Kittens!

I wake up this morning and go outside to do chores and I notice that one of my pregnant cats seems a whole ‘lot skinnier. While I’m pouring their water the other pregnant kitty comes up to me and she’s a whole ‘lot smaller too. The only conclusion I had was “…omg they both had their kittens!” so I went to investigate and yup! Two litters of kittens mixed together under a blanket on the porch. I still find it strange that they had them in the same place at the same time but hey…who cares ’cause now I’ve got adorable little babies! I didn’t mess with them too much but from what I counted there were 8 little kittens alive and sadly I’ve found 2 that didn’t make it.

Then on my way back to the house I found another little newborn. How it got there I have no idea but the poor kit was so cold! Immediately I carefully cradled the little one in my arm and ran in the house to find my heated blanket. It wasn’t moving hardly at all. Only when I touched it’s tail did I get a response. So I put the adorable little ball on the blanket and let her/him sit until they were nice and toasty warm again. Now, it’s squirming and mewing like crazy! Initially, I thought it was ’cause he/she was hungry but then I also remembered they can’t relieve themselves without assistance. I wasn’t sure what to do and since the little kit was acting normal again I returned them to the little nesting place of the mothers.

Now I’m just anxiously waiting and hoping that the remaining kittens make it through. (:

I’m sorry

I’m sorry.   <—- Kitties! Click it…just do it…

New stuff~

My first ever blog post from my new MacBook Pro. How cool am I? Not cool enough to figure out how to run a Mac…lol. Anyway. My boyfriend and I went shopping this past weekend and I ended up spending more than I’d like to have but that’s not any different than normal.

We bought a new table and chairs set for the kitchen, I got a couple blouses and a my 2nd and 3rd pair of heels ever. I’m way too uncoordinated to walk in heels but I’m going to a wedding coming up and I have to wear some so..yeah. They’re friggen huge heels too, I don’t know what I was thinking. Well anyway, besides that, I bought a cute laptop bag too <3  with all that and the 150$ I spent in groceries I’ll bet I spent close to 700$ this weekend. Bleh.

Almost done reading the Battle Sylph trilogy! I’ve got about 50 pages left until my very first online book review.  That should please the needy. =p

Trying to decide what I should make for supper. I thinking about pigs in a blanket ’cause I’m not really in the mood for cooking lol.

I don’t know what has gotten into people this year but so far 3 small town banks within 50 miles of where I live have been robbed. Honestly, what’s with people? Two of the robber have been caught but the 3rd is still on the loose. Things like this just don’t happen around here…maybe it’s the weather. ~.~

Well, I’m going to mop the floor and do a load of laundry so buh-bye for now.

College

Konbanwa! So I just got off the phone with my student adviser at BVU. I was accepted as a full time student for fall term! [insert cocky grin and peace sign here.] BVU aka Buena Vista University is a private university that is only about a fifteen minute drive from my house so no dorm life for me…but that’s okay. I’m going to be 23 this year and would feel a little odd I think since everyone I know that goes there is only 18 or 19 straight out of high-school. Plus…this will be my like 4th (and final) attempt at higher education. On my application I declared my major as secondary education with an unknown concentration, I think being a teacher would be fun ;3 especially to a bunch of unruly high-school brats.
Ha ha xD! I’m in such a good mood :3
I also checked my order for my new MacBook today. Says it’ll be here tomorrow! I’ve never owned a Mac before so we’ll see how it goes lol. I got the basic 13″ MacBook Pro since Apple thinks they have to charge an arm and a leg for all their products…I mean c’mon, 78$ for a pair of earbuds? Uh no thank you.
My Japanese studies are going smoothly as well. I haven’t been learning many words but rather the structure of reading and writing. I’ve already talked to Nathaniel (My student adviser) about the study abroad program and turns out they have a program in Japan! Although I have to wait until the second term of my second year and keep a GPA of over 3.5 to be eligible. That shouldn’t be too hard…right?
I’m finishing up a trilogy of books about a young girl who becomes a queen to a bunch of battle-sylphs. It’s really good and as I promised I will write a review as soon as I finish the third one.
Until then, I’m off to take a shower and watch yesterday’s new episode of Psych!
~Blessed Be.

To Be A Witch…

Browsing the web I found this poem of sorts from I quite like it so I thought I would share it.

TO BE A WITCH
By Tonia Brown

To be a witch is to love and be loved.
To be a witch is to know everything, and nothing at all.
To be a witch is to move amongst the stars while staying on earth.
To be a witch is to change the world around you, and yourself.
To be a witch is to share and give, while receiving all the while.
To be a witch is to dance and sing, and hold hands with the universe.
To be a witch is to honor the gods, and yourself.
To be a witch is to Be Magick, not just perform it.
To be a witch is to be honorable, or nothing at all.
To be a witch is to accept others who are not.
To be a witch is to know what you feel is right and good.
To be a witch is to harm none.
To be a witch is to know the ways of old.
To be a witch is to see beyond the barriers.
To be a witch is to follow the moon.
To be a witch is to be one with the gods.
To be a witch is to study and to learn.
To be a witch is to be the teacher and the student.
To be a witch is to acknowledge the truth.
To be a witch is to live with the earth, not just on it.
To be a witch is to be truly free!

