I was craving fake potato pancakes, so we bought manischewitz mix this week. Today, boy mixed it up with minced onion and now the house smells of fried fried stuff. Yum.

My parents should be here soon. The house is a mess, but not as much as it was. Timing was bad this week--ran out of sleep meds, pollen season hit hard, and my period decided to show up--exacerbated by anemia. The bathroom is clean, though, and the kitchen is soso. Everytime I hear a car door, I jump up and look out the window. I've made some sweet tea (decaf). Hopefully it's okay for dad--I don't buy instant tea, so he'll have to settle for decaf green tea.

I moved the platform feeder to the kitchen window. Only the chickadee was brave enough to hit the front window location and the squirrels kept decimating the food. Now it's around the side of the house. The chickadee is quite happy with this location, of course, because now he can sit there and grab exactly the seeds he wants, instead of picking and dropping from the cage feeder.

My cardinals are convinced they can land at the perchless (cage cylinder) feeder. I feel sorry for them. Next paycheck, I'm buying a feeder they can use. The old one keeps getting knocked down by the squirrels and it's broken up pretty badly.

I can't find my roundnose wire pliers. I was trying to make some earrings for mom, but I need to turn some rings out of anodized copper and I need my roundnose pliers. The regular wire pliers (not craft) aren't doing the trick.

I get to see my mommy and daddy soon!

Okay, that has to be it :) I've been wracking my brain trying to find anodized copper (can't find anodized aluminum in 22 gauge and the 24 gauge is way too soft), since anodized niobium is pricey.

Depending on what you're doing, www.theringlord.com has enameled and silvered enameled copper wire. The silvered is silver plated then enameled so it's a lot brighter. But, it doesn't come in 22 gauge.
