Since the Move

I have sat down multiple times

to write a new blog

since I moved to Henderson, Nevada.

However,

my thoughts are so scrambled,

so random,

so... everywhere!

that it's been difficult to find a place to start.

So.

[[Heregoesnothing!]]

As I blog tonight, I'm listening to Christina Aguilera.

I don't care what others say about her,

she's got a strength and self confidence

I've never seen from a woman before.

She makes me feel good to be who I am.

I can't find any good posters of her though,

which makes me sad.

Moving day was crazy.

Mom and Dad got home from the truck place

a little later than expected.

They didn't have the truck Mom reserved,

so they gave us the bigger one.

Ended up working out alright :)

Dad and Jeff drove the truck

Mom drove her car

and I drove mine with my three babies.

Needless to say, Zuzu enjoyed the ride ♥

The night before,

I tried to give them benedryl

because that's what the vet recomended.

Apparently,

they didn't like the taste.

Weeny started to foam at the mouth

(and continued to do so for an hour)

and Spaz threw it all up.

So on the moving day,

I let them wing it.

They usually like car rides anyway.

But I was going to keep them in crates,

since it was such a long drive.

By the time we got everything packed up,

the cats had been locked up for a couple hours.

Zeus was NOT happy with me

and started freaking out when I put him in the car.

So, of course, I let him out.

Eventually,

Spaz got jealous, so I had to let her out.

She got out, sat on the center console,

in front of the air

then got back into her crate and went to sleep!

Crazy girl,

she hates her crate,

but she decided to behave.

Weeny cried a little on and off

throughout the trip,

but I couldn't let her out.

She roams around the car,

my feet,

my face...

They made themselves at home quickly.

Weeny thought she hid herself better...

The following Monday,

the girls came for their first visit.

We had so much fun!

I can't wait to do it again :)

I started fostering a pregnant kitty:

Her name is Precious.

I don't think I'll have a problem finding a home for her,

she's gorgeous and young :)

There are already two homes waiting for a kitten!

And this, my friends,

is why I don't miss Arizona:

Just looking at them gives me the creeps!

Moving Day

My heart keeps beating out of my chest.

thumpthump

thumpthump

thumpthump!

This picture is from 2005

but the house hasn't really changed all that much.

I grew up in this house,

and I love it

♥

I moved out of this house a couple of years ago

but now I feel like it's more permanent.

I love Arizona,

I'm going to miss it.

<3

Hero

There is someone in my life

that frustraits the heck outa me.

They used to be my hero,

and I still find myself

grasping at the strings of the idea

of that hero coming back to me.

They lied to me on more than one occation

over silly little things

that I never would have cared about otherwise.

I was never the type to lecture them.

After all,

they were my hero,

and there was nothing they could do

to make me feel otherwise.

Except to lie.

There have been those in my life

that I thought so high of

and then purposely found their faults

so that I could let them go.

This was not one of those people.

I want our relationship

to be the way it was.

We've grown apart in the past,

but never for a reason more than that we didn't see each other.

Now I'm scared.

I'm moving away,

and I'm affraid

it's only going to cause us to grow even further apart.

I'm not so naiive to say

that it won't be my fault if we don't stay close.

It's up to me (and them) to stay in touch.

But I'm also not so naiive to say

that the distance won't hurt.

The reason I am leaving

is for school.

I have to work to survive.

I'm going to be living my life

as will they.

Phone calls, texting, and Facebook

won't be enough

to be as strong as we once were.

But over anything else,

I will always love them.

Through thick and thin,

over the ups,

and below the lows,

I will never stop striving

to have the relationship we once had.

♥

Children

So,

my cousin just posted a video

of her "gremlin" boy.

Gotta say,

one of the cutest things ever.

I'm not going to lie.

I am not really a kids person

but when it comes to family

and sometimes my friends little siblings,

I love them.

One of the best parts of moving to Vegas

is that I get to see family

and that excites me

every

day.

♥

Randomosity

I've had several ideas

for blog posts lately.

However,

they never come out right

when I sit to write them.

Instead,

I'm just going to post

the random ramblings of my mind:

My cats are still my babies.

I love them, and they make me laugh.

Every day.

Spaz and Weeny go CrAzY for catnip.

I probably shouldn't let them roll in it.

But it's too cute :)

And yes,

those specs on Spaz are catnip.

Zuzu prefers highlighters:

But I ♥ when I catch good-behavior pictures.

Embarrassing story of the century:

I burned Easy Mac.

That's right.

Easy Mac.

I got my hair cut yesterday.

I like it :)

I still miss my purple hair though :(

I'm so happy to have old friends back

and I'm terribly excited about our Vegas adventure.

But I try so hard,

not to think about after they leave.

I know Vegas is going to be a great step in my life,

but I'm sad to leave everyone.

The fact that good friends always come back,

has been proven to me

on more than one occation.

And I know they're only a phone call away,

but I can't go out at a random notice,

I can't get off work and go to Starbucks with them.

And that's what makes me sad.

Mandy, Emma, Natalie, Susan and I went to Emma's cabin a couple weeks ago.

We had a blast :)

I love these girls ♥
