    I am so horrible with MY own secrets....

    I haven't been around much because life has taken an unexpected turn for me... I found out last week that I am pregnant! I have been told multiple times that it wouldn't happen and obviously the MD's and NP were wrong lol. It's been an extremely busy year for me... I bought a house, joined the...

    Small update about me :)

    I just confirmed with my recruiter that I will have my commissioning ceremony June 14. I swear in as an officer in the US Army Nurse Corps Reserves. I, hopefully, will be closing on my house tomorrow. Of course, this is the 4th closing date that I have been given so we'll see. I had to sent...

    I am buying a house!

    I haven't posted in a while, but I have been looking for a house since January and finally found 1 I liked, put an offer on it, and had my offer accepted yesterday! I am so excited! Even the kitties seemed excited . It's a 2 story house, built in 1930, and needs a little cosmetic work but looks...

    Oliver the Pug

    I know this is a cat site, but I need to write something for my little boy. Oliver, aka Ollie Williams, died Monday while at doggy daycare. There was an accident that was not witnessed and he somehow broke 2 ribs and punctured his kidney that led to him hemorrhaging. I will never forgive myself...

    Grieving cat?

    I lost my dog, Ollie, unexpectedly in an accident on Monday. Pepper and Ollie were buddies. They played together, sort of slept together (Pepper slept on Ollie--Pepper was almost bigger than Ollie, lol), and just ran around annoying their sister, Petunia, together. Since Monday, Pepper has...

    Memorial Urns?

    My dog, Ollie, died yesterday. They are cremating him and wanted to know if I wanted to buy a memorial urn or picture frame or something like that. I wanted to know what everyone's take on memorial things to keep ashes in. I am thinking about getting a picture frame so that I can have his...

    Car Dealerships....

    As some of you know, I bought a new car almost 2 weeks ago. I LOVE my new car, but there is a little problem-- I still have the old 1 parked in the parking lot and Chase has STILL not received the payoff. I can't turn in the Subaru until I only have 6 months left on the lease (next month) so it...

    I bought a new car yesterday!!

    I stopped to look at the Kia Sorrento yesterday because I saw an ad on TV and thought that the new model looked pretty good. Keep in mind, I have driven small cars for the last 5 or 6 years. I test drove the Sorrento and loved it! I ended up getting a 2011 sand beige Sorrento. I LOVE the color...

    Military and pets

    I am thinking of joining the Army Nurse Corps and I was wondering if anyone out there has any advice on what to do with the fur kids while I am gone. I am thinking of joining Reserves but I still have that 2 week (at least) a year commitment. I am single so having an SO watch them is not an...

    Happy Gotcha Day, Petunia!

    I adopted my beautiful, fluffy girl 4 years ago today! I cannot believe that it's been that long! I don't know what I would do without my neurotic, wonderful girl!

    Pepper is missing - He's home!

    My strictly indoors cat, Pepper, got outside last night. He has never been allowed outside since I have had him and I have had him since he was 8 weeks old, but last night, he snuck out and now I can't find him. I put some tuna on my porch but I live in a second story apartment and I don't know...

    I need help with a school project!

    Lol, I sound like a kid saying that, but I need help with a presentation I am putting together. I would like to know what song, video, image, etc you think of when you think of 'integrity'. I am having an absolute creative blank! I have a 15 minute presentation to do on the concept of integrity...

    1st day of school

    Lol, I feel like a little kid saying that, but today was the first day of my classes to get my Masters in Nursing Education. My head is killing me-- these people are so much smarter than me! I am still waiting to get the refund from my financial aid and no one seems to know where it is except...

    Decisions, Decisions

    Long story short, i have been trying to switch Pepper and Petunia off of Science Diet and onto something healthier. I have tried Nutro (they hated it), Blue Buffalo Organic (sort of liked it, but didn't eat it that well, and now Purina Cat Chow because I am broke until pay day. They LOVE the cat...

    Family.....(semi rant)

    I found out today without going into to many details, that my mom attempted to get me fired and thrown into jail today. Yeah, my mother is like that. She wonders why i don't want anything to do with her! A few years ago she tried to get my niece taken away from my sister by contacting Child...

    Anyone here have a gym membership?

    I know that there are at least a couple here that do, but I was just wondering, is it worth the money you pay? Are personal trainers worth the extra money, at least for a couple of times? A new gym just opened up not even 5 minutes from me and I am seriously thinking of joining. My blood...

    Applied for graduate school!

    I finally got my app in for graduate school! The deadline is Wednesday and I still need to apply to my program and get my transcripts, but I think I will be ok. Well, I hope they will accept the transcripts a little late since the school I graduated from is notoriously slow with getting them...

    *Sigh*

    I haven't posted about this before because I figured people around here have worse stuff going on, but I got back from the Dr this morning and decided to post about it. I have lost 25 pounds since the end of January because I have been nauseated every time I try to eat so I thought I should get...

    So frustrating!!

    I am starting to look for a house to rent for August. I live in a college town so if I don't start early I may not be able to find a house. I was able to find my apartment last year by pure chance since I decided to quit my job and move out of OH in a 2 week span of time. I absolutely cannot...

    Oliver got neutered

    Just like the title says, Oliver got neutered today. The problem is that he woke up way to well . He has been bouncing all over the place since he got home. He even jumped into the car and he has never done that before! Right now, he finally settled into 1 spot-- on the back of the couch...
