Man, here I thought when I got a normal 9-5 job I would have more time to focus on blogging, essential oils, adventures.. everything! It’s almost the opposite. I don’t even know where I left you all off for me to begin, so I’ll just bounce around.
I celebrated a birthday last week, Happy Birthday to me. It was a rainy weekend, so we didn’t do a whole lot, but it was kinda nice to just chill out and catch up on some sleep. I have been running lately to get ready for a 5k in August. It’s a Run Now, Wine Later 5k where they literally give you a bottle of wine afterwards. To say I’m excited is a little underkill.
Remember the 3 kittens and mama cat that we were taking care of in the barn/shed behind our house? Well, mama got fixed and adopted and we caught the 3 kittens and they’re living in our back sun room temporarily. We have Blackie, Taz and Junior. 2 females and 1 male. Blackie is all kitten and you would never know she lived outside for the beginning of her life. She purrs, meows, comes right up to you and loves to play play play! Junior is getting there.. he was very very afraid at first and now has started to relax. I think he realizes we are trying to help, not hurt. He now will let me pet him without tensing up and is playing with toys more. Taz.. Taz is my little work in progress. She is absolutely terrified, of everything. She is so tiny, but she is eating.. she hides in the smallest places and only comes out to see her siblings when no one is in the room. When you do get a change to catch her, she will let you hold her, but she is just so afraid. Poor thing.
I redid a coffee table, or I suppose it could be an end table too. It was a 10cent table I bought at a yard sale last year, belike it or not. Real red mahogany and sturdy! But, it needed more. So, I sanded the entire table down by hand then painted the legs and sides a cream color and stained the top a dark walnut.. It looks bomb now! So good in fact that my boyfriend wants me to redo our coffee table to match! (we’ll see, need to invest in an electric sander).
Lets see.. what else, what else. I am getting ready to write a blog for my work. The theme is summer activities, tips or adventures. What’s your thoughts!?? I would love to hear from you all about ideas for what to write about. I think I know, but I’m not 100% positive.
I’ll be sure to post the blog here, and tag whoever inspires me! 🙂
