New Class forming at My Gym-West Hills - Ages 23 months- 2 1/2 year olds
A Gymster class is starting on Tuesdays from 12:40pm - 1:40pm starting January 8th.  Up until now they only had a morning class for this age group and for those of us who have the kids signed up for school, it doesn't work in the morning.  So now you can go after school and get them really tired for a nap! Pease let me know who wants to sign up, so I can let Suzi(the owner) know if this class is a go or not. I am doing it with Ben and Josh. The cost is $145 for the 8 week session.

Quick Tip!
Which side of your car is your gas tank on? If you are anything like me, you probably can't remember right away. My solution is to uncomfortably stick my head out the window, strain my neck and look. If you don't do this in your own car you definitely have done it in a borrowed or rental car. Well, If you look at your gas gauge, you will see a small icon of a gas pump. The handle of the gas pump will extend out on either the left or right side of the pump. If your tank is on the left, the handle will be on the left. If your tank is on the right, the handle will be on the right (see photo above). It is that simple!

LOOKING FOR A LOVING, WARM FAMILY TO ADOPT TWO ADORABLE CHINCHILLAS
We are the family of two adorable, funny, sweet chinchillas. They are both male, and we have had them for over a year and a half now. The problem is, I am expecting baby #4 and I have to simplify my life just a little! Any parent with pets knows that the care and upkeep usually falls on mom, even though kids plead that they'll care for them day and night! It breaks our hearts to say goodbye to them, but I'm hoping to find a great home for them. It IS a big responsibility though. They are bigger than hamsters and guinea pigs, and the cage we have is four-tiered...quite large. They love to run up and down and need a lot of space in their homes to play and exercise. Our house for them acutally needs to be replaced, as the ramps they run up and down on broke. Anyone interested, please email me and I can give more details about the care and upkeep of these cuties. They live a long life, 20yrs or more, this is a big commitment. We live in Valley Glen, if interested you could come by and see them. I can be reached at stinewhigham at yahoo.com
