Im so Bad

I promise I love to blog, really! I'm so busy all the time, and when I'm not Lee's playing Warcraft. That and i will confess that I have been getting back into Kingdom Hearts! I love that game so much, I decided to give it another shot. Because when it came out I got stuck right at the end and couldn't beat it, so I'm giving it another shot.

Anyway I apologize for not posting in a very long time. I don't have much to talk about this morning because A: I'm short on time and B: I can't figure out what to write about. English class has been sucking the rest of my creativity so I have none for anything else. I have to write a four page analysis on a short story that we read, but I have no idea which one to do. Grades are going good in English so hopefully if i suck at this one it won't hurt me, hahaha.

Dewey and Ginger promise to be back later this weekend to write some more as well, they've been really busy with catnip and the new toy and all. Well its time to get off of here for the time being, I promise I will be back with a story of substance before to much longer, my life is pretttttty boring.... haha so here's some more cartoons I thought where funny, enjoy. :-)

my favorite. haha

Never Enough Hours in the Day :-(

Dose it ever seem like there are never enough hours in the day?


I always feel that way...




I would love to get on here and blog more, I have tons of ideas to write about but it seems like every time I finally get on here to type I only have like 10 minutes to type anything. If its not homework, its class, horses, cleaning stalls, or hanging out with friends. Which I've been trying to do more of because ever since high school I've sorta become kinda anti-social. I have my small group of friends and that's about it. But anyway I'm trying to be more social and make my boyfriend more social in the process. But being social and trying to keep up with other day to day things is kinda of a task. And well of course that leaves only a few minutes left in the day to blog. I like being busy though, doing yard work, riding horses, cleaning stalls and all that. And well that usually keeps me pretty happy, but i need my friends still.
Anyway now i have like 5 more minutes left to talk before i have to wake Lee up from his nap then its time to go bust ass in the heat for the next 4 and a half hours, then over to our friend Danny's house to see the new addition on his house. So lets see, what can i talk about in 4 minutes. I guess I could talk about talking because we all know that would be interesting. Heh right.... :-( I guess I could talk about how I'm almost done with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo I would recommend that book to anyway its amazing. Its kinda dark and not for the feint of heart but its excellent and well written. I cannot wait to read the next one. Ok so now I'm down to 2 minutes. I guess other than the baby thing I haven't really had any solid world issue type topics, then again nothing has really pissed me off in the news lately except for the oil spill but i refuse to talk about that because it makes me physically ill and those damn British bastards don't care one lick what happens to the gulf and the animals, all they care about is how much money there gonna be losing and who to blame for it. and ANNNNNYYYYWAYYYYY that's enough about that, I refuse to talk anymore about that.


So that leaves me with about 30 seconds to find an amusing picture or something to amuse you until I can find another spare 10 minutes to blog with. :-)


my brand of humor is strange so sorry if some of the cartoons are a little out there. ;-)

Sex and the City!!!

So I'm sitting here watching an episode from the 1st season of Sex and the City on Tbs and realizing that I pretty much grew up watching this show. I love these ladies. They are all so funny but I have to say I identify the most with Charolett, I'm just so much like her, shes my favorite. Anyway, maybe in a way Carrie kind of inspired me to start this blog. I just love the idea of freelance journalism and putting your thoughts out there for everyone to read. I mean i know I'm not that good at writing but I really do love to do it. And i like to think I can at least come up with good ideas. Well look at me.... getting off topic again. haha

I've been watching the show basically since it came on, and i waited with bated breath for the two movies. My best friend Heather and I used to watch it almost every night one summer and eat pudding and learn about sex. haha So when the movies came out now that we're older we just had to go together. She took me to see the first one and i took her to see the second. And now that its over, I'm sad, but at the same time, i doubt its over because they'll be back to do another movie together. At least I hope. Anyway here's a photo from 2 weeks ago when Heather and I got all dressed up and when to see the 2nd movie. :-)

A Little Known Fact About Hockey

Got this in an e-mail from a friend and I thought it was to good to keep to myself, here's a little known fact about hockey!

