SATC Season 6 is out!
I spotted a blue parakeet at my wild bird feeder this morning..poor thing..i'm sure he escaped from someone's window and now he's trying to fend for himself in the 'wild'...how would I even go about catching him? I doubt that I could...I suppose I'll just leave food and water out and hope he comes back often. I wonder where he lives? Do they build nests in the wild? I mean, when a bird is born in captivity and only knows human conveniences, do they know how to survive outside that environment?
I made a few more Gaffer lentil sets last night, a nice emerald green, and a tangerine with blue and green...I started a purple set, but my cat took over my chair and declared I was done making bead for the night (it was 12:30am)...
So i have to finish that set this morning...I wasn't going to post these for sale, but if you're interested, you can email me...I figured ya'll had enough of these for awhile, so I was just playing around with colors and experimenting for myself...I really enjoy that Gaffer glass (Gaffer is the manufacturer of the glass - in New Zealand), its softer and clearer than Moretti, the Italian glass I typically use...I also have some new Bullseye (new to me) to play with, maybe I'll drag that out and see what I can do with it. They have a pink and purple series that is not found in Moretti and is really nice!
I picked up copies of Season 6 Sex and the City for Corina and me yesterday...Target has them on sale...I try to keep Corina updated on the latest w/ the show...we used to talk about it all the time 'way back when' but not so much anymore...although I do have all the seasons on DVD and watch them over and over again...I hope HBO or someone comes up with another great chick show...otherwise, these DVD's will have grooves in them where i've played them over and over again...ha.

There are some escaped parrots that live near Town Lake and have for enough decades to be considered wild again. But I'm not sure about your little parakeet.
One way to catch him would be to put a bird cage out with food and water in it. He might enter it on his own and stay there, since it would feel familiar. One worry, however would be your darling kitties...
Michelle and I are getting ready to watch Sex and the City season four (she hasn't seen them before). J and I don't own the DVDs - any idea where we can get them cheap?

Cheapo's on Lamar carries DVD's for cheap....I dunno if they have SATC, but its worth a trip or call to find out. Target has them around 30 bucks..Amazon or Half.com might have them cheap too. I get a lot of books through Half.com - The DaVinci code for $9.00..even w/ shipping it was cheaper than Bookstop down the street...(uh oh, i'm not shopping 'local', my stores might not survive..i'm a bad consumer..!)
I'm glad to know the birds might acclimate to the wild properly. I guess by now he'd be dead if he didn't find food/shelter...it was very odd to see 'blue' in the feeder, when I've been seeing a lot of 'red' from the Cardinal family. We have a pair who are feeding their young - its a hoot to watch it all happen...i love those cardinals!!

Try deepdiscountdvd.com . They have good prices and no shipping fees (but be prepared to wait a few weeks for delivery).
