Death Row

Some of you might know of the infamous family cat: Eddie. Honestly, it's hard to miss him. All 25 pounds or so of him. Well, those were the good days. Now a days he's looking more like something that's been living on the streets. But he's still Eddie, our family cat. I think he's hitting the 14 year mark this February. I can still remember the day he was born and everyone, but Emily, thought he was the ugliest of the litter. Lucky for him, that meant he was the only one left and Muffins (his mother with constant PMS) got the ol' boot. And he's had his share of enemies over the years: particularily any one of my friends that would show up in black clothing. Out came the roller, time and time again.

It seems as though Eddie has reached the end of the line. Over the past couple months it's been the topic of discussion every time I go home. What do we do with Eddie? You can only let an animal suffer for so long before you can't stand it anymore. Little did I know that this past Sunday would be the very last time I saw Eddie. My sadness might come as a surprise to most as I never displayed much outward affection towards our rather large cat. But I'm also a tree... rooted, and not easily moved when it comes to change. So, yes, I will be very upset when I return home to a catless house. It's all I've known for the past 14 yrs of my life. Can you blame me?

And I will miss Eddie, because whether I want to admit it or not.... I loved that cat and I can't believe that he won't be coming back...

Cough-e and T!

Coffee... I have given up on it. BUT. I've discovered a new love for tea over the past couple months (due to some outside influences). It's great. If I need to pass on coffee, tea will just as willingly fill the spot. This brand happens to be Fair Trade and Organic.... doesn't get much better!

If you Read this blog...

If you read this blog, I must first say that I am quite amazed.... You may be a little confused as to this new "layout". I decided to dedicate this blog to Leah, she has been my faithful blog reader for some time now.... and is probably the only one who would really miss this mindless part of her day. I give you, Dear Leah.

Cauliflower

I hear they've been sticking cauliflower in every dish here at Haworth.
It's a conspiracy.
Well seeing as the definition of conspiricy is a plot to overthrow a government or other power, maybe not. But STILL.

I object.

I object to anything with cauliflower. It's the veggie with an identity crisis. Or as Mark Twain said, "nothing but cabbage with a college education."

Another Year Over

A new one just begun... John Lennon pretty much wraps that one up. For some reason, even though my status as a student has long expired, I still think of the year as starting in September. But if I start to think about the last year... all the way back to January, I find it rather amusing to think of all that has occured. This year has definately had it's share of downers. The amusing part to me is how devestating they were at the time to me, and now those events seem like bad dreams. I must say that the last "quater" of the year was very enjoyable and I am hoping that continues into 2008. Must have something to do with being able to take a week off from work to hang out with my family over Christmas. They definately have blessed my life, and I can't imagine life with out them! What stands out best in my mind from this past year is how God has so richly blessed me with amazing friendships. I thought I'd share some of them with you!
