our bags are packed

And we're off in a few hours for a couple of days of doing next to nothing at all in the company of friends.

I'm actually thinking about mentally writing a story while I'm there, you know, getting the concept down pat and working out the plot kinks.

We got Sage a pair of rabbits, both male (to prevent unwanted population explosions) and sure enough she loved them.

I don't know if she really understood what happened to the Bird Named Cockroach (death is difficult to explain to a 2 year old) but now she has two replacements she can actually hold.

Nikki and I were thinking of more evocative names but ultimately went for something she wouldn't have a hard time pronouncing.
