Derek and I have been turtle sitting for the past two days.  My friend, the fabulous Kristi, flew home to Pennsylvania early yesterday morning in order to spend a weekend with her parents.  While this turtle really doesn’t look like the two we’ve been watching, the point of this post is that I think I want a turtle.  They’re not cuddly, but they are super interesting to watch and I just love how amazing it is to watch them move.  The pair I’ve been taking care of are named Harold and Maude, which is sweet, although Maude is kind of a brat.  Harold is the most handsome, stripey turtle in the whole wide world.  If I had a place for a tank, and could afford the kind of set up a turtle needs, we would be getting one tomorrow.
