Laid Off / Therapy

So last Friday I received word that the office I am currently working in would be going to a part time office and my position will no longer be available. I was then informed that I had a week before the changes were in effect. Needless to say I am pissed and shocked. Nevermind that yesterday they called me and asked me to stay on another week. I am still going to be without a job come the second week in March. This is so not good. I have been applying for jobs like my life depended on it, and thus far have had two job interviews in less than a week. I guess that is good. I am trying to stay positive about it, but I can't sleep at night and I rotate from wanting to eat everything in sight to not wanting to eat anything. It is terrible.

To keep my sanity I have been sucked into various romantic "smut" novels so that I can read of a life the doesnt remotely remsemble mine. lol. And the other day I actually put together my terrarium. I got a pink mushroom farm to put ontop of the "mood" moss that I bought for it. The pink mushrooms came with a little pink worm/snake. So I put him in there too. I accidently popped off three of the mushroom caps so I will have ro reattach them in the next couple of days. Lets hope that I am able to keep the moss alive and growing.

Has anyone made a terrarium? I could use any tips that you might have! :)

Raw Food Lunch

So I have been making raw foods..... I am not 100% raw but I am working on it.

Todays Lunch... Green Soup and Bananas and oranges.

I wish I could say that the green soup was as good as it looks. I was not the biggest fan to be honest. I feel like it wasnt thick enough and that it was missing something. I am not sure what. Has anyone had any success with green soups? This one is basically a cucumber soup. I am open to try something else if someone has an idea that would work.
And the fruit was sooo good. I used honey tangerines instead of oranges. They were yummy!

Mr. Baggins

So..... I got a new friend!

I had told myself that after my pet cat (which I didnt get along with at all) that I was totally off pets. Then I came across a lady who had surprise half Giant Flemish bunnies and wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible. Apparently she had a female Giant Flemish and a male lionhead and because of the difference she didn't think that they could mate. So that is how Mr. Baggins came to be and how he came to be in my life.

He is growing faster than expected and I had to build him a huge rabbit cage. I made it out of those stackable wire storage cubes... I think they are Neat Idea Cubes (NIC). It was a pain in the butt doing it all by myself (Jesse and I are no longer dating). But I finally got all of the walls built, I laid black vinyl flooring on particle board for the shelves and floor of the cabe. I used the bottom of his old cage as his litter pan (he is totally litter trained) and he has a little tent at the top to sleep in. He is super cute! Since he is litter trained I let him out in the morning when I get ready for work and in the evening when I get home from work. He just hops around and when he needs to use the potty get goes back into his cage! It is awesome! He has discovered that he is big enough now to jump up onto the couch and my bed, so lately he thinks that he owns the house. We have had to have a few talking tos..... well as much as you can scold a super cute bunny names Mr. Baggins!. He seems to love his bigger cage too. Though it did take some getting used to. The first night he fell of the top floor all the way to the bottom. I am sad to say that I laughed first and then made sure he was ok... He is fine. He is a tough bunny... he slipps all the way down the stairs too, but it doesnt seem to slow him down.

In reading the breed specs for the flemish giant.... it appears that if he doesnt get enough of that lionshead breed in him I may be looking at a 20-30 pound rabbit. Lord help me if he gets that big! I will post updated pictures as he gets bigger!
I am looking at getting a little angora bunny too! That would be sooooo cute! We shall see what happens there.
