the ice all over his cage. If only the rest of us could be as grateful for the simple pleasures of life!
