{July 1, 2015} They’re making a run for it!

The cats are heading for the border!

HH came to my hotel room today to drop something off and as she was leaving, the door was open and as we’re talking, all of a sudden, we see two little furry blurs run by!

Jymy and Peanut have escaped!

First they went to the left down the hall, they headed back towards the room, but no, down the hall towards freedom! We couldn’t help but watch and laugh! I kept thinking and I said once “I really should be filming this”, all we did was stare and laugh!

I closed the door a bit and Peanut said, ‘oh no, let me in!’, Jymy, on the other hand went back in the other direction and started crying! When I went to get her, I knew why she was standing there crying…I smelled chicken soup! I scooped her up and in she went!

Adventure had and now it’s time for a nap! The life of a cat…

{June 30, 2015} I miss my daddy

I think I’ve told you I talk to my dad every day, haven’t I?

Well, on Saturday, dad and LaLa went on vacation. I got to talk to him yesterday, but not today and I don’t know when I’ll get to talk to him again, I’m sure one or two more times until they get back, but it’s not the same!

We talk almost every day, some times it’s a few minutes, sometimes a few more, sometimes an hour. Some days he calls, some days I call, but it’s just about every day. Admittedly, there have been times we missed one day here and there and I notice, but it’s never more than a day.

It was the same when I went to Ireland, I didn’t get to talk to him every day and it was weird and here we are again. I like sharing my life with him, telling him about my day and hearing about his.

He’s having a great time and I’m so happy for him. When he gets back, so much to catch up on!

{June 29, 2015} Furry love

I absolutely love having my cats with me.

Even though I saw the cats on the weekends when I was on the road, I really missed having them with me. So, when the opportunity to have them with me full time while I am on this project, I took it!

I don’t know what I’ll do when this project is up and I have to move on to the next project/location, maybe I’ll be able to find a pet friendly hotel and have them with me. I could rent a car and drive to the location, I don’t think they would fly very well, unless I could knock them out, who knows, never tried.

Even though Peanut is having some issues right now, I love having them with me. I come back to the room every night and they greet me, of course they want food or treats, but I’ll take it. What I really love is when I sit on the sofa, they are right there next to me, one on each side and then when I get in bed, here they come, either sitting on me or just to my side.

What could be better than warm, soft, purring, cuddles? Not much!

{June 28, 2015} A new adventure

Life is an adventure, full of new experiences.

My brother-in-law, ACS, is about to have a new adventure and plenty of new experiences. He is going back to school to get his Masters in Education and start a new adventure as a teacher.

He’s been at the same company for over 15 years and he is very good at what he does, but after so many years, he is ready for a change. He’s been thinking about it for a while, but wanted to wait until the time was right, for the family, for the job, for the company, before he made any big decisions.

One of the deciding factors was MGS going to kindergarten next year, both girls in elementary school was a start. I’m not going into more details, that is his story to tell. I just know that this next year will be full of changes, experiences and new adventures and I look forward to hearing all about that!

Good luck ACS, it’s going to be a grand adventure!

{June 27, 2015} Take a…

break…take a moment…take your time…

All these things feature the words “Take a…” did you ever wonder, we are taking these things, and I know it’s just an expression, but what are we taking, where are we taking them?

But the big question is, we are taking these things, but are we giving anything back?

Nothing more philosophical tonight…Take some time to ponder your answer!

{June 26, 2015} Would it be alright if I finished ordering before you interrupt?

Just a little frustrating…

This has happened on more than one occasion and I’ve had enough and want to say something and then I hope I’m done, so here’s my rant.

I order the same drink from the big named coffee place, you fill in the blank. I don’t order very many things, so I tend to stick to the same ones for a long time. Since this place now offers coconut milk, and I am excited about it, I have one drink that I order.

