FO
I'm mostly Friends Only. Comment any entry to be added, I'm not picky :)
For Top Ramen. I just had a huge craving so I made some, and omg, I want more.
For kittens and all of their crazy antics that keep me laughing.
that it's the last day of school (besides one more final next week).
for friends
for family
for sleep
for the sunshine and the green grass
for cars that allow me to get places
for people who pay me money to do things I enjoy.
I don't know if I mentioned that I ended up bringing 3 more home. Lucky (I called him Banshee in that last entry, but I decided that for simplicity's sake, I would just go with the name they gave him) is still here and I now have Tigger, Piglet, and Moses.
Tigger and Lucky...*sighs*. They're wild little beasts. Especially Lucky- this cat never stops moving. The only way to get him still for half a second is to scruff him, and even then he squirms. Tigger isn't quite that bad, he can be pretty sweet, but he's got a ton of energy, too. I knew after the first night with Lucky that I could not sleep with him again. I got no sleep, it was insane all night long.
So I brought a large cage home and set it up and last night put Tigger and Lucky in, and left Piglet and Moses out to see how they would do with sleeping with me. They slept fine, went right to sleep. Tigger and Lucky cried and cried and cried. I put a blanket over one side of their cage and turned on two fans and then just laid there hoping they'd calm down. They eventually did, but it was pretty awful.
They technically need to be in the cage, they'll spend every weekend until they're adopted in it (at the adoption events), so they need to get used to being in it. After spending the night in it, they're used to it now and crawl in willingly to go to sleep. I have to put them in when I leave, too, because someone has a bad habit of peeing on my bed. I left them out a few minutes ago for maybe 10 minutes while I left, came back, and yelled, "OH GOD. Fuck, not again", and then stripped my bed for the 3rd time today.
They're so adorable though. Tigger and Lucky play all day long, and Moses will sometimes join in, but mostly Moses and Piglet just sit and watch. Lucky is only 2 pounds, and Tigger and Moses are almost 3, but Lucky definitely wins the battles. He's a tough little guy. Piglet is my baby...he's 1.5 pounds and absolutely teeny and so so so so sweet. He's content to just lay and cuddle with me all day long. It's going to be hard to give him up and I'm going to be VERY picky about who he goes to, because he is just SUCH a little love.
Aww, someone just knocked him on his back. I had to rescue him.
I'll have pictures soon. Anyway, enough kitty blabbing. I went to a few places today (Petsmart, Nugget, and Starbucks) about employment. Starbucks didn't seem promising, the manager at Nugget is interested, and the manager at Petsmart said, almost regretfully, that he didn't have any positions available, but he seemed very interested. He said to keep coming in and bugging him regularly to see if any positions have opened up. So...pray that someone has to move to Canada or something. I really would prefer to work there over most of the other places I've been looking at UGH HE'S ON HIS BACK AGAIN DARN BIG BULLIES.
Okay, I'm back. Anyway...Petsmart, I feel, would be a job that made me feel good. I know I could be more helpful than most of the employees in there. Last weekend during the adoption event I had people coming up to me to ask questions about where products were and about different products that they should have been asking the employees at Petsmart. Haha.
Two girls woke in, both sound around 18, maybe 19.
A: "Oh my god, I'm bleeding so heavily, this is ridiculous. I have to change my pad all the time, it never used to be like this."
B: "Hmm"
A: "Man, this is so annoying. I bet it's from going off the birth control pill or whatever"
B: "Maybe, yeah"
A: "God, look at this. See, this is why they shouldn't let girls have the birth control pill, y'know?"
B: Yeah...I dunno, I've never been on it."
A: "Never?"
B: "Nope"
A: "Well...I mean what about when you were with Josh, when you were...(word I couldn't make out)? What did you do?"
B: "Nothing"
A: "Nothing...? Nothing at all?"
B: "Nope"
A: "And you never got pregnant?"
B: "Nope"
A: "You've never had any scares or anything?"
B: "Nope. And it's been like...a year and a half now."
A: "Damn. I can't believe you've never even had any scares or used anything"
B: "Yeah"
A: "I wish I wasn't so damn fertile. (Mumbles something about boyfriend that I can't make out)"
B: "So are you two like exclusive or what?"
A: "Nah"
B: "So you like sleep around still?"
A: "Yeah"
B: "When was the last time you slept around?"
*door clicks behind them*
Heh. I was amused. I don't think they knew I was in there.

