My Life In Pictures...

24 January 2013

stretchy kitty / making granola all day long / date night with the hubby / getting my pecan fix on / words of wisdom from a southern napkin / I made cookies! / shadowy peace / thriftacular lamp / blood oranges = delicious

This is not the week to get sick!  Alas, this is the week that I've been sick...and the hubby too.  *sigh*  We always get sick at the exact same time which means that we can't really take care of each other and we tend to be real grumpy pants all 'round.  Bleh.

Although, today we put aside our illness and grumpy mcgrumperson ways in order to help a stray kitty in need.  The kitty was too injured to survive long so we had to make the choice to euthanize her (um, who was a sniffly snotty hot mess at the vet's office?...this lady!) but we know we did the right thing.  Poor kitty was in such pain!  She now resides under our shady oak tree in the backyard and I hope she rests there knowing that we claimed her as our own during the brief time we had her in our arms.  Be sure to hug your furry loved ones close tonight, eh?  I know I will...

Thankfully, not all of our week has been about sickness and sadness...it's been about school stress, long work hours, band practices every night of the week, etc.  Ha!  It's also been about food, friends and fun, and even a thrifting adventure thrown in.  And lots of reading of books!  I've read up on ASL, on vegan baking and a few other interesting things...

And here's what I've been reading on the web:

How to pet a kitty.

No bake cookies seem so appealing lately...

More kitty stuff!  I don't think I've peed in years without a cat visiting me in the bathroom...

These creepy food facts will always haunt me.  I'll never drink another Coke ever, ever, ever again...

Sophie from Her Library Adventures talks about nurturing one's creative soul.

I'm obsessed with this blog and I just want to crawl up into the pictures and live in them.

Popcorn is no longer an option for me but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate a good recipe!

Ever imagined what it would've been like if The Doors had sung Reading Rainbow?  Imagine no longer...

What personality type are you?  I'm an INFJ.

This.  *sniffles*

That's all the energy I have for today.  Now it's time for some juice, some tangelos, a few hot toddy's and doggy snuggles.

  1. Thank you for helping that poor kitty. I bet he'll go on to be one of your guardian angels now. At least that's how I always imagine that it works. I hope that y'all feel better soon.

  2. I am so so so so sorry about that poor kitty, but so proud of y'all for taking care of her! I save any animal I can... All animals, no matter how big or small, are gentle souls. I love our babies and they know how much Jen and I adore 'em! I am also sorry you've been sick!!! I hope you feel better soon!!!

    Oh! I'm a ENFJ!

    As for the fast food, the coca-cola one doesn't bother me much - I've known that for a while and I'm a horrible soda drinker. Eep! But the rest... ick. Jen and I read about the nugget... paste... a long time ago and it's SO nasty!

  3. Oh, how rubbish about the cat! But lucky you guys took care of it and were there for it at the end.

    P.S.: Those two kitty links are so true!
