NOVEMBER RAIN

it started raining late last night... still raining this moring. the desert makes this feel like an early christmas, and it kinda is. rain is so rare.

i guess i'd liken it to the feeling of the first snow, back home. so i guess i do understand snow (of course i would!).

it's exciting. you wanna go out there. you've no idea what you will encounter outside. instead of snow drifts i wonder if the streets will be flooded... and it's still the same... will the roads be open?

"it's gonna alright. no matter what they say... it's gonna be a good day. "

LATE NOVEMBER COFFEE

27th of november, 2007. morning coffee the weather has turned almost as if someone hit the switch for winter, and that it is that easy. days are nice... in the 70s, and true to Arizona, at night it all drops down to like 45 degrees. being that i am from northern maine, and i listen to my family and friends back home talk about the snow, and how it's so pretty and fluffy... i think of my 45 degree nights, and 70 something degree days and i'm all cuddled up in bed with my kitties... and Arizona ain't so bad =)


i work lunch today, and then it's time to look over classes for next semester. i'm trying to pick a career/major goal. and then work towards it. doing such a thing has always ALWAYS been difficult for me. how in the world do people pick just ONE thing!

i guess i've grown up enough to know that if you don't pick anything... you don't get anything. should i be a nurse? or something more... thrilling?

what is thrilling to me latley?

what now, would excite me?

i've come far in 2 years. i'm actually proud of myself. if not a bit shocked.

EVEN MORE CAT LOVIN (PSYCHO)




MORE KITTY LOVIN'







AND IN THIS CORNER.... XMAS!

I'm fed up. i have had my last CRAPPY holiday. i've decided to go all out for christmas. i'm flirting hard-core with actually throwing a christmas party, even. the hell with this. as creators, i guess i've learned we have to create the environments that we wish to see.

as generators... if we wish for any light... we apparently need to generate it, ourselves.

and so... bring on christmas, bitches. i'm ready!

LATE 4 MY LIFE =)

just a quick post over my rushed morning coffee. i slept a bit late today so i'm running about in a frantic (well, i'm blogging, so clearly not THAT frantic) pace. let's see: the babies are doing great. they have opened their eyes. apple and sirius are terrific too. i love sabra but i need to pick up a 2nd part time job to support it, i think. i have a power point presentation due on friday that i haven't started on, other than i've thought about it.

jon and i layed a brick patio floor down and re-invented his backyard on sunday within 3-4 hours. we were impressed with outselves. that was a good day. seth had a party @ his house on saturday night. a bunch of us played cards and drank. i learned to play poker, finally.

what else? no that's about it. i'm quite the struggling student these days. that's the positive summary of it all =) everyone be well... i've got to run!

DISCLAIMER

for anyone considering speaking to me before i've had coffee in the morning.... don't!

APPLE'S JAX... AND ANOTHER ONE OF "NORTH"

ok here we go... that's jax next to her mommy's foot. apple & jax = i love it! and then, there's another pic of north (north?) who is adorable and all cuddled up with himself. the process of sheltering them until i find them good homes (and i mean - good!) over the next 6 weeks or so... is going to be humbling. i love their cute little blind selves already. how will i fair in a month? i love them. i think jax is going to be long haired. i dunno tho, apple was pretty fuzzy when she was a little baby, one year ago this month. i said it before, but i'll say it again... my little "britney" really turned out to be a great mom! --- anyway, i'm off to class. all love =)






ENTER JAKOB BLUE AND CO. =)

here's a couple pics of the new babies. their eyes haven't opened yet, and i'll update when they do.
you can right click and save the pics, or just left click once on them to make them a bit bigger.

apple is such a good mommy. to the left we can see just a bit of the calico (who's name so far is mango coz she looks so much like apple) over to the left. jakob has his cute orange self resting on north's (or star's) black tummy. they're beautiful!



a
and.. what do we have here???? oh, why that's the little face of jakob that i fell madly in love with. he stays!





