It's going to be a crazy busy weekend so I spent some quality time loving on the ladies today before heading off to work and for opening night of the show! Dove, Holly and Zazzalil are the type that could just stand there and get scritches all day long. Mirabel and Cleo are like that too but they don't like to compete with the dominant older ladies. Zazz just does not care. She's a honey badger and nothing will stop her when she wants something. She just doesn't give a f... (iykyk) šŸ¤£

And then shy Thai... She's starting to come around. Mostly she's coming to see if I'm handing out treats but one of these days she's going to let me pet on her, I swear. šŸ¤£ When she realized I didn't have snacks she got very interested in my phone and ended my little video clip. šŸ¤£ But you get to see her cute face so it's ok. I gave them more lovin's before heading out for the day.

*whew* What a week it has been. Putting in a lot of work hours during the day and tech for The Addams Family every night. We were "dark" tonight to let the cast and crew rest up for the weekend run of performances, so I took today off and made it a "flop" day. Spent some time just loving on the goaties and making some pork chops for dinner. Relaxing night of movies and Sims 3 ahead and a good night's sleep are ahead.

Poor Rebel. A pretty girl came to see him today and she wanted nothing to do with him despite all his fancy burbles and tongue waggles! šŸ¤£

She may have just been not quite ready for his machismo, so she'll be back in the morning for another try and hopefully she'll be in standing heat then!

Feasting on fresh hay on a crisp morning. You may this there are 5 does in this picture, but there's 6. Zazzalil is still petite so she's standing sideways in front of them all to get her bit! šŸ˜‚

I'm waiting for her to emerge so I can weigh her. I won't officially lose hope for breeding her this year until Christmas but this will give me an indication if she's likely to attain the weight she needs. I won't risk breeding her too small. I'd rather wait until next year.

Trying to get my kids to pick side dishes is so hard. They just want potatoes and corn. Other than that they don't care. But I can't have only turkey and starch! šŸ˜‚ They likely won't eat anything "fancy" so I'm trying to find a side dish they will be happy with but lets me feel like I'm actually making something special.

Ah well. What are your must haves and what just has to go?

This was supposed to be a picture to show the cabinets all shimmed, installed and ready for the counter top, but Astrid just wanted to sit there and look cute. Who am I to tell her no? šŸ˜‚

This shows a bit better how the purple color looks although it is still darker in person than the camera makes it seem. Look how they kinda match Astrid's collar though... Can't tell purple is on of my favorite colors can you? šŸ™„šŸ˜‚

I will have to wait for tomorrow to secure the cabinet down because for proper placement I need Ro to help me set it in place. Looks like Phase 1 will be done before next Monday after all! šŸ˜

When I say Cleo is a silver chocolate buckskin, and that the silver lays over the pattern like a blanket, ever wonder what she looks like under there?

This is Freya, Stella's mom and Mirabel and Cleo's grandmother! She is a "Chocolate and Cream" buckskin. Bred to Jupiter we have a chance of seeing one of their kids come out like this, which I think would be really cool, plus some of Jupiters cool moonspots!

If it happens that way though I betcha is a buckling. šŸ¤£

Yes, the cabinets are purple. Yes, the walls will be sage green. Yes, I used a brush instead of a roller and survived the scandal.

Footage cut off right before the good part, so buckle up for Part 3! šŸ’œšŸ˜‚
