Hiatus?

You'll have to excuse this hopefully short lack of posts. I have been busy. My new little guy, whom I've affectionatly named Bean (as in jumping bean) is finally turning the corner with his infections. But it has been like caring for an infant, even to the point of wiping his bum and also needing to constantly eat (because of his worms). The worms give him the runs and he's so tiny it gets stuck in his fur. Then he cries. Oi vey. It's been an ordeal. Now that his infections are clearing, I can get his worms taken care of. I've been warned this starts getting gross at that point. As if it wasn't already!

Anyway, Bean has become the most loving and crazy little guy I've ever seen. But he also does not let me sleep and has figured out how to get out of his cage at night. He enjoys dive bombing my face and also laying across my head. He does not let me blog because he runs across the key board constantly and needs 100% of my attention. I can't blame him, I am at work 10 hrs a day, that includes my commute. But then I get home, do my chores, try to cook, take care of my other little kitty, and take 10 minutes to myself to shower.

My sub boxes are stacking up and I haven't really looked at them. I got the stinky mascara from Ipsy, the lovely Birch Box Mermaid box that I LOVE, my awesome Popsugar that has remained untouched, a pile of Wantable Intimates (10 pairs of socks in this one!), and tons of Honest Co products that I needed.

Once Bean's better I'm confident I can get my life back. For now, I will remain a sleepy mess. 


He enjoys watching TV.. hmm.



My newest addition..

You'll have to excuse the pause in my life. I have received some of my June subs (PopSugar + Summer LE, BirchBox, BB5, and Ipsy) but I am too busy to even dive into those.

You see I adopted this little scamp. I named him Bean and he is a Maine Coon cat, or at least that is what I have been told about him.

When I went to pick him up he was so sick. Everyone told me I should have not done it, I know that I don't have the money for all those medical bills. But I asked this girl if she had any intent on bringing him to the vet and she said no. My conscience would never forgive me if I left this poor creature to die like that.

I made a vet appt immediatly but ended up bring him to the ER vet at about 5 AM yesterday. After picking him up Tuesday evening I couldn't sleep, I kept hearing him coughing and struggling to get a deep breath. I was in tears cause he couldn't even open his infected eyes and he was so skinny I could feel every bone in his little body.

This little guy has a respitory infection along with both his eyes infected. Also he has worms which would explain the skinniness. We can't treat him for worms until the infections are cleared so for now I am just letting him eat to his hearts content.. I can't imagine what he is going through.

But it has been 24 hours since taking him to the vet and his condition has greatly improved. He went from a lethargic kitten with no voice to a little ball of energy, meowing away and getting louder with each roar.

But you'll have to excuse a lack of sub posts possibly.. it depends on how he behaves. Right now I have to watch him a lot and he's almost like a little baby in his needs.

Thursday Thoughts

                          Today I'm linking up with Jennifer over at Ramblings of a Suburban Mom.

* I'm not sure how it is in other parts of the country.. but the weather here is miserable. My yard looks like a swimming pool. At 2 AM I got a wake up alert about flash flood warnings. It's also very cold.

* I work for a fertilizer company, did you know that? Well, it's our slow season so I am able to blog from work. How cool is that?

* I'll be turning the big 3-0 on the 23rd. Who wants to start a betting pool on whether I seriously wig out? When I turned 25 I had a complete mental break down.

* I know you all saw the news video of the dog attacking a child in California. And all of a sudden this cat comes out of nowhere like a superhero and chases that dog down. One of the million reasons cats rock.


So impressed.

* I really need to find something awesome to do this weekend. The last fun thing Tony and I did together was go to the pumpkin farm in October. We are way past due.

* And then PopSugar released another limited addition box. And I bought one. Can I consider that a Birthday gift to myself? Yup.

* I canceled my Julep account this morning. It was a long time coming. I love the idea of Julep. I love the concept, the colors, and the deals. But I don't love the polish. So what the heck was I thinking for all these months? I stare longingly at my Julep collection every time I go to paint my nails. But I never choose it because the fact is.. their formula sucks. It's streaky, inconsistant, and takes hours to dry. I have at least 40 of their polishes and gosh.. that's a lot of money wasted. Now if Zoya had a sub box.. I'd be on that in 5 sec flat.

* I still have received no reply from Paxton Cove about my unsent order.

* I really should have saved all of my empties from this month so far. I think you'd be impressed.

* I am watching impatiently as my little tomato plants and basil grow. Why? Because I need this Quinoa w/ Tomato, Basil, & Mozzarella Salad right now.
