A CATastrophe!

Well, things have become a bit troublesome all of a sudden regarding our trip to Japan.We're having a hard time trying to figure out what to do with our cats, since apparently, our original plan that we had to transport them there would cost us way more than we can afford (we didn't receive any info on prices when we originally set up this plan, so we thought everything would be reasonable and easy to take care of). Now, we're only left with these options:

A) Try to change our leave date to the 21st of this month so they can actually board the same flight as us, which we're not exactly sure how well that would go... We might only have a slim chance of that happening. Plus, the movers are here right now and packing away all of our furniture at this very moment, so we'd have absolutely nothing aside from our laptops and clothes that we packed into our luggage bags on hand, and I'm so not thrilled about that idea.

B) Find someone to take care of them until we can fly them over to us.....

or

C) Give them up, which we definitely don't want to do.


So yeah... Things are pretty stressful for us at the moment, especially when we're supposed to be leaving in two days. This popped up so last minute, and we've been rushing around trying to seek help from our friends and family members to see what they suggest. So far, option B is our best bet, it's just a matter of finding someone fast... :/ Let's hope all goes well.

Meet Our New Guinea Pig!

Today my husband and I went to Pet Co to buy a new collar for Blair, since she destroyed her old one. We landed up getting distracted by the guinea pigs there, and we spotted this cutie! <3 As soon as I saw him, I thought he'd look really cute with our guinea pig Cocoa, whose sweetheart, Chip, had passed away a month ago, and we just had to have him. His name is Marshmellow (Mello for short)! I'm so glad that he and Cocoa seem to be getting along well. ^.^ I felt so sorry for her because she just seemed so lonely to me. I thought she would be happy to have some company again. ^_^ 

We hope that Marshmellow will be happy living here with us and will get along with all the other piggies, too! We already love him very much! <3 

Dogs and "Dogs"

While I was walking to the store, I saw this really adorable golden retriever being walked with it's owner. ^.^ All of a sudden, he was running toward me, pulling the poor woman who was walking him along with him (I hope her arm isn't injured!). It was so cute though, because as soon as he made it to me, he was wagging his tail and very affectionate. x3 He was so sweet! The owner then said that she was sorry for him bothering me and that he had never had run up randomly to a stranger like that before, but of course I wasn't bothered at all! In fact, it kind of made my day. It's impossible to not be happy after an encounter like that, or at least that's how I feel. xD

However, as I continued on my way, I encountered "dogs". I'm not talking about the nice, furry kind this time around, I'm talking about the ones that are actually... men. I don't hate guys or anything like that, but I hate the guys that try to act cool with their friends while they're inside their car and stick their heads out of their windows and shout things at innocent women that are walking down the street going about their own business. Seriously, what do those guys gain from yelling out "HOT!!!" or "WOOO!" at us women? Do they earn cool points for doing stuff like that? Do they think that they're giving us a compliment or something...? If so, then I think they need to change their methods because I certainly don't appreciate it or find it to be flattering. In fact, I find it to be quite the opposite. Frankly, I don't care if anyone thinks I'm hot or not (aside from my husband. His opinion is the only one that matters to me). I didn't step outside of my house for their approval of my appearance. -_-; Though, I guess that sort of thing is harmless at the very least. No real damage is being done. It's just annoying at the very worst.

I think the reason why it bothers me so much though is because I honestly don't really like drawing attention to myself in public, good or bad. Most of the time, I like to think that I'm invisible. I know I'm not, but that's what I like to think. Whenever I happen to get attention, I immediately start getting really shy and embarrassed because I feel like my cover has been blown, and I feel the urge to run away and hide. v_v;  I've been like that since middle school due to constant bullying. I handle it a lot better than I used to, though. I'm actually able to look people in the eyes now and say "thank you" when people give me a compliment. I used to flat out deny them. :P

I have no idea how I went from talking about dogs, to guys, to being bullied in middle school. I'm sorry for jumping from topic to topic! ^^; I am a bit random like this, so it's kind of a normal thing for me. haha!

Weekend Date~!

The weather out here this weekend was so gorgeous, and I've been enjoying every moment of it! It's usually so cold where we live, so warm days are somewhat of a rarity, and so I thought it would be the perfect for my husband and I to take a trip to the beach! Needless to say, so many other people had the same idea, and it took us awhile to find a parking spot, but in the end, it was all worth it!

Just look at that view! It was so pretty, I practically begged my husband to snap a picture of it just so I could post it here! Lols! I really enjoyed my time there. The whole time we were there, I was busy splashing around in the water (which was pretty cold, but I was able to adjust to the temperature quickly) and  running around having fun like a kid! It was a refreshing change of pace when most of the time I'm just at home cleaning and doing chores. Also, so many dogs ran up to me while I was there. xD It seems like no matter where I go, dogs just make a beeline for me. I really have no idea why, but I really love it! Every time it happens, it just makes me want pet dogs even more!

After the beach, we headed to Taco Bell for some Doritos Locos tacos (which are SO amazing!). We were starving, and it hit the spot just right. ^.^ Then after we finished our meal, I spotted a crepe place called the Monterey Crepe Company, which was right next to Taco Bell. It's funny, the whole time we've lived here and despite how many times we've been down that very street, I've never once noticed it before until then. We decided to take a look inside and it was kind of small, with not very many tables or people inside, but their menu was huge and had quite a selection of sweet and savory crepes(they also had muffins, cookies, sandwiches, coffee, and other beverages for sale). Given my huge sweet tooth, I of course chose something off the "sweet" menu.  I chose one called "Papa Johnny", which contained Nutella, bananas, coconut, and almonds and was topped off with whipped cream and confectioners sugar. I wasn't too sure how those ingredients would taste blended together at first, but once I had my first bite, I definitely did not regret my decision!

Doesn't it look delicious? Looking at it makes me want another one~! Too bad I have to be good until next weekend! Lols!

It really is a shame that the weekend is now coming to an end. It just seems like it passed by so quickly, but I suppose that's what happens when you're having fun with the one you love. :3

Kitties :3

So, while my husband was cleaning out the guinea pig cage, Blair (named after the cat in Soul Eater xD) decided to crawl inside the top part of the cage. The upper half of the cage is detachable, and my  husband has to remove it in order to clean out the old guinea pig bedding and replace it with a fresh layer, and he usually sets it aside on the floor with the latch undone, making it easy for Blair to access. 

She would probably stay in there all day happily, if we'd only let her. She has a thing for hiding in boxes and such. :P

And then, there's our other kitty, Sundae, who really loves to climb on my hubby's shoulders......

We've got cute little weirdos. x3 Lols!
