Bunnies, green smoothies, and hard good-byes...

I have four cockatiels, only two of which like each other. Fortunately, my old roommate has two cockatiels, both of which like the two that I have that don't like each other! You following me? So, we decided to have "birdy sleepovers" where we exchange birds so that they can see their friends. When we lived together, they were with their friends 24/7. But, we both moved this year so they don't get to see each other very often. This past week I had one of her birds while she had one of mine. Today was the "trade back" day, and what a rough one it was. None of the birds were happy about the situation. When she brought my Angel back to me, he started biting my face in protest of being pulled from his friend, Chaucer. When my roommate took Phoenix back, Misty flew to the window, trying to follow his friend, calling to him the entire time. It was absolutely heart breaking to see them so distressed. Sometimes I feel the happy time spent with their friends isn't worth the hard good-bye afterwards. It's not a forever good-bye, and they see one another every second week or so. But it's never any easier to force them to part. They will be depressed today, and probably a little bit tomorrow as well. Hopefully they'll be back to their happy, singing selves by the weekend.

On a positive note, I also had a sleepover. :) My best friend came and spent Tuesday evening with me. We put on a Power Yoga DVD and stretched and sweated in my living room, and then did a dance workout (which was not very good). Dinner was delicious - we had tofu cooked in vegetable broth and garlic, with a really gorgeous salad. We decided to watch a movie together, so we made green smoothies to sip while watching our favorite actor, Vin Diesel in his newest film: Babylon A.D. It's kind of sci-fi, and very action-packed so if you're into that sort of thing, (or just into Vin Diesel like we are) then I definitely recommend it. :) We also had a green smoothie and some herbal tea together this morning while we studied. She has already left for class, and I need to go to the grocery store and the book store. But, to keep you all entertained while I'm away, here is photographic evidence that bunnies LOVE green smoothies!









































See the little bit of green smoothie on his chin?! How cute is my Oni-poney? Too cute! -lol- Have a great day!
