  1. Kitten Dreams

    December 6, 2011 by JillyBean

    Last night I was feeling a bit stressed out from work so I decided to snuggled Pothole for a little bit, because, as the saying goes:

     

     

     

     

    She was on my bed so I laid next to her, and the heated pad was on so I dozed off for a little bit.

    And I swear, as my head laid next to hers, I DREAMED HER DREAMS!

    At this point you may think I am crazy but here is what I dreamed:

    • that I was biting people with wild abandon (not mauling them, just biting as kitties do…)
    • these water glitter bouncy balls were bouncing all over and I was having a blast playing with them
    • Someone was in the kitchen pouring bags of goldfish (like you get from the petstore) on the ground.

    Now you tell me those aren’t fantastical kitty dreams!!  Regardless of their source, I did feel 100 times better when I woke back up :)

    Pothole is a cat that is made to be hugged - she is just built for squeezing!

  2. Off The Grid

    April 28, 2011 by JillyBean

    Where I will be staying

    In about 36 hours from this post, I am heading off for a week long sailing trip in the Bahamas.  It is sponsored by the American Sailing Association (ASA) and hosted by Out-Island Explorers.

    Here is what the brochure says:

    “Spend 6 days/5 nights on the water exploring the Exuma Cays with fellow ASA Members. Earn certification in ASA’s 110 course while sailing your own 21′ Sea Pearl. Enjoy exploring caves and grottoes, stargazing, bonfires, great food and all the while improving your sailing techniques”

    Which sounds great, right?  Then I got more information about the trip and read this:

    Once you leave your hotel in George Town, you won’t see a bathroom, shower, or air conditioning until your night in Staniel Cay at the end of the week.

    Suddenly I am not as excited to take this trip :)

    Honestly though I am not too concerned about “roughing it”.  I have camped before, I know my way around a fire, and I have seen the cats use the litter box enough that I am pretty sure I know how to poop in the sand.  What I am most concerned about is being “off the grid”

    Usually when I go on vacation I have a laptop, cell phone and access to internet. I can instantly find out what’s going on half-way around the world no matter what beach I am sitting on or check my email regardless of the timezone.

    I won’t have that opportunity on this trip and even if I did I don’t know how good the reception will be in such a remote location.  I will not even be bringing my laptop. I haven’t been able to give up my cell phone and although I am going to try and keep it off I did borrow a radio from my sister that allows me to charge it via a handcrank.

    What am I scared of? I’m not sure really. Maybe being out of touch? I think this is even harder since its not only no internet access but I will also be without my friends and family so I’m feeling like I’ll be completely alone. 

    So depending on how strong my will power is and how bad the reception is, you may or may not hear from me for the next week.  And if I don’t go native, I will definitely post pictures once I am back to civilization!

    The type of boat I will be in - 21' Sea Pearl

  3. Easter Haiku….in Honor of Chicks, and Ducks, and Bunnies

    April 3, 2011 by JillyBean

    Chicks, Ducks, and Bunnies

    One look makes my mouth pucker

    My face is sweating

    Some like the blue ones
    Others like purple the best
    No one likes the pink

    Don’t inhale, just chew
    The dust will get in your lungs
    WHAT DID I JUST SAY?!?

    Until I get sores
    I will keep eating Chicks
    Ducks and Bunnies too

    Sugar high today
    Eating candy makes me laugh
    The ducks talk to me
