Biting Kitten Ears

When I see something cute I grit my teeth. 

I have fostered kittens for the Animal Shelter for 4 years.  They come to me small, just born & weighing only a few ounces.  In 4 years I have fostered ALOT of kittens.  And still to this day the cuteness makes me grit my teeth.  The absolute unobliterated adorableness of kittens makes me want to bite their ears.  I don’t of course, but boy do I get close!

I don’t know why I do this, other people don’t do it.  I can only attribute it to a very primal oral fetish.  I don’t need this explained medically or psychologically,  I am merely making an observation that I want to bite kittens ears. =) 

Happy nibbling.

The GREAT Treadmill Race

Yes, it’s true I’ve again won the imaginary treadmill race today!

 Oh, no one knows there is a race but me.  I have a grading system on incline and speed.  Frankly speed doesn’t get as much credit as incline in my book, so just because you’re running doesn’t mean you’re gonna win. 

Shut up it’s MY imaginary race, I can run it how I want to.  It just so happens I do incline, so naturally the race is stacked in my favor, imagine that.  J.J. and I are going to have an imaginary ceremony to present my medal.  I imagine you are all invited =)

Birthday Cake Pops…..the new crack

Good Grief!  Really Starbucks?  Because you don’t already have us all addicted to coffee, espresso & chai tea now you have to use your rocket scientists to formulate the prefect little pink ball of heaven too?  Where does it end, I can’t take ONE more thing I’m addicted to.  Just sprinkle the damn things with crack and call it good.  Meet me in the alley and smuggle me some birthday cake pops for 2.50/each.  I think they even give you the first one for free (that’s how they getcha) . hee hee ;-)

J.J. rocks wrestling!

At my nephew J.J.’s wrestling match in Ellensburg….. can’t believe he is so powerful, first match I’ve seen him in, but won’t be the last!  I guess I still look at him like he’s 5 years old.  Dang you’re good J.J. – keep it going!

Painting is such sweet sorrow….

I went painting with the girls at Palettes & Pairings in Kirkland.  No I don’t paint.  No I don’t draw (well, stick people).  However, fine wine was apart of the deal so “I’m in!”  Thus the name….palettes and pairings – for those who have popped the cork and need the remedial blog notes.

Never fear…they start slow and take it step by step.  This class is for us beginners and there wasn’t anything difficult.   They provide everything, canvas, paint, brushes, aprons, encouragement and yes, WINE.  It was fun and simple and it only took 2 hours.  It was easy to do on a work night and not feel sleepy the next day.  We all had a fun time!  We laughed at how much talent we DIDN’T have but we were still so very proud of our picture.  ;)

Thank you Evangeline for taking us to a great great place!

Move over Spidey

Perfect!  My sister’s Christmas present to me was a trip to IFly in Seattle.  What a blast!  It was so much fun! 

First – listen to the instructor, well I should say “watch” the instructor.  He will give you hand signals to stablize your body. Straighten legs, bend arms, chin up.  And of course the all important “relax”.  Which is a wee bit hard to do when you’re being blown in the air by a jet engine. 

The best part in my opinion is when the instructor (Emmett) took flight in the tube and gave us a show that Spiderman would have a hard time beating.  He was dynamic!  It was the BEST entertainment EVER!!!  If I can endorse, recommend or persuade you to take up a hobby… this would definitely be in top 3.

Happy falling.  I mean FLYING… flying, I really meant flying.

Cleanse

I’m feeling a spiritual cleanse coming on.  Perhaps it’s the abundance of the holiday season, but I need a bit of fasting, a lot of praying and many worsphip songs playing way too loud in my condo =)   God has answers and I need to quiet my mind so I can hear him. 

Lord Jesus thank you for my blessings, my family that loves and supports every neurotic part of me.  My job that keeps me warm and cozy at night and allows me to help and volunteer with the animal shelter.  My friends that love me, no matter the time and distance we’ve experienced and most of all God, thank you for your love & acceptance and please work in me….. in your time…..in your way………amen.
