Gerbils and Colleges and Bras, OH MY!

Yesterday was a big day here in the Smugglerschmoo house. After much discussion, we believe that Rockstar is totally on board with starting college by taking a year at Community College! Rockstar and I went to look at the campus, and she was excited and a bit relieved to be going there. She found a yoga/pilates class she wants to take for PE, and was surprised at the variety of offerings she could delve into. We are signed up for spring orientation!

On Saturday, Beaner announced that her BFF had a bra, a real one, like the kind I wear. WHOOOO DOGGIE. After confirming this information, and confirming that Beaner was dying to have her own bra, I stopped at Target and picked up two little teensy tiny bras for $6.99. She wanted a "real" bra, so I ensured that the have clasps. She slept in the one with the hearts on it.

Last but not least, my hard shelled, soft hearted husband who was dead set against the purchase of a hamster, came home with a gerbil. He made the mistake of informing his partner, Starfish, that Beaner wanted a hamster. You see, Starfish's wife works at the animal shelter, and is an animal freak. Coincidentally, she had a very sweet natured little black gerbil that was hand-friendly right there that we could have, for FREE! In fact, Starfish's animal loving wife, Peta, had even had a guinea pig before, and still had a cage and some feed that we could have. Alas, Ivan the black gerbil has joined our family, and Beaner was last seen soaring past Jupiter in delight.
