tempting to let day 6 slip away...

Quitting before I've barely begun you might think and you might be right; but I can't be a quitter.
It's a time to be positive, a new year, a fresh start, the promise of adventures to come, recipes to make, books to read, challenges to be successful completing! NO, I'm still not making resolutions, just turning a phrase at this point.

And to further my goal of being positive and not lashing out with my normal sarcastic self I'll end tonight, I'll stop writing and go back to reading a book, "After You" by Jojo Moyes, sequel to "Me Before You" (sadly which will soon be a sad shadow of a book movie"

5th of January

Another day floats by...

a friend whispered she's getting married...yeah! so happy for her and her little family!

fingers crossed for a dear sister, her son is going through a rough patch, hoping Justice is not truly blind...

another dearest sister has a friend in need of prayers, sent of course and continuing...

thoughts drift to my most blissful friend starting again on the west coast, so want her to be happy; she's truly incredible.

making plans for a little trip north of here, can't wait for the adventures that await me!!

day 4 of January 2016

48 days until the Daytona 500...

Trying to eat better, a more balanced diet, drink more water, walk more, save more...

yes, I still make no resolutions!


Blogging everyday or at least trying too...baby steps here too, scattered thoughts until I decide if I have something important to say or rather write!

day 3 of the new year

Woke up to a winters day, overcast and colder than any day since winter official began!

Hate to think that the end of my New Years mini vacation is going to end with a dreary day and I have to work 5 whole days before my next day off...dang! (holiday definitely have me spoiled)

The best thing about today is it's only 7 Sunday's until the Daytona 500!!

and yes I do not make resolutions but I am all for making changes, so I hope to improve my eating habits, to walk more, read more, be better organized...but these are not resolutions!!


Best thing about today is that on this date last year I adopted the most adorable mouthy little tuxedo kitten, 3 months old and 3 pounds...at this moment he's maybe a tad over 13 pounds, curled up in his little tepee house taking a catnap! He's been a wonderful son and he came at the perfect time.

Day 2 of a Brand New Year

Toes freshly painted a bright hot pink, brunch with my mother at Waffle House, started a new book on the way to my goal of reading at least 3 books a month, watched the cats napping, had a fabulous dinner, have my powerball ticket, gave Button a bath, took Chloe for a walk, capture the great escape cat again, put dried bagels on the "bird" tree and have written a silly blog for the 2nd day in a row!

(from top to bottom-Roi, Chaz, Gus, Charley and Harry)

a whole new year....2016

I will admit last year I was horrible when it came to blogging...I will attempt to do better this year

so much going on, my little ball of black and white fur has blossomed from 3 to 13 pounds!

my boy Harry is pure delight!

I'm a year plus into my "new" job, it's so nice to be paid for what I do and to be appreciated.

2016 will be an interesting year...lots of challenges ahead....and I have resolved to not make any resolutions!

2 months of love and counting...

2 months ago this little black and white angel mewed his way into my heart....he loves to eat, hates his crate, his favorite toy is a paper ball (currently he has about 50). He cuddles and chases my feet and terrorizes his poor blind yorkie sister Button. During the week he entertains himself and is very happy to capitvate my attention and on the weekends he lives to wrestle with his cousin Charlie and make his grandparents smile.