The First Testicular Guard, "The Cup", was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974.

That means that it took 100 years for men to realize that the brain is important too.

hahahaha hope that brightened your day

Randomness

So tonight I don't really have much to important to blog about, other than check out some of Dewey's musings about catnip on my other blog. With Pictures. :-) Anyway finally snatched the computer from my wonderful boyfriend and then I can't figure out what to blog about tonight. Nothing to exciting has been happening around here recently except for going to class. Just finished my Compare/ Contrast paper for English on small hometowns. I live in Culpeper and my boyfriend hails from Milan Michigan, so there both pretty different.

Well i won't bore you all with that, here's another one of Dewey that he didn't post, I swear he's the devil cat. Just look at those fangs. Just tell me if i fawn over my cat to much, nothing else is very interesting in my life.

Okay so new topic because i talk about my cats to much, the other blog is all for them. So some exciting news that I'll be talking about on here, my best friend Tara is having a baby late this summer. Her c-section is scheduled for September the 10th, my friend Melissa and I are going to travel the four hour drive to see her and stay with her for the weekend and help her with the baby. I'm so excited, its gonna be a little girl and that's what I want one day, this will be good practice. haha. So I'll have more on that later when i get more details on the time and as it gets closer. :-)

So I guess I've filled my quota for the night when it comes to blogging. This is fun so far but I've had some writers block, probably because all my artistic talent has been going to English class and not to anything else. If anyone has any good ideas for me let me know. Anyway I'm gonna have to give the computer up for my newest obsession The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo I love this book so far, I would recommend it to anyone who loves crime novels, I can't wait to finish it and get to the next one, it is defiantly a page turner!! Anyway G' Night all. :-)

Quickie

I only have a few minutes to post today, I've been busy. Working out in the yard, and working horses. Went riding with my friend Kija yesterday, she let me get a different perspective last night by jumping my mare for me while i watched so that was nice. Had a good time. Unfortunately I don't get my own computer regularly because my loving boyfriend has discovered Warcraft, *eye roll*. Anyway as soon as he gets out of the shower it will be time to work some horses before the storms come in this afternoon as they always do this time of year in Virgina. Ill be back later if i can, haha

Me jumping my girl Valarie. shes actually a barrel racer, lol. :-)

Cat Haikus

If you hadn't noticed yet, I'm a cat person. There is a book that i find enlightening that i think all cat owners should have. Its called Planet Cat, its anything and everything for the cat lover. I absolutely love this book so you'll probably see me quote things from this book often. Its got cat care tips, lists, cartoons, and any information you can think of about cats. Its 389 pages long and filled with more facts than i could even fathom. Anyway this happens to be one of my favorite sections, here are some of the Haiku's that I happened to like the best.

"You never feed me.

Perhaps I shall sleep on your face.

That will show you."

"You must scratch me there!

Yes, above the tail! Behold,

elevator butt."

"Your always typing.

Well, let's see you ignore my

Sitting on your hands."

"Small brave carnivores

Kill pine cones and mosquitoes

Fear vacuum cleaner."

"Wanna go outside.

Oh, no! Help! I got outside!

Let me back inside!"

"My brain: walnut-sized.

Yours: largest among primates.

Yet, who leaves for work?"

And my personal favorite

"Toy mice, dancing yarn,

Meowing sounds. I'm convinced:

You're and Idiot."

So why Blogs?

