hiya folks! hope you all had an amazing weekend! i really enjoyed the time tom and i shared this weekend, we got a great workout and did a little exploring around town. this is rare since we don't particularly care for the town we live in. on wednesday, tom ventured around town because he is doing some murals at work and they need to be specific to the area that we live in. he found some really great places and the
sulfur creek nature center was one of them! when he mentioned it that day, all he said was...bird sanctuary and i was sold!
i googled up the place to read a bit more about it and found out they needed volunteers so i got super excited about it. i used to work at an animal sanctuary called,
safari west, when in high school and for a whole summer i was their sole animal dietitian!! my favorite job hands down and being able to do that again would be amazing and fulfilling to me in so many ways. i love animals so much and what is better then helping beautiful creatures? not much i can tell you.

i have a hard time with zoos. i love them but then i hate them. i think learning about our local animals is important but seeing them all cooped up makes me said, i want to free them. the nature center at the moment needs help with docent's so i would potentially go to schools and educate people about the local birds in the area and then in 2013 i can apply to help in the hospital that is there, feeding animals and whatever else.
i found the next bird i want to get tattooed! he is an american kestrel and is the smallest falcon! he was adorable! they also had a barn owl and screech owls that looked like babies but they were full grown, AMAZING!!
the magpie was also a favorite, we were, at one point talking to each other. i would say hi and he would sqwuak back to me...it went on for about 10 minutes. it was super silly. as you can see i dressed for the part...me and the coyote t-shirt. i felt so bad for him, he looked so sad and depressed. i wanted to free him and cuddle him forever!
it was a beautiful day out and we got a great workout so i thought a little ice cream would be just the ticket and you know what...it was! pecan praline, i love you so much! we then hit the thrift stores where i scored not one BUT two high waisted jeans and a couple of really cute dresses. will show more of those finds on wednesday! eek!!!
xo,
