The bead show was awesome! My mom is fun! I made a whole set after the bead show so go me! (with my moms help so it's like we both made things!) So the whole Sears thing....i filled out a survey online and there was a place for you to check if you wanted a customer rep to call you so i checked that. They actually called me on Saturday. They apologized for my terrible experience and are sending me a 25$ gift card for all of Sears not just the Auto part. So that is good. Seriously i was quite distraught over the situation.
Another stress inducing situation....my Capital One card's due date was changed on me. it was made 2 days sooner then the usual date so i was late paying it. So what did i get a late fee. Ugh! So i try calling the customer service to talk to them about it. After going through all their questions and getting each one correct they ask me for a password. Um what i say. I don't recall setting up a password for my card. But there is one and they can' t talk to me about my account unless i have this password. Um....but they will talk to me about my other Capital One card.... so I'm who i am for my one card but not my other one?!?! After 3 phone calls asking for supervisors and trying to get them to talk to me i gave up. I logged on to my online account (and no the password to that was not the password they were looking for believe me i tried) i saw an area to write them an e-mail. So i did.....they responded to my e-mail and reversed the charge....no magical password required....does this make any sense? i thought not. (no hassle my ass!)
In other news they finally brought my favorite tea back from the dead. Vanilla Caramel Truffle! I love this tea so glad to have it back! how i missed you. Please don't stray to far from me again....i don't think i could take it. :O( Ugh is this day over yet. Awful dreadful things Tuesdays are.

And a little more just b/c i can
But worry not I won’t stop there…I will tell you about the rest of our trip to NC. I got to see my old fun nice boss. She is cute and I miss her. I got my favorite chocolate ice Carmel drink thing that they have NO where up North I tell you! I got fresh potato chips (only found in the South I swear). I didn’t get my favorite lunch special but something’s can’t be helped. I did discover that warm croissants with honey on them are so very YUMMY. So are salads with lots and lots of mushrooms! YUM. Dan’s mom (I suppose my future Mother in Law) gave me an early birthday gift a really cute red purse. I have been looking for a new red purse!
I crocheted some of the never ending blanket #2. I read like 2 chapters of my book. I got to see Dan’s fur sisters and brothers. LOL. There was plenty of food I missed out on but when you’re poor that happens, also when you don’t have a car to drive around yourself that happens. A bike can only get you so far in 90+ weather. I did ride Dan’s grandmother’s bike, pink beach bike around a little. I do mean a little. It was hot. I could not even get a hold of my friend Carmen while I was down there. So I didn’t get to see her. Dan’s Grandmother couldn’t make it to the beach either so we didn’t get to see her. She is such a nice kind sweet lady.
But how can I really complain about much I got engaged and really that made me so happy. Beyond words. So upon returning my mom made me tortilla’s and sopapilla’s (did I spell that right?). She is the best ever! My sister was happy about my news she is cute! My friends all screamed in my ear with happiness. LOL And my work bought me pretty flowers. Fun times!
But don’t think it’s all sunshine and staple removers. I got my brakes and oil changed (ha) at sears before I left for NC. Like a week before I left. I spent 300$. I paid for an oil change. I didn’t get an oil change. But I paid 43$ for it. How does one discover this….well their car fails to start on a Monday… they are checking things out only to realize the oil has NOT been changed! That is not the reason for the car not starting but it could have been a reason the engine got ruined sooner. SO then I call the sears to let them know I will be bringing it in to show them it was not done. The manager gives me so much attitude that I call a different sears to see if they can give me my money back but Alas you have to go to the original auto center which is what I figured.
The manager tells me lots of insightful things “Your car is old” “your car has high mileage” “It’s been 10 days” “the oil isn’t going to be clear” “someone checked off that they did your oil change” “we get lots of people that Think we didn’t do an oil change.” Oh and he slips in there after yelling at me that “in this case you were in the right.” And no he does not say this after figuring out that I was indeed right no after he figured that out he slinked into his office with out making eye contact or talking to me. I only got a semi-apology after he argued how great he is with customers to me. WHAT? On the phone he didn’t even give me the chance to calmly tell him that I was bring the car in to show him. He already came at me with defenses. What the hell kind of customer service is that? It’s not. I got my money back. I do fear it cost me about 4 years of my life though.
