Like Cat, Like Owner

Sam went to the vet today because he has an infected cut at the tip of his ear. As it turns out, another animal, probably a cat, bit right through his ear. There was a hole!!! Now, he's on antibiotics and I have to open the wound twice a day to drain the fluid. Gross.

The funny part is, he's taking amoxycillin, which is what I'm taking for my ear infection/sinus cold.

Today, though, at the end of the day, things turned around. I got The OC, Season 1, Disc 7 in the mail. Pure JOY.

Have Cape, Will Travel

I made these capes for my nephews for Christmas, from a pattern I got from this blog.

They were a hit!

Things I've Bought That I Love

As a tribute to Mindy Kaling's blog, here are a few things I've recently purchased that I just love.

Aloe Soothing Day Cream from The Body Shop


This lotion is unscented, doesn't have alcohol as one of the first few ingredients, and is not drying. It's also not overly thick, doesn't leave a film, blends in really well, and keeps my face moisturized but not shiny for the whole day. It's worth the price. $14








Kiss My Face Clean for a Day face cleanser

I picked this up at Whole Foods and I love it. It smells really good, like tangerine, but it's not too powerful of a scent. It's not drying at all, but my face feels clean after washing. I love it. I'd been using Cetaphil, but it really wasn't getting my face clean and kind of dried me out at the same time. It is good for removing makeup, though.







A Shabby Chic Milk scented candle ($28 - way way too much but it smells fantastic. Though to some people, it smells like Ivory soap. I don't get it.). They aren't available online, but they have stores in malls. If you go into the store and fall in love with the way it smells, this candle is for you.

Good Times

I went ice skating yesterday. No falls for me or my brother; plenty for my nephew. It was fun but I think I'm going to sign up for lessons at the local rink. And buy some knee pads.

Friday Night

It's 10 o'clock, Friday night, and I'm into my 5th episode of the OC, Season 1 (I love Netflix.). I've been in my pajamas since 6, and I'm knitting.

I'm 35. Not 16, not 65. 35. I think the thing I'm struggling with is, as much as I want to be at home, comfy and just vegging out, I find it hard to get past the fact that it's Friday night and I'm at home, comfy in my pjs, watching a 4-year old teeny-bopper comedy-drama and knitting. Maybe it's the knitting. Tomorrow, I'll wake up with my first gray hair. Hahaha. My first... I'm not looking forward to that day.

It will be a cute hat and pair of socks, though.

Update: I forgot to mention the 2 cats hanging around. Aah the single life! :) I do love it, though. Especially when it's like 10 degrees out.

Being Happy

I think I've come to realize that the secret to being happy is to have lowered expectations. That way, if something good happens, I'm happy, and if nothing good happens, I'm not unhappy because I didn't expect anything good to happen in the first place.

I think after a while it will get a little depressing.

3 and 4 Sentence Movie Reviews: Juno and Enchanted

I saw Juno; it was great! I love that Michael Cera, what a cutie, and Ellen Page was also great. Witty dialogue, great soundtrack. I think they did the singing.

Enchanted was awesome. It's nice to know that Disney can poke fun at themselves. Great humor and costumes.
