Million Dollar Question

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Million-Dollar Question.”

To be honest I just blog cause I like too.  It’s fun and sometimes people comment.   I get to say silly things and show of pics of my cats.    And some people like the silly stuff I say so double cool to that.

Cats Adjusting and waiting for my coffee to get cool enough to drink

So my Little One is adjusting nicely to the pack, herd, school or murder of my cat group.  Yah I know the proper term is probably pride of cats but it doesn’t sound right in my head.   Peter now has a play buddy in which they tear around the house like ants in their pants or a heard of wild pigmys are chasing them.    They jump and leap over each other and play with all the little toys that are scattered across the apartment.  What’s cute is that they clean each other and sometimes try to do it at the same time.   Rosie still gets picked on but less often but with Peter jumps in so does Max, which makes me come running to scream at the two orange puff balls.   Are they a furry purrball or a purry furball?

Here is a few new pics.

Bye…

My Little One

Well I have a 3rd cat now.  I’ve named him Max or Maxi or Little One.  He is the tiniest of all 3 of my cats.  His original name was Redcat which is funny cause he is all orange except of a white tip on his tail.   This one has claws but he seems to know what he can and can’t scratch.  Maybe leftover scent from my deceased cat Socks (sniff).  I had to figure out where to put the 3rd bowl and add extra water dish as well.   I have to keep watch because the other two like to steal food from any other cat dish.  So every time there is a chewing noise in the room my head whips around to see if the right cat is eating from the right bowl.  I swear I’m going to get whiplash from it.   Little One is so playful and now Peter has a playmate and doesn’t bug Rosie as much.  Here is a Picture of Max

Coffee, Reading and Bad Boys

Well, I’ve been thinking of trying to do another post but I’ve been stumped for two weeks or more since my last post.  It’s 6:03 am and have not had a coffee yet.   Coffee is more of a comfort thing than a wake me up thing.  I can drink a cup of coffee and then go to sleep, so I don’t drink it to wake me up.  I’ve had to switch to making my coffee cold since it’s too hot to drink hot anymore.  Cold coffee is yummy too.  The hot days are starting to get hotter and more humid making me almost want to eat nothing but drink lots of liquids and have popcycles and ice cream.  Yummy, I have mint chocolate chip.  🙂

I’ve been going through books and audio books like crazy and as of today I’ve done 60 books this year.  I hope I can get in 100 by New Years Eve.  I’ve been going audio book crazy listening to one story after another, just sucking them back like sweet cold lemonade on a boiling hot day.  I was doing a lot of child adventure and fantasy books and now in the past month have switched to teen romances.  There is some crazy but droolable bad boys in these books.  When I was a teen I dated bad boys.  They were so addictive.  But then we grow up and learn what you really want in a relationship is NOT the bad boy but the love of your life to be your loyalist and best friend and confidant.  The person you share everything with.   I’m hoping I find that someday, but until then I can have my droolable stories to read and listen too.   And it doesn’t stop me from having loving dreams at night.  One of my faves is the Hush Hush series by Becca Fitzpatrick.  If anyone reads the series let me know what you think of it.  I’d love to chat about it.  None of my friends are into them so I could use the company of fellow readers.  So I have another book I have to finish up today so I can finish book two of the current series I’m on.

Well I told you I had nothing I could think of to write about but I guess I found something after all.

By the way, I like my coffee with 3rd of it being milk in my cup and 4 teaspoons of sugar.  I think my morning coffee is starting to call me now so I better go answer it.

Isn’t it lovely when you step in something squishy.  Remember I have cats, so it could one of two things.  I hoped for the less stinky one.  When I finally hopped to the light switch I found cat yak.  But I still had to clean it up and change my socks.  Iky, gross. Yuck.

Rosie, my cat, has been more vocal lately.  She will get all cute and roll on her back and show off her cute belly.  Then she will make the smallest little mew, which means “pay attention to me”  This normally happens when my hands are full, or playing a game I can’t turn away from or really into a book I’m reading.   But I do get up quite a bit and scratch her chin and her head to make her happy.  And, of course, her belly.  Peter on the other hand sometimes just wont leave me alone.  He tries to come up into my lap when I’m busy at the computer knocking my mouse hand off course which can be hard if you need to be persice in what you are doing.  The other day, while at my computer, Peter was beside me on my filing cabbinet.  He starts his meows and I ignore him until he meows loud right in my ear REAL LOUD.  It startles me so bad I jump and scream, which then scares Peter away.  Forehead smack.  Cats!

