Mommy & Me Monday

Today we hung out in the yard for a little while & rested on the hammock. It was a beautiful day out. Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Bermuda dreaming

Every year at this time I start thinking about Bermuda. We got married there almost 6 years ago (our anni is coming up 5/30). So I start thinking about the sparkling waters & pretty sand. Someday we'll go back & get to see more. It was the happiest day of my life.

Mother/daughter mani/pedi party

Today we went to a mother/daughter mani/pedi party at 1 of our Mom friend's houses. It was a beautiful day out & we sat out on her deck. A Mary Kay rep had us soak our feet in warm water with foot fizzies & then we put an exfoliator scrub on & a foot cream. Tara didn't want to have her nails done. Then we got to use some hand scrubs & lotions.

My toes painted with Mary Kay, Lava.

T was in a grumpy mood today & finally let me paint her finger nails as we were leaving the party. She picked a gold color. It's really pretty, but kind of blends in with your skin.

We had some yummy food too (the salad was awesome with lettuce & strawberries & a sweet homemade dressing with sesame seeds in it. I need to get this recipe)

Nail files. week # 20

I just got this nailpolish a few days ago. It's Essie's, No More Film. I so love purple. This pic isn't too clear, but you get the idea. I just bought some Essie, Grow Stronger. I'm hoping it will help my thin, dry nails. Has anyone used it before?

Blogger:Claim your blog (need help)

I got an e mail saying that I needed to claim my blog/recover my blog because of the new blogger. I can't seem to figure this out. It says something about me losng my blog on 5/30 if I don't claim it. When I try to log in it says my username. I can't log in through aol, so I have to go in through Explorer. I hate explorer & never use it & feel lost with it. Has anyone else gotten this e mail & how did you claim your blog? I've had my blog for 4 years & really don't want to lose it. Hubs doesn't have time to look at it & try to help me. I've tried to figure it out. Would really love some help with this.

Wordless Wednesday~Pinterest faves

Yum of the day

I found these in the grocery store the other day. I had never heard of them. I've really gotten into quinoa lately. I also like flax & have heard how good chia seeds are. They are really good. I start eating them & can't stop. That's not so good. Even if something is healthy, too much of a good thing isn't good.

Mommy & Me Monday

We took this pic on Saturday. It was a self portrait. It's 1 of my fave recent pics of us.

JoJo

My beautiful baby JoJo isn't doing so well lately. I've noticed that she had lost some weight, but I have heard that as cats get older they start to lose weight. She had always been 10 lbs. Last year when she went for her yearly check up, she was 9 lbs, but she had a uti too. So she went this week for her yearly check-up & she's down to 7 & 1/2 lbs. I was really surprised. She looks thin when she stands up & when she laying down, she looks heavier (her big belly). This photo was taken earlier last week, before she went to the vet. Well the vet called Friday night & said she didn't have diabetes or kidney problems. He wanted to try her on antibiotics because she had bacteria in her urine & he thinks she has another uti & her dental disease might be causing bacteria. He's going to check her urine again after she finishes the antibiotics. She hasn't had a blood test yet. He had mentioned that a blood test would show if she had something like cancer. He felt her body & didn't feel any tumors or anything. So I feel like there is hope. She will be 15 in June & I really do feel like she might not make it that much longer. I've had her for 12 years since she was 3 & she was my 1st cat when I moved out on my own, so I feel a lot closer to her & like she really is my child. We've been through so much through the years. She's always made me smile & cheered me up when I needed it. She's a lovey, cuddly, friendly cat. She loves sitting on people's laps. I'm hoping she will make it a few more years & make it through all of this.
