The other night dear as I lay sleeping, I dreamed I held you in my arms.


The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried.


You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away



A week ago tonight Kitty-Man passed away.  Monday was definitely one of the hardest days of my life I didn't know it was possible for a human to cry as hard as I did, especially for a cat.  Kitty-Man wasn't just a cat he was a companion.  When I first moved to Las Vegas I was going to be living alone and I hated that idea, so one day my fiance came and visited and I dragged him to Leid Animal Shelter to find a furry friend.  We came home with a 2 year old male Russian Blue.  I had never owned a male cat before, and I had in my mind that Cats were girls and Dogs were boys.  This is completely insane but it was just an idea that I was stuck with.  For the first few weeks of owning him I kept referring to him in the feminine pronoun.  My fiance and I couldn't figure out what to name him, we kicked around a lot of ideas and when we took him for his first vet visit we were asked what his name was and my fiance blurted out Octavius.  So, for a while he was Octavius and he was my new kitty.  As funny as that name was it didn't suit this kind-hearted playful little grey guy, so I started referring to him as a little Kitty-Man and I realized that was his name.  

Kitty-Man loved everyone, whenever we had someone in our home he immediately wanted to be best friends, whether it was family, friends or the plumber he loved everyone.  

The moment our second cat Popples first laid eyes on him I truly believed in love at first sight.  She took one look at him and never left his side until last week.  

We are moving onto our new normal, the house seems a little empty and the void that he has left will never be filled but we are so very grateful to have been able for him to spend his life with us.  I am a very strong Christian and I know we will see him again until we do I will think about him every day and be grateful that we were able to have that kind of love in our life.

RIP
 Little Grey Love of our Life

TV Shows that I don't care for, but I have tried really hard...

Image
I did a post on my favorite TV shows of all time, so now I am going to talk about TV Shows that I just don't care for, but have tried really hard to like.  These shows fall under a subcategory of "shows that people my age tend to like."  Many of the actors in these shows I like in other tv shows or movies, but I just don't like or am disappointed by these shows in particular.  Another thing to note is I have seen many episodes of each one of these shows and have given them all a fair shot.  Also, these are not in any particular order. Please don't be offended by this post as it is completely opinion based: Friends (1994-2004) - Most girls my age were and still are obsessed with this show.  I watched it in high school and college along with everyone else, but when I step back and actually think about the show, I never really liked it at all.  The characters were always making really bad decisions, acting slutty and not really caring about people around them; th

How did it get to be 2018?

Happy New Year!! I know I am 19 days late on the well wishes but 2018 was a rough start in my household. We got the flu and my husband and I were down for the count. We realized by the end of it that we haven't spent that much time together in our home since we first got married; but instead of it being a fun honeymoon busily settling into our new home it was a lot of cough syrup, chicken soup and video games.  The bright spot was I was able to introduce my husband to SNES' Zelda a Link to the Past. He had never played it!!  I know that game better than I know most things (I am a huge video game nerd) so it was fun playing it with him for the first time. I love making New Years resolutions, and I still did that this year but I am starting them a little late.  I decided the best way to get going with my resolutions is to share them on my blog.   1) Continue to Choose Happy:  A few years ago, I made some changes in my life and I decided to be happy and enjoy life.

New Years Resolution or Goal Setting?

Image
Every year I make the same resolutions; eat healthier, read my Bible daily and save more money.  Some years I have kept these going throughout the year and have done quite well but some years not so much.  This year I am not making resolutions but starting goals.  I know you may think that is the same thing but the difference is I am not going to hold myself to just this year, or if I fail in my goal I will just pick right up again and not wait until the end of a month or year.  Each day is a new day and if one day I fail, I will just pick up where I left off.   Here are some goals I am setting starting in this new year! 1) Eat/Live Healthier - This one is pretty self explanatory.  I need to stop all of my crazy eating habits.  I am not 18 and a distance runner anymore.  I cannot eat a pint of ice cream in one sitting.  (not that I have done that in many years, but you know what I mean.  I did eat 3 donuts in one sitting very recently.)  I am going to set the goal to work out as ma
