Where's Waldo? aka Lily?

My sweet little parrotlet, Lily....I went to change his water dish and he lunged at me! sigh..he can be so sweet, yet so aggressive. And of course I freaked, dropped the water dish in his cage. Water Everywhere! I let the little guy out, so I could change his cage papers. The vacuum scared him and he took off. Can you find him in the picture? hehe..so cute!

Blooms all around!

Today, I was able to go outside on my patio and enjoy the dry heat and water my plants! I was thrilled when I saw my cactus had bloomed. Granted it was just one small flower, but it was beautiful!

I then noticed, my hydrangea starting to bud! It had blue flowers last year when it was given to us for our 2 year wedding anniversary by my Mother-in-law. I didn't do a thing to it, but cut it back and water it. So I have no clue what color it will be. I am voting for pink!

My Little Brother - Engaged

Congratulations to my younger brother David and his fiance Steffany! They became engaged last Monday and plan on an October Wedding. My little brother is not so little any more!

Spring has Sprung

Well, Spring has Sprung and I have a new project that has NOTHING to do with Crochet, Knitting or Painting! ;) It is dreaded and it is called "Spring Cleaning"! When we move into a house, I will be ready and organized. I know, I have said this before! But this time I mean business. The month of April is my "Spring Cleaning" month. I have already written out an itinerary. Each day has a task and by the time April has left, I will be all caught up! :) Each week will be a new room to spring clean and organize. I also plan to find lost items such as my cell phone!

I have begun to walk around with a pad of paper just encase I remember a task in my head. I tend to remember things at all hours of the day and Night and am too lazy to write it down. Which means they never get done and they all pile up!

April here I come!

Blog Tweaking

I finally got around to changing my banner for my BekahJan.com website. I joined a blog critique on ravelry and the main suggestion was making the banner shorter. Not really feeling like working on my blog design, I put it off...until this week. I think I have everything finished to look right. But being the perfectionist I am, I just dont know if I am completely happy with it. Any suggestions would be awesome! :) Anyone have a second opinion? :) Please check it out and let me know what needs improvement. :)

Late Night Safeway Trip = Detection Work

I have come to realize that a normal night is never normal. It seems since we moved, we cant seem to find a normal evening at home. Last night was no different. Harrison and I decided we needed a trip to Safeway at about 11:00pm. So we hop in our car and head down the road. On our way to the intersection, we notice a parked car with a man wearing all black sneaking around a locked gate that enters to the construction zone of our apartments.

This is not normal! So we turned around to investigate, nonchalantly of course. :) The man, with his car running and waiting, was no where in site. We get back to the top of the hill and call security and wait. Ok, so that did no good! So much for security. So finally the man emerges and hops in his car and takes off. We follow, thank goodness he is heading toward where we are going. :) So we catch up to him get his license number and call it an evening.

Today we promptly delivered the information to the apartment management. Come to find out, this happened once before. They were very thankful to know we got a license number. I am feeling very happy we did a good service, yet wondering, is it really safe to live here? That is the second suspicious thing we have come across.

Dream apartments are now becoming Dreaded apartments. The end of our lease cant come fast enough!
