Happy Birthday to me, I must be cra-zy...

I'm get-ting a hamster,
And, I feel 14...

*big, stupid grin*

Now, for my "other" little ditty about this...

"I'm getiin' a hamster.
I'm gettin' a hamster..."

That's it.
Just "I'm gettin' a hamster" repeated endlessly in that sing-song way kids have.

I am so excited, I swear...

Last night, after everybody had left and the guys had gone to bed, I was watching movies. I'd just finished Forrest Gump and decided to come check my email and usual haunts and I went to my local Freecycle group.

There he was.

A hamster with all the accessories.
So, I figured "what the hell, why not?" and sent an email. I got an almost immediate response. She said, "Well, Happy Birthday, Honey. He's yours..."

He's black! I've never had a black one before. Huge, too, from what the lady said. Names "Bear".
I can't wait to meet him.

"I'm gettin' a hamster,
I'm gettin' a hamster!"

Eric was already asleep when I brokered this deal and he's outside working now, too, SOOOO... I'm just gonna "surprise" him with this later. (That's what he gets for not reading me anymore, too... *grin* Teach him to think he's got an inside track, huh? *lol*)

I can already imagine the look(s) I'mina get. From both him and George... (laughing even harder now because I know they won't be the only two with "that look", huh Dad and Jason and a few others?)

But, hell, I don't feel like such an old fart being this excited about owning a hamster again. And, a black one, to boot...

Hey, know what just occured to me?

Last year, when God took Storm home, he also took Templeton, my rat. I always almost forget that, because Storm was the hard part... but anyway... the rat was brought to our house by Jr. He brings the rat, then promptly never shows up again, the little shit, so the rat became mine by default.

He passed first, then Storm (within a week of each other, too).

So, now I'm getting this huge hamster (the lady I'm getting him from said he's the size of a small to medium rat, minus the tail). The horse can't be too far behind, right?
*rolling eyes and giggling at self*

Oh man, I can't wait!
But... I kinda have to. The lady has to take two tiny children to get shots at the doc's office. She's gonna get hold of me when they get home. Meanwhile, I'll be figuring out how to get there. And, grinning like a fool, bouncing around, all excited.

"Had a birthday? Feeling old? Get a hamster. The "anti-elderly" critter..."

(Okay, so instead of 29 with 14 years of practice, I'm 14, with 29 years of practice... fine with me!)

I'm gettin' a hamster,
I'm gettin' a hamster....
