First Crested Gecko - so cute!

I got my first crested gecko (Rhacodactylus ciliatus) last Thursday! They are native to New Caledonia (near Fiji). Each crested gecko can and does change color according to their mood. Color change is usually triggered from from excitement or stress. Gecko people call it "fired up." I know some humans that turn red when "fired up." LOL! ;)

My gecko is lavender when not fired and orange and yellow when fired up. She also has some red spots on her. I'm calling her a "she" but I don't actually know the sex yet. After she settles in I'll get some better quality pics.
I still need a name for her.


Here you can see the crests on her eyes. They don't have eyelids but to have a transparent scale covering the eyeball--for protection from the elements (and sticks in the eye). To clean their eyes they lick them. Eeew!



This was a millisecond before she had decided the camera was a good perch and jumped on it.

Florida

Went to Gainesville, FL for a screening of our film Mad City Chickens. Then my hubby and I spent a few days in Orlando. Loved the warmth and the sun. Wish I could have stayed for a couple months! Here's a few of the highlights.

The best hot sandwiches. Not for the low-calorie diet. ;)



Entering splash mountain at WDW


Castle all decked out for the holidays.


Inside the T-Rex cafe. We didn't have enough time to eat there. We did walk around inside and basked in the fun atmosphere. That's a huge blue octopus over the bar area. See the little people heads at the bottom of the pic?


Us. Relaxing for once! lol!


Could have stayed here all day!

OMG

I did it!!
I actually wrote (on my writing project) yesterday! Woo Hoo. Let's see if I can do it again today.
As soon as I publish this post I plan to stay on the computer and write--Not surf the web! I've got 1 whole hour to write.

Wow...two whole days in row. lol.
What a track record. :)

Avoidance

I've been trying to work on some writing projects. However, it turns out that some part of my mind tells me that doing chores is more important than the writing. So I end up not writing at all. It's kinda sad that I have to fight with myself to do something that could be fun. That awful chattering mind voice has got to be ignored.
Today I will write!

Mustard

Here's the faux mustard label I designed for the 'Mustard Museum Movie' that was shot a week ago. It's stars Colin Cameron (that's his face on the label). He played the mad professor in my Mad City Chickens film.
