Kiss Me When I'm Down
It's been 6 months since you swung by with an old friend and carried out our future box by box.
Stack of mail, a tube of toothpaste and an empty Zeppelin three cd case.
Still a few things here that you forgot ...
They're just a bad excuse. Just something I can use to call you.
Come on over
Drink my wine
Waste my candles
Waste my time
Tell me lies I won't believe
Just don't wake me when you leave
Come on over
Kick me to the ground
Kiss me when I'm down
Just an hour or two
Is better than none of you
I miss you ♥

Changes
Have you ever felt as though you were in a place in life where you need to make changes about the people you involve in your life?
I hate the feeling of losing a friend... You know you ARE still friends, but you feel them slipping away?
I have two people in mind...
Unfortunately, one believes that we can still have a friendship even though she made a choice that badly impacted our friendship. I'm not quite sure how to handle this one. I don't feel the need to get into much detail, but let me tell you this.... trying to stay friends with people you knew and hung out with as a couple is tough. It's like people want to figure who which one of us can they still be friends with. Why in the hell do people have to CHOOSE to be only friends with me.... or ONLY friends with him? It's simple if you see him don't talk about him to me or vice versa. I shouldn't let this bother me, but many times I feel as though I get punished because of bad choices that HE made. I did NOTHING and I repeat NOTHING wrong... HE DID! I've lost enough and the fact I'm losing friendship too makes me sick to me stomach.
The second person I feel has used me. Do you ever have those people who are there for you when you need them a FIRST... when the drama is happening and they can get all in the mix?!? When things settle down and the dust settles they disappear? Or they just REPLACE you for someone else. This just stinks. I'm still in the midst of dealing with something very tragic and I DO still need people to lean on. This person could relate in some ways as to what I was going though.... or I should say they thought they could relate, but in reality they have NO idea of the pain, but whatever. Still to have someone who is really there for you and then to have that person just remove them self from you life because they they don't want to be anymore. Or maybe it is just that the person wants to side with him because.... well I can think of a few reasons, but still I feel as though I am being punished and again.... I did nothing.... NOTHING
to deserve this.
☼ Thank you MB for always being my faithful friend though it all! ☼
♥ I adore you. ♥

ADOPTED!
It's always nice to have my foster babies find home with people I know. I LOVE being able to "check-in" on them and see how they do after they find their new homes. I have now had a total of 14 foster animals.... 1 dog and 13 kittens. Out of my 13 kittens FIVE have found homes with people I know!
 |
| Stella now loves with a co-worker of mine. She lives with 6 other cats including her sister Sasha! |
 |
| Sasha live with her sister Stella! Sasha was the first to be adopted and then her sister joined her about a month later. |
 |
| Dantae lives in Olympia, Washington with his new family. His family is close friends with my family who live in Tacoma. Dantae is an inside cat who has doggy friends to play with all day long. |
 |
| Moo Moo is going to a GREAT home. He will have a mommy, daddy and a 4 year old sister who will take great care of him. Out of all my 13 kittens, Moo Moo definitely stands out and is one of my favorites. |
 | ||||
| And finally my sweet, Elmer! Elmer has a mommy, daddy and a 1 year old brother! He also lives with 2 BIG doggies and a bird. He is going to have a GREAT life. |
I've shed a tear or a hundred for all 5 of these babies not to mention all the others who I had to return to the shelter to find forever homes with somebody I don't know. They all do and will continue to hold a special place in my heart now and forever!
Bookworm
One of my unstated New Year’s “Goals” was to read more this year. I love and I mean LOVE to buy books. Mostly children’s books for work, of course, really any book I just love to buy them. Now reading them is an entirely different story. I buy and buy and buy, but I never get around to reading them, so they just sit there. I have a pile of books on my nightstand right now just staring me in the face every morning when I wake up and every night when I go to bed.
I actually have been doing much better about reading…. so much better, in fact, that I’m often staying up wayyyyy too late at night reading when I should be sleeping and then I regret this the next day! I pretty much only read non-fiction books. I LOVE reading autobiographies, they are pretty much my favorite. I thought as a way to keep myself more accountable I would blog about the books that I am currently reading. I want to read a few books a month. I think that is a good starting point for me.
Currently I am reading “I Do, Now What?: Secrets, Stories, and Advice from a Madly-in-Love Couple” Bill and Giuliana Rancic are one of my most favorite celebrity couples! Before this book I read a book by Giuliana Rancic (written under her maiden name of Giuliana DePandi) this was one of the best books I have read in a long time! It was a quick read and very lighthearted. "I Do, Now What" is a great book with some great advice concerning marriage. In particular, Bill and Guiliana have openly struggled with infertility and those chapters were near and dear to my heart. If you are looking for a fun book with some really great marriage and relationship advice this is most defiantly it!
My next read is “Kardashian Konfidential”... I bet you can’t WAIT for a review on that one!!
Hahahahaha.