It’s the largest one they have, coconut milk, “hot or cold?” excuse me? “hot or cold” well, if you would let me finish my order you would know what I want, extra hot. Then I ask for the decaf chai, we don’t have that, yes you do have decaf, it’s in the tea bags, “that’s a latte” fine, decaf chai latte, which I have gotten with coffee before, no thank you! no water, no foam, extra hot, by the time they get the ingredients, I have to yell out “no water!” and they have to start over since they poured water into the cup.

Please let me finish ordering before you ask questions, I am sure I will answer all your questions by the time I am through.

Rant over, thank you!

{June 25, 2015} Inside Out

Go see it!

This was a charming, funny, heart warming, heart wrenching, sad, silly, angry, happy, joyful experience all rolled up into a Disney Pixar movie, which, come on, let’s be real, are there any Disney Pixar movies that aren’t wonderful?

The premise is that we get to see inside the head of an 11 year old girl, all her emotions, who are the main characters: Disgust, who won’t let her eat anything icky, Fear, who won’t let her do anything too crazy, Joy, who wants every moment to be happy, Sadness, who, well, can’t feel anything but sadness and lastly, Anger, who everyone really loves who sees the movie.

As I was watching this, I kept thinking “I’m Joy, I’m Joy” I want people to be happy, never a sad or dull moment, how do I fix it so every moment is a good one and good memory and the realization is that you can’t do that, you have to have all of your emotions and some are more prevalent than others in different situations, they all work together or things go wrong.

The movie is so clever in its concept and execution. You get an insight into Riley’s head, she’s the 11 year old and then we see the same emotions inside mom and dad’s heads, but their emotions reflect who they are, like all dad’s emotions have the same thick moustache he does and mom’s has the same hair! The really interesting thing is to see how they all work together and who’s emotion is ‘in charge’ in each head.

Make sure you stay after the end of the movie, part way through the credits, it’s really cute.

Fair description PSM?

{June 24, 2015} A new laptop…please!!!

My laptop is H O T!!!

Last week I went into the Boston office because my laptop wasn’t recognizing the charger I had attached and it was burning up!

I know laptops get warm, but wow! My laptop is on fire! If I get cold, I sit it on my lap!

Forget the fact that it’s older and heavy as a brick! But one of the frustrating things is the CD drive, I accidentally hit or brush the button and the drive opens, frustrating, yes!

But…August, I get my new laptop! I already ordered it through the company and I cannot wait! A touch screen that will be nice and light! I cannot wait!

{June 23, 2015} I have a party nail!

Ok, first, did you even know what a party nail was? I didn’t have a clue what that was until today!

A few days ago CH and I decided we were going to go and get manis this week and we thought it would be fun to invite everyone else and guess what…we had 7 tonight to get pampered! But…CH had work to do so she couldn’t go! Next week, pedis for me, mani for CH, sounds good to me!

So, after our meeting we all carpooled and headed to our appointment. We all got manicures, so that was easy. Two at each table and it was fun picking out colors, what to get, what to get! I went with deep blue, love it!

While we are siting there, HH starts talking about getting a party nail…what? a party nail? Yupper! A party nail is when you paint all but one nail on each hand one color and do something special with one finger, she also informed me it was to be the ring finger, ok, sounds good. Then I asked her to pick out an accent color or something to be my party nail, and pick she did!

So, all my fingers got the dark blue and the ring finger on each hand is accented with gold and I have to say, I like it! I usually do fun stuff on my toes, big toes specifically.Thanks HH for the party nail idea!

What a great time we had! We talked, caught up, got to know each other better, got a little pampered, what more could you want?

Today, instead of a spring in my step, I have a little sparkle in my wave.

{June 22, 2015} How beautiful! What a lucky girl I am!

Are these beautiful or what?!

I got back to my hotel this afternoon and found a wonderful and beautiful surprise!

I had received a text message earlier in the day asking what my room number was, not knowing why, I did ask if he was going to surprise me and he did!

I walked in the room to drop off some stuff and pick up other stuff, looked across the room and there they were, with a lovely note and the smile spread on my face! I have a wonderful beau.

Thank you PSM, I love them!
