Attention Betsy

This is my first official humzoo blog. Betsy has been harassing me to open a humzoo account for weeks now. I've been meaning to do it, i've just been insanely busy. I'm trying to figure out everything on this account so please forgive me if something looks jacked up. :) A little about me, I live in Springfield IL. I work at Horace Mann as an IT Quality Assurance Analyst, I love my job!! I have a wonderful, amazing boyfriend named Brian. We are currently in the process of working on selling my house, it's taking forever and i'm sure that will be much of blog topics in the future. Brian has three wonderful daughters that I love spending time with. Onto my blog....


I've had a sore throat for days now, the only thing that makes it feel better is hot tea, thank god for hot tea! Yummmm- this tea is THE BOMB!!!


I have this slight obsession with bugs, Betsy I know you think that is weird, but hey- everyone has their 'thing'. I bought a butterfly house and purchased some larvae via the internet a few weeks ago
Look at these little guys when I first got them on 4-2-08

Man they get big quickly! 4-06-08

I wanted to take them out of the jar and let them crawl on my hands, but I refrained- I didn't want to kill them, Brian's kids have been watching them grow with me. 4-14-08

They finally formed their cocoons, it's amazing how they do that. 4-16-08


I moved the cocoons to the butterfly house when Brian had the girls so they could see it. 4-19-08

We have a butterfly!!! This was the only one that hatched as of Sunday. When I woke up this morning four out the five were out. I didn't have a chance to take pictures this morning because I was pressed for time before work. This weekend Brian has the girls so I plan on having them release them. I'll get more pictures before we let them go because they are so pretty!



Next project, Raise-A-Frog kit!! YYYEEESSSS!!! :)