and there's momma with her babies. i need to get a better picture of Mango (we'll see if the name sticks). i love the last pic of north, or star: the little black and white one. under mama's watchfull paw... or is mama strangling him!! hahaha... he sleeps with his little mouth open, how adorable! oh, and look at jakob. and his little ears!
these kittens have made a mess out of me, and i love it! it's been great so far! the kittens are a wild and welcome contrast to ANY and ALL negative energy i might run into. A completly unplanned experience that is really really cool so far. i'll also update the way i feel about it all when they can open their eyes in a week or so, and they're running laps around MY FACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Update: Maybe i'll call the calico Jax.. like Apple Jacks! hahaha

DRIVE THRU CLOSED

since driving again, i seem to have become addicted to making up for lost time in the drive through. god help me, i even went to weinersnitzle last night!

and so, i made a vow with myself this evening. i searched my itunes library for kelly clarkson's "never again" and i sang the whole song to my hot dog. er, well... my chilli cheese hot dog to be exact (ew..) and i promised myself - no more fast food. i will infact go to safeway tomorrow night and go shopping for real food. i vowed that i will exersize my butt off until i've lost the weight i've gained and will never go to a drive thru again. well... for a while.

TIFFANY WATCH


contiuning on with the tiffany watch. he re-entrance after what like 18 years or something... "Higher" is all the way up at #21 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart! That makes it the highest on that chart of her entire career. Even higher than "I Think We're Alone Now" which was a crap song IMO anyway. Rock it, Tiff.

MORNING COFFEE... AND THE WORLD TURNS...

happy monday.

here i am as i've been so many times before. morning coffee and my blog.

the new kittens are doing just fine, and apple is an amazingly good momma. i have to admit i'd been reading up online about how to feed the kittens myself because i just didn't think she was going to do it, but who am i to 2nd guess nature...

i start my new job today. well i've already been training, but today i make money.

thank god.

my bills are stacking up and it's time to attack =)

i kinda feel unemployed tho. between waiting tables and school it's kinda... kinda nice, actually i dunno.

we're learning power point right now, which i don't have on my home computer but i've got about a billion computers on campus at my fingertips so i should be alright.

hmmm.. what else? day of the dead was cool (funny how it was at night...), but i already blogged that.

current music... i'm kinda diggin on the big noise of kylie minogue's new single '2 hearts.' it's kinda cool.

i'm a bit burnt out on drinking latley... might wanna go do coffee. anyone? LOL

DIA DE LAS MUERTOS

Day of the Dead procession in Tucson, tonight. The first year i didn't actually have to work through it. It was very cool. An extreme ammount of people - felt like the whole city + maybe half of Phoenix. Everyone marched from University and 4th Ave down congress and ended over by the Stone underpass. I met up with everyone a little late, but was there for the festivities at the end watching this giant urn full of people's prayers of things to let go of ignite into flames all a la New Years Eve apple above our heads.

It was very cool. Tucson, I was impressed.

ENTER #3

aprox 1am on the 4th... kitty #3 a calico just like apple popped out. the baby total is @ #3 now!

MAMA APPLE


Saturday, November 3, 2007: so... tonight, my kitty. my baby girl, apple, gave birth. first up was a little copper-orange kitty... and now... she's just had a second. he's black and white like sirius... interesting =)


sirius is fixed so it's clearly not his but... anyway - here is the first pic. moments after the 2nd one came out. she's cleaning him up in this pic.=))
by chance jon came over and we were getting ready to go out. she needed a little help with the 2nd and i was very happy jon was here. he's off buying beer and a movie so we can hang out in case there's going to be more. wow. just, wow!

CHANGES...

quit my job as store manager for quiznos the other day. enough abuse and enough being underpaid. i'll drop my keys off today. and i'll be damned happy about doing it, too =)

i got a super-sexy waiting job at a jewish resturant called sabra. everything about the place is chill, and the money that my trainer has been making looks great!

went out for drinks with hannah and jon last night. we all played pool. it was fun. hannah got a bit over-buzzed. it was funny.

so now, i'm having coffee and getting ready for class. happy friday everyone!