Also I just found out he is not the manager. So when I asked for a manager its awesome how I didn’t get one. Also double awesome that I called to talk to the store manager and I didn’t even get them. What the hell. But at least the lady that was not the store manager was nice to me. Even though she didn’t believe me that an Elijah worked in her Montgomeryville Mall North Wales Sears Auto location. (Yes I just put that warning in there for you.) If you go there hope PRAY or do a dance that Janice is there b/c JANICE is nice and helpful and friendly and doesn’t make you want to kill baby bunnies.
Not that I’ll ever be taking my car back there but you can if you want. Basically my living nightmare (boy do I have a lot of those) is not having oil in my car and seizing the engine. A girl I once met got her oil “changed” but they failed to put new oil in! She goes and her engine seizes down the road! My oil was getting low and it was dirty. So I can’t imagine what it would have been like in another 3000 miles which is what I would have waited thinking my oil had been changed.
The more I think about this SEARS debacle the more pissed off I am becoming and the more I think I might report them to the better business bureau. I never have done that before but I am pretty dissatisfied with how the situation is being handled and I’m certain my complaint won’t even make it to the store manager or any real manager. So anyways I’ll end this post now.
Have a swell day (look I posted 3 times in one day).

This is what happens after the story....
After you finally get engaged (the damn thing people have been asking you about for months years....so when are you getting engaged?) Guess what the next question is....Whens the date? Um yeah about that i just got the ring on my finger you think i planned the whole wedding non-wedding already? I'm not one of those girls that has been secretly planning a wedding since her 12th birthday. I can't stand the sight of wedding dresses. And don't get me started on how much money people waste on weddings.
PEOPLE can't we all just be happy that the engagement part happened? Can't i be happy and sappy in that for a few months? I'm still shocked every time i see the pretty ring sitting nicely on my finger. HEY where did that come from i say...o....yeah my honey. :O) BUT NO I'm bombarded with "Whens the date?" And i know once you get married it's when you having babies. Well let me put this out there for you:
No wedding....maybe a party....no babies....unless by accident. That's my plan. Do you like it? is it romantic enough for you? captivating? does it draw in the crowds? No? you don't think? Well i guess my bottom line is - LET ME FREAK EN BE HAPPY ABOUT THIS ok?-
Well wishes love them! Whens the date.... Not liking that at all. But i know i know most people just have good intentions. I get that. But just be happy ok.

This is the story.
8-15-09
The day started out normal enough and he is a big photographer so his goal for the day was to catch the pretty sunset, again normal enough thing especially when at the beach. His friend and he went to Jet Ski and I stayed home to relax and crochet. (Yeah I wanted to Jet Ski as well but I get really seasick and after finally feeling normal from having to take motion sickness meds for the ride to NC I did not want to go and take more.) They come back from jet skiing and he suggest we go rent scooters. Cool but in typical us fashion nothing ever works out like it’s supposed to and the place is out of them. (He did call in advance and they failed to tell him on the phone that they only had two and one was broken and the other one was rented so in reality they had none.) The really bad part in this is we walked up there and his legs were already sore from Jet skiing so he was even more upset we had to walk all the way back.
But it did give us a change to walk along the beach which was nice. We get back to the beach house and try to figure out what time the sunsets so we can decide if we have enough time to drive off the island for dinner. I fall asleep, he finds out and we would have had time if he would have woken me up. Oops. Now we have a whole dinner debacle. Now if you have been reading this blog you know….you don’t mess with my food BUT you might also be telling yourself but Topaz…you don’t mess with your sleep either….such a delicate balance.
Well we drive one way on the island and there is no hope of food. He remembers a pizza place he saw so yeah let’s try there. Small parking lot + 6pm = too many people not enough spaces = a giant truck trying to get out of the tiny parking lot (we are in the giant truck) with and a-hole who can’t wait his turn = Dan yelling at some random hick = not exactly fun. We finally get out of the parking lot and head to the only other place we know. I know the place most likely wont have much I want to eat I have accepted this fact. What I could not accept….the 25$ minimum on credit card transactions. Barnacles, I was just going to get fries & a soda and call it a meal. No such luck.
Have to order a salad. I fail to keep my ever present picky radar on when ordering the salad and fail to notice the giant red flag….they didn’t ask what kind of dressing I would like. Not a good sign and this is why…the salad comes out with no chicken and this creepy onion cucumber tomato stuff. Anyone that knows me knows I HATE Onions. Well then they take it back and throw cold chicken on it….that's the “grilled chicken salad? Good thing your main sales point is seafood. He’s upset I’m telling him to just let it go. Let it go I’m past the hungry point on to the “we have to make it to the pier at sunset b/c I did not miss out on good food for nothing!!” So we leave and are headed for the pier to catch the sunset only he is not driving us to the pier. HE just passed the pier….where is this boy taking me?
