*Witty Title Goes Here*

Hello, people!
As I write this, I'm sitting outside in glorious heat. It's 11am on a Sunday, and 26 degrees.
Bit of a random post today.
Firstly-a month or so ago I bought 6 swan plants, so I could have monarch butterflies. The plan was to cover 3, and when the others had been eaten, uncover those and rotate the available plants, so there would be a constant food supply. Well, I failed. I have half of one plant left. Last night I went out to discover a whole heap of caterpillars. Today I plan to buy more plants, and actually cover the others. What a dick. I got a couple caterpillar photos.





Greedy little buggers!

Yesterday, I decided to sort my nail polish. It started out like this:
Clock-wise: Swatch sticks, minis, top/base coats, randoms, and the two main boxes.



It ended up like this:
So, I haven't lessened the box amount, but it is much more organised now. Swatch sticks are in with their polishes, and the boxes have lids, so I can stack. This excites me. Possibly more than it should.

Last night I decided I wanted my nails a dark, vampy-sort of colour. Turns out, the 'vampest' I have is a dark, almost poo-brown (Revlon Dark Pleasures-Talk Dirty). It is much prettier wet. I'm going shopping today to find a dark, dark red, and possibly a purple of the same ilk. Any suggestions? I'll be at Farmers, so the options are Essie, OPI, Revlon, Australis, etc etc.

Finally-my rat babies almost have all eyes open. They are unbelievably cute right now. Incredibly mobile, and getting fast. I'll be taking some photos of them later on.

Liebster Award

The wonderful Serra, over at Addicted to Pretty Things, nominated me for the Liebster Award. It is an award for bloggers to nominate other blogs, so they can discover more blogs. Sounds good to me!



 The rules are:
  • You must link back to the blogger who nominated you. 
  • Answer the 11 questions given to you by the blogger who nominated you. 
  • Nominate 11 other bloggers with less than 200 followers. 
  • Go to the blogs you nominated and notify them of your nomination. 
Serra's questions:
1. Blue or green? Definitely one of them. Seeing I have to pick....blue.

2. Cats or dogs? I have 2 of each, but I have latent CCL tendencies, so definitely cat.

3. Europe or America (to visit)? Europe

4. Glitter or texture? This is difficult. I'll go with glitter though, as you have the option of clear-based toppers.

5. Chocolate or vanilla? Chocolate.

6. Spring or autumn (fall)? Spring, absolutely. Plus, my birthday is in October. *Cough* book vouchers *cough*

7. Even or odd numbers? Seeing as my 2 favourite numbers are 13 and 22, I'll randomly go for odd, this time.

8. City life or rural life? CITY! I didn't see an adult sheep up close until I was 18.

9. Cooking shows or crime shows? Crime.

10. ALL THE POLISH or just the special ones? ALL!

11. Silver or gold? Silver.

My questions:
1. Coke or Pepsi?

5. Favourite band?

6. Do you have any tattoos, or holes you weren't born with?

7. If you could be an animal for a day, which ONE would you pick?

8. Do you remember which polish launched a thousand polishes?

9. Ankle socks, knee socks, or no socks at all?

10. How do you get to work (or study, or to do errands)?

11. What is your favourite household chore?
