30 Day Meme - One Last Moment
This is it! My last entry for the 30 Day Mem. I almost managed to do it for 30 days straight, but that’s ok! So, one last moment. The day we closed on our house was a great moment! Nothing makes you feel more proud and grown up like buying a house. And it’s something me and Rob did! Happy moments are so awesome when you share it with someone you love so much. Go team!

Is it really the World’s Best Cat Litter?
Over the weekend I saw a commercial that claimed they had the world’s best cat litter. This litter is SO great that they took the name World’s Best Cat Litter. Of course being a sucker, I sought out this magical bag to see if it indeed lives up to its name. Also, this product is SO sure of itself, that they offer a rebate/free bag. Score!
A little back ground, I’ve been using Feline Pine clumping for a couple years now. Faith is very kind in not being litter picky and lets me use something that’s not made out of nasty nasty clay. Or maybe she’s like me and cares about herself and the planet.
World’s Best Cat Litter is made out of corn (like everything else in the world), so it is safer for the planet. You can also flush it, but I’m not sure if I’ll be doing that. They also claim it clumps better and traps the smell. Price is around $10, which is about average. I pay little less for Feline Pine.
I let you all know how it works out!
30 Day Meme - Your Aspirations
Right now my biggest aspiration is to take better care of my body. I want to exercising to be a normal thing for me. I want to run, do yoga, walk the dogs, strength train. I also want to eat better. I mostly eat healthy now, but I want to eat more variety of fruits and veggies. I want to cook better things. I want to consume less sugar and alcohol. Eat more organic products, grow my own stuff. I’m 30 and wanting to have a baby, so my body’s going to need a lot of work to stay healthy. And if I establish better habits now, I’ll be better in the long run. Day 30 – One last moment

Weekend at the Beach!
We had a great time at the beach this weekend! It was a short trip, but I’m so grateful for being able to go in the first place.
We got up very early Saturday morning and drove through the middle of North Carolina. I’ve forgotten how open and undeveloped is it out there. Lots of trees and farm land, I love it! We passed by many fruit stands selling peaches, but we were on a mission. I did try for the first time boiled peanuts that I got a a gas station. It was kind of gross, but I learned today that they need to be warm and not from a gas station, hee hee. I love driving in the car with Rob. We always have a lot of fun: )
We finally got to the apartment around noon. Oh how wonderful it was to be back at the beach! There was a fig tree in the parking lot and I picked a few. Figs are one of my favorite fruits and I couldn’t help myself. The apartment was as lovely as I remembered it with its big open windows that showed a gorgeous view. We discovered a telescope and some binoculars there and had fun looking at the huge military ship off on the horizon. It had helicopters and planes taking off. I love seeing military stuff!
Then we finally went swimming! The water was so warm and nice. The waves were just perfect. It felt so good to be there and have fun and laugh. And yes, I was wearing my bikini. I felt so proud of myself for getting the courage to wear it. I hope that next summer I will want to wear it again.
Then we spent the rest of the night eating pizza, drinking too much beer and watching cable. We watched The Fifth Element and I fell in love with that movie all over again. I went to bed early while Rob stayed up and got a chance to see the moon through the telescope. He took some pictures for me which was sweet.
The next morning I got up way too early. I watched more cable and worked on a puzzle. I watched some It’s Me or the Dog, a travel show about Japan, and my favorite The Dog Whisperer. After Rob got up we decided to swim just one more time. Yeah, didn’t work out so well, the waves were very rough and knocked me down a couple times. I skinned my knee and lost my sunglasses. We expected some trouble with the waters since Hurricane Daniel was around. At that point I was anxious to get home and made it back in time for some dinner with the in-laws. Of course we had to stop and get some peaches: )
30 Day Meme - Something That You Miss
I really miss hanging out with my brother Robert and my sister-in-law Prudence. Back when I was in college, I had a little apartment that was right down the street from them. A couple nights a week we’d all have dinner together watching Survivor and Gilmore Girls. We went to art galleries and other cool places in Phoenix. When I started dating Rob, he became part of our group. We all went camping, more art events and spent a couple of holidays since all of our other family was out of state. They also have the coolest 1927 house and a couple of awesome dogs. We always had so much in common. Much of the stuff I like to do came from doing it with them like going to beer festivals and supporting the local art scene. Rob and I often talk about how much we miss hanging out with them. Hee hee, in fact I think I’m going to call him right now^_^ *that picture was taken one night when we were all hanging out. Day 29 – Your aspirations Day 30 – One last moment

30 Day Meme - Your Favorite Place
We are going on a mini holiday this weekend to Top Sail Beach, North Carolina.
I love the beach! I grew up going to the beach in California, swimming in the Adriatic Sea in Croatia, even relaxing on the cool beaches in Vancouver Canada. I am a Cancer and water is my element and I truly feel in my element at the beach.
I can’t wait to swim this weekend, take a long walk along the sand, relax and watch some cable tv. Also, I’ll be taking a break from the internet too. No laptop and my iPhone will play music and take pictures.
Oh yeah! I’ll be wearing a bikini this weekend for the first time since I was around 12 years old. My body may not be perfect or fit, it’s quite poochy from all the weight I lost, but I’m tired of being so self conscious and so I’m just going to go for it and wear a bikini! It’s kind of silly, but I’m excited about it and I should be proud of my body and it’s flaws.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone! See you on Monday where I’ll wrap up the last 3 days of the Mem: )

30 Day Meme - Your Fears
I’m a very anxious person. I have anxiety attacks all the time, so I tend to have a lot of fears. I’m afraid of earthquakes, and even though I live so far away from them, I still get jumpy when I hear and feel a loud rattling sound. I’m afraid of heights and the unknown. And even though I do it almost every day, I am afraid of driving and have pulled over a couple times because I’ll have a panic attack.

30 Day Meme - A First
On September 25th, I will be running my first 5k race! I will be running in the Hit the Brixx race here in downtown Charlotte. Rob and my boss will be running as well, but they’ll be doing the 10k.
I’m so nervous and excited! It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a while now (and it’s on my list) It’s shouldn’t be too hard for me and I’m currently on my third week of the C25K training.

30 Day Meme - Something That Makes You Cry
Seeing animals on tv being helpless and getting abused or neglected or hurt makes me cry.
I watched an old episode on Bones on dog fighting and at the end Bones said that dogs only see the good in humans and it’s the owner that makes it the way it is. It’s just so true. Pets are supposed to be a part of the family, a part of your life. Pets are not some toy, accessory or object.