What is his agenda? Well he used to work for a Doctor when we lived in NC who owns a beautiful 3 story beach house with a 3 story deck. So he is pulling up to the Doctor’s house and I know the Doctor is not there he is in Texas. My boyfriend informs me that he said we could use his deck to catch the sun setting. OK, cool it will be pretty….right?
Well that would be correct only there are too many clouds to even see the sun…but I say once it drops past this one point we can see it and the pretty colors it makes the sky. Also we have found a praying mantis and I declare that we have found our luck and all things will be right now b/c a praying mantises brings good luck!
So it does, the sun gets into a wonderful spot and the sky is lit up with pretty colors. We take pictures (ok mostly he does b/c he is actually good with a camera). Just as the sun is about to do its final drop my boyfriend is standing behind me (how did you get there!?). He asks me what my least favorite memory about us is. Then what my favorite one is. Then he says “well maybe this can be your new favorite.” I’m thinking ok…and I look at him. He is holding a box with a beautiful engagement ring in it. He looks at me and says “Are you ready to begin your life……with me?” I melted!
The ring is a really pretty light blue sapphire. I’m not a diamond kind of girl. Plus sapphire is my birthstone. So right about now I am on cloud LOVE. My boyfriend is my Fiance.

NO....no NO
No Harry Potter last night. UGH. But I did go for a walk with the hon. And I did laundry. NO I didn’t crochet. I should have but I didn’t. Also I had to wash my hair again. I am terrible at the not washing it thing. I sweat far too much. I’m sorry sis.
Work is annoying, boys are retarded, and I had a dream about being I don’t know 200-300lbs. That was a crazy dream. I just woke up and it was like I WOKE up. I was finally seeing myself like the whole time I had been ignoring the fact that I was 200-300lbs and for the 1st time I realized it. So when I woke up in real life I was like….no…no….OK…phew No. I have trust in my sister that she will tell me that my ass is getting too fat. (Also I trust myself to realize when clothes don’t fit and the next size is my age it’s time to lose some weight.) Of course all this might have to do with excising with a skinny person. They can make you feel obese.
So why are boys retarded you might ask. Do you have about 3 years? I kid but for real b/c they tell you to take off Friday and Monday….then they only take off Friday. They don’t tell you until last night at dinner and in fact they don’t even tell you…. It happens to be the dinner conversation.
Tim’s MOM: “so what time will you guys be back?”
Tim: “early Monday.”
Me: (I’m thinking…hmmmm) “so I might be back in time for soccer!”
Tim: “Yeah you’ll be back in time for work.”
Me: “What? I took Monday off.”
Tim/Dan: “You did….why?”
Dan: “Un-take it off.”
Me: “FUCK NO.”
Why the Hell would I un-take a day off. FUCK that plus why the HELL would I go into work after being in a car for 10 hours? Do I look stupid? Yes it’s cussy time. FOR FUCKS SAKE I’m not going to un-take a day off. NO. The End. (boys are stupid and should be stoned or something!) Oh also Tim thinks we can make it to NC in 6 hours with a motorcycle on the back of his truck. IS HE MORE STUPID THEN DAN? The whole thing is beginning to make me NOT want to go. It takes 12 hours to get there if you obey the speed limit. 10 if you speed where you can and there is no traffic. NEVER and I mean NEVER has it taken 6 hours it’s fucking 6 hundred miles of travel. IS he going to go 100 miles the entire time…or even at all NO NO I don’t think so and if he does I PRAY that he gets pulled over or the bike moves and scares him. IDIOTS.
But I am thinking about the pretty beach….the very pretty free beach, with pretty free beach-ness. And yes I mean the beach and not the bead show. Also I better be able to get some yummy food or someone will get stabbed. And I’m not even laughing when I say that. I really hate boys. REALLY.
I better end this before my head implodes.

HA it's another DUMP
So today I actually did my hair. It’s an up do if you will. Anyhow, I prepared myself in the morning for the comments. And come to think of it I chose an interesting day to do this. Tuesdays are my every one in my business days so I should have foreseen this. One guy is telling me I could be his pet parrot if he decides to be a pirate….ass. Another is telling me to lay off the blueberries…double ass. And lord only knows what else I stopped paying attention. Whatever get a life a clue and some style of your own. Then we can talk.
