Ferret Friday #58 - The Mighty Hunter

There is no doubt that AE is a spoiled ferret. We are more likely to bring home a souvenir for AE from our travels than something for the boys. I recently brought home a small yellow stuffed pirate bear for AE. That pirate didn't stand a chance from our mighty hunter who stalked,

attacked,

and then scurried away

up the stairs with his treasure.

Queen of the Dairy

Did you know that the Dairy Queen Blizzard turned 25 last year? I remember when the Blizzard was introduced which makes me officially...old. Anyway, there was no Dairy Queen in the town where I grew up but there was one where my great grandfather lived. Do you remember when a trip longer than 15 minutes lasted fuh evah? When I was little, the 65 minute drive to my great grandfather's small town felt like an eternity. Maybe it felt so long because I was hoping for that extremely rare occurrence of a stop at the Dairy Queen. My parents were teachers and the budget was always tight, but occasionally we would stop at DQ and we could get a small cone. We never got to choose--it was always just that small vanilla cone, but it was a treat nonetheless. Once I was able to drive and had a job, those stops at DQ were almost mandatory when I ventured on my own to my grandparents house. I probably tried something different each time-...

Ferret Friday #13-Property Ferret

This semester, I have been enjoying the Property book selected by our professor. The book was written by John G. Sprankling and Raymond R. Coletta, and I have found the book to be very approachable. I have really enjoyed the interactive elements that make the book quite engaging. The authors seem to have a sense of humor as this line from the preface indicates: "As authors, we own any errors in the text, at least until someone with better title comes along." Instead of making the study of law as painful as possible with archaic language and cases that are difficult to fathom, the authors seem to have sifted through related cases until they found the most interesting ones to illustrate the rules. With many text books this year, I have spent much time flipping through a legal dictionary just to decipher the lesson. So far, that is not the case with this book; the authors have used language that is easy to follow. I am not saying that important legal terms have been left out ...

Shopping list solution?

Today, was errand day for me. I work a flex schedule which gives me a weekday to accomplish all of the things that I should have done on the weekend. My main errand was to buy several 5 gallon jugs of water for our cooler. Bet you would never guess why though. You might think that as a wife and mother, I was making sure that there was plenty of water for my family. After all, we refer to Eldest Boy as "the Camel" and Hubster is a triathlete. You would be wrong though. We have been out of water for days in the past--after all, we can drink the water that comes from the faucet. Shocking, I know. That was before the ferret . In December, we became a ferret family, and the ferret prefers his "meat soup" warm. The warm water comes from the water dispenser at just the right temperature to fully dissolve the ferret food pellets. We ran out of water this morning when I prepared the ferret's breakfast. While I was out getting the water, I...
