Buy Me Flowers...

So, Valentine's Day is approaching. I've never had a Valentine, but I've always kind of wanted to experience the whole romantic effort. I've only ever gotten valentines day flowers from my dad. And that was when I was around ten years-old. It'd be kind of nice to get one of those big colorful bouquets delivered to me in public...like in a cheesy made-for-TV movie.

Gosh, I love flowers. They're so delicate and colorful. I love that we can order flowers online now. And there are so many varieties. I really like the artsy flower gifts like the single orchid in a bead-filled vase or something like that. I'm so new-agey, I know. I also love the huge variety bouquets with three or four different kinds of flowers, all different colored. The colors of nature are gorgeous, aren't they? And the smells...and the velvety softness of flower petals....OK, I'm rambling now.

Anyway, maybe I should just get myself flowers for Valentine's Day! Oh! And one of those cardboard hearts with glitter and glue! And a box of chocolates!

OK, I'm done now

Picking Up Again

Hello dear readers! I realized today that it's been a little while since I last posted, my apologies. I went through a low point in my struggle with depression this month, so I needed to take some time to take care of that. I'm feeling good again, and I'm ready to blog! Tonight I'd like to update you, actually do another "Meet the Pets" about Mia, the cat I adopted last year after losing three dear pets in four months.



So, here it is:



Meet Mia: The Skittish Sweetheart



Adopted: May, 2006



Nicknames: Baby (pronounced like "beebee" in a high-pitched voice), Princess Mia, Baby Mia, Tufty Toes



Quirks: True to one of her nicknames, Mia has long white tufts of fur between the pads of her feet. They actually hinder her coordination a bit, but the fact that she has wide feet to boot contributes to that as well. She loves the other animals in the house, especially Pepsi. Her favorite toy is a little stuffed cow in a football uniform that was Mel's before she died. I think she likes the scent that Mel left behind on it. Mia LOVES to cuddle, but won't let us pick her up. She just goes into panic mode because she never had human love and attention in her years as a farm cat before she was taken in by a shelter. She has a squeaky baby meow that is almost irresistable when she's begging for more food. And she's COMPLETELY irresistable when she's asking for love.



Why We Love Her: Mia was near feral when we adopted her last May. She has made tons of progress since then and has proven that she can be the sweetheart I always knew she was. She makes a great addition to our house full of little pets, she's beautiful, loving, and deserving of the love we shower her with. Did I mention she's beautiful? And sweet? Ok, just making sure.
