My new love in life....

October 21, 2010

Thanks to my wonderful friend Sarah Rose, I have found something new that I love. Due to Sarah and her boyfriend moving she had to lighten her load of things. She gave me a ton of beautiful plants. I've always believed that I would kill every plant that came my way because of childhood memories of killing a fern. But after educating myself on houseplant care and my wonderful boyfriend buying me a book on how to care for plants. I have actually nursed some of them back from looking pretty bad. Here are some pictures.









The wandering jew I received fron Nate's Aunt.
They are all very easy to take care of and I have alot of joy in taking care of them.

Long time, no post...

October 19, 2010

Well, it has been way to long since my last post.  I have been very busy, Morghana has been quit a handful the past couple of months. Some new behavioral issues, temper tantrums and anger problems.
   I believe some of it has to do with Nate going back to work and his work schedule being kinda off. He goes back and forth from days to nights. When he works nights we hardly see him, which is really hard for Morghana. If anyone has any advice on how to deal with anger and hitting that would be awesome!

Hi there everyone, just thought I would say a few words today. As you can see I got a new kitty for my birthday. She is absolutly adorable. I got her off craigs list, when I picked her up she was obviously very sick. She had fleas. worms and scabs from scratching so much. So Nate, Morghana and I went to petco and got some things for her.

I gave her a bath a little after we got home with her, to try and ease the irritation of the fleas. Then the next day my mom brought over some dewormer. Then she hide for a day, we have had her since April,8th and she has adjusted great. She plays with Morghana, sleeps either on Nate and I's bed or under it. She is a great kitten, she is only 3 1/2 months old. I am very happy that I got her out of the house she was living in, the people that I got her from didn't know how to take care of a kitten.
She is a lover of a cat. And I have a wonderful boyfriend for giving me this awesome birthday gift.

Remodeling my blog, and more....

March 21, 2010

Well if anyone has noticed I am remodeling my blog, trying out different templates and such. I am not HTML or XML savvy, so I think this will be a learning experience.  If anyone has any kind of advice that would be awesome! I think I need to take some computer classes. Because I am going to need it, all these codes and stuff are confusing.

Tiny Morghana....

March 9, 2010

Hi everyone, it has been along time since I wrote anything on here. My mom sent me some pictures of Morghana when she was a month old and it was her first swim. I am SO glad she had them because I lost all of them on my old computer, I was so upset because I never put them on a disc. Anyways, things here are okay. Nate lost his job, so he is looking for work. It's hard though no one is really hiring, the unemployment rate here in Oregon is something like 10.7 percent.

V-day surprise.........

Happy Valentines Day!
Mine came early, Nate and Morghana went to the store last night and came back with 3 cards, teddy bear and my fav flower stargazer lillies. I put up pictures of the cards and the flowers but not the teddy bear. Morghana picked out the dog card all by herself, it says "Ruff "on the front and then the inside sais "thats how it would be without a mommy like you."
