Hamster Battle

Published by admin under Pandemonium on July 8, 2010

I got another opportunity through MomSelect to play with Cepia’s awesome Zhu Zhu Pets. Only this time it was their new Kung Zhu line. I thought for some reason I had signed up to receive one to review and then give one away on my  bloggity blog.  Imagine my surprise when the fed-ex guy drops off the box the size of a small kitchen appliance full of Kung Zhu pets and accesories. I freaked. Turns out they wanted me to host a party.

I completely embraced my inner ninja. I got some inexpensive $1 white fabric from Walmart to make some nija headbands for the kids to color on w/ some fabric markers. We had orange chicken, egg rolls, fruit kabobs (minus kabob sticks….don’t ask I think we just ended up throw’n the fruit in a bucket. Never realized lil wooden sticks could be such a hazard….) and trail mix. What ninja warrior or special forces ranger wouldn’t love that, right? I had planned a bunch of games, but the kids really enjoyed the Kung Zhu pets so much they never got around to it. Half of them didn’t even color their headbands ;( lol. I think Matt was like the best cousin ever that day. The majority of the children we had over were Vera & Naomi’s 2nd cousins. They’re all right in that age range to really enjoy battery operated hamsters.  The kids got to take home a Kung Zhu hamster and a corresponding battle armor. That really made their day.

Hamster battle has continued on in our household since. Those things make some weird noises….like horse and lion noises. I finally got it all picked up the other day. I was sneaking it away piece by piece so Vera wouldn’t notice. She was REALLY into them. More so I thought then the originals. I found that kind of humorous because the Kung Zhu’s were marketed to little boys. I guess Cepia hasn’t met our warrior princess haha.

They Want to Suck Your Blood

I got this in the mail last week (took me awhile to scan it and post about it because I’m that busy), and had a hard time believing my eyes what I was reading. South Texas Blood & Tissue Center is actually using the hype surrounding the release of Twilight’s 3rd movie Eclipse to promote blood donation.

It’s brilliant. Vampires….blood….yeah. I’m actually kind of bummed that I am throwing a party on Sunday. I won’t be able to go donate to get an Eclipse Blood Drive T-shirt ;( hehe. On-top of that I’m insanely bummed that I won’t be getting the chance to win some movie tickets do something for a good cause. However just because I’m a loser doesn’t mean you have to be. If you live in the San Antonio Area (and some surrounding locations) get out there and DONATE! Come on….they want to suck your blood, how awesome is that?!?!

Here is a list of the locations you can donate at:

San Antonio

Donor Pavilion:6211 IH-10 West

Northeast Donor Room:8527 Village Dr., Suite 106

Southeast Donor Room:3158 SE Military Dr., Suite 104

Westover Hills:10555 Culebra, Suite 107

Shavano Donor Room:4079 N. Loop 1604 West, Suite 102

New Braunfels

The Marketplace: 651 N. IH35, Suite 830

Victoria

1109 Sam Houston Dr.

I’m challenging all of you to go and donate. You may not live here where you can participate in our “Eclipse” blood drive, but you can donate elsewhere. Take a picture of yourself donating (sans pictures of needles otherwise I might just pass out) and share them with me. I may just have a lil twilight prize  up my sleeves for yall if you do. OH and if you do go to the Eclipse blood drive I wear a size M t-shirt…..j/k….sorta.
