Deric and his projects...and a Parrot??

So, yesterday Deric decided to launch his own project. We are now moving his "office" downstairs into the theater room behind the couches. Actually, this really helped with the organization down there. The theater "room" is where the rug is up front sectioned off by the couches and it looks almost "finished". Behind the couches will be his desk and chair, so when he has to work late he can without disturbing me...or if his computer needs to run all night for some reason. This means, however, that I have to go downstairs to edit the trek video when we start on that next week...but it's cooler down there, and River now has part of the room she can play in. This whole scenario opens up our bedroom for the recliner, swivel chair, and bassinet. Which works out pretty well. I will have somewhere to nurse Molly at night and there was no room for the basinett before. Today I plan on making little accent pillows for the little blue kid's couch I got at a yard sale. :-) Just thought it would be fun and cute.

We finished the storage room yesterday too by organizing the holiday stuff into one section of shelves, clothing in another, and so on. It looks good. :-) And it feels good. We still have a bunch of Deric's stuff to sort into bins, label, and put away. But, we are almost there!

I wish I could find my boppy cover...

I finished framing 3 of my pictures for the living room. I just have to go get more professionally framed. Deric said I can do one a month. So, I guess I will then. :-)

SO, I caught a parrot today. I was outside in our back yard and there was this very odd loud squawk like a falcon type sound. The other birds were being really loud and obnoxious too. I looked up in the tree and spotted a neon orange and yellow-green belly of a parrot! The robins were all flustered and had their feathers all ruffled getting mad at this "intruder". I coaxed it down with an apple wedge...he didn't eat any of it, but he sat on my shoulder a while and let me pet him and talk to him. He kept saying something that sounded like "receiver" or "feedher", couldn't really make it out. Then when I tried to move toward the back door he flew away and was chased by all the neighborhood birds. I ran inside and got some crackers and my car keys and drove around the block to where he was. I found him again and he got chased off again to the next street over. I drove over there, jumped out of my car and whistled until I found him. He was sitting in a little plum tree low enough to the ground that he could come to me without being chased again. He munched on the crackers and let me take him to my car. I got home and found a box for him and gave him some water in a little dish. We got the ID number off his leg tag and called the Animal Control. They came and got him and said if he isn't claimed in 3 days he will be put up for adoption. They apparently go pretty quickly. So, it was a very eventful afternoon. :-)
