I can't believe I couldn't figure this out....

Ok so yesterday my cat started acting weird. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with her; she was meowing loudly like she wanted something but her food, water, and litter box were fine. She also started acting way more affectionate then usual and more like a drunk cat. I thought she would be fine the next day but she continued to act the same way. I decided to go onto yahoo and ask a question about what could be wrong with her. The replies that I got were that I wasn't giving her enough attention. To me the answers didn't seem right, she had been getting more attention since i've been on vacation. I ended up doing some research online and found out that she was in heat. I feel stupid for not thinking about that, my mom even mentioned she might be in heat, but I thought she was too young.

So today she's been trying to get out of the house. She had about 5 successful attempts. She had realized she could get out using the dog door. So my dad had to completely block and cover up the area near the dog door. It was interesting watching my dad use whatever he could to completely cover up the area, while my cat searched everywhere for a way to get through it. So now my parents have decided to schedule an appointment to get her spayed.

Poor Lydia, having her area covered up.

Happy 2010 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi I hope everyone had a great Christmas, and btw HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!!

First I wanna say thanks mom for wrapping up so many gifts!!!!

On Christmas Eve my family went to my mom's parent's house to celebrate.

Jo was the Santa this year so he passed out all the gifts.

Grandpa got the biggest gift- a massager- I'm so jealous, lol.

Here's picks from Christmas day. On Christmas Eve everyone on my dad's side of the family spends the night at my grandparents house- which is why everyone is in their pj's.

Alot of people got towels this year.

Alright now this is the after Christmas stuff.

Coco had some fun being outside.- she doesn't get to go out often because she usually freaks out, climbs up something, and then my family has to get a ladder and bring her back down.

O.k. this made me kinda mad. -So I wanted to spend some extra money and get better toothpaste. Well I made two big mistakes

1. I didn't research online- If I did I would've seen the hundreds of complaints about this toothpaste- Most people complained the skin on the inside of their cheeks was coming off and their teeth were showing dark charcoal colored lines. -yuck

2. I didn't read the back of the box

Drug Facts-
-Products containing stannous flouride may produce surface staining of the teeth.

-Adequate toothbrushing may prevent these stains which are not harmful or permanent and may be removed by your dentist.-apparently people had to pay alot of money for that.

-This Crest is specially formulated to help prevent staining. - sorry but it suprised me that it says this and above this it mentions how it could cause staining.

Luckily I haven't had any of these problems ....for now... however for those who didn't have any of the above reactions the toothpaste actually worked out great for them - but i'm still kinda mad at myself for not doing research on this product.- I bought a two pack for about $7 and now i'm probably gonna go back to the store and buy a new toothpaste.

Oh I almost forgot to mention, after finding out about the toothpaste I decided to talk to my dentist about it, since I had an appointment that week,- she kept saying that if I had a problem with the taste then I should buy another toothpaste-um lady I never mentioned anything about the taste, I have no problem with the taste, it's skin coming off part and the charcoal colored teeth that i'm worried about!!!!

Anywayz on a more positive note, I had a great New Years Eve. I spent the afternoon with my boyfriend and his parents, we watched a movie, then some stuff on t.v. while waiting for the ball to drop in New York. After the ball dropped my boyfriend got out some sparkling cider, we said cheers to eachother, and then when his dad left the room we had our first kiss of the year. I loved it. :)

Oh I almost forgot, during this winter vacation I went to the movies a couple of times.

I saw Sherlock Holmes with my boyfriend. Then I watched Avatar with my dad and brother and then I watched it again with my mom. -both movies are great.

Well that's pretty much it, school starts in two days and my 1st anniversary with my boyfriend is next saturday, i'm so excited. bye :)

It's ALMOST CHRISTMAS !!!!!!!!!! XD

I'm so excited that it's almost Christmas, but first i'm gonna put up some stuff from Thanksgiving.

These are some of my cousins.

During the Thanksgiving break my family and I went through a ton of ads to find good sales; this was part of my pile.

My cousins playing a game, they wanted to see who could keep their hand in the freezing water the longest.

My brother and my cousins all playing on Mario Kart Wii.

The beautifully set table.

I was on my way to the restroom and then I noticed Cocoa was cleaning herself in the sink. She's such a funny kitty. lol

In a couple of days .....or weeks, lol I should have some Christmas photos up.

Anyways...

Oh I almost forgot......

I almost forgot to mention during the end of July-I think, or maybe it was at the start of August, my family took in a little kitten and named her Cocoa. She's grown really big, in only a few months. She's quite a character.

Anywayz here are some pics, the first two are halloween pics XD She looks so cute!!!! lol

Oh and I forgot to mention I put GIMP on my computer during the summer. GIMP is like photoshop but not as good. It's really fun to use but i'm still a beginner at using it. Here's an example of a picture of Cocoa I edited, she looks so evil. XP
