    Busy, busy end of school

    June 1, 2012 - By 

    Ever have one of those weeks that you have all planned out way a head of time…then when the week begins you completely forgot that you had a zillion things to do?? That’s been my week. I think the 3 day Memorial Day holiday weekend was what started me off on the wrong foot. Monday turned into Tuesday in the blink of an eye. 
     Tuesday I was a bit under the weather…allergies and such.
    Wednesday was filled by inventory at the school library.
    Yesterday I got to go to the Arboretum as a chaperon for Little J’s class. I really love it there. We should really get a membership…but I digress.
    The girls enjoyed the Japanese garden…
    especially the koi.
    I enjoyed a moment of quiet serenity myself. 
    But we can’t forget about the flowers…
    So many beauties. 
    It was hard to choose which to share.
    This was my favorite floral photo of the day.
    Soft and dreamy…and pink!
    Today will be my “catch-up” day. 
    The team of fairies I wished for at the fountain never showed. A girl’s got to dream, right?!?!
    How are you preparing for summer?

    Meet Gracie…

    May 21, 2012 - By 

    We adopted her yesterday.
    All we planned to do on Saturday was pick up some more fish for the tank and we ended up applying to adopt a cat.
    Crazy how things work sometimes.
    She’s almost 2 yrs old. She had the name Grace but we thought Gracie sounded a bit cuter.

    Both myself and J have cat allergies but only to certain cats.
    We had J pet the cat then rub his hands on his face. In the past, if he’s allergic, he’d start sneezing and getting itchy eyes almost immediately. 
    No reaction.
    I also didn’t have any reaction.
    It was meant to be.
    She has very pretty markings.

    This is what she’s been doing most of today…
    basking in the sun, watching the birds and bugs fly around.
    Pretty simple life…
    The really strange thing was, in the adjoining cages there were cats named Halle and Tika….not very common names!! I have a cousin named Tika. It would have been just to strange to take that pair home…plus if they were anything like Tika and I, they’d have gotten into a lot of mischief. 🙂

    It’s my birthday….

    another big one!
    Time certainly does speed up the more years that go by.
    I haven’t had some weird mid-life crisis such as wanting to take up sky-diving or get a motorcycle.
    No tattoos, although I did dye my hair pink for breast cancer awareness last October.
    Later we are going to have
    my favorite meal…
    SUSHI !!