I was wrong. My apologies Kara.

I have recently been informed there are different ‘genres’ of blogs. And apparently I’ve done mine wrong. Ha, go figure. If you read my first post you know that I started this blog because of a friend of mine. Turns out she had never read an entry until today and greatly disapproved. Thanks Kara. /glare. I guess I was supposed to use my blog to write about a hobby or a particular topic but instead it’s turned into more of just an online journal revisiting my mundane, everyday life every weekend.

So here is a formal apology Kara.

(I’m going to catch hell for this, but that’s half the fun.)

I understand how just reading about someone’s life is pretty boring, but hey, I’m not forcing anyone to sit here and hang onto my every word. So, if you’re bored reading my “online journal” that is your own fault

But I did take into consideration what I was told and eventually, when the time comes, I will evolve my blog into something that’s maybe worth while. Like…how I hopefully will be going back to college, or how I’ll hopefully be studying abroad in Japan. Maybe I’ll even make some informative posts about construction or heavy machinery. Kara told me I should use my blog to post reviews of books and post some of my own short stories so maybe I’ll even do some of that. 
But for now, this blog is a sitting duck. It is my online journal.

Captain Stain and Ostara.

So, I get home from work yesterday and my almost pure white cat comes running up to me and I notice he has something stuck on him. I pick him up to find out he had gotten into something. What it was I still have no idea. I wet a washcloth and rubbed the orange colored spot but nothing came off. It didn’t have a smell and it wasn’t sticky and I still cannot for the life of me figure out what it was he had gotten himself into. Needless to say, he has been deemed ‘Captain Stain’ and many other variants such as ‘Stain Kitty’, ‘Mr. Stain’, and a few others I refuse to recognize since they’re so bizarre they seem irrelevant. I’ll upload a picture as soon as I can get him to sit still long enough for me to take one lol.

As I’ve mentioned, I’m starting my Japanese Grammar Studies soon so I’ve been practicing my hiragana in order to try and get ahead a little bit. I was searching for some online games or something similar to help me out and came across this. It isn’t the most fun thing to do but I can honestly say it’s a lot more helpful than just staring at a page and rewriting what I see. 

This morning when I woke up I noticed it was sleeting out and the first thing I said was ‘Ostara come soon’. Which once I was awake enough to realize what I said I was surprised as hell because I had only ever read that word one other time. I was curious so I looked it up and figured out it was the same as the Spring Equinox. Seems it’s not only my Japanese studies that are going well. (: It’s only been a few months that I’ve considered myself pagan/wiccan so I’m still learning a lot but the accomplishment I felt in what I recalled this morning was refreshing.

Something odd happened the other day. It was snowing so I didn’t have to work and I spent the morning pampering myself. I painted my nails, gave my hair a split-end treatment and took a very nice, long, shower. Afterwards I was feeling amazing so I set up my alter and lit my candles and sat down and just began to talk. I thanked the God and Goddess and chanted an incantation for luck in my crystal ball reading. It was only the second ever spell I’ve used and I must say it worked out nicely. I put my alter away and brought out my crystal and began my meditative state. What I asked for was a glimpse of what tomorrow would be. I’m not sure how much longer it was but the small inclusions in the ball looked as though they turned to flames and smoke and they just burned for awhile and that was the end of it.

I had asked my ball questions before but I never seemed to see an answer. It was a first. I was ecstatic until I started thinking about what I saw. I couldn’t think of anything that would happen so I shrugged it aside and went on with my day. The next morning I wake up and started making breakfast when my boyfriend’s cell rang. It was his mother and I could hear her frantic voice from clear across the room when he answered. His dad was in an accident and as soon as he told me the vision of the smoke and flames I saw sprang back into my head and total shock overtook me. I didn’t hear much of anything else he was saying as he ran out the door so I waited until he got home to tell me what had happened. His dad was perfectly fine if not a little emotionally stirred. He had been pushing snow with the loader tractor when the engine caught on fire. He got out in time before the entire tractor burst into flames and burned to the ground.

I kept my scrying to myself and I kinda feel guilty about it but I couldn’t have known what was going to happen. I’m both excited and kinda scared to try again.

