What now?

In many times throughout my life I’ve been both the passenger and a driver. Sometimes in full control, sometimes no control, and on occasion life is kind enough to provide you with a student driver car. You know, the ones with the emergency brake on the passengers side. Of course, from time to time life will equip you with a car that’s equipped with a rocket engine, no brakes, and a parachute(read: little plastic bag trying to slow you down going 200mph, like the one you used to make when you were a kid) and an “Oh Shit” handle.

’08 has given me many instances where I just wanted to grab the “Oh Shit” handle, and in many instances I’ve wished the day to be done, or deploy my pathetic parachute, slam on the brakes.

No brakes. Story of my life …

Hehe.

Of course, not all of my oh shit instances have been bad at all, oddly enough. There have been some moments that have taken me back, and ultimately made me smile. Although ’08 has been pretty punishing to me, it’s been very rewarding and the latest development can add to the rewards …

So what now you ask?
George is actually a Georgina.

Enter exhibit A.

I’m sure this isn’t what you wanted to see, but Enter exhibit A. Leopard gecko genitalia. Hopefully you’ve eaten already, and if you haven’t I apologize up front if you lose your appetite, and if your eating, well lets all pray you have a strong stomach. In one of my many leopard gecko care manuals and books I have, I took this photo. It’s of your average male gecko. Holes near the base of the tail, I’m assuming to release their boys to the world, but it’s just a guess.

So what now you ask?

It’s a long story as to why I even looked, but when I picked up George originally, but I was told that he was a he, and that the shop owner was about 99% sure george was a george.

He’s been acting sweet lately. Not sure why …. and among a few other reasons I decided to double check. Make sure.

Much to my surprise ….

George is actually a Georgina.

I’m somewhat relieved to know I have a female in the house … but this is another new surprise to add to the ’08 calender.
