R.I.P. BooBoo & Buffy

I picked up crocheting leis when we were in Hawaii earlier this month. They are really nice looking, feel good, and are relatively easy to make. The only problem is that the eyelash yarns are kind of hard to find. Even online. How is it possible that anything is hard to find online. I suppose its because Im picky about colors and/or that Im not sure how to substitute without potentionally destroying the overall greatness of the lei. Nothing worse than a flimsy, limp lei. No aloha for that.

On to business. Today I contributed to the Knox Fund, gave birthday $ to the sponsor child, got a hotel and registered for the Seaside volleyball tournament (team name: All Pau!), and gave some money to the ferret shelter in Washington. Why?

Well, besides my crazed love of ferrets, which most of us are well aware of, I got a very nice and consoling email today from the WA ferret lady informing me that my beloved animals kicked the can when I was over in Thailand. Buffy went first, not surprising since she had such major health complications prior to my departure. Shortly after Boo Boo tossed in the towel as well, striken with grief after losing his bestfriend/roommate/soulmate.
Oddly enough, Im thankful that, being a human being, I was able to pull myself out of the same situation with less lethal side effects.

...no disrespect for BooBoo the ferret.
