Bored......again.....

So i'm just bored at home and still sick. Yesterday my dad called and said the cat was getting spayed and he made appointment for the next day- today. Poor kitty she was so exhausted.... but still she had enough energy to cause trouble. It took my dog 2 days after being spayed to walk again and coco managed to walk in just a few hours. She even jumped on the washer! So to make sure she didn't jump again I decided to constantly check on her. Well one time when I left her in the laundry room I heard her meowing so I decided to check on her and she walked right out of the laundry room. I couldn't pick her up because she was hurt so I asked my brother if he could watch her while I do some internet research to see if I could give her anything to help her sleep. After about 5 minutes my brother yells to me that the cat was trying to climb up the stairs. I try to put her in a cat carrier but she wouldn't go in. Towards the top of the stairs she tried to jump off and I had to try to grab her before she fell. Luckily now she's a bit more secured and hopefully won't cause much trouble.

So bored....

So i'm home sick and I have nothing to do and really nothing interesting to write about so i'm just going to write some new things that happened recently.

Sometime between January 6-14- Ok so the printers in my house are terrible- we have four and none of them work properly-the one that works the best is terrible to- it's like moody or something. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't- for no apparent reason. I'll try to print something at 6pm and it takes untill 10 or 11 pm for it to either finally print or I give up and get it printed out at school or the library. Well now those days are over, I couldn't take it anymore so I bought myself a printer and now it takes like 20 seconds to print- im so happy 20 seconds compared to 5 hours is a big difference and helps out alot. It's so awesome!!!

January 16- Me and my boyfriend's first anniversary, I drove me and my boyfriend to another city -big step for me-I absolutely hate driving- I got to use a Garmin GPS I got for Christmas-it's awesome-I'd probably be lost all the time if I didn't have it. lol

January 23-24: I've been using the same shampoo and conditioner for like 3 years but the closest store-like 15 miles away-that sells them has stopped selling them for a little over a year so I had to go to even further away cities just to get them. Well now I think i've found a replacement for them. I went to the walmart website and found a shampoo and conditioner that looked pretty good, I did a little research and found some good complements on it and it's 3 times cheaper then my original shampoo and conditioner. So I got it and so far it works just as well as my original shampoo and conditioner. I think for now this is a good replacement.

January 26-I filled out an application to join the California Scholarship Federation, it'll be nice to be back into that, I stopped for two semesters because I was really busy but now I have time to join.

January 26- California Scholarship Federation requires 3 hours of community service and my Civics class requires 5 hours so i'm going to help out at the church again to get some hours done- I'm glad, I use to help in the church classrooms and now I can do that again.

January 27- Today is the first day the weather has cleared up- for the past two weeks it's been raining a ton, there was even hail and thunder- which was so cool.
...apparently though the rain has brough in a bunch of ants.

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 :)
