Crazy Cat Lady

Guest post by Jewel Cole

Who would have guessed that I’d end up being that single lady at 32 with no kids but three cats? I was always really domestic growing up and I think anyone would have guessed I’d get married young and start having kids right away but that’s just not how life has worked out for me so I’m still working on the rest. My cats are my loves though and they totally fulfill me in every way possible so I try to take the best care of them that I can. For example, I feed them a steady diet of white meat chicken and I recently went to www.securitychoice.com to get an alarm for the house since they’re there all day by themselves. I know it may sound like overkill but they are my whole life and I would never forgive myself if something happened to them! I love my animals and I’m thinking about getting a fourth cat although my brother tells me that would just be out of control and says I shouldn’t dare…

Just got home

I just got home from the mall and now my feet are aching. Ugh! Hubby and Nicole went straight to bed after picking me up. It is going to be a new day for my little girl tomorow at school. She had her thursday folder this afternoon from school and she only got one mistake. What a smart kiddo I have here. I am just so proud of her though. I am thankful that she got interested of learning every day and never get tired of going to school. That is my girl.

Getting Antsy

Contribution by Kennith Griffin

What is it about having a child that makes you so protective? I mean, people had been telling me for years that my whole outlook would change once Jeremy came along but I totally didn’t believe them, but as it turns out, they were right all along! I feel like a totally new person now and I know my husband feels the same way. It’s so worrysome trying to keep the baby safe and not get obsessive about it – I know he wouldn’t want that! We recently had a http://www.home-alarm-systems.com/ system installed which helps me sleep better at night and we got him the safest stroller I could find on the market. Of course, we’re making all his own baby food to avoid pesticides and preservatives and most of his clothes are made out of organic cotton cotton. I know I’m going a little overboard but I’m just really thankful I’ve had this opportunity. I know many people who want babies and can’t have them so I’m glad it’s my turn!

Having Fun Playing

Two kids are having fun playing with each other. Good thing my friend's daughter is here to be my daughter's playmate. She has been asking for a little sis or bro but until now I still can't have it. Only God knows when he will provide it for us. I will wait until the end :). Anyway, no rush! Especially, we have some other things to solve. Everything must be planned ahead, not just having it because we want it. For now that my daughter is still staying at home, she can have fun with her friend. Soon, she will go to school every day and for sure she will have more fun than at home. She will meet new classmates and friends. I can only imagine how enjoyable her time at school on August.

So Stuffed

Oh gosh I am so full right now. I ate more than I should have taken. I ruined my diet tonight. I felt so bad about it. I need to dance for few minutes to get rid of the unwanted weight even for a pound. I just couldn't say no to Filipino foods that I got during halloween parties. My friends made so much food and they have me brought some and that's what I have been munching since yesterday.

Almost Married

Thanks for the post, Arthur Lawrence

My fiance and I were discussing going on a cruise one night before going on a bowling date. We set our home security alarm (adt Albany information) before we set out and the rest is history- we knew we needed to go a cruise and fast! We chose to leave out of New York and head down to the Bahamas. I was so excited I could barely stand it! We had a romantic room with an ocean view and we spent our daysby the water or in a spa and our nights dancing and dinging. How can you not love a cruise? It was like pre - honeymoon and I could not have been happier. When we got to Nassau, we went snorkeling and took a sunset cruise. The whole experience was perfection, we even considered eloping and having the captain marry us. But, I knew my mom would kill me! Instead we got dressed for the formal night and we had a blast just being with each other wandering the ship and kissing in dark corners like teenagers. Neither of us had a vacation in a long time, so, it was a great experience to have to take a break from winter and real life. I hope we go on a cruise again very soon, even a weekend cruise to nowhere would be quite a getaway too!

What a nice day

What a nice day today though, although it is a little bit chilly but bearable. I hope this kind of weather will stay for good. So many good things to enjoy outside, let the kids play at the playground, jogging, checking new blossoming flowers and trees, breath fresh air and so many more. Life is meant to enjoy no matter what how it can be tough at times.
