Annie arrived back from visiting oxynitrate last week. Here's the great package she came with.


She came with lots of great finds.


I had a lot of fun with this swap and looking through all of Annie's pictures was great. I'll try to choose some favorites to post and share.

Thanks oxynitrate!

Everything looks great. I can't wait to see what Annie comes home with. And I hope oxynitrate likes Tolee's scrapbook and goodies. Haha.

Wow! Everything looks amazing so far!
I hope Tolee makes it home safe, and hopefully a little quicker than Annie made it there to start. Haha.

I also totally missed that the send out date had changed. Haha.
So Tolee is on his way with all his goodies form the trip. Hope oxynitrate likes them. I had a lot of fun making the scrapbook.

Just checking in. Took Tolee to the rodeo again this weekend. Got some better pictures due to my new, better camera. Haha.
Excited to spend the next week crafting and getting him ready to send home.

Just checking in.
Tolee came with a group of us to the Houston Rodeo for the first time this weekend. He got to see Lady Antebellum in concert. We're going back again next weekend for the finals, so hopefully I'll get some better pictures then. Not to many form this weekend.

Tolee had a lot of fun meeting with Yhetti and icebyrd67 at the Houston Zoo yesterday. Lots of interesting animals to be seen. And the tigers were being very vocal. Unfortunately there were no giant pandas. But we still saw red pandas. At least its some sort of panda. (Tolee likes pandas.)

Oxynitrate - That is crazy about the SWAT team! I hope everything turns out okay with you having kicked out the tenants and what not.

Tolee and I have had an exciting several days in a very different way. He came to New Jersey and Connecticut with me to visit my parents and some friends from high school and college.

The two of us on the plane:


Eating at a classic NJ diner (this one was even on the show Jerseylicious. Haha.):


Checking out a 9 foot turtle skeleton with my friend, Tom, at the Peabody Museum in New Haven, CT (don't worry, I have way better pictures from the museum, I just don't want to give everything away already :-P):


Getting pizza at Frank Pepe in New Haven, CT:

Tolee came to the lab with me today. He wanted to help with my experiment but I had to remind him to be safe and stay clean. Seems like he's having a lot of fun though.

And now he's going to be able to come on an adventure back to New Jersey and Connecticut with me to visit my parents and some friends. So that should be pretty exciting and entertaining.

Oxynitrate - sorry it is taking so long. I have no idea what is happening.

But Tolee is having fun here in TX. He was missing Canada though, so I took him to a hockey game last Friday. Haha. He had fun, but said the teams were pretty bad. Then this weekend he helped me set up for my Superbowl party and then enjoyed the game with us.  Pictures coming soon. :-)
