Well, I'm sure you're wondering what happened to my promise to blog every day. Weeeelllll, quite frankly, I have had absofrickin'lutley nothing to talk about. Get up, go to work, come home, do some chores, read, watch some tv, go to sleep. Nothing much that deviated from that. But something interesting happened today. Someone brought an alpaca and her baby in to the nursing home where I work today! The baby was less than a day old, and it was SO CUTE! It looked like a little long legged lamb! And it was so soft! imagine the softest thing you can think of, and this was softer. It was so neat! you ought to have seen the look on the residents faces! They love it when critters come in, and lemme tell ya, this was some critter! One lady didn't know they were there until they came up behind her, and she had such a look of surprise on her face when the mother stuck her face over her shoulder. then such a sweet, amazed smile spread over her face. and you gotta understand something, this woman does not smile. If she smiles, it's a red letter day.

Then, to make matters better, my little nephew came over and saw me at work. He just turned four, and he's very cute! I may not have birthed him, but he's my boy! His birthday was saturday, and I had his pressie at my house. He started twitching when I told him his present was at my house. My mom has keys, so she had to bring him here to get it, or he never would have given them any peace. Ah, youth. Then again, I'm the same way over presents, both giving and recieving, so I can see where he gets it.

Well, I know what you're thinking. SHE SAID SHE'D BLOG EVERY DAY! SHE LIED! FETCH THE TORCHES! Well, I have a good reason. From friday night to just now, I was locked out of my home. Yes. That's what I said. I was locked out of my home. And through no fault of anyone else, it was my own DUUUUUHHHHH moment.
My family went to the reunion in Kentucky this weekend, and I needed to go spend the night there to let the dog out of the house so he could pee. God forbid they should actually install a dog door. well, I packed an over night bag, 'cause I was intending to spend friday night there, go home saturday, let the dog out again through the day on saturday, et go home saturday night, 'cause they'd be home on sunday morning....not gonna happen. I left my keys sitting on my kitchen table when I shut my door, engaging the dead bolt. I was stuck. I had to spend the weekend at my mom's house, 'cause the spare keys were in her van, which was in Kentucky. Yeah. I'm a moron. I admit it. I'm just glad I filled the kitties food bowls before I left and cleaned the litter box. otherwise I would have come home to find a mess.

Well, there's my duhhhhhhhhhhhhh moment. I hope you find entertainment of the highest order laughing at it. Now, I'm off to wal mart to get some keys made...excuse me.

'Allo there everyone. I got home from work tonight, and while I was opening the door, a moth got in. Oh my, you would have thought Wiggles and Stubbs were junk yard dogs the way they chased that thing around. Good thing for it, it stayed up on the ceiling. It would have been kitty chow if it had landed anywhere. I gave the necklaces I finished to the woman for the wedding today. She seemed to like them pretty well....and I can't see the screen right now, because Stubbs just jumped in front of the monitor. Excuse me a minute.... Ok, back. And inverness, I haven't forgotten the deal. What say you? > I say at least a day.

HEEEEEELLOOOOOOOOOOO EVERYBODY! LOL. Been a while, huh? Well, just a few days (or weeks, whatever) my good friends inverness and foreverknight were fussing at me to blog. Wellllll, I've got a deal for them. Or rather, a deal for inverness, since he's driving. I'll blog every day from now until they come to visit, if they stay longer than the few hours they were planning.  I know, I know, it's evil, and it's manipulative.....I'm so proud of this plan.  LOL.

Anyway, to start this blog off right, I've got some really cool news to share. I've reccently gotten an interest in jewelry making, and I brought some of the bracelets and necklaces in so my co workers could see them. Brace yourself. When they saw them, two people wanted to buy some stuff! I sold four bracelets and two necklaces! Three of the bracelets and the necklaces are gonna be used in a wedding for crying out loud! How freakin' cool is that?! I tried to get some pics of the jewelry, but none of them turned out well, unfortunately.

Here's some pics of other things, though.

I took this pic on my live forever bushes last summer. Butterflies were thick on those things. Every time I'd walk to the garage, I'd set off a flock.

This is a common buckeye. Don't you just love the eyespots?

Stubbs is settling in well. Here he is getting ready to ambush either me or Wiggles, I don't think he's quite decided yet.

If he was waiting for Wiggles, it'd be a while.

Well, there it is. Have a good day, night, evening, whatever!

NO, I'm not dead! I've been busy. Since I've blogged last, I've purchased a new home, got a new job, and got a pair of new kitties. Ok, so they're not new, they're the kitties Foreverknight, Iverness, and Katking have been babysitting for me. Wondering how I got them? Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllll, I've got two visitors. Foreverknight and Inverness came down to visit today! Yay!!!! *Clapclapclapclapclap* They taught me a new dice game, "cough"beatIvernesstwice"cough". *snicker* Say hi guys!

"Shut up Mel!"

"We're watching Drawn Together!"

....OK then. LOL. (They didn't really say that.) Next time I'll post pics of the house, the kitties, and I WILL be blogging again. LOL.

Ok, if anyone was wondering WHY I typed in so many wierd tags, it was to get as many people here as I could get. Simply because I need some outsider opinions, and I figured where better to get opinions then Mindsay, where people are notorious for giving their opinions? This is my dilemma. I lost my job reccently, and I am deadly sick of this town. I have my nursing license, and I can get my license transfered to a different state without much trouble, so I can move pretty much anywhere in the country I wanted. A few friends of mine have been after me for ages to move up to Wisconsin with them, and I might be ready. But I don't know what to do!

PROS: 1: A new town, new state, new start. 2: My friends are there, which means I wouldn't be there alone. 3: A place to stay is secure. 4: jobs are always avaiable. 5:FREEDOM 6: my mom WOULDN'T be there.

CONS: 1: New state, new start. I know that is also a pro, but it can also be scary, and a con as much as a pro. 2: all my family is in Indiana 3: getting started in a new place is difficult. 4: how would I get everything up there? 5: would there be room for me in Wisconsin?

So there it is. C'mon folks, help me out. I need opinons, and I appreciate any that are given.
