Is it Springtime Yet?

This weather is confusing my system. One day it’s so cold the moisture in your nose creates little icicles. The next it feels like Spring is on the way.

Everyone around here is sneezing. Brother Jay’s allergies are acting up.
The cats are running around like little maniacs, trying to find a way out of the house. For some reason, when they haven’t been outside for a few months, they start thinking there are secret exits thru the closets or behind the water heater.

As for me, I feel wound up. I have plenty of things I’d like to get done, but I can’t seem to focus. I start one thing and jump onto the next without finishing – that is a Gemini trait – but I usually follow thru.

I did take advantage of the nice weather last Sunday. I went for a walk around the neighbourhood. But, silly me, I forgot my camera. And its too bad! I saw these beautiful cats in front of a house sunning themselves. They looked like they are ready for Spring to be here.

I’m not trying to complain :) I think this is one of the mildest Januarys I can remember. I like watching the snow melt. But it’s a real tease. My body and mind start adjusting to Spring, almost as soon as the sun hits my face on a nice day. Then the next, the wind is whipping snow up in my face and seeming to chill me straight thru to my bones.

By popular demand....

Here is old Zeb....my big brother.

Also, introducing Morty Man!


This is where Morty hangs out when he wants treats. The treats are a bribe. Without them we might not be able to put moisture drops in his eyes everyday. He grew up in the ghetto, (a garbage dumpster behind a factory to be precise) he was outside in the cold and his eyelids didn't develop properly. Poor little Squirt!

My Cats

In order (from top left)Patches, Binky, Trixie, Lucy and Mootsca.

Sadly, Patches, Mootsca and Binky have all gone to Cat Heaven. I miss those furry guys!

Do you have Wild Mood Swings?

If you do you might want to check out this site!

I found this cool site, while checking out the “Off The Wall” section on the Rogers Yahoo homepage.

“Wild Mood Swings” is a great site if you feel like surfing the net and don’t know where to begin. You pick a mood, and “Wild Mood Swings” will send you to a site to match!

Picking the mood “Satirical”, I was sent here. Read carefully now!

Déjà vu is perfect!
And “Horny” isn’t what you might expect!
So, what mood are you in? Where did Wild Mood Swings send you?

Brad Pitt? In My Dreams

I had a dream last night that I was babysitting for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. The dream ended with me trying to help them get away from paparazzi, including a chase scene reminiscent of their movie "Mr & Mrs. Smith".

When I checked it out at www.dreammoods.com this is what it says about dreaming of famous people:

"To see famous people in your dream, signifies an increase to your prosperity and honour."

Let's hope they are right. Of course it could also mean I read too many tabloids.
I'll keep my fingers crossed about the prosperity and honour. By the way, Angelina was cold and bitchy, while Brad was dreamy!!!

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

January 11, 2005

Just recently I broke up with a guy I’d been seeing for almost a year. I thought everything was great. Everything was great. We have a lot of similar interests. Same sense of humour. Both like scary movies. And cats. He treated me way better than any other guy I’ve dated. Even bought me nice gifts (though that isn’t important, but it’s nice).

But there was something troubling me…I knew deep down inside that we didn’t want the same things, but for along time I didn’t want to admit it to myself.

In the time we’d been together we hadn’t had “that” serious talk that all couples should have. The “What do you want out of this relationship?” talk. I finally needed to get it out. I couldn’t stand pretending any more.

We got together one night and finally had “the talk”. The days leading up to this talk were excruciating. I knew it would be the end of “US”. Finally, he told me right out he didn’t want to live with or marry me (or any other woman) or have children. Well, I can’t live with that. I’ve always wanted children. We ended our relationship right there. Few tears were shed (by me of course). It was hard. Everything else was so great. It was one of the hardest things I’ve done. Seems silly though…having a hard time ending something because you’re not getting what you want. Surprisingly, I haven’t been that emotional about it. I’m usually in tears over Hallmark commercials. Maybe this cold I have is numbing my emotions.

In a way I’m glad its over…I am free to find someone who wants what I want. With me. But there’s always that fear that I will be alone. The lonely old lady down the road with lots of cats. Maybe that wouldn’t be so bad!!??!

New Year, New Blogger

January 10, 2006

I have finally entered the world of blogging. After reading other blogs, including those of my family members’ for a year or so, I’ve jumped in. Cautiously at first ( I am actually writing this on MS Word before even signing up). I’m not sure I’ve much to say, but I guess everyone has something to say.
In my mind I have imagined what I’d say on a Blog of my own. Sometimes, in my mind, I just end up ranting about people who’ve done me wrong. But that’s too negative. Not good for the soul. I’ve contemplated writing a Blog for my cat, Trixie (she's the cute cat in the pic). Not very original…and really how far could I go with that? She sleeps on top of the fridge most of the day anyway. I could write about selling stuff on Ebay, but how much could I really write about that all the time? I’d rather just sell the stuff to happy customers and be on with the next thing to sell.
So, I figure I’ll just stick to the good old what-evers-on-my-mind sort of blog.
I’ll leave it at that for now…and contemplate what I might say next time.