Coffee, Burgers, and Cookies

You know you live in a house with pets in it and when your friends have pets when you go to have your daily coffee and there are at least 2 pat hairs in it.  It’s like one lump or two.  You know that is extra fiber right?  LOL

I wasn’t doing to well  the past few days been a little um…clogged up in the pipes.  So I’m trying to drink extra water and liquid and less coffee.  In fact I even went for a decaf yesterday morning instead of a normal and only having one coffee instead of two.   But my birthday is coming up tomorrow and my dad, step mom (Rita) and my sister is coming out and we are going out for dinner at a great burger place that does gourmet burgers.  It’s called The Work.  You have choice of meat from ground beef to chicken to elk.  Then type of bun and type of burger.  They have over 50 choices to choose from such as burger with smoky bbq sauce with mushrooms and bacon or having Kraft Dinner on it.  They even do veggie burgers and a mushroom cap burger.   Lots and lots of choices.   I wasn’t sure if I should go there or not with my tummy troubles but I’ll just fill up on liquid today and a salad.  I put feta on my salad to add extra flavour and texture.

So with not sure what to do yesterday with my pipes not working I decided to make some cookies (like that was going to make it better).   What I ended up making was white chocolate with pecans and cashews.   They turned out good so I put a few aside for my family.  And I didn’t eat too much. And saved a few for today .

Apreciate Animals Day

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Your Festivus.”

Animal Day would be a non work day.   It would be a day for donating to animal organizations or volunteer time at animal shelters.  It’s about spending time with and appreciating the animal kingdom.  There would be special events at dog parks.  Vets would give discounts or do charitable work for those that can’t pay for certain medication or operations.   There would be free treats at pet stores and discounts on food and liter and leashes.  The zoo would be free to go to on Appreciate Animals Day.  You would spend special time with your pets furry or feathered or scaled.  You can order a special toy and treat package for your pets that you get in the mail a few days before the holiday.  There would be all kinds of animal stories and programs to watch on tv.   Some older theaters could put animal related movies on to play for the week or the day.  But while kids have the time off they will be expected to do projects or essays or write stories of animals to be graded.  There would be a Appreciate Animals Day web stie with all kinds of pet pictures would send in and also incredable pet hero stories.  Parks might host an event about pets to learn more about products or new items for pets and be a petting zoo and a dog petting ring that people can go into and pet all kinds of doggies.   The sounds so cool.   I wish it were real.   What a way to spend a day.  Oh and you can have pet shaped souvenirs or posters with animals, stationery with animals and decks of cards with animals and t-shirts, games, puzzles etc.  Whoo hoo.+

Grab and Run for Fire

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Burning Down the House.”

I actually find this one hard.   My wallet would be one thing for my id stuff.  A jacket.  Some money.  Maybe a bottle of water so I have something to drink incase I don’t have money.  I would like to save my computer and crafting stuff but that can be replaced.  A teddy bear or 2 I think.   I would say photo albums but they are all in storage closet piled up high.  So wrestling with boxes while a fire is going is not appropriate.   Most importantly me and my kitties.  Nothing else is important enough to risk my life over.   Oh my medication would be a good one cause it might take a while to replace while waiting for insurance to kick in.  I might but not likely I would think of a book so I have something to do.   I’m not saying my memories are not important by my life is more important than a photo or piece of jewelry.  And I can’t say “hey fire wait a minute while I unplug and grab my computer”.   I also might think to take my tablet with me.    I think that’s it.

Princess Lori – Once Apon A Time

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Once Upon a Time.”

Once upon a time there was me, Princess Lori.   Lori loved to do jigsaw puzzles and loved the time a day when the curtains are open and gets sunlight all over her puzzle to see all the lovely little colourful pieces to put together.   So with only daylight hours to do her puzzle Lori will sit there and pull out all fence pieces or all tree pieces ect or yellow house prices.   Sometimes she will pile thing in little groups to find them easier.

