Just two weeks to the day we sail away. I’m really looking forward to this trip. I’ve been keeping myself busy hunting for clothes that I can wear for all of the events on and off the ship.
I swear, I never though I would ever say this, but lossing so much weight can be a pain sometimes. I must have walked every mall, hitting every store at least 3 times. Good lord, I’ve tried on so many items I don’t think my hair will every be the same.
However, the good news is I must have walked sooo much I hit another Goal !!!
Major Happy Dance!

Well I thought I was on a roll, but may it’s just a bounce. I always seem to lose, then bounce up and down a few ounces, then lose again. So .. I’m still losing, but it’s not as fast as I use to. What’s new about that … when you get old nothing is like it used to be. lol

Well, not to change the subject … but I forgot to tell you that my last batch of beautiful furry babies are now grown and at the pet store ready to get loving homes. We miss them, but that what I do it all for. To get them raised so they can all get homes.

Today was my Birthday, so Hubby played hookie from work and we decided to take Disneyland up on their “Your Birthday Free” offer. That Free day for me, wasn’t so Free… It cost more than you think it would. But, It was fun to see the old park again. I have to say, I’m not so happy with the happiest place on earth any more. They’ve made soooo many changes, and for me … not for the better. I know they want to keep the park current, but I really miss the Old Park. The Park I grow up in, the rides I could recite word for word, if I felt like it. lol
Oh well, I guess time marches on.

I STILL HATE PLATEAUS !!

I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before, but I STILL HATE PLATEAUS !! It’s been a week or so and no weight loss. Although, I think I may be losing sizes, cause my clothes are getting too big Again …… How it does that I’ll never understand … Dropping sizes, yet No weight loss … but it does. Oh well …I guess time will tell.
I just hope I don’t stop here, cause I feel I still have 40 to 50 pounds to get to where I want to be.
Lets hope it is just the dreaded Plateau and not my bodies stopping point. They say, your body will stop where it feels it should and it will fight to the death to stay were it wants to. I’ve sent my body the memo where I want it to get to, but I don’t think it cares what I want .

As for my Furry babies, they are doing GREAT! Getting Bigger and more Adorable every day.
I’m sooooo happy because they haven’t shown any signs of the typical illnesses I usually get with most of the abandon stray baby kitties I get.

This is an odd tale. About a week ago Hubby and I found a stray cat out by the pool. He didn’t look well at all, so I took him in and tried my best to save him, but it became clear that he just wasn’t going to pull through. Sadly we decided to take him down to the pound and have him mercifully put to sleep.

Here’s the odd part, as we were at the clerks window, a lady with her two kids came up behind us holding a large plastic box.

Curiosity got the best of me, so I took a peek in the box. Low and behold there was a litter of 4 baby kitties in there. They were approximately two weeks old.
Since I was a bottle feeder for a different pound and several other agencies, I knew that the pound would put them the sleep, because they do not have the staff to bottle feed kittens.

Just a few weeks ago, I babysat a 5 day old kitten for a nice lady that found him and was going out of town. I found myself have trouble staying awake for the around the clock feedings, so I told me hubby I would have to stop caring for kittens for a while, until I get truly back on me feet after the surgery.
It’s a hard job bottle feeding even one litter, but sometimes I just have to rest … and I can’t just lay down and take a nap when I need to while I’m caring for a litter of hungry Kitties.

So, as I stood there looking at those sweet angels in the large plastic box, my mind and heart were in a battle, should I or should I not take them. My mind told me … you just had a problem staying awake on the last baby and you don’t want to take on another litter….. And my heart just couldn’t turn away and let them be killed just for being babies.

You guessed it, My Heart won out and I’m bottle feeding 4 of the cutest little angels.
What are the odds of being in line with a box of bottle feeding kitties, behind an experienced bottle feeder. I tell you it must have been fate.

So, if any body in So. Cal. wants a give a good home to one or more of my little angels, they should be ready to get new homes by
November 1 ….
