I love my kitty!


I have become a cat person. For some of my friends that statement alone will be hilarious considering I have a dog at home in Southern California that I adore and have always had dogs for pets. I've always been partial to dogs for that reason, and also because I thought I was allergic to cats. BUT, I guess there's always a turning point, eh? Now I have a cat, thanks to my boyfriend Alex, and I adore her too! How could I not?!? Do you see her little face in this picture? She has become my little baby, and I'm not allergic to her - go figure! She has quite a personality and is definitely a princess-type. Ha ha ha ha! Having her has made me understand where statements such as "curiosity killed the cat" and "satisfaction brought it back" have come about! [This picture was taken of her after she crawled into the empty Christmas tree box; she climbs into every nook and cranny, bag and box!] Alex teases me by saying she's just like me and my own curiosity. Ok....maybe. Hee hee. She's quite a ball of mischief at times, but we have so much fun! Now I can't imagine life without my little kitty! Of course I still love dogs, but now that I know I'm not allergic to all cats, I've added a new dimension to my life! ^_^~*

A Successful Summer

I know that's a funny title for a blog entry, but seriously, I had a successful summer. Now what constitutes a successful summer? I think a successful summer is enjoying the weather, having fun, and accomplishing what goals one needs to in the 3 months before school starts (obviously the school starts bit doesn't apply to those who are not in school). But I'm sure we all have goals we want to accomplish over the summer months. What were my goals aside from enjoying the summer, which might for all intents and purposes might be my last "relaxing" summer for a long time? Studying for comprehensive examinations. I didn't study as hard as I had intended, but I did study. And anxiety rose as the day of the exam drew near. Of course the actual date of the examination was at the very end of my summer so I didn't have much time to just relax. But in any event, I took my exam on August 20th and found out my results a week later. While my results were highly satisfac

A Happy Ending for the Dog Drama

Yes, I can say that it is a happy ending. What a difference a day can make! Yesterday I was incredibly sad at the prospect of not seeing my cute dog ever again. My blog posting yesterday might have provided enough evidence of my sadness. But today I am elated because we have found him and he is at home with us again! Where was he found? Someone finally called us to say they had our dog. He was in someone's yard in our neighborhood - maybe about 8 or 9 blocks away. I wasn't there to receive the call but someone else in my family was. When they went to pick up Snoopy and inquire as to where he was when they found him, they were simply told that he was sitting outside their fence and so they brought him inside. My sister-in-law told me she was inclined to think that they wanted to keep him but may have either listened to their conscience or seen the flyer that I had posted at the grocery store less than a block away from the house where Snoopy was found. Either way, I am just than

Reunion in Jo'burg

Image
On my return from the conference in Durban, I was fortunate enough to spend a few days with my childhood best friend. It was amazing to be able to meet her again some twenty years later. We had spent time catching up and also attended her daughters' cross-country event. We also had dinner at this African-themed restaurant (where else would we eat when in South Africa?) called Moyo's. This picture is of us after getting our face painted. :) For dinner I had springbok, and also managed to taste a bit of ostrich. Very interesting, and pretty good - both of them, I'd say. :) The next night I actually met up with some other people that I had not seen in twenty-one years. It was just amazing to see us all grown up (the kids), and the adults were somewhat the same, except for a bit of age of course. So I managed to have this big old reunion in Johannesburg. Oh, and we unknowingly drove by Nelson Mandela's house in Jo'burg, only having realized it as we drove past wondering
