Title
Nala's Mommy
Bio
I live a quiet, peaceful life, and that's the way I want it to be. I have a precious cat who appeared at my doorstep in the middle of the night crying when she was a tiny kitten, and I kept her, naming her Nala. My life's dream is to retire in a little log cabin, way out in the forest, far away from all humans. Just me and my kitties, bunnies, birdies and my own garden and sewing machine and computer. The only place I'd go would be to the library or to the creek nearby to catch frogs.

The Letter

This last Monday I finally received the letter that I was hoping to receive. It came earlier than I thought it would. It’s the letter from my company telling me when I go back to work. February 20th is the estimated start date. It may be earlier than that. I’m excited… Read full post »

After the Holidays

Been doing a bit of thrift store shopping after the holidays. I have a new favorite store now. It's called Savers



Today there was a huge, and I mean huge sale there today. I found these totally cute salt and pepper shakers.

 I used my 20% off coupon for them. Every tiRead full post »

I Wish I Had...

At this time of year I wish that I had a scanner. And not jut a scanner but a new iMac, printer to go with it. And also some nicer furniture. Not to mention all of the sewing supplies that I lost in the recent move. The list… Read full post »

At This Time of Year

As I sit here writing this post, listening to the cute sound of my kitty crunching her food I think. I'm safe here in my little place. And at this time of year I sometimes use the long days to clean and get ready for the coming year. I do

I Think I'm An Atheist



It's almost Christmas, and I cannot help but remembering where I was and what I was doing this time last year. I'd just moved back to the area from the high Sierras. And I was not a very "happy camper". But I'd also gotten word that I'd… Read full post »

Places Unseen

I finally made it up north to get my belongings out of storage. I did it in 3 days! I left Monday morning around 11 and returned Wednesday night here, around 5 p.m. Here is my apartment complex, before I left.

Round trip the miles were 1,002. And don't even ask… Read full post »

A Road Trip Up North

Lately as usual, I'm reading a lot of novels. This is a really good one. I picked it up at the "help yourself" shelf at the library where I volunteer. And I am glad that I did, it's a very good book. IT's called Taming It Down.taming

Cave Dwelling

A few mornings ago, I woke after a really interesting dream. My friend Tiana was in it too. In my dream I was going to visit her. She lived in a nicely decorated cave. To get there I had to drive through a beautiful foresty, lush green area, with a meandering… Read full post »

Charactures

I am going to start posting the pictures that I draw, here is one, no two.

I realize now that I am so busy lately, this blog writing has become, well, less interesting than it was before. Anyway, maybe I should just use it to post my art. It’s better than/

Among Others

This is a book I just finished reading, Among Others. It's on the Fantasy group. I loved it too. I think I'll get the rest of this author's novels.

School has been a bit trying. In that I have never designed an entire website from Photoshop. I thought it would be easier. IRead full post »

Scab!

I had a busy busy week this last week.

First I want to say that I had my other blog (Google Blogger) blocked for a couple of weeks, because I had an online stalker. Yes, I am so popular that a man stalked me. For about oh, 2 weeks. I really don't

Those Chinitas

Today I had my EDD appeal hearing. The word "chinitas" is the Spanish word meaning "Asians or Chinese". I learned it from my Mexican friends from Mexico. It's also slang for the kind of people who are pretty much the dishonest Asians who come over here expecting us to adhere to… Read full post »

This week is the first week of the new Fall Semester. Tomorrow I go to my literature course, I'm waitlisted for it. I was gonna 'audit' or retake my algebra to brush up on it, since I haven't had any math in years. But I found out today that I won't… Read full post »

It's Hot Here

Wow I think the last time that I posted a blog was back in June. So since I'm feeling a little lazy and relaxed today, just thought I'd update my Menagerie. I've been letting my hair grow.

I'm back to looking for work and waiting until the college

What I Shouldn't Say

Every time I make a new blog post I notice that I no longer have a ‘menagerie’. I don’t have my bunnies any more. But I do still have my cat Nala. This studio apartment isn’t even big enough to have room for a sofa. I couldn’t even… Read full post »

Now I Can Write

Today it sprinkled. I took the day off in order to go and get blood-work done. That is, I had my blood taken. My doctor thinks there's something going on with my thyroid. So I guess we will find out now if there is. I've been putting

What I Don't Buy

Today, after I got my new haircut and style at Regis in the mall, I walked through some of the mall and didn't buy a few things. Even as I type this, it sounds weird to me. Is it because of the grammar, or because I actually saw
