Pretty Magnificent Trio of Fluffballs

The other night my brother , Michael, my sister, Callie, and my mom went on a walk with our dogs. They were gone quite a bit longer than usual and it was quite some time before I saw any of them. When I finally did see one of them it was Callie and she had rushed into the house in a frantic manner asking for a flash light. I grabbed it for her and we hopped into the car to a nearby forest/creek/overpass (whatever you'd like to call it hah). She explained that she had heard quite a few meows and that when they went over to investigate, they found some abandoned kittens. There was a box nearby so I'm assuming that's where they were dropped. We're not sure if there were more that just ran off or some that didn't make it but who really knows? Except the people that did it I guess.

So we tried for about an hour to try to lure them to us with no prevail.

The only thing I had to show for it was scratches up and down my legs and ant bites. Ehh.

The next morning when everybody left the house my mom went back down to the creek/foresty overpass and got all of them to come to her.

Pretty amazing thing she did eh?

So now they're living upstairs until we find them a home or until somebody admits that we might actually keep them. But that will mean we'll whole lot of kitties, multiple dogs, and a poop load of fish. Yes I did just say 'poop load'. hehehe. That's quite a lot to take care of.

So without further adieu... MORE KITTY PHOTOS!

Aren't they unfathomably CUTE!??!?

I hope you just nodded your head, 'cause I totally just did.

Oh yeah that just happened. hehe.

Rain, Rain, Stay Today

It's raining it's pouring...the old man is snoring.

No really my dad's upstairs taking a nap.

Heeeheeee.

Just kidding- he's not old, he's really quite chipper.

I love the rain! It reminds me of where I used to live in Germany.

Has anyone ever been to Kaiserslautern?

Or Stuttgart?

Man I miss it sometimes... but when it rains it takes me back.

You know one day I will return and maybe it'll be completely different

abandoned of the people I used to know; all moved on.

But maybe it'll still hold some of the magic it used to?

The magic I loved so much.

All in a Day's Work

Bonjour!

It's been quite a week... I've been pretty busy almost everyday at work

trying to master face painting. I have so much more respect for people

who paint faces or anything else really. My swirls still suck but I will eventually figure them out! haha.

{I'm thinking I should buy TOMS when my first paycheck comes in what do you think?}

OH YEAH! One realllllllly cool thing that happened to me at work was

a man that could only speak French wanted a face painting

for his daughter! And guess who speaks French!?

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Yeah, you guessed it: me.

I had actually just finished explaining to some girls

that kept telling me that I should have taken Spanish

because we live near Mexico and San Antonio is highly populated with Spanish speaking people;

I just told them that French always felt right to me.

And then voila! He appears with his daughter and totally proved my point.

It was such a good feeling,

I haven't been able to speak French with someone like that in like 3 years. :)

And guess what!? I got a Blog Award from Trishie!

Thank you so much for this wonderful award!

Giving it to me was so very sweet of you... :')

I'll be passing this along to:

My Baloney, Bianca, My Name is Yeh, The Magical Bean, Jessica, Simply Carolina

As of right now I'm going to go finish Ever After and then

listen to some Glee tunes...

PS: Do you like the way my blog looks now?

The background color reminded me of mint chocolate chip ice cream.

The Night Life

As many of you probably know,

(because you read my sister's rad post)

I went to see Camera Obscura last night!!

I know you're jealous...it's okay it'll pass.

hahaha.

At the door the man asked if I was 21 years old?

No.

So what do you they do?

Stamp an extremely inky X all over both of my hands.

Here's a photo for proof:

Here's what the place looked like...

I had a lot of fun with my sisters and friend...

I'm really likin' Austin.

I want to go back and watch another concert at Emo's. :)

And then today I was inducted into the

National French Honor Society!

WOOOOOOOO!!

This is what I wore...

Yes the X's were still visible even after excessive scrubbing. hehe.

I can't believe my amazing mother surprised me by taking

me shopping this morning for that dress.

I like it a lot.

For desert after the ceremony I had some

yummy strawberry pound cake...uhm, uhm, goood...

What'd you do this weekend?

Do tell.
