I have been meaning to ... ooops! I had let the dogs outside and meant to go let them inside and forgot!  It happens. Anyhow, I have been meaning to blog but my computer is a little broken. I sit in front of a computer all day long at work I suppose I could blog from work. I don't like to blog from work because when I blog I become absorbed in what I am writing and lose track of time. I become distracted and unable to concentrate on my job so I would rather not do it. However, Mark has two computers. I could easily use his to blog. Truth of the matter is, after sitting in front of a computer for eight and a half ours a day, the last thing I feel like doing when I get home is sitting in front of a computer. Oddly enough, I never felt this way before. I feel poised on the edge, restless. Sitting still in front of a computer seems intolerably boring although I can't say I don't enjoy it when I do sit at the computer. I guess I wanted a little bit of a change and decided to take a little break from the computer world. I suppose you can say it worked because I felt this compelling need to blog today.

My cats Bosco and Jade are not living with their aunt Franca. Jade used to spend most of her life hiding in a corner. She absolutely hated the dogs and refused to interact with them on any level. She skittered and hid for the past five years. After the loss of Chester, (Franca's cat) Dexter (Chester's brother) was lonely. Franca agreed to take Bosco and Jade because they've been together since birth and she didn't not want them to be separated. So far, Bosco has adjusted quite well. Jade is still Jade but I am hoping that with time, she becomes less shy and comes out more. I don't believe she likes Dexter. I think she would make the ideal pet in a home with no animals, no kids, just a quiet, single cat home. Since the departure of these cats, Damien has become quite the cuddle-monster. He is around us no matter where we go. He comes when you call him. Whether Mark is sitting on his Lazy Boy, laying on the couch or tucked in under the blankets in bed, you can be sure that Damien will be there.  He absolutely adores Mark! All the pets do.

I had a New Year's Party at my house. A New Year's Air Hockey/Hot Tub Party at that! Complete with a disturbing 2 Girls/1 Cup tribute. If you don't know what that is, you're better off. If you do, it really was one of the most perverse things I have ever witnessed.... and not in a good way either. It was a dual themed night though because the cast of A Clockwork Orange also put in an appearance!  Most of my guests spent the night and were greeting with breakfast before they headed out. It was a good time and the first one I got to spend with Mark (I was in Florida with my sisters last year)

We're rearranged the spaces. I do have pictures but I haven't posted them yet. I really like the set up. I had my doubts at first. But it has really grown on me and I do quite enjoy it. Watching Enterprise is actually quite cozy. The only thing missing that would make it just right is a small area rug. I think a little area rug would just pull it all together.

And, I cut my hair! Well, I cut my hair in early December. I am almost due for another haircut. The trouble with short styles is that if you don't tend to them, they look all messy. I like my new short hair. It's very light but I have to blow dry it a little which sucks a lot because I hate blow drying my hair. I got a hair curler/brush blow dryer for Christmas which is perfect for me. It styles as it dries so I don't have to try to hold the blow dryer with one hand while maneuvering the brush with the other. It is a great invention and I am very glad for miracle inventions.

I had wanted to do some product reviews and post some recipes, but after all this, I have lost interest. It's terrible I know!  I promise that it won't take this long between posts. I should have some pictures and reviews of some of my interesting vegan finds!

Oh.... I just remembered something.... I hear lots of people saying the word vegan pronounced differently than the way I pronounce it. I know I have heard people say it the way I do, but I wanted to check if there was a correct way to pronounce it.  They are both correct.

The problem with going so long between blogs is that I forget about all the things that I wanted to write about. I am sure they will come to me.

Stay Safe & Have Fun!

P.S. I am still just as terrible today as I was yesterday at proof-reading.
