Too many tabbiesFri, May 2, 2008 @ 2:51PM We have three cats. I didn’t intend for this to happen. First, we have Comet. We got her almost six years ago, when a co-worker moved away and didn’t have room in her new house. Comet is like an elderly aunt - set in her ways, but sometimes surprisely frisky. Mostly, she likes to be petted when SHE wants, and be left alone by other cats. Then we have Buster. Or, as we call him, Boo-Boo. Yes, I talk baby-talk to him. We got Boo-Boo one year ago when a friend told me she had kittens living in her garage that she hoped she could find homes for. Boo-Boo was not what Comet wanted - a boy kitten, frisky and active. She mostly tolerated him, and he grew up to be a general annoyance to her. Now we have Rocky. I found him at Wal-Mart last week. I went for sodas and brought back a cat. He’s a loving kitty, and the other cats are used to him, but all our cats are tabbies and it’s confusing.

30 and Then SomeMon, April 7, 2008 @ 2:48PM There is not a lot of things that get to me, but turning 30 a week ago kind of messed with me. The day of my birthday there was a period of about two hours when I didn't want it to be my birthday. I know there are a few of you laughing right now but I am sure you might of had some feelings like that too. It was kind of funny when I told my mom that I didn't want to turn 30 she bluntly said "I didn't want to turn 50!" I am glad she said that cause it kind of woke me up to not feel sorry for myself. It's just a number and I have to use them up the best I can. Besides your only as old as you feel right? It's been awhile since my last blog and I have gotten a few suggestions on what to write about from some different people. It's not that I need ideas, but some people are curious and want to make sure I talk in depth about different aspects of my training and life.
