Cat Thursday

This week I'm going to celebrate my own furbabies

Hump Day Hunks

Everyone have some pretty

Addiction

It ain't just about drugs and alcohol.

I have to admit, I have a problem. It involves a red can.

Coke is my drug of choice...Coca-Cola, that is.

I've been doing my best to not drink it, and I've gone 25 days so far.

Cold turkey isn't easy, and when there's Coke in the house....ARGH!

I love Pop! I always have. These 25 days have all but killed me. I've been drinking lots of juice, water, tea, and milk, but it really doesn't stop me from being thirsty. Coke was the only thing that did.

~sigh~

Oh and hot coffee makes my allergies worse...I drink it when the pollen counts are high, and I swear the hairball in the back of my throat gets bigger!

Grrr.

Oh and to add insult to injury, do you think I'd lose any weight cutting out the soda?

Hell freaking no!

Hump Day Hunks: The Peter Capaldi Edition

I want to prove to the 12th doctor that he's sexy too! Why can't 56 be sexy?

I Am No Longer Fun

I think in the last  4 years, I've lost my fun.

I don't know if it is the caregiving that did it, or just the people around me. (The one's that aren't sick or dying)

I just can't get into the things that I once loved. Other than books. Books are my best friends at this point and the only thing keeping me sane.

I don't know what I'd do if I actually got to get out and about.

How sad is that?

Actually, I think if I did get out, I'd want to be in a hotel so I could sleep all day, uninterrupted.

That, my friends, would be absolute bliss at this point. The only thing that might trump that, would be, a few unsupervised hours in a book store, with a very large gift card!

Cat Thursday

Just some sillies for today...

Hump Day Hunks...erm Hunk

For some reason I've been on a Tom Hiddleston kick.

I can't imagine why....

Hmmm....

RIP Robin

I don't think I've been so saddened by a celebrity death since Davy Jones died.

I mean, this is Robin Williams. His acting and comedy have been in my life since I was a little girl. I even remember watching the cartoon version of Mork and Mindy.

And the movies....oh the movies..I've seen so many...Good Morning Vietnam, Mrs. Doubtfire, Aladdin, Night At The Museum and my personal favorite What Dreams May Come.

It is heartbreaking to know that such a funny man, such a well loved, and respected man, who brought so much joy into so many lives, obviously had so little joy in his own.

He had a gorgeous home, a beautiful wife and children.

It is another stark reminder of how horrible mental illness is and it is made worse by addiction.

I hope that wherever his spirit is, he has found peace and happiness now.

Guilt Presents

Guilt presents are an interesting thing.

My sister bought me the Nightmare Before Christmas commemorative necklace for my birthday and today I got a wonderful Doctor Who print from Steel City Con.

Why?

Because she's going to Ocean City next week, and I'm stuck at home with her oldest son, taking care of our parents.

It doesn't make me feel better about not being able to leave the Mon Valley at all. I've only gone as far as a mall in the last 4 years, but if it makes her feel better to give me stuff, well, I'm not going to complain.

Truthfully, I'd feel  totally uncomfortable on a beach right now. I want to be a little less fat the next time I get anywhere near the water. I don't want people trying to toss me back in the water because they think I'm a beached whale.

I would however like a day to decompress, but that's not happening any time soon.

So until I can catch a break, I'll just be happy with my guilt presents.

Happy World Cat Day!

My cat's are celebrating by being super lazy! Let me share some pictures of some of the cats in my life.

Cat Thursday

In honor of Sister Please, who passed away sometime this last week..I give you Siamese LolCats. I also curse my neighbors for not taking care of their pets!

Hump Day Hunks

It has been a shitty day.

I had my yearly girly doctor appointment...one of the outside cats is dead...and my ifyouplease has a new home.

Today sucked..

I need to look at something pretty to make me forget.

RESPECT

I am so sick of the way people discuss the current president.

First of all, he should be addressed as President Obama.

He was elected to that position and that's the title that remains his even after he's out of office. He isn't Mr. Obama. He isn't Obama.

He is PRESIDENT OBAMA!

Just as our second Bush president wasn't W, though everyone chose to address him as such.

It shows a lack of respect.

You may not like the political leanings of these men, but they do deserve the respect that any world leader should get.

Some of the Brits don't like the Queen, but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't dare call her anything other than Her Majesty. (regardless of whether you think she has majesty).

Heck, I think it is horrific that the media continues to call the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton.

She's married.

That isn't her name anymore.

And if I were married to Wills or Harry, I wouldn't want my maiden name either. Personally, if I were married to Harry, I would be busy doing other things, rather than typing a blog post.

Now what have we learned today, children?
