Bio
I live a quiet, peaceful, non-violent life. And that's the way I want it to be. I have a precious kitten named Nala who appeared at my doorstep in the middle of the night crying, and I kept her. And recently an abandoned baby bunny found me too. He was starving and lost. He now lives in his own home with my kitty and I, and is very happy now. I live in southern California, where everyone knows that the rent and real estate is too high, and the wages aren't. And I have a work-at-home typing business (which I love because it puts me in control). I'm in college pursuing my AA in graphic art. I used to live in a convent. My favorite thing to do is.....nothing. To anyone who ventures through any of my blogs, just be warned that I only write what I see and feel. I try not to look at issues and people and events through a lens, I try to write exactly what I see.

Errands And Exercise

I did lots of errands and driving around today. First I went to the gym first thing today and got a good hour of exercise. I really really need to get to the gym a lot more. Because the exercise makes me feel 100% better. When I got home, Amber called… Read full post »

Why I Shouldn't Drink Coffee

II chronicles 30, 9: For if ye turn again again unto the Lord, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land. For the Lord your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his… Read full post »

Why I Now Love My Bathroom

Today I put the new bunny in the bathroom while I showered and got ready for my day. She likes the bathroom, it's quiet. I picked her up and she cuddled her head under my chin and did her teeth grinding noise. It's a thing that bunnies do when they're happy… Read full post »

Bunny Poop Smells Cute

Lately I've been having to give my little bunny Priti her antibiotic medicine. It's pink liquid. I can tell she's feeling better too. She's not so grouchy and even seems more active. To give it to her, I bring her in the kitchen and place a small towel on the counter… Read full post »

School Project

Okay, I'm in class so this won't be a long post. We have to re-do the cover of a book or magazine. I chose The Black Stallion book by Walter Farley, since I loved all of those books when I was a child. They gave me good memories. I'm making the… Read full post »

What To Do Today?

Last night I was watching California's Gold with Huell Howser on the PBS channel. I can't stand his Arkansas hick accent. It was like watching more of the "good-ole-boys club". He was at the Hearst Castle, taking a tour. It's an 80,000 acre ranch. Okay, I just… Read full post »

Another Beautiful Day

I just went out to the post office. I noticed what an absolutely beautiful day it is today. This weather is perfect, not hot, not cold. I love days like this one. Today I'm going to the WISE Place house for a graduation at 3. And of course lunch too.

Cupcakes

I decided to go over to Bethany tonight for the usual Chinese that Bernie has for us, on her weekends. But just because I feel like it, I baked a huge batch of vanilla cupcakes. I have strawberry frosting to put on them. I'm not going over there empty handed any… Read full post »

My Friday So Far

Once again, I had to walk by that yummy smelling Krispy Kreme donut shop on the way into the courthouse.
One day I'm going to go in and buy a donut and coffee. Just not one day soon. The smell is soooo good. They have a drive-thru too.

I finally made… Read full post »

So Much To Do, So Little Time

Here I am at school in the lab, looking for some inspiration for my next project. This is going to be a short post. 

By the time I got to work I wasn't in a very good mood. Not a bad mood, just not a good mood. Those guys there really notice/

Bunnies & Bubble Baths

I slept in today. Even though Nala woke me at about 4:30, meowing from the living room to get up. Seriously, this cat of mine does not like being the only one awake at night. So she wakes me up. I was sound asleep, in the middle of a dream/nightmare… Read full post »

A Bunny Doctor's Appointment

I was up super early today. I'd planned on going to work for the few hours. But after I thought about my bunny Priti, I thought that I'd better take her in for a doctor's appointment. I called around to a few places but only got telephone recorders. So I looked… Read full post »

Traffic Court

I got out of bed super early today. And I spent all morning in the city traffic court. It was a lesson in the bureaucracy of the city governments and how they allow certain people to drive without licenses, and why. As I was sitting in the "audience", I noticed… Read full post »

A New Bunny

I've been reading up on bunnies. The books say that in order to not let your bunny get lonely, to go and get another bunny to keep her company. So I did that yesterday. I drove to the animal shelter and looked over all of the cute bunnies. There were so… Read full post »

A 3 Day Weekend?

Usually when 3 day weekends come along, I get some sewing done here at home. This is a 3 day weekend. Really it's a 4 day weekend for me. Because I didn't work yesterday. Let's see if I get to my sewing projects.

I just let Priti out of… Read full post »

Yep, that's what the news is sayin', the nation's unemployment rate is over ten percent. Obama is on the t.v. now, talking about it. I'm doing what I need to do while not working full-time. I'm in school working on bettering my skills. As the lab aide woman at school said,… Read full post »

My Bunny The Chihuahua

Every time I play with my baby bunny I notice how much she acts like a little tiny dog. It's the way she growls and jumps forward with her front paws, acting like a little dog. She climbs up on top of the back of the couch and then jumps off,… Read full post »

Plans, What Plans?

Today I had big plans, big. I was planning on going to the gym after I had a productive day today. But I wake up with a headache and I can't go now. It's not fun either. I at least got out of the apartment and made it to the courthouse… Read full post »

First Sunday Of The Month

Yes, it's the first Sunday of the month. It's not that this is a special day or anything. I just noticed that it's that day, the first of the month. And that means that I pay my rent in 2 days. And guess what? I have the money! kitties-9811Read full post »

Visiting Old Neighborhoods

Today my brother Jay picked me up and we drove clear out to Hollywood to visit our old neighborhood. We met up with Carl Burris too, at Patys restaurant in Toluca Lake. It was so cool to see him. I was best friends with his sister Jeannie Burris in 1st grade.… Read full post »
