Ha!! To all of you naysayers!!

On a sad note, I have to inform you that one of our hamsters, the beloved Josh has perished. Many of you knew Josh to be the hamster I bought for Casey on his birthday last year. Others may remember that he had giant testicles for his size. Which brings us to my story.

When an animal is born, sometimes it is hard to tell if they are male or female. Sometimes you have to wait for the animals testicles to descend in order to know that it is a male. I believed this to be the case in our other hamster Jasper. Everyone told me that I was totally crazy and that Jasper was a girl. Casey even went around calling Jasper a "she." That was until today...

Today I was sitting in the second bedroom watching Casey play with Jasper when I spotted it...er...them. BALLS!!! Here's to you all you nasysayers...Jasper is finally a man. He now has testicles and I just thought that you should know...I WAS RIGHT!!

Our Jasper...now a man!!

Youth fading...

Now I usually don't freak out about my age or think of myself as an oldie by any means but seriously??!! I got called ma'am 3 times today!!! And, the worst part of this whole ordeal is that I was called ma'am by people who are OLDER than me!! People, we are not in the Deep South, and I am not old...I'm not even 30!!

I tried to think positive and decided that it was my engagement ring that was making people think that I was a "ma'am" and not a "miss." I mean, come on, my ring is pretty impressive and when I wear my glasses I do look more dignified. This has calmed me down some, but so help me if someone calls me ma'am tomorrow...
