The flying gecko that we were buying didn't survive the trip. ;_; I'd never even "met" the little critter, but I bawled like a baby and trudged around the rest of the day anyway. Ugh, the idea that this poor little critter died by himself, scared because he was being shipped somewhere- THINGS I SHOULD NOT THINK ABOUT! Ryan contacted the breeder who said that in the entire time he's been breeding lizards he'd only had three die, and one of which was also shipped to SC. So we're thinking it was someone who mishandled the box. Bastards. After this we decided not to try again because I really just couldn't take another dead lizard.

So Saturday after Ryan and I had delicious Indian food we went to the pet store to find a crested gecko. Crested geckos are relatively easy to take care of, they're cute, and they can stick to things. The ability to stick to things is a big plus for me... for some reason. Amazingly we found one we wanted immediately. Ryan had originally said I could pick him out, but he fell in love with the one we ended up buying, so I more or less just had to agree.

It's fine though, I'm pleased with our new critter, who we named Phineas. We figured since he and Ferb were the same type of lizard it just made the most sense. Though we came
really close to naming him Major Monogram.

Ryan bought me a new camera for my birthday! But wait, this is the part you weren't expecting! It's a point and shoot. I've recently started using our old (2007) point and shoot a lot because it's just so much easier than my DSLR. So I found a highly rated camera that I can use when I don't feel like lugging around my camera bag. I'm expecting to use it a lot at WDW. :3

Saturday night I went to bed and everything was fine, but when I woke up Sunday morning my ankle was hurting like crazy. I have
no idea what happened. It's not swollen or bruised, it just really freakin' hurts. I'm wearing an ankle brace today, and if the pain doesn't go away soon I'll call the doctor. I hope that doesn't have to happen, because I'm not sure I'd be able to shave my legs and it's always awkward having someone examine unshaven legs.


So that's about it... making this bullet kind of useless. >_>