Schooling

The past couple days have been awesome. I’m finally hopefully getting back in school. (This is the part where if you had known me the past few years, you laugh hysterically). I guess I can honestly say I haven’t applied myself when it comes to college. In high-school I was a prodigy child with a 4.0 GPA and in all the ‘smart-kid’ extra curriculars and played softball. Anyway, as soon as I graduated I moved away from home and into an apartment with my boyfriend of 4 years and attended Bellevue University. Well that only lasted about a month and a half. The boyfriend and I started having financial troubles even with him working 2 jobs and me working part-time. So I dropped out of school and I moved back home so I could save up some money and he moved in with his brother.
Because of this we didn’t see each other often and eventually ‘took a break’ from one another for a few months. I got pretty upset in this time and decided I wanted to try school like a ‘normal’ girl my age so I enrolled at WITCC and moved into the dorms. This time I survived a whole semester until Joel and I got back together. I took a job with my grandpa and decided I would ‘transfer’ to an online college so I could be closer to my boyfriend.
Turns out…I’m retarded at retaining information that I teach myself and I failed all my classes but one which caused me to just give up. So I’ve just been working for the past two years. I wouldn’t have considered going back to school until a month or two ago my grandpa and I were on our way to pick up a new skidloader and he started talking about how it would make him really proud if I were to graduate college.
It was like a slap in the face…but in a good way…
So I’ve been doing some thinking and decided to contact BVU, the closest university to where I live. I talked to a counselor and she’s going to get me all the information I need based on all my information. All there is to do now is wait and fill out the application.
I requested info on their teaching programs since I’ve always kinda wanted to be a teacher ever since I was a little girl. So we’ll see (:

I want to make my grandpa proud of me <3

Valentine’s Day

Wooo it’s been a hell of a busy like week and a half. But! Now there is snow…snow and lots of it. I couldn’t be happier. lol. 
 

Well, Lucky didn’t make it. She was in ‘Intensive Care’ at the vet’s office for 4 nights when I got the call she just couldn’t pull through I feel bad about it but I did everything I knew I could. The vet bill vouches for that…heh.
 

One of my new year’s resolutions this year was to learn Japanese. Or rather, start learning. Today I ordered my textbooks and set up weekly check-in’s with a native speaker. I start march 1st :3 Yay me!
 

This morning was the 5th morning in a row that I’ve made a near-perfect omelette. Too bad it wasn’t an Olympic event ’cause I’d totally go for gold. 
 

Currently, I am rewatching Vampire Knight on Hulu (I’m too cheap to buy the series x.x;) and chatting away on Facebook. What a dandy Valentine’s day. /sigh On the plus side I did get the dishes and laundry done today…
 

Let’s see, let’s see what else is there to update here…Not too much I guess. I went and picked up FFXIII-2 the other day when it came out and it’s just dying to be played but I’m trying to refrain from opening it and not getting off the couch for the next few days. xD I pre-ordered it so I get Serah’s pretty bow <33 sooo excited. Can’t wait x3! Sadly I have things to get done QQ
 

I suppose that’s all for now. Time to go and read some blogs I’ve subscribed to :3
 

Ta ta for now!~

Lucky

So today I get a call from Joel (my boyfriend/husband/guy/person<3) who is at work and he asks “How ambitious are you feeling right now ’cause I got something you might want to do.” and as always I had to answer cautiously. I didn’t believe it the first time he said it so he had to repeat it again for me. He said he found a cat that didn’t look like it was doing too well and wanted me to take it to the vet. It didn’t sink in right away what he was asking since he’s not really the animal loving type, but once it registered I was out the door faster than you could say ‘peanut butter’. When I get to where he’s working he hands me this poor calico kitten that looks about 6 months old, a female, frozen, and dehydrated beyond belief. I quickly wrap the poor little darling up in the blanket I brought along and jump in the GMC and blast the heat to try and warm the frozen bones. Just looking at the cat I could tell she was fighter, bobbing her head up to nudge my hand as I tore out of the field drive. I took this as a good sign that maybe we had gotten to her just in time. Twenty miles later the kitten and I arrive at the Animal Health Center and right away we get her information down and into the exam room. Once the vet got a good look at her he confirmed my diagnosis; frozen and dehydrated. I didn’t like what he said next, she would either make a great recovery or she wouldn’t make it at all. That gives her a 50/50 chance. I left her there at the vet over night where they’re going to medicate her, hydrate her and keep her warm in hopes she’ll perk up. I decided to name her Lucky. Lucky that we found her before it was too late and hopefully lucky for being a fighter and being able to pull through for the long run.

When I got home I took a shower. Afterwards I lit all the candles I could find, pulled the shades, and sat there with my eyes closed looking for that same energizing feeling I had gotten once before. It never came. I think I was too stressed with what had happened earlier and the family issues I’ve been having. I haven’t quite felt at peace lately but I’m sure I’ll find it again soon. 

Anyways, it’s 12:00 Am which is way past the time I’m usually in bed so I’m off for now. I am anxiously awaiting the phone call from the vet in the morning to see how Lucky is doing. 

Blessed Be~
