mrs. whatsit has the itchies

although i am a new hamster mommy i am already concerned that mrs.w has a problem with her little ear. she is scratching the heck out of it. worry worry. i'll keep you all posted because i know you're all just as worried about mrs. w as i am. yesterday sarah and i bought her a running wheel because the ball is too big for her to move around and a pink plastic house to nest in. and yogurt treats. and unscented bedding because apparently the cedar i bought is lethal to hamsters...who knew? i'm learning all about hamsters and it's all very exciting. apparently they can be tamed...what exactly they mean by tamed i'm not sure. do you think i can teach her to sit? hmm.
so i've had a headlight out for just a few months and what do you know the other one went out on the way to pick up annie for dinner. because it's maine it gets dark at like 3:30 so it was a little tricky to see and i sort of blinded a bunch of people with my highbeams. luckily it turned back on to drive home and i have since had them both replaced, but it was a bit trying. shavonne will be so disapointed in me for my lack of car care. i swear i bought a bulb for it months ago, and i read the book on replacing it...but i just couldn't do it. it's too tricky.
we're back at work today and it seems we were the only people that closed on MLK day. not that i mind particularly i just figured that schools and other places would close. the weather is really quite lovely today. it's amazing how excited you can get about 30 degree temperatures.
ps kirsten! are you really going to nail care bears to the walls? that hurts my heart.