This weekend was fun! I got to ride the lift with no snow in site! The ride down the lift is not something you experience when snowboarding unless your to afraid to go down once you get up there or your injured. Let me tell you the ride down the lift is much more intimidating then just boarding down. At least the 1st time you experience it, which is kind of why I can’t wait to Zip Line!! My friend and I have decided we are defiantly going to do it. It’s just the when. There is a night time one…I think that is the one we are leaning more towards! YES! NIGHT TIME!! I think that would be totally awesome to be zip lining through the woods at night! But it all depends on when they do it and how much.
Also this weekend my lovely sister dyed my hair and I LOVE IT!! I just need to maintain it… so far I have only shampooed it once…with an uber color safe shampoo so it says. It brags about being sulfur free and salt free or something. It was 6.99$ so it better be worth it. LOL and I wore my sweat band during soccer I felt like I should be jamming to some old school hip hop or something but it prevented a lot of color running down my face. So good job Sweat band.
Friday was super fun. I had to get all new breaks and rotors and fluids and such put on my car. I got Moe’s with a coupon and a friend! We saw the movie Funny People. It makes you think Adam Sandler is a jackass. We should have seen 500 days of summer but o’well. We used a coupon for the movie as well. Oh and my friend had good shopping luck! As did I! (I only spent 8$ on two shirts.) We had a good time despite my sick car.
Yes I need to keep working on the blanket. Shut it! LOL and I need to stop ripping lines out and doing them all over again….i can’t help it. (I only ripped the lines out on the bag which is so much better then the blanket b/c there are 171 stitches (is that the right term) per line on the blanket.) yeah I am stuck in an evil place as far as crocheting goes….maybe JUST maybe on this trip to NC I can crochet my heart out b/c I did not plan on visiting anyone. I don’t have a car and my old boss lives and works a million years away from where I am staying so I didn’t want her to feel like she had to visit me. I might still tell her and my one friend….we shall see. Anyways I should get a lot of the blanket done.
What else what else…OH I need to see Harry Potter already!!! I freak’n waited and waited!! And WAITED!! I might just go see it tonight b/c I can’t wait any longer!! I can go to the one theater that is playing it at 8pm. B/c 6:50pm is too soon and 10pm is too late. This has nothing to do with the movies BUT why would a company all the sudden decide to add 2 inches of fabric to the crotch of their panties? You’ve been buying the same ones for like 5 years but this year they decide lets add 2 inches what the hell! UGH! Bastards! Annoying!
Ok I suppose that is all for now. Have a swell day.

Also this weekend my lovely sister dyed my hair and I LOVE IT!! I just need to maintain it… so far I have only shampooed it once…with an uber color safe shampoo so it says. It brags about being sulfur free and salt free or something. It was 6.99$ so it better be worth it. LOL and I wore my sweat band during soccer I felt like I should be jamming to some old school hip hop or something but it prevented a lot of color running down my face. So good job Sweat band.
Friday was super fun. I had to get all new breaks and rotors and fluids and such put on my car. I got Moe’s with a coupon and a friend! We saw the movie Funny People. It makes you think Adam Sandler is a jackass. We should have seen 500 days of summer but o’well. We used a coupon for the movie as well. Oh and my friend had good shopping luck! As did I! (I only spent 8$ on two shirts.) We had a good time despite my sick car.
Yes I need to keep working on the blanket. Shut it! LOL and I need to stop ripping lines out and doing them all over again….i can’t help it. (I only ripped the lines out on the bag which is so much better then the blanket b/c there are 171 stitches (is that the right term) per line on the blanket.) yeah I am stuck in an evil place as far as crocheting goes….maybe JUST maybe on this trip to NC I can crochet my heart out b/c I did not plan on visiting anyone. I don’t have a car and my old boss lives and works a million years away from where I am staying so I didn’t want her to feel like she had to visit me. I might still tell her and my one friend….we shall see. Anyways I should get a lot of the blanket done.
What else what else…OH I need to see Harry Potter already!!! I freak’n waited and waited!! And WAITED!! I might just go see it tonight b/c I can’t wait any longer!! I can go to the one theater that is playing it at 8pm. B/c 6:50pm is too soon and 10pm is too late. This has nothing to do with the movies BUT why would a company all the sudden decide to add 2 inches of fabric to the crotch of their panties? You’ve been buying the same ones for like 5 years but this year they decide lets add 2 inches what the hell! UGH! Bastards! Annoying!
