A Happy Birthday Wish

Happy Birthday to my little brother (who isn't so little anymore!) :).

What Up.......?

So changes abound in my life. I still haven't completely freaked the heck out but that might come. I think the fact that I have some very viable options helps me from just flipping out and hiding in my bed.

My lease is up at the end of November and in order to save money and be safe and secure, my wonderful friends Jen and David offered for me to live with them. They have a big house and lots of space. The kitties are welcome and that is good too. So, I took them up on it (after several "Are you SURE???"). I have to live in Ft Worth, but I think I can deal :). I am so grateful for the offer and the fact I have such wonderful friends who even thought of allowing me to do this. It takes so much more stress off. They rock and I love them for it.

Thanksgiving is coming up and I was actually wondering how it was going to work this year. You should know Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and I love making the menus and cooking. Well since I will be packed up this year, we are just going to do it at Mom and Dad's. The offer is: Mom gets all the stuff for dishes, I cook all day and she gets to watch football. Works for me! I will be a little sad because Simon LOVED this time of year too. You could tell even though he was a cat and couldn't actually tell me. He loved Thanksgiving too. I will miss him a bit more on that day. I know it seems silly to some people but I know the truth :).

Okay, that is it for now. I am still alive and still kicking. I am so grateful for all my friends, family and those who are just kind. I feel the universe is trying to correct itself and I just would like it to do it quickly.

Week Wrap-up

My first week of unemployment has actually been a busy one. I got a lot done and visited with some girlfriends I don't get to see a lot. And yes, it is almost 4 AM on Saturday. I woke up around 3 and probably need to get back to sleep for a little bit more!

First things first though. I had an interview today for an open ended contract job with a great company. I think it went well and should hear something on Monday or Tuesday. At least what the next step will be in the process. Good thing too because my car had to have engine thermastat issues this week. Awesome. That is all fixed - just very annoying timing.

Sir FB got his e-collar off Thursday and boy is he a happy cat. He is now saving me from the evil pony tail holder. Good kitty :). His paw looks great and I am just relieved it is over. I know he is too. Although he was very cute in his pouting ways.

Thursday I went to the zoo with some friends and their kids (4 babies - one set of twins , 4 adults. One of us went to the bathroom and we were out numbered!!!). I love the zoo and I was able to spend some time with some great ladies. It was all good. And the ticket was only $1 from Google offers! So that saved me $11 right there! Wednesday, I actually just had the twins while their mom went and ran some errands. I survived and even had fun . They are very good kids though so it wasn't a surprise. However I really admire her because after 3 hours, I was very tired :). I was happy to come home and take a nap. At 14 months old, they are very mobile and very much into everything!

Time to try to get a bit more sleep. Sierra has gone to sleep in the other room because I have disturbed her and Sir FB has found another hair thing to attack. And I wonder why they all end up under my bed :).

Later!

Guess who is free now!

Aggie Band Picture

Last weekend, I went to the A&M/Arkansas game. No comment on our little 2nd half meltdown (I pouted as much as Sir FB did though). Here is a picture from half-time. The Aggie Band!!! Dang, it was so good to see them live. Love, love, love!!!!!! This was one thing that day that filled me with pride :). By the way, the Arkansas band was good however their halftime show theme was "Songs from Cartoons". Okay...................