Now Princess Lori had to lovely step children.   Furbaby Peter the orange and furbaby Rosie the black.  Both are love very much by Princess Lori and get lots of cuddles.   But Peter liked games too, the practical joker he was.    So when Princess Lori was asleep in her bed, tucked away safe and sound Prince Peter decided it would be funny to take tap dancing lessons on Princess Lori’s jigsaw puzzles.   So when Princess Lori wakes up and opens the curtains to the new day she discovers puzzle piece after puzzle piece on the floor around the table that Princess Lori was doing her puzzle on.    Now Princess Lori got real mad at the little Prince and said many words to him which were not pleasant in very strong angry tones with threats of taking his food away if he didn’t behave.   Well this continued for about a week and Princess Lori thought she had beat in one night where she put a blanket over the puzzle to stop Prince Peter’s Tap Dancing Prank.   Well just as Princess Lori got tucked in she heard a skittering noise and a loud crash.   When Princess Lori found where the noise came from after dashing out of her warm bed, the whole box of puzzle pieces had been knocked over and spill tons of beautiful colourful puzzle pieces all over the royal floor in a wide arc.   At the same time the blanket that has so lovingly been placed over the Princesses puzzle had been pulled askew and had pulled all the pieces to one side.   This required much clean up.  So Princess Lori didn’t want to wake up the imaginary maids and servants she kneeled on the royal grey carpet, in the dark and scoop up puzzle pieces.   Tired and sad after that Princess Lori crawled back in bed thinking she would have to check on the puzzle much better in the daylight where she will spend a long time putting all the pieces back together or give up on the puzzle all together.    This has not been determined yet and therefore brings our little story to an end, for now.  To be continued…

Rub the Magic Lamp

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Lucky Star.”

First of all if I ever came apon a ginne in a lamp I’d probably screem and run.   Now lets say I didn’t and pretend I’m brave and I’m offered 3 wishes of my own choosing and no wishing for more wishes.

First wish.  I wish to get into heaven.  Why? Because it’s beautiful and peaceful and you get to see all your family you have missed over the years.   If I could I would want to see my old cat and play with him again.   I’d love to see the beautiful landscapes and enjoy the serenity.   Also to talk and hang out with Jesus.   He would probably be the coolest friend I ever had.  To be able to see God, if possible. To hug them and thank them for everything they have done for me and my friends and family.

Second wish.   To see my mother again before she dies.  I haven’t seen my mom in like 17 years and miss her dearly.  I live in Ontario Canada and she lives in Dayton Ohio.  Both of us are poor and can’t afford the bus fare since neither of us drive.   Her husband is a nice guy but has many health issues which she helps him run the house.  Also neither of us can afford a passport.  Sigh.  I miss when I used to come home from school for lunch and we would play cards.  Or she would read to me at night.  She read me all 3 of the Hidei books when I was younger.   She’s happy and fun and likes to do fun things and play games.    I have not been able to hug her in 17 years and I really miss that.  Sorry my eyes are tearing.  It breaks my heart that I can’t spend time with her and be close to her again like when I was younger.  She used to be my best friend.

Third wish would be  to see my best friend Leona.  She lives in Tennessee with her daughter and husband.  We met like 2 years ago and hit it off instantly.   I’d love to go spend like 2 weeks with her and hang out and watch movies and do girl talk and get to meet all her pets, since she has tons of them.  Just to hug her for real and not see her just on Skype.   I’d play games with her and her daughter and cook dinner and play games.  I guess sometimes having 2 male close friends is good but I really want to connect with my female friends.   I guess that is something I am lacking right now.   All my female cousins that live out here all had at least 2 kids and I just can’t relate.   I don’t like babies and can’t relate to kids well and then parent is always distracted with the children which makes it difficult to talk.     I guess the 3rd with turned out to be more about having female friends.

If I could wish for other things I would wish to have a relationship with just the right person that would deal with all my personal baggage and not run away screaming.   I would also wish for money to travel to see the ones I love.  I would wish to be free of mental illness.  Wishing for no money restraints would be obvious.   Having an apartment that has new furniture and not all the tumbled down old furniture that is second-hand from relatives.  This one sounds silly but to have a cook that would make me healthy food to stay within my calorie allotment everyday and it be tasty and not boring.   To spend a week or two at Disneyland.  The one is Florida, and try the different hotels they have there.   To be able to read quicker would be another one.   And last but not least money always handy for an emergency or visit to the vet for Rosie and Peter.

I know I said no wishing for more wishes.  I labeled my top 3 for the ones I want the most the others are secondary but also important.

What would your 3 wishes be?  Quick, list something.