Ok I suppose that is all for now. Have a swell day.

It is FRIDAY. Rejoice
So yesterday i went to NYC. It's crowded, dirty, and full of stuff to waste money on. LOL I was late, got lost, had a pen that would only work 30% of the time, the laptop i had would not connect to the Internet, and i was sweaty. I get to the place and you have to check in at a desk...i am literally sweating my face off. The girl behind the desk is like...."do you want a paper towel?" i was like "sweet Mary and Joesph YES!!" She gives me one....tiny thin paper towel....and then proceeds to take my picture....THANKS. She says "look here..." i was like....huh....snap....OH. Who says NYC isn't full of kind gentle souls....I SAY! LOL
The McDonald's on Broadway kind of cracked me up. It's sign is all flashy like a Broadway sign...but its still McDonald's. Dress it up all you want. I did get a really yummy bagel sandwich for lunch. I saw a Baja Fresh, Chipotle, and something else that i was like YUM....lol but you can get them anywhere so refrain yourself Topaz. I got a pack of gum for $1.75. I learned that there are lots of people that didn't want to move from AK to NYC.
I had a fun instructor who basically made fun of the evil place the entire day. Told us lots of secrets. Broke some rules. Gave lots of information. And was just a nice easy to understand person. Refreshing i tell you. She didn't make us do the cheer THANK GOD! I may have went to the bathroom during that part. OH speaking of bathroom. This one girl thought there was only one stall in the bathroom b/c there is a lady in waiting room before the bathroom. So i went into the bathroom she stayed in the waiting room and i thought....does she think there is only one stall? But then i thought NO she must just need a mirror. So i go about my business and finish...Nope she waited in that room...walked into the bathroom after me and i heard her go "OH DUH!" Poor thing.
I had my lunch with the one lady from the class i was taking. She was super nice and i was glad like her to not have to go to lunch by me onesies. She was telling me to go see Bryant park on my way back to the train station. I think i walked past it but i didn't want to stop and take pictures for fear that someone would know i was a tourist and figure out a way to rob and rape me. Yes this was an actual free. I had too many expensive things with me. all in one bag....i was very afraid. Anyways, she told me how she saw Tim Gunn the other day she works in NYC. actually most the people no wait all the people besides the instructors work and live in NYC so i was the out of town transplant.
There was free hot chocolate and water.....if you could figure out how to use the machine (for the hot coco). I also got a soda for 1.30$ i only took a few sips of it. LOL good job wasting money! My new awesome capris were awesome! They were 7.99$ at Ross! I am awesome. They are awesome. AWESOME! The train was crowded going both too and from NYC. I had to sit next to strange people both ways. I was afraid the whole time that i got on the wrong train both ways. B/c i have an uncanny ability to go the anti-way convincing myself its the right way only to waste time going the wrong way. (if that made sense good for you....you have mastered Topaz) I couldn't look out the window to see where i might be headed b/c it would have made me sick. I brought some crocheting....only to get 3 lines done and not be able to continue b/c i didn't bring scissors......... and is it appropriate to ask a stranger on a train for a sharp object?
Lucky i didn't have much down time other then the train ride. Seriously both times i went to get the train the next train was coming within 5 minutes. It's lucky i figured out where to get a ticket quick. Penn station is confusing. But i made it out alive. And due to my wonderful Brother In Laws advice Hamilton was a super place to catch the train and leave the car. I didn't feel like i would get mugged or raped (where my car was that is....NYC different story).
*SIS YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS*
My aunt decided to take Scardie in after all! My uncle called me Wednesday night to let me know. I WAS SO HAPPY!! I am so relived that i don't have heart burn anymore. that is how stressed out i was about it. I hated to think of such a sweet cat rotting away in a basement...in a pet carrier. So happy for such a cute cat.
**DONE NOW SIS**
Wow this post is getting long. This weekend i will get my car fixed hopefully. hang out with my honey. get my hair dyed. See my mom and sister. and most likely other things in between! FUN TIMES!!

Groupie Whore.
I have had the conversation twice in recent times about what a groupie is. and to me (and sis) a groupie is a whore not a fan of the music. i just thought i would throw that out there.