I'm still kind of wondering this myself. I don't know what made me decide to do this. All the writing I'm doing in English right now at the college made me want to write more i guess.
So whats really the point of a Blog. It seems kind of self-absorbed to write blogs about yourself for the purpose of other people reading about your boring life. Though the good writers make reading a blog kind of fun, colorful writing and good descriptions make for an entertaining blog for me. So the big question: Is anyone gonna read this? Most likely not, with the exception of my friends and family, haha. Anyway I'm doing this for myself and only me, so i can rant and rave when i need to, or put things down that are just on my mind.
On the other hand I do hope someone reads the Dewey and Ginger blog i went ahead and made, because they are crazy, that and some of the pictures are funny. Anyway its morning time and the other half is asleep so I'm just rambling on and on here. haha Need a good subject, like my story yesterday. yes this really concerns me, I'm scared for the future of my family and my children's family if we overpopulate the earth. Ehhhh but what is little old me gonna do about it, something if i could, but i don't know where to begin.
Enough about the depressing stuff. There is one thing i should be doing though, and that's my Compare/contrast paper that's due Monday. I'm pretty sure my topic is gonna be my home town, Culpeper, Virgina compared with Lee's home town Milan, Michigan. There very alike actually, small towns where everyone knows each other and such. Yet so different in there stores, set up, that and i think most of the people up there are nicer than the ones here in Culpeper. lol
Anyway that's enough on my boring class paper. I'm actually running out of things to talk about this morning so I guess ima sign off of here for now, :-)

Baby Fever?

Alright so did i miss the memo, since when did baby fever begin? I know everyone thinks that the Lord wants us to procreate and all, and don't get me wrong so do I. But its one thing to procreate its another to overpopulate the earth! Now i want babies just as much as the next girl. I plan one day to have one or two, and my heart aches for one every time i see one. But that's just a female urge. Ok I can wait, the rest of the population...not so much

This having babies at 13 and having 13 babies, its got to stop. If we overpopulate the earth we all die... end of story! Hello People! I recently heard on CNN (communist news network to some haha) that they want to limit people in the United States just like in China to having one baby per household. Now this will never stand, but it should. Even if it was just for 5 years, the population would have a chance to go down and we wouldn't be in danger of running out of resources. Try to tell this to the masses... not happening. You have your Jesus freaks everywhere and your families that wanna have 10 kids. Well lets think about this, when families had ten kids back in the early days, it was because the national life expectancy age was low and farms where abundant and people needed children to help run there farms. Well now with modern science and all that we need to slow down, this goes out to you Octo-Mom, your a dumb bitch.

Now believe me i plan on having kids, but i was also thinking it would be way better to have just one and then adopt one. There are just to many kids starving and without families in the would to bring another life onto the planet without taking care of whats already here. Now some people can's seem to figure this out. Now if i am correct, which i am, we do have birth control now a days... FUCKING USE IT!!!! hello!!

Well what ever happens, I hope people figure it out sooner rather than later that we have to slow down a little, procreating is good and all, and i love babies and my female body aches for one, but I'm not ready. Now i wish other girls my age and younger would figure that out, theres plenty of time for all that, and well some people just shouldn't have kids at all. There should be a test you should have to take in order to be able to have kids. But that's just my opinion, maybe that's stretching it a little, even the dumbest animals still procreate. That's about the extent of my rant for the afternoon, I hope it was enlightening,

The First Blog

So I've always heard the first blog is the hardest? Hmmmm maybe. Now who is gonna read this i wonder? Probably no one. But that's beside the point, because as i said in the beginning this is for me.

Ok so I guess I'll start with the first thing that comes to mind, and that would be the two wonderful cats that are running around the house right now. (told you they would come up)

Anyway this is them. My wonderful furry balls of joy. There both a year old. Dewey is the Orange (just like the Dewey from the library in Iowa) And Ginger is the unusual orange and grey tabby. They are so entertaining. I could write five whole blogs about them. I'm sure any other pet owner feels that way, especially when you've raised the animal yourself from a tiny baby.
We bought Ginger at 4 months old from Pet's Mart, the best 60 bucks ever spent i might add. Dewey came first though, he was born on my parents farm last year, his mother is still living happily out there. His sister Rusty went with my boyfriend, Lee's, Aunt Susan. The third kitten went to my mothers friend.

That's enough about the cats. Actually that's enough for the moment anyway. I have some things to do here before i head out to ride the horses this afternoon and clean there stalls. So this is me signing out for the first time. :-)
