Kitty Cat

I love cats.
I have one, Walter, but he lives with my parents. It's been about a year since we lived together. I miss him everyday. That's why I have to watch youtube videos to cheer me up when I miss him.

Here are some videos that I like.

This is one to watch if you have a spare 35 minutes. Well worth it.



The corporal cuddling and cat yodeling are my favourites



And roombas + cats



What are your favourite cat videos/websites?

Tattoos

Okay okay okay! I have gotten many comments about my tattoos on here and I have finally taken some photos, albeit bad web cam ones, of most of my tattoos.

1. Steve Buscemi as Seymour from Ghost World. I love this movie, I love that character, I love the drawing.

2. Crocheted circle. I love to crochet circles and then take them apart.

3. Standing fat cat. A tribute to my kitty Walter who I dont get to live with anymore.

4. Mounted dead bleeding rat with a diamond for one eye. This is actually based on a piece of jewelery.

5. Sacred pork chop. Pork is my favourite meat, be it bacon, ribs, or chops. I took the classic "mary of guadeloupe" and replaced Mary with a porkchop and the little angel underneath with a lumberjack.

6. Hank Williams Sr. He is one of my favourite musicians. A tribute to Southern America as well. He is obviously only half finished.

I have other little things floating around but these are my main pieces, some finished, some not.
I hope that was okay and if you have any questions, just ask!

Happy Weekend!

Good Morning!

We are leaving on our little vacation this afternoon.
Oh wait, today is our one year wedding anniversary!
We were going to Montreal, but last night we changed our minds and are heading to Niagara Falls instead.
We didnt get to have a honeymoon, and we wanted to do Niagara Falls last year, but we just didnt have the time.
We got a hotel right on the falls, so we will see both the Canadian and U.S. falls from our bedroom window!

We will hit the casino and all the tourist stuff, i.e. the ripley's museums and wax museum.
I cant wait to get there!!

I have to pack and shower in the next few hours, then we are off!

Lots of pictures and videos will be taken, and I'm even bringing a film camera.

I am so excited!!!


Here is an outfit post to start your weekend.

DOUBLE VISION

JAYA and KAYA

Tip: Anything that is heavily thrift with some non-thrift. just super punk in style/diy.



I'm someone who needs a push, a BIG one, to get my butt in gear.
I start sewing when Project Runway is back on TV.
I start dressing differently when I see really amazing ladies experimenting and doing their own thing.

Friday the 13th

The second busy weekend is about to start, with two more to go!
This weekend is our godson's/nephew's first birthday party.
Next weekend is our first wedding anniversary and we will be driving to Montreal for about 3 days. I'm so excited for that. It will be our first time going there together. The last weekend is Laura's wedding.
I think we get September off, then it starts up again with birthdays and holidays in October.

Here is a dress I found in my closet at my parent's house that I bought ages ago but have never worn.

More Polka Dots

What a busy weekend!
I went to the festival two days in a row, ate a bunch of food and wore a crop top both days!

I went to Laura's shower in a town about 2.5 hours away. I had never been there before and was a bit nervous for the drive but it went smoothly.
The scenery was amazing. It really reminded me of Kentucky.

This is what I wore.

I love it that much.

This shirt is my new "I feel good" item.
I had a pretty good week. I did a lot around the house, got myself a bit more organized.

This weekend is the Festival of Friends which means lots of food and music and hippie jewelry.
On Sunday I am going to my friend Laura's bridal shower. I am so bad with gift ideas but I hope she'll like it.


I hope everyone has a good weekend and that the weather stays nice!

New Pet

This morning I woke up to a visitor on our screen door.

aug4-01

A praying mantis.

I'm pretty much scared of it.
It's been on the door all day.
I really need to get on the balcony to throw away my pepper plants as they are covered in lady bug larvae, but I fear it jumping on me.
I sprayed him with water and he didn't move. All he did was clean off his antenna cause they were soaked. It did make for some good photos though.

aug4=08

aug4-09

I am so fascinated with it cause it has eyeballs and if you get really close to him, he cocks his head to the side and stares at you.

see????

aug4-19


I did go out and got rid of some plants, but I have to do it in stages and always keeping on eye on him!


I learned today that every time I shave, it will result in 2inch infections all over my leg that become bruised and a hard mass. Awesome! So now I can't shave me legs anymore. I asked the doctor what I should do and he said that I have to use a cream that just dissolves the hair, no more razors.
I can't wait until these 10 huge sores heal so I can test his recommendation.

Have any of you used a chemical hair removal cream and can recommend one that is good/not too harsh??
