Another Restful Weekend

9/21/2014

 
Picture
We're having another restful weekend at home. Actually, the parronts did try going out yesterday, but it turns out that there were two festivals happening, which seemed to motivate EVERYBODY to go out. They said every place they went was crowded and traffic was slow or stopped most places. So they gave up, came home, and cleaned the house instead. 

I suppose the mix of nice weather and free community events inspired everybody to go out this weekend. Unfortunately, mommy and daddy don't really like crowds, so that's one way to chase them away. They will make occasional exceptions, and intended to yesterday for one of those festivals. They didn't know another one was happening not too far away, and that's why it was so much  more chaotic. So in the end, they said better luck next year. That's just the thing. They always have these events again in a few months or next year. 

Chloe and I are happy with the way it turned out. We're always glad to have our parronts hanging out at home with us. Plus, the house is nice and clean and organized now. That's nice. It looks, feels, and smells good! They did a good job, inside and outside!

That's all today. Take care. I hope you have a great week. 

Luv,

Zack

Restful Weekend

9/13/2014

 
Picture
We're taking a restful weekend at our home this weekend. Daddy is recovering from an ear infection, and the weather has turned rainy, so it works out well. It's kind of nice to hang out at home, hang out online, and watch football. Well, if the game gets started, as it's on a weather delay. That's the advantage of watching games on TV instead of actually going. You can watch from the comfort of home, and not worry about crowds and dodging weather (and lightening). 

You know, I kind of like this. Slow weekends are fun! We got to sleep in and we're just relaxing and grinding our beaks. Plus, we need the rain and it's making the temperatures reasonable, for a change. It's actually in the 80's - can you believe that? It's the first time it hasn't been hotter than Venus out there since May. It doesn't get much better than this. Sometimes, the best times are doing nothing at all. 

That's all today. Take care, and have a great weekend!

Luv,

Zack

Bright Eyed and Fluffy

One advantage of mommy and daddy going back to work is that we're so well rested. We love to have them at home, but I have to admit that it's nice to get back on our regular schedule. It's good to have time to play, eat, chat back and forth with one another and (best of all) take naps without parronts hovering over us all the time.

Don't tell them I said that.

OK, truth is, they've noticed our increase in energy when they get home from work, and I suspect they already know this. I'm snuggling daddy more than ever, Chloe is stuck to mommy's shoulder like Velcro, and even Ollie is perking up and more energetic than he has been in a couple of months. Well, he was already perking up, but his recovery  seems to be progressing well (especially since that polar vortex is gone and it warmed up to our normal January mid-50's today).

No doubt, the extra rest is helping us birdies. Unfortunately, mommy and daddy are worn out from working, so we try to comfort them as best as we can. That's what we do! We're such good birds. It's all about being happy together, which we are.

At least the weekend is almost here, and that's good. Weekends are always good.

That's all today. Have a Happy Friday tomorrow and a great weekend.

Bye!


Bad Luck

6/20/2013

 
Picture
Mommy and daddy have had a run of bad luck this week. Mommy got a sinus infection on Monday. On Tuesday, the air conditioning went out and we had some ants visit the kitchen that weren't invited over for dinner. On Wednesday mommy's email got hacked. And today, mommy had complications with side effects of her medication.

The humans are afraid to get out of bed tomorrow. Well really, who can blame them? I'd have been behind a toy or hunkered in my cozy corner days ago!

Hopefully, the bad luck has run out. Mommy and daddy are finally getting better with their sinus infections. Mommy had some medicine left over for the side effects from her last infection, so luckily she didn't have to call the doctor or visit the pharmacy again. The air conditioner was a blown out coil. They said it looked like lightening damage. Goodness! If that coil was all it hurt, then we were lucky! And daddy sprayed for the ants and they haven't been back - but mommy called the exterminator for professional treatment anyway and he's coming tomorrow. As or her email, she's done a massive password change and has set a reminder in her phone to change those passwords on a regular basis. Thankfully, there was no virus on her computer. Her provider realized she had been hacked and shut down outgoing emails in the

What can I say? There are days like that. And I have to admit that I admire how the parronts are forging on, despite it all. They're keeping their chin up. Mommy didn't even get mad at me for pooping all over her bathrobe this morning. Maybe she's worn out - or maybe that was nothing compared with the poop they've been dealing with all week!

Anyway, tomorrow is Friday and thank God it is. For better or worse, the work week will be over, and we'll have time to relax and recover from it all this weekend.

That's all today. Have a Happy Friday tomorrow and a great weekend.

Luv,

Zack

Sundays

1/27/2013

 
Picture
I like Sundays. They're usually slower days. Mommy and daddy go to church. Then mommy gets groceries and everybody's at home for the rest of the day.

They're delightful. Sometimes there are movies, or games, or free play time. I usually munch on millet. We check social media, or read books, or just watch TV. It's relaxing and fun. Isn't that what Sundays are for? To rest so you're ready for the week ahead?

