More Mischa

Mischa is still doing well. :) She's fitting right in with us. So far, she's got two speeds: off and warp drive!! This picture was taken very near the "off" stage. As you can see, she was actually sitting still and cooperating with me.

Rat Basketball

As part of a Behavior Modification project in one of my psychology projects, my group decided to work with a local zoo to train ordinairy rats to do something new. Basketball. Yep, Basketball. It was a very interesting experiment (and a successful one, too!!).

We basically taught them how to roll a ping pong ball to the opposite side of the box they were on, pick up the ball, and put it through a basket we'd made. There were a few more steps to it than that, but you get the idea. :)

Bee Rock Revisited

By request, here's a few more shots of Bee Rock. Enjoy! :)

If I recall correctly, the first two shots were taken of me and hubby on top of Bee Rock (shown better in the third picture). If you look really closely at picture #3, you can see us standing at the top. I don't do heights at all so, it was an interesting experience.

Welcome home, Mischa!!

This is our adroable new kitten, Mischa. We just got her last night from a rescue group we found on Petfinders.com. She's really very sweet and affectionate and loves to play. In fact, she's perched in my lap, helping me type my blog this morning!!

I tried to get one of her by my shoe to show how tiny she is (or how big my feet are......nope.....let's stick with tiny kitten.) :)

She's a little over three months old (we think) and is an absolute doll. She even figured out how to work this toy in just a few minutes (there's a ball that runs in a track around the scratchy center). She's also totally a lap cat which is really cool, since I've never really had one of those before. When she wasn't playing last night, she was curled up in my lap. :-D

So here she is, our newest member of the family. Welcome home, Mischa!

Sky Watch Friday

This is Bee Rock in north central Tennessee. Taken when we were on vacation a while back. A friend of our family runs a really nice Bed and Breakfast there. :)

"Y" is for Yelling!!

Which is what I did on my first, last, and only ride on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disney World (sorry for another Disney picture, Aunt Sharon!!) I am quite the coaster chicken and thought I had conquered my fears....apparently I have not. :)

Happiest Place on Earth

Some pictures from when Hubby surprised me with a trip to Disney for my birthday last year.
