Kittens & Babies & Things

Kitten is watching The Princess Diaries with me right now. -giggle- She was laying on the couch in her usual spot, facing the back of the couch, but when I just turned to look at her she had rolled over and was watching the television. She’s “dorbs” as my bestie always says. I basically love her. Isn’t it funny how attached we get to our pets? We’ve only had Lillie for a couple of months, but I’m hooked for life. She’ll be my baby for awhile. Until Hubby & I decide to try for some little ones. Who else has little substitute children?!

Speaking of Hubby… we are still in the Great Debate of where to move next year. (Provided we can save up some cash to move at all!) It’s pretty much between Raleigh, NC and San Diego, CA… and it’s funny because we both have our favorites (I’m all for NC while he is all about CA), but we both also want to make the other happy so we’re kind of in this ridiculous dead-lock. I want to get what I want, but I don’t want him to be miserable. And vice versa for him. Isn’t it silly? I guess it’s good because that means we have each other’s best interests at heart, and we clearly care about what the other person wants to do. Isn’t that the point of being Hubby & Wifey? -giggle-

To change the subject, our best friends’ little one has his first birthday this Thursday! His party is Friday and I am very excited. It has been so awesome to see him growing up. Today I happened across a picture of said bestie and myself during the summer she was pregnant. We were laying out in our bathing suits and I took a silly picture of myself with basically just her torso in the background. It was so strange to realize that Little One was in her body at that time–the little bump was there from him growing and everything–it’s crazy that he’s going to be a year old! It makes me feel ridiculously old that some day he will be an adult… and hopefully he’ll know me and have grown up with me being part of his life… but he might not! I might just be one of those weird older people who tells him, “The last time I saw you you were just a baby!” I hope not. Either way, I’m very grateful to have been there for this part of his life, both for him and for his parents who are obviously special people in our lives! It has been very fun.

Television Time Limit

While sitting here at the dinner table with a magazine article writing book and my laptop, with no television on (simply my Blink-182 Pandora station playing & my wonderful hubby cooking burgers in the kitchen) I have decided to limit my television watching hours in the next week. (That was one of my longer sentences… apologies.) I haven’t been very productive, writing-wise, since moving in here. I get too easily distracted by whatever is on t.v. at the moment, then realize I have to hurry up and get ready for work.

It’s really lame. And I need to get out of the habit! So that is my goal for the next week. Hopefully I’m productive, and it lasts longer than the week.

The other night (the day of my birthday!) we were coming home from our friends’ apartment, and while pulling into our complex we saw a little kitten running on the road. Of course I wanted to get it and take it home, and Kevin suggested we do the same! Yay, right?! So we get out of the car to find the kitten in some bushes, and we can’t find it. Eventually Kevin rustled the bushes, and said kitten scurries out the other side only to run away under some parked vehicles. We looked under them, and all over the area around the parking area, and we could not find the kitten. Boo. I was quite upset. I almost had a kitten for my birthday! He probably has a home somewhere anyway. I hope so!

Well I believe it’s laundry time.

Amminals

Why do some of us love animals so much? I seriously have to squeeze Kevin’s brother’s cat every time I see it around the house. I baby talk to him and pick him up and pet him until he purrs and squeeeeeeeeeze his furry little self. He’s adorable! And he’s this big, kind of old, not very playful cat. But I still love him because he’s furry and he purrs. HaHa.

I want a puppy, too. Badly. I can barely stand it. Here are the puppies I want. Plus a couple kittehs. Giggle.

I want a boxer, a lhasapoo, a pomeranian, and a yorkie. And a kitty. Please and thank you.

Then some cash to pay for their vet visits and food and all of that fun stuff. HaHa. That’s where the problem is. No money, no pets. Ah well. Some day!

That’s all. I just randomly got on a cute little furry animals kick and had to let that out!
