Skinny Mini

I wanted to post this picture of myself that was taken on Saturday, May 23rd at my sister's house. I'm standing in one of the pant legs of the jeans I used to wear. I have lost 150 pounds and only have 20 more to go!! I have always wanted to do this.

Pandora's Easter egg hunt

Easter morning I hid 6 plastic eggs with cat treats inside and Pandora has found all but two of them. When she finds an egg she taps it and when that happens the egg opens and the treats go flying. Needless to say it's a nice surprise for her. I have yet to take pictures of this event because I never know when she's going to find an egg. I was going to go around the house with her and help her find them but of course this has not worked out that way. Nothing ever does when you plan anything that involves a feline. That's one of the joys of being owned by one. ;-)
Anyway, it's finally raining!! YEA!!!!! We have needed rain for months now and we're finally getting it in droves. It has stopped for now but no doubt it'll start up again. Thank you Lord for the water!

Happy Easter

I hope everyone is having a great week. Easter is around the corner and I'm getting ready for it. Sunday I'm going to have an Easter egg hunt for my Pandora. I'm going to hide cat treats in plastic eggs around the house and then we're going to go on a hunt. I'll take pictures and upload them for your enjoyment.
Not much else going on. It's hot here right now. I think of my distant family members up north and what they're going through right now with snowstorms, ice and freezing temperatures and it makes me thankful for living so far south.
Happy Easter!

Thyroid

Recently I have been diagnosed with a cyst on my right thyroid. This is going to result in a surgery to remove the affected side. I am in the process of raising money to pay for a third of it for without that the surgery cannot be scheduled. I am very lucky to have the support system that is around me. This past weekend the ladies at the local Methodist church organized a rummage/bake sale and this raised quite a bit of money. Without their help I would not have been so successful in raising money. Believe me when I say that rummage sales are huge undertakings and utilizing effective organizational skills is the key to its success. Not only did they organize it but they also donated many items to be sold in the sale. I am going to have another rummage/bake sale next month. I'm rummage sale savvy now!! I also have the prayers of my parish priest that is being offered daily for my healing. All this coupled with my families' prayers and support has put me in good hands. Please keep me in your prayers.

Pandora's birthday

On Tuesday, March 10th, is Pandora's 2nd birthday. Please send her warm birthday wishes on that day.

Pandora

On Saturday, February 7th my sister adopted a cat for me from the Dorothy O'Connor Pet Adoption Center in Victoria, Texas. She is a sweet little thing. She is a slightly older cat although she's very small so no one wanted to adopt her. I'm glad they didn't because she is the best cat alive! Her name was Andora but I put a P in from and made it Pandora. My sister took a picture of her on Sunday. She is very photogenic. I'm so happy she is my cat. Julius likes her a lot too. Who wouldn't like her? She is so sweet!!

Winter X Games

Who is watching the Winter X games? I have been and the competition is pretty stiff. I didn't know that snowmobiling is a sport but there it's been on every night. I enjoy the Winter trials and by what I've been seeing it'll be interesting to see who goes to the Winter Olympics next year. Tune in.
