Lazy Day.

Today I had a lazy day. Except I deep cleaned the whole house. But here I am at 3:30 pm and I'm still in my pj's and haven't even brushed my hair. The reason I get to stay home is because I lost my job a couple of weeks ago. It's been really difficult to find a new job. I finally found a very part time job at Shoppers (it's like a Wallgreens). It doesn't pay nearly enough, but I'm hoping to get more hours and find another job.

So while I've been home I've been playing with my cats a lot. Seriously, I am a cat lady. PROUD of it too! Here's Theo hiding from me the other day. Well, he was just asleep but I thought it was really cute!

And here's Audrey the other day sleeping on me. She's so cute, but still really sick.

I've also been cooking A LOT! I've been making lots and lots of meals for Randy. :) Here's my pasta from the other night. Even though it's Hamburger Helper, it was still pretty good!


Here's my being bored with Audrey.


And here's our Christmas tree. It doesn't look this great anymore, Audrey has a fetish with our tree and climbs it NON STOP! So it's all bent, and broken. It has character though!


If you know my mom, you know that she loooves to decorate for holidays. Well, I have QUITE a bit up. But I haven't transferred the photos yet. I'll do another post with all my holiday stuff!
Last week we had the coldest day ever. It was -45 making Calgary the second coldest place in the WORLD! I'm sorry Utah friends, but you can't compain! Now I'm off to hang out with the hubby and we're going to play some Donkey Kong Returns. We're obsessed! Also, I'll be putting up a new header next week! :)

Crazy Cat Lady!

This story starts last year. When Randy and I moved out of his first place in Erin Woods we adopted his roommate's cat Rascal.



We renamed him Theo and everyone knows how much we love him! It was crazy for me to want to take in a cat because i used to definitely be a dog person! As my dad says: "Cats are evil, they'll eat your eyes out!"

So then when we were getting married Randy asked me what I wanted for a wedding present. I surprised myself and said I wanted another kitty!
So after lots of days at the SPCA we ended up with an SPCA cat but from my friend who adopted the kitty because she was about to be euthanized. We were so blessed to get this little kitty and we named her Audrey.


Now my family likes to joke that I'm the crazy cat lady! Well my friends, I admit it! I am!

Last night we were coming home from having dinner with my parents and we say a stray cat. We see this little cat all the time. It looks like Theo, and sometimes we mistake him for Theo. This cat also likes to peek in our windows. Well we had never gotten close enough to this cat until last night. He came up to me and had TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE matting all over him. (If you know anything about matted hair on a cat, it twists their skin so much it makes it so they can't perspirate and they bruise up and it's the most excruciating pain) It was so bad that I think I hurt him when I touched him. I wanted to keep it sooo bad, I almost started crying and told Randy we needed to save him!

We made some calls and found out that we can take him to a 24 hour hospital (as this was a friday night at 10 pm) and they would take the cat in. We dropped him off and it broke my heart so think i might not see this cat again. (He's one of theo's friends, and i think theo misses him now!) We would never be able to pay the hospital bills because the cat has to be shaved under sedation, so we had to give him to the hospital.


(this is the cat we found last night. looks just like theo!!)

So now I'm trying to convince Randy to let me adopt this third cat, because theo needs his friend/girlfriend back! I'm hoping he'll let me!

xoxo,
Crazy Cat Lady
