Current mood:  cheerful
I've been a member of MySpace for about a month now, but I didn't really do much with my space. I thought it was about time that I made another entry to this blog..
 
     I'm really not sure how much I'll be posting in this blog.  You see I already have three blogs! (not to mention this space, myfrappr, and myMSN space - so that's really 6!).
 
   If you want to know more about me or your bored and want to surf the net check out my other blogs:
 
Tricia's Musings This is my personal blog. I talk about life in Toronto, work in the ER, my crazy neighbors - one of them is stalking me!, my fantastic garden, photography and occasionally my strange pets.  Come visit.
 
Odd Planet This is actually my husbands blog but it might as well be in the list- right? People do strange things, weird things, so do animals. :) This blog attempts to doccument some off the crazier things we silly humans do in the form of Odd news.  It's funny and seems to be popular. If you want to laugh come and visit.
 
Reptile Logic - Herp Blog This is a community blog that I set up on my Reptile Logic website.  IF you have a pet reptile or amphibian and want to blog about your life with your pet feel free to register and post a blog entry.
 
  While I'm at it I might as well list my other blogs/ social sites:
 
My Frappr - Dragondens Frappr space.  I just started this one, so there isn't much there yet but you can visit my groups and might learn a bit more about me by visiting.
 
Dragonden's MSN space I'm new to mymsn space as well but I did start this one a little while ago.
 
   Well that's it for now!  I'll try to come back soon and write more than an introductory post.

     I recently started blogging.  How recently? Three weeks ago!  In that time I've created two blogs, and oops! looks like I've created three with this my space blog too!  I can't seem to stop.  It seems that blogging is adictive.  Who would have thought that? :)

     I thought that this might be a great time to tell you about the first two blogs.

     Tricia's Musings is my personal blog. This blog will likely end up having an unending variety of subjects.  Hopefully my visitors will find some of my writing amusing. 

    I'm just getting started and trying to figure out what I want to write about, but I have a wealth of sources to draw from.  My husband is quite the social butterfly, and I suppose as a result I am as well.  We are always entertaining and just plain having people drop in at any time of day or night, often with interesting results. 

     I also happen to work in a busy Emergency Department as a nurse, and while I can't discuss my patients care or anything too obvious, I'm sure I'll be able to come up with some interesting tales of all that I see during my shifts.

     Then there is the constant house renovations. I'm sure we'll be busy with renovating for a couple more years so I can talk about what we are working on and perhaps teach some people how to DIY.     

     I've also spent some time creating a massive garden.  It's beautiful and it's my place to be when I need to relax.  Even though I don't really relax in the garden ... I'm always puttering around in it- but I love it.  I've been known to spend upwards of 14 to 16 hours straight in the garden planting and doing maintenence.  It's like an addiction. Actually I think I might have created a new sport- I'd like to call it Extreme gardening.

    Along with gardening, socializing and keeping interesting pets (oh didn't mention my reptile passion did I?) goes photography.  I'm sure I'll have so great shots to show those of you interested enough to pop in for a visit every now and then.

   Well that was my first blog, and hopefully those of you interested in reading about other peoples day to day life will check it out. :)

    My husband started a blog too - well I created it and I'm helping him with it. Lets call it the second blog, Odd Planet is a collection of odd news stories and strange pictures or stories that he finds as he surfs the net or hears about on the news.  It's meant to be humorous. 

    If you like reading blogs feel free to drop in and visit the blogs I've created.  Leave some comments too!  I'd like to get some feedback and see if people are enjoying my stories.

   All for now!

     I've always been facinated by reptiles and I've kept a number of them as pets over the years.  No snakes yet, but a number of turtles and lizards.  

     In 1995 I started a website that is fairly well known in the Internet Reptile community and it's called Tricia's Chinese water dragon, reptile and amphibian care page.   

     If you want to learn more about how to care for your pet reptile or amphibian, particularly if you are interested in Iguana's or Chinese Water dragons, please come and visit my site.   There are mini-care sheets for over 100 commonly kept reptiles and amphibians, as well as health articles that discuss common ailments of reptiles, mailing lists and discussion groups to join, links to other great herp related web sites and a photo gallery for your viewing pleasure.

     Near the end of 2005 I decided to create another Reptile and amphibian related web site.  This one is called Reptile Logic.  I'm still writing articles for the site but there is quite a bit of herp care information on the site already.   Visitors can register for a free membership and contribute great links to other good reptile or amphibian related resources.  Registered members can also submit their own species related care sheets, articles or care tips by using the "Submit News" button in the user menu once they log onto the site. All contributions will be credited to the orginal author, however as the owner of Reptile Logic I will decide if the article is appropriate for the site.

     Reptile Logic members can also create their own blog.  You can write about your pet lizard, snake, turtle or frogs antics.  I'm sure many people in the herp community would be interested in reading your stories on the site.

    Well, that's all for now.  Please drop in for a visit on either of my sites.
