Wow!

Exactly 3 years ago I moved to Louisville! I think it was move # 52...and I never thought I would stay here this long! I really like it here. I miss the west coast, but it's quite lovely here in Kentucky! Who knows when and where I will go next, so for now I am just enjoying life. I learned if you keep waiting for the next thing, life just passes you by. I can't even believe how quick the past 3 years went by!

Well hello there!

Nothing much to write about lately! Just busy with school for the most part!

I am doing Weight Watchers - so far I have lost 6lbs! Woohoo! Finally founds something I can stick too. It really isn't that hard, I just have to watch what I eat...and fit in my point guidelines! I am having fun reading WW forums, and searching for recipes!

Halloween!

I love this time of year!! Scott and I went to a costume party last night, I went as Sarah Palin! I got a lot of laughs, and people loved my costume :). I had a blast! It's been years since I dressed up!

Well hello there!

I have been neglecting my blog big time!!

It's been a busy few months! School is kicking my butt...but in a good way.

Get this our power went out today!!!!!!!!!! We were without power for 8 days in September due to the storm. Today I was getting ready to enjoy a day shopping, and running errands. BOOM, all the power in the house went out!! I about had a heart-attack. I thought "calm down, must be a fuse"...I look out the window, and see a power company truck! WHATTTTTTTTT! I had a towel on my head,no makeup and looked horrible. I pulled on some clothes and ran outside. The worker said we got a disconnect notice and he was told to turn off our power.

I think not! I paid the bills! There mistake. The worker BROKE our meter in the process! So long story short, we had to get an electrician to come out and fix it, before the power company would turn our power back on. The process took 8 hours, 6 men and tons of pissed off neighbors! We live in townhouses, and they shut everyone's power off for 30 minutes. What a day...I am beat. Time for a bubble bath, and then my nice warm bed!

More pictures!

While I am at it...I think I will put up some new pictures of the cats! I LOVE photography, and they are great "subjects"!

Luna and Stella the naughty twins!




During the power outage - Luna says "Get your own flashlight!"

Oodles of poodles!

We are babysitting Bitsy for 5 weeks! Wilmer and her are going to have sooo much fun!! I have been wanting 2 dogs, so this should be fun :).

Life is getting back to normal!

Our power was restored a few days ago! What a nightmare! It was the worst week ever..fun at first, but then very frustrating. It's nice to have things back to normal! It sure makes you appreciate what you do have, when something like this happens. I think everyone in the city has power restored, we were one of the last to get it back!

No electricity!!

We had 80mph winds here on Sunday! It left some 400,000 residents without power. A lot of power has been restored, but sadly not ours. It was cool for the first 2 days, hang out on the patio, have a bbq, eat by candelight...but now DAY 5 and no power. It's getting very, very frustrating. Cold showers, no morning coffee, no clean laundry, plus a lot of our food will need to be tossed :(. This really, really sucks.

Strange weather!

We are definetly being affected by hurricane Ike!! It is rainy and very windy here! I was hoping for a nice almost fall weekend. I should just be thankful we do not live anywhere near Texas! I can't imagine what those people are going through. I really feel for the people with a lot of pets! It's hard enough to get yourself and your children out of there. A lot of people stay behind because of their animals. That would be me, I would rather die with them than leave them behind!!

Having pets is expensive!

I feed five cats and one dog! They are spoiled, and worth every penny! But I am always trying to cut costs :). I just found this link for a Purina Coupon. If you can find the cat food on sale, and use the coupon to go with you can feed them for very cheap! I have heard this coupon resets itself every month, so save the link.

Purina makes all kinds of pet food like Friskies, Fancy Feast, Cat Chow, Mighty Dog, Dog Chow, Kibbles n Bits, etc…

Plus they donate a buck to your favorite shelter!

Algebra!

My favorite class ever. Seriously my brain hurts!! Who knew after 13 years since taking this class it would be so hard! Not only is it difficult, the teacher is very high-strung, and the class is full of wannabe thugs. I sit in front just to avoid having to look at their butts hanging out of the back of their chairs. Seriously, pull your pants - NO ONE thinks you look cute, and no one wants to know you are wearing "Monday" boxers on a Thursday! While I am at it, take the tag off your hat! Do you plan on returning it after wear it? I certainly hope not. What a lovely fad.