Simon & Ryder
I’ve got to give a shout out to these two boys….
Simon and Ryder have opened up their home and their hearts with open paws to the many foster kittens that have come to live with us over the past few months. Before I began fostering my boys had never even seen a kitten. Needless to say, I was a little unsure how this fostering thing was going to workout. I knew Simon would pretty much just ignore the cats, but I was unsure how Ryder would react. I never expected Ryder to react as he has.
Let me explain… I half expected that Ryder might try to eat a kitten for dinner. I was very cautious the first few days while introducing Ryder to our new guests. The first day he followed the kittens around with BIG eyes and the hair on his back completely raised. This was a little unsettling to me because the last thing I wanted to report to the Humane Society was that my 69 pound puppy ate a kitten for lunch!
I remember distinctly Ryder’s first contact with a kitten. He was sound asleep on the ottoman and little Sasha (Sasha and Stella were my very first fosters) jumped up to nuzzle next to him. He woke up startled and stared at me with those big eyes. As Sasha began to kneed and nurse on his belly he started to LICK HER! He laid there and groomed her like the best of mommy’s would. From that moment on Ryder and his “babies” have been inseparable. He is just SO wonderful to them…. He grooms them, sleeps with them, mothers them and it just melts my heart each and everyday. He likes to play with them too! They make up the cutest little games. Only a few times have I thought he’s gotten a little rough. I don’t think he realizes that a 69 pound boy and a 2 pound kitten may be an unfair match! He likes to put the kitten’s heads in his mouth for some reason and gently “chew” on them…. The kittens actually enjoy this for some reason, but it still makes me a little nervous… hahaha. Simon still to this day could careless about our foster felines which is alright with me.
Thank you Simon and Ryder for being such sweet boys and loving on these sweet babies each and everyday. Thank you for sharing your mommy with them and never becoming jealous or harsh. I will keep bring them home to stay with us as long as you will have them.

month 8
You have a lump in your throat.
You’re nauseous.
The wind is knocked out of you.
Every inch of your body hurts, even your hair.
Yet you feel like your limbs aren’t attached to your torso.
All you want to do is sleep, but closing your eyes brings horrible images.
You scream, but your voice is gone.
Crying hurts.
Breathing hurts.
Living hurts.
Your head is splitting, and your ears are ringing.
There are bruises on your knees from being knocked to the ground.
You carry 1,000 pounds on your shoulders 24 hours a day.
You’re exhausted.
People speak around you, but you feel like you’re in a bubble.
There is always a sense of dread.
Your heart is broken.
You feel all of this all the time.
And yet…
This is only the tip of how I have felt over the past 8 months.

New Year's Goals... Update
* Try to BLOG more! I actually have a lot going on in life right now and I just need to take the time to share it all with you! Ü
* Shop LESS! By shopping less I mean not buying more clothes when I have 25 outfits hanging in the closet with the TAGS STILL ON!! I opened my linen closet today only to find not one... not two... but SIX bottles of shaving cream and more bottles of lotion and body wash than I will ever know what to do with! I'm a hoarder.... that's right "Hi my name is Kristina and I'm a HOARDER!" Ugh.... I'm not going to buy any more clothes for AWHILE and I'm going to try to actually run out of something before I go out and buy more.
I have NOT purchased ANY new clothes OR accessories so far in 2011! Ü I know it's only been a week, but TRUST ME... that's a BIG DEAL!
Buttttttt one thing that I already failed on was I had to exchange something at Bed Bath and Beyond ( one of my FAVORITE stores) and they had a 3 pack of buff puff bath sponges on clearnace for $1.99 originally $6.99!! How can I pass that up?!? But I did buy only ONE pack when I normally would have bought 2 or 3. So now I have 9 buff puffs in the closet. Errrrrrr it's okay. NO MORE THOUGH! ;) I'll get better I promise!
Have you noticed that I have blogged EVERY SINGLE DAY?!?! Whooo Hoooo GO ME! I'm definitely on the RIGHT track!
