I slept late Friday. It is our free day from work. We watched several Lost episodes. It had been a few weeks since we had seen it. This evening we cleaned the house well.
Today I held a puppy. My Father’s dog had puppies a few weeks ago and they just opened their eyes. Armando brought it for me to see. Isn’t he a cutie?
I hope you have a relaxing weekend!

I took these pictures.
The sun created shining rays of light while it was hidden beneath the cloud's cover.
This tree simply has a beautiful shape.
Although these are not the best quality pictures, here are a few pictures of the adopted kittens playing tonight. I will try to take better pictures in the daytime of the kittens this weekend.
The kittens are adorable. They all have their own little personalities. They like to be held and cuddled and cry when you put them down because they want to be held more.
There are three boys and one girl with the following names:
Cho ( we call him Cho Cho)
Star
Wide Eyes
Tiny Tina
They are eating kitten food now and eat very well. Actually, Star eats too well. We are thinking we might need to limit his eating because he appears to be too overweight and we worry about him having problems from eating too much. I believe they over-indulge with food because of their past history and abandonment.

As if I did not have enough cats already, I have taken in some abandoned kittens. The poor things were in bad shape and so hungry and they needed a lot of love and care as well as several baths!
They like the milk a lot and are doing great! They are gaining weight. So, in case you wonder why I haven’t been posting and where I have been, I’ve been bottle feeding kittens mostly, it seems like they’re hungry every two hours or so!
Let’s hope they continue to do well and that I can find homes for them all (or I can keep one… maybe) but the rest must go when they are old enough.
This is the second set of kittens I have bottle fed. The first were Pollyanna and her brother Cotton Jim who lost their Mom as babies. (A car ran over their Mom and I adopted them.) Pollyanna is doing great and has been Mom several times herself. Cotton Jim is in cat heaven. I miss him.
I will try to post a video or some pictures of the kittens later.
| What American accent do you have? Your Result: The West Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta. | |

| What American accent do you have? Quiz Created on GoToQuiz | |
I don't have a specific accent really. Probably because I moved every few years and I never stayed in one area long enough to develop an accent. I do use Southern slang sometimes but mostly just for fun and because I do live in Alabama! :)
Let me know your results if you take this quiz.
Armando and I have made a new blog
"Aquarium Journal" (-click)
It is a blog/journal to share our new hobby. It's been a lot of fun learning about fish and it is very relaxing and peaceful to look at the two aquariums.
Saturday we bought the above angel fish (and some other fish too). They are like little pearls. They are very cute and curious about everything. When taking pictures they will often come right up to you and look straight forward at the camera lens.
Tonight for supper, I tried a recipe for Ortega Chicken Fajitas.
I haven't made Chicken Fajitas in several years. I made Spanish rice to go with it.
The recipe was easy, yummy and very filling.

You can see a video of the aquarium at De Mysterii's blog by clicking here and looking for the blog entry called Acuario.
I was just thinking of those killed and injured in the tornadoes that swept across Alabama and several other states today. I wish peace and comfort for those who lost loved ones and strength and endurance for those who are injured or lost their homes.
Have a safe journey to Chile! Wherever the heck you want to!
When life is not taking you in the direction that you need to go and when things are not healthy, it is time to change directions. This past few weeks have been stormy for me with many ups and downs and in betweens.
I quit a job for the first time in my life. I am always hard on myself and I felt bad because I quit. I think sometimes I am my own worst enemy when it comes to my high expectations. I think all the close people around me were suffering because I was suffering and they knew it and I would not allow myself to admit deep down to the fact that things were not getting any better at the workplace, just more pressurized, negative and stressful. I was trying to stick with it for a year, just long enough to change departments but it just became too much. I couldn't handle it any longer and had gone to my limit.
My attitude changed the other night when I had a talk with my Father. He mentioned, if you knew you were going to die at midnight... Would you still be feeling this way? Of course I said No! He was right. I needed to stop focusing on the past and enjoy my right now!!!
I am relieved now and am just taking a little breather before looking for a better opportunity.
P.S. I designed a new banner for the blog with Armando's help. Do you like it? It has a feather on it that I found at Lake Guntersville.