Someone talk to me :( I'm not on MSN at the moment but I could figure out a way to get on if needed.

So now I have a big, new-smelling hardcover that's just calling my name, as well as a chocolate bar. This is going to be one good Friday. <3
Firefox is teh sex. That just keeps getting proven to me. My newest love- The LJ Add-on. The thing is freaking sweet. It checks every however minutes (you get to pick the number) for new posts and messages, and then tells you at the bottom of your screen how many new ones there are. You can have it pop-up with new messages and posts, and it also makes your entry and notes editor REALLY FREAKING AWESOME by adding new tools.
It's made LJ-ing so much easier, and I don't miss posts this way, so I'm a better reader and noter, too.
I just scraped the back of my hand on a book, it hurts. :(
Speaking of books, I was posting some on PaperBackSwap earlier and came across some Baby-Sitters Club books. I'm tempted to reread them all again. I loved those books for so many years. I was obsessed, and dreamed about being one of the club members. Lol.
I'm finally feeling somewhat better, after spending my entire spring break in bed. That sucks... oh well, I didn't really have anything planned anyway. I was going to work a couple of days this week but was just too sick.
The boy is sick, too. How we got the exact same thing when we live 70 miles from each other and haven't seen each other in almost two weeks, I have no idea. He got it a few days after me, so he's still in the really gross part of it. We've talked for all of about 30 seconds today.
So many people on my friends list have had babies in the last few days. It's that time of year again =D
Kate kicks ass no matter which season she's in.
I thought I liked Charlie, but now I realize that he was kind of an annoying little punk.
When did Locke go nuts? He used to be somewhat normal. No, screw that, he was never normal, but at least he wasn't sticking grenades in people's mouths before.
Sawyer is hot. End of story. Actually, same goes for Sayid.
I miss Shannon and Boone, they brought quite a bit to the plot and I would have loved to see more of their back story.
Only 3.5 hours until the new episode =D
I <3 Oprah.
=)

This is great. No explanation for why she needed a c-section after an "easy pregnancy", but this is a step in the right direction.
*E* And they're still nursing at the 8 week checkup! That NEVER happens! =D

I absolutely and totally and utterly adore you and I think you're the most beautiful woman in the world and more importantly I genuinely believe and have believed for some time now that we can be best friends. What do YOU think?

One is icons, I'm always needing icons.
The other is just for entertainment. Parenting communities are great, and anything else you feel like recommending. I'm always up for a good debate and snarking is good fun.
They didn't want to spend him home quite yet but as is, the bill came to $605 (dear lord) and we could not afford anymore, we just couldn't.
He seems to be okay. He's still VERY jaundiced. He peed last night, so I'm happy about that. I got him to eat some soup last night by dipping a napkin in it and letting him lick the juice off the napkin, and today i heated up some canned food in cat milk and offered it to him and he actually ate a lot of it! I almost cried I was so happy.
I really don't know how it will turn out but all I can hope for is the best. I'm just giving him his medicine, getting as much food and liquid (especially liquid) into him as I can, and letting him sleep. He seems to need a ton of TLC right now. Last night I put towels on my bed for him to sleep on because he's so full of pee (his belly and paws are just covered in it, poor guy), but he came over to me and nudged at my hand until I lifted up the covers so he could get under them. He laid on my lap under the covers until I got up to turn off the light and when I got up he started crying his head off. I think he missed me =(
At some point in the night, I woke up to him crying, and turned on the light and found him in my closet in my sock drawer. No idea what that temporary insanity was about. He's sleeping right, his belly somewhat full, he's not breathing as heavy as he was, so...I'm just hoping for the best.
He also went outside for a bit today, which is good. I think the sunshine will help him.