I love college. I love college...really I do!

I have the cutest pets in the world!

The cats are Luna, Stella and Bruce! They are always doing something naughty, and love to pester me!

Bruce is needy and lazy, but he is adorable and loves to cuddle - ALL 15 POUNDS OF HIM LOL! Luna spends the day chasing her tailing, and sleeping. Stella lays on her back most of the day - very odd for a cat...the little hussy!

Good morning!

Well it's morning to me!

Not a lot planned today, and that makes me happy! It seems during the summer months there are always a million events, birthdays, and outings that we go to! It gets tiresome.

Today I will do my homework, go to the gym, and pick up a few groceries. This weekend was rather lazy! Friday Scott and I went to a friends for cocktails, yesterday we ran a few errands and had lunch at the brew pub, then came home and watched movies!

I have a busy week ahead! Piles of homework, an exam, not sure what else. I do know I MUST go to the gym at least 3 times this week! I am slacking! I am so sick of this big fat butt I see in the mirror - WHO IS THAT LOL! I have gained about 25lbs over the past 2 years...it's time to say goodbye to those pounds! Anyone want them?

Interesting week so far!

Monday was Labor Day, and I had no school! It was a nice longggg weekend! Yesterday I was all excited to go back (dorky I know), when Wilmer my poodle start behaving oddly! I took him to the emergency vet...turns out he was constipated. How embarrassing! My poor baby. 105$ to tell me that, oh well he is worth it!

I am already excited about holiday shopping!!

One of my favorite days of the year is BLACK FRIDAY!!! I am sure many of you can relate! We love to shop! It's one of my favorite things to, especially when I can find good bargains. There is an awesome site that has all the store ads in one place! I love to browse them all, and map out my game plan for the day. Sound silly? No way! You need a plan on Black Friday! This site is by far the best cyber monday . It is very well laid out, and very easy to navigate!

One of my favorite places to shop on Black Friday is Circuit City! You can get some insanely good deals. I have picked up DVD's there for 3-4$ a piece, what a bargain - makes awesome stocking stuffers! Here is their ad Circuit City

Great deals their on electronics as well! I buy a ton of clothes on Black Friday as well! I have picked up sweaters for under 5 bucks, jeans, shoes, etc...I do ALL of my Christmas shopping on this fabulous day! I think it needs to be it's on Holiday! Some of my friends and family work this day, I feel sorry for them! Of course every year, someone will see something they want in a Black Friday ad and ask me to pick it up for them! No way! Cutting into my shopping time LOL! I also pick up a lot of household items for myself this day, things for the pets, and much more! I am counting down the days...see ya there

So yes it is worth the crowds! It is worth the rude people shoving and yelling, and trying to beat each other to the "deals"! Of course I don't act like that...and I encourage you to behave as well ;). It is supposed to be fun! If I miss a deal, so what - there are plenty more! Start checking out the ads now! I like to print them out closer to the day, and cut out the places I want to shop at, then decide my order. I think I got it down to a science!

Dark and rainy today!

The PERFECT weather for relaxing on the couch, with my dog and a good book! I love days like this! My 2nd class of the day was cancelled, and I really don't have much to do. NICE timing!

About time...

I have been driving around with dings all over my car for nearly a year! I have been browsing around for an auto body repair company for a few days. I contacted this company auto body repair and they already responded! Awesome customer service, and their prices are very comparable. I can't wait to get my car in, driving around like this is embarrassing!!

Sunday!

Already! Today I am just bumming around. I did LOTS of homework, some cleaning and cooked. I really need to get groceries...but that can wait for tomorrow.

Last night was Philip's 30th Birthday party! We had lots of fun! He has some awesome friends that I had not met. All in all, it was a pretty fabulous weekend.

Friday!

Is finally here!

It has been a longgggg week! But a fabulous week, being back in college is awesome! I like my classes for the most part!

Tonight is Heather's birthday party! We are leaving in about an hour to head over there, I need to stop and get her a present though. I made chocolate covered strawberries to take, and will bring wine, beer and some spinach dip (store bought). Should be a fun evening with good friends, good find, and good conversation :)!