I enjoy every day, but I really enjoy Sundays. They're nice. And I hope they're good days for you too. In fact, I hope every day is good for you.

That's all today. Enjoy your day of rest!

Luv,

Ollie

Long Weekend Parrot Party!

1/18/2013

 
Picture
Mommy and daddy have a 3 day weekend. Hooray! It's so nice to have them at  home a little longer. They need the rest, too. It's been busy at work and they've both been a bit under the weather lately. They're recovering, but I think it would still do them some good to take it easy.

Translation: They need to stay home and hang out with us. Movie marathon? Popcorn and pajama party? Surf the net? Random music and video night? Free play time? How about all of the above? It's parrot party time, folks!

Actually, daddy is pondering what to order on Netflix. The cue runneth low and he's struggling to find something interesting. Seems he's ordered everything interesting and has hit a point where everything seems, well, lame. Mommy's not much of a "movie buff." She's picky about her movies. So - any suggestions? We like sci-fi, fantasy, mystery, action/adventure, and comedy.

I'm just glad they're off work and here at home with us. That's always nice. The house is clean. The chores and errands are done. I'm snuggling on daddy's shoulder, Ollie's singing a song, and Chloe is sitting on mommy's shoulder, grinding her beak. We're happy. It's a long weekend. And life is good.

Take care all. Happy Friday to you. Have a great weekend.

Luv,

Zack

Party Parrots

11/25/2012

 
Picture
Oh my goodness, we've been the party parrots this weekend! We saw mommy and daddy's flock and some friends came to visit for the big
Carolina/Clemson game last night (Go Gamecocks! Carolina won! Hooray!). It's been a lot of fun to see everybody, but we're pooped! We'll be kind of glad for mommy and daddy to go back to work tomorrow so we can get some rest.

Still, it was good to see everybody and we're lucky birds. Mommy said we're fortunate to have a home filled with family, friends and fun and that's certainly the truth. Holidays are a fun time for us. And Christmas is coming! Mommy and daddy did some shopping over the past couple of days and they're bringing in the bags of surprises now. Oh boy! And we'll decorate for Christmas next weekend. Zack is so excited that he's about to pop. Zack really loves Christmas. And his birthday is December 31, so this is a really exciting season for him.

The fun isn't over yet, though. Mommy bought some Jiffy Pop at the store and since we were good this weekend, we get to have a popcorn party either tonight or tomorrow. Hooray!

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving, and that you're getting ready for a great holiday season.

Luv,

Chloe

Sick Daddy and Grumpy Mommy!

7/25/2012

 
Picture
Daddy is sick and mommy is grumpy! Oh my, what's a bird to do? My parents aren't happy. We're trying so hard to cheer both of them up!

Daddy is sick with a virus. He missed work today and  still isn't feeling very good. Mommy had something like this a couple of weeks ago and she's afraid he caught what she has. He's tired, achey, and sad. Zack and I have tried to help him feel better with plenty of snuggles and kisses.

Mommy is grumpy because frankly, she's overworked. She's had a lot to do the past few days - busy at work, and then she's had a lot to do here at home as well. She had so many people looking for her Monday that one person said they got an error message from Verizon when she called! That's pretty bad. Poor mommy definitely needs a break. I hope she's able to take it easy tomorrow and Friday. She needs to slow down or she's going to get sick too!

I guess it's like that sometimes. Humans have bad days too. I hope they get a good night's sleep and wake up feeling like fresh hatchlings tomorrow morning. Let's pray for recovery for both of them!

That's all today. I hope the rest of your week goes well.

Luv,

Chloe

A Day at Home

6/23/2012

 
Picture
Mommy and daddy are spending a day at home with us today! They've both been very busy at work and said they wanted to stay here with us today to play with us and to rest. We slept late, played, and now we're taking it easy. It's so hot out and the bugs are so bad that it's nice to stay inside anyway.

And Ollie's birthday is tomorrow! It will be 2 years since he came to live with us. We have gifts for him. He's going to be so happy!

I like it when mommy and daddy stay home with us all day. It's so rare, because they have to work 5 days a week and then there are chores and errands to be done. But they wanted a day off and decided to take it off with us. Hooray!

There's no baseball game on today, so I guess we'll watch a movie or something tonight. I'm going to preen so I'll keep looking fresh and pretty all day long.

That's all today. Remember that you must be mindful of your grooming in the hot, summer weather. Sticky feathers are disgusting!

Luv,

Chloe

Molting Stinks!

2/15/2012

 
I don't like this time of year. It's tough. I'm molting, and that's not fun. I don't feel good and my feathers are coming out! Mommy says I'll have a beautiful suit soon, but it's a heck of a process to get it. Why's it have to be this way? Why do my feathers have to fall out? It's a mess and it's embarassing!

Well, at least I'm inside and everybody's trying to comfort me. It's been kind of cold lately, and I appreciate everybody being nice and understanding, and mommy and daddy letting me get a little extra sleep. I'll be glad when this is over. Molting season stinks!

I hope you are all doing well. Take care.

Luv,

Ollie
