Logan VS the Fan

Okay, in my apartment I have NO air conditioning, and one little fan in the bedroom. So Logan is very interested in this fan, I think the fan must have offended him in some way because he keeps trying to defeat it. No this fan is all that stands between me and overheating....so I am very protective of this fan. I had to time out Logan like 8 times last night, and every time the time out was over he immediately comes running back into the room and jumps on top of the fan and knocks it over. I am gonna hold peace talks to see if I can stop the fan violence so we can live in a slightly cooler environment.

meet Remy and Logan

Remy's a pretty laid back cat, doesn't get into too much trouble....well in comparison to his brother. He is not the most graceful cat, he falls over all of the time, once he fell in the toilet. He is also much more vocal than his brother.
Logan, he is a climber, i like call him my parrot cat because he insists on sitting on my shoulder or being draped around my neck when ever he can. To get to my shoulder he climbs up my side which let me tell you....hurts. He also has crazy nails that i have the hardest time cutting.

Anyways they are my babies but they drive me crazy at two in the morning. They like to wrestle on me while i am sleeping.

The pickled cucumber

A pickled cucumber, most often simply called a pickle in the United States and Canada, is a cucumber that has been pickled in a brine, vinegar, or other solutions and left to ferment for a period of time.
There are many different types of pickles:
- Gherkin
- Kosher dill
- Polish
- Lime
- Bread and butter
- Swedish and Danish
- Kool-Aid Pickles (a.k.a. "Koolickles")

My favourite way to eat pickles is to take a bite of a pickle and then cram plain chips into your mouth at the same time and then let the pickles and chips co-mingle in your mouth...it is awesome.

Nutrition
Like pickled vegetables such as sauerkraut and dilly beans, sour pickled cucumbers (technically a fruit) are low in calories. They also contain a moderate amount of vitamin K, specifically in the form of K1. One sour pickled cucumber "spear" offers 12-16 µg, or approximately 15-20%, of the Recommended Daily Allowance of vitamin K. It also offers about 4 calories, all of which come from carbohydrate. However, most sour pickled cucumbers are also high in sodium; one spear can contain 350-500 mg, or 15-20% of the recommended daily American limit of 2400 mg.
Sweet pickled cucumbers, including bread-and-butter pickles, are higher in calories due to their sugar content; one large gherkin may contain 25-40 calories. However, sweet pickled cucumbers also tend to contain significantly less sodium than sour pickles.

I hope you enjoyed learning about pickles as much as i have.

Did you miss me?

So, I am sure by now everyone has given up on my blog and stopped reading it. But oh well. I have lots of new stuff to write about. I have moved out in February and I am living on my own for the first time in my life....it's awesome and I love it. I have also adopted two baby kittens, Logan and Remy. The main thing that is affecting my new exciting independent life....MONEY. I have never really had to manage my own expenses before and it is hard. Now instead of buying anything I want....I must budget. Years of making fun of steph for being 'frugal' and I have now become her. That is a scary thought.

i guess

I guess you forgot our lunch......
I chose not to remind you.
I guess you betrayed my confidence.....
I chose to trust you.
Would you remember if i asked you?
Did you change when i wasn't looking?
I guess we are drifting apart.....
I am choosing to let you.

Lacking

Hello world.....i know you are wondering what happened to me, its been quite awhile. Well i just wanted to let you know, I'm not dead...BUT i am lacking inspiration.
Its been a rough couple of weeks and i have had a pretty big disappointment. So i am sort of in hermit mode. Just licking my wounds and regrouping.

'You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." . . . You must do the thing you think you cannot do.'
- Eleanor Roosevelt

One of my Favourite Songs

Skin - by Alexz Johnson(from instant star)
I drift away to a place
Another kind of life
Take away the pain
I create my paradise
Everything I've held
Has hit the wall
What used to be yours
Isn't yours at all
Falling apart, and all that I'm asking
Is it a crime, am I overreacting
Oh, he's under my skin
Just give me something to get rid of him
I've got a reason now to bury this alive
Another little white lie
So what you had didn't fit
Among the pretty things
Never fear, never fear
I now know where you've been
Braids have been un-tied
As ribbons fall away
Leave the consequence
But my tears you'll taste
Falling apart and all that I question
Is this a dream or is this my lesson
Oh, he's under my skin
Just give me something to get rid of him
I've got a reason now to bury this alive
Another little white lie
I don't believe I'll be alright
I don't believe I'll be OK
I don't believe how you've thrown me away
I do believe you didn't try
I do blame you for every lie
When I look in your eyes, I don't see mine
Oh, he's under my skin
Just give me something to get rid of him
I've got a reason now to bury this alive
Another little white lie
Oh my permission to sin
You might have started my reckoning
I've got a reason now to bury him alive
Another little white lie

I love this song, it has so much emotion. I want to learn how to play it on the guitar...but it is really hard..well hard for me. but practice makes perfect.
