Continuation of the Word of Whenever

This is the Word of Whenever, switched over from my handmadebylauren blog.

Death in the pot. During a dearth in Gigal, there was made for the sons of the prophets a potage of wild herbs, some of which were poisonous. When they tasted the potage, they cried out 'there is death in the pot'. Elisha put some meal into it and the poisonous qualities were counteracted (2 Kings 4:40).

The War

I had just fed the cats, and Mango decided that he wanted to annoy Skeet some more. He climbed down from my shoulder and screamed at Skeet until he ran away. Mango then claimed Skeet's food bowl as his own, even picking up some food like that's what he really wanted in the first place. He also helped himself to the cat's water, but left Gypsy alone as she doesn't chase him around.

Mango the Lovebird

This is a picture of my Mango. He and Skeet are at war right now. They take turns chasing each other around the house, though sometimes they actually just hang out together on the back of the armchair.

Life

Life=Stress right now. This is my second day on the job, and most of it is cramming information into my mind and waiting. I have yet to take my first phone call. There's a lot of waiting around and goofing around on the internet, because it's not very busy right now.
I didn't bring much food, so I'm hungry. Hungry like a hippo. Our cats are rather constantly hungry now, too, because they're on a diet. After her spay surgery, Gypsy gained about 4 1/2 pounds, making her about 12 1/2 pounds total. For her size, she should be about 8 pounds. That makes her extremely chubby. She looks like a furry black pillow on legs. Skeet is about 14 1/2 pounds, which is only a pound or so over what he should be, so he's even more upset about the diet than Gypsy because he doesn't need it. We haven't been able to figure a better situation out, though, and I won't let Skeet get too skinny. :)

New Blog

This will now be my family/pets/life blog, and handmadebylauren.blogspot.com will be my crafty blog. I realize a switchover like this will likely rattle some people, but I'm sure we can all adjust under the pressure. :) I'm not sure if I can transfer blogs from handmade to princess, but if I can't, the world will still go on.
I chose Princess Greeneyes because it's my favorite nickname given to me by my favorite person - Adam. Pets are pretty self-explainable, as I have many and I like to talk about them and take pictures of them.
