It's a good thing everyone's in a good mood.
As mentioned, the college semester came to a close for Chaco, Wolfgang, and myself this week. Meego still has a couple of weeks of slaving, and the rest of us are trying to organize all of this dorm stuff into manageableness. Most of it is Chaco's as he was living in an apartment for the last 9 months or so.
One of his roommates "washed out", more or less, after the fall semester, and left a bunch of stuff behind. Another roommate is headed home to Florida in a Honda Prelude, so Chaco took on the care and feeding of a good portion of his stuff too. Then there are various things that the New Guy roommate left behind, and it's all invaded our house. I KNOW I didn't buy that hideous lamp.
BUT, it's all good and will be resolved soon, I'm certain. The good moods arise from being finished with school for now and looking forward to summer. Wolfgang will be back to his summer job at EduKit soon, and Chaco's secured a job working in the university's computer science department.
We basked in Meego's birthday on Wednesday, and I think today, we're going out for a proper celebratory meal and activity of Meego's choice. Yes, he did like the thing that we got him that I nearly busted a bladder to intercept. Since Anita asked, here it is:
We've already had some fun with some backyard stargazing. Jupiter mooned us. Three times!
And speaking of birthdays and gazing, I have visited the new little boy baby next door. We brought over some supplies, and I got a baby fix. SO precious!! Then I came back home for a full night's sleep.
In other new stuff news, Reese shed (big whoop). We could tell he was about to strip at any moment, so decided to train the video camera on him to record his undressing. Who knew he was so modest! He did it, but managed to do so behind his "play structure" from the camera angle.
But oh well, we videoed it, so here is the 13-second strip show. He comes out of the cave, sheds the skin on a piece of driftwood, and leaves it hanging off the wood like a pair of pantyhose left on the shower curtain rod. It's hard to see it even with having it explained ahead of time, so be sure to rewatch the video about 50 times or so...

I wish my girls would ask for cool "toys" like that. So cool! May the thrill of it lasts. I think it will. Thanks for the big reveal. :)
So I watched the strip show 3 times. That means I've got 47 more times to figure it out.
Re-read my comment. Redundant and typo. Traveled this weekend and tired. :(
Maybe this is why I can't see Reese shedding.
Just to the right of the vertical piece of wood! I see it! Only took me 7 times...
That is some kind of awesome birthday present!
I'm going to take your word for it on the snake skin shedding. And even though I can't really tell, it's still a pretty cool snake video!
I saw it after the second time... but I'm watching 48 more times just cuz it's so cool.
Bet Meego's lovin' his new toy. I'm kinda surprised you didn't have one already.
And good for you for taking care of the orphaned hideous lamp and more. Just so long as it all goes "home" once summer is over.
"SO precious!! Then I came back home for a full night's sleep." LOL! Spoken with the "been there, done that, not doing it again" voice of experience.
Cool birthday gift. Ya'll should be able to see lots of stars with that toy.
It is an eclectic array of stuff we tend to collect while off at college. Things our moms would never let in the house somehow wind up being the focal point of the dorm room. Most of it is "hand-me-downs" or dumpster finds left from people who have graduated or moved on and couldn't fit it in the Honda. My roommate and I had this god-awful red leather couch with wrought iron sides that looked like it belonged in a bordello. And then there was my beer can coffee table...
Ah, a good telescope - great fun!
A while back a guy brought a thing in here that let you look at the sun and see the flares and stuff. Stunning!
Bingo!
I've never actually seen him in the act of shedding... still haven't!
We actually did have one that we got Chaco for Christmas several years ago. This is an upgrade. What are birthdays without some stimulating sibling rivalry!?
UGH, that lamp...
'xactly.
Migosh, don't let Chaco read your comment!
That sounds really cool! Out of our price range, I'm sure!
So what DO your girls ask for??
I didn't notice redundancy or typos in your original comment - kind of like looking for snake skin shedding action?
Didja really see some Moons of Joop with that thing? Cool! With our cloud coverage and thick atmosphere, those contraptions tend to point horizontally around here -- like toward the next apartment building.....but also looking for moons, I suppose.
Yup, saw three of the (at least?) 63 moons o' Joop. Saw some Saturn ring action too. That was just warmup for spying on neighbors.