SIS STOP READING **I am a little (a lot) sad that i couldn't find a better or provide a better home for Scardie. She was a very sweet and loving cat. She was so cute and playful. The whole thing makes me sick because i feel like i gave her hope and then took it all away so fast. I feel like an epic fail of person. I could say go back and never try to take her in be ignorant to her plight....would that make me a better person perhaps. So i am sad today. She cried the entire ride to my aunts. Tugging at every heart string and my very soul. She was just too cute for words. I can't understand how i feel in love with her in one day but i did.**
SIS START READING AGAIN -
I think i am giving my mom a perm tonight...not sure. Hopefully so that way she can be a little happier about her hair. Not right away mind you maybe in like a month LOL. I have another full week ahead. NY on Thursday but don't get to excited it's for work. But everything else for the week is fun stuff. Next week at the end of the week is NC which i can't believe. Time is moving fast too bad my debt isn't LOL.
Last night we totally changed every plan we made. Isn't that the way it goes. We had Laura's instead of Moe's. We went to Lowes in Hatfield instead of in Montgomeryville. The only thing we did that we planned was go to the evil place. I returned most of the stuff i got for Scardie :o( I didn't buy anything fun last night unless you think Clorox wipes in a purple container are fun. BUT i did have some fun after everything.
Tell me to Crochet b/c i need to do that!! I need to finish the blanket and rid myself of it!! Purge my crocheting mind of it!! Plus i want the bride to get it and like it. (well how long is she still a bride after being married? Just asking.)
I need a giant Tea iced is preferred. Also maybe something yummy to eat. Can we make that happen please? Much obliged.

Week end trials and such
So the weekend….where to begin…
Friday was normal enough some good food from Pocos and time with my honey. Then enter Saturday. It started out fine I was cutting veggies for a family picnic later in the evening and getting ready to help my friend move. Moving her stuff was easy and I’m glad I could help. Then time for the family picnic. Well it was a going away party for my cousin. She is moving to FL.
Lots of other family were there. This conversation happened with my cousin and myself (note not the cousin moving away but another cousin):
Him: Lehigh will be a distant memory soon.
Me: Oh really when? And what new job did you get?
Him: The business I left you a message about and you never got back to me.
Me: oh
In my mind how I would have loved the conversation to sound:
Him: Lehigh will be a distant memory soon.
Me: Oh really when? And what new job did you get?
Him: Remember that scam I tried to get you to join well I am dumb enough or too stupid to realize it will never support my family.
Me: awesome I’m glad you realized it on your own so I didn’t have to be the one to tell you. And please quit trying to sell it to our Gram.
Then he said he was never going to be anyone’s Tool! That’s why his scam is so great he won’t be anyone’s Tool ever again. To that I wanted so bad to say “nope you’re already a giant tool all on your own.” But I controlled myself I know powerful stuff.
Other Cousin’s are just having very hard times. I feel bad for my one second cousin he is 21 and out of work. He was working and had enough money to get a nice car and now he may get that taken away if he can’t find another job. It’s sad to be that young and worried about money. Times have changed. I couldn't complain about my job being surrounded by people without one. So all I kept saying was “well I have a job and that’s as good as you can get.”
My Aunt (through marriage) lives on the same property as her parents (the place the picnic was). And the mom had food at her house that we needed to bring to my aunts house. And my cousin’s wife and I went to get it. Only to be yelled at….b/c apparently she is the grumpiest old woman, LOL per my cousin’s wife. She said her and her kids are always afraid to go over their b/c they end up getting yelled at for something.
Which then leads me to where I agree to take my cousin’s one cat, a Cornish Rex. I agreed so my honey could have a cat and be all happy and yellow sunshiny inside. Too bad 3-4 hours after having the cat home she gets stuck in the ceiling. Yes you heard that correct in the ceiling for and hour and half. Well stuck might be the incorrect word b/c she was walking around looking at you. She just didn’t want to come to you and be removed from the ceiling through one of the 3 freshly cut holes.
I should have known the kitty was evil when I had to go to the evil place to buy things for it. It was the only place open in my defense. 1st omen of evil-ness. Also when I went to pick kitty up my uncle was tired and frustrated from the weekend of packing his little girls house up. I also suppose my second cousin was being a little shit. So he freaked out on my second cousin. Yelling meanwhile I am there and I am like….hey hi can you not do this now? I want to go kill myself when people yell in front of me. OY Omens all over but I heed not a one.
So poor kitty is going back from where she came….well back to the house of horror. I gather from the state of the cat when I got her that the place she came from isn’t the best. She was dirty and I think the people keep her in the pet carrier a lot. Poor little thing. She can’t be more then 3 pounds. Yes sister I know you don’t care whatever. LOL.
So there you go my fun weekend. Bye now.
