the litttle things...

I've decided that it's the little things in life that matter. I LOVE those moments that put a smile on your face when you're all alone....

*Thinking of your loved one & suddenly realizing just how much you truly love them. =)
*Driving in the car & seeing 2 cows just totally going at it! =)
*Having your cat look at you with just the tip of their tongue slightly sticking out of their mouth. =)
*Stepping on the scale, in the morning, and having it be less than you were the day before. =)
*Pulling into a crowded parking lot & still finding a spot up front. =)
*Watching tv & that e-trade commercial with the talking baby comes on. =)
*Seeing a bunny run across the road safely. (Any animal will do, but every time I see a bunny I always exclaim, "BUNNY!"--in a high pitched kid-like voice) =)
*Going to do a house chore & then realizing it's already been done! (this always get more than 1 smile from me.) =)
*Getting into bed & seeing the man of your dreams AND reality snuggling soundly with one of your kitties like a child with a teddy bear. =)

I recommend we all slow down our lives just a hair to be able to recognize & cherish the things that put a smile on your face when you're all alone. Cause in my book, those are the things that truly make you happy. All too often we smile for others...try smiling for yourself once in a while. =)

Lack of offspring obviously make me an inferior human...

So...yeah. This is one thing that just erks me beyond belief!! I understand I don't have children at the moment...I'm not an idiot. So why would you bring this up as a point of inferiority, which would directly translate into me needing to work the crappy shift or day since once again..."you don't have kids." I sincerely understand that family is important & I want my own more than anything in this world, but guess what!?!? My Huzzyban & 2 adorable kitties are my current family and I  refuse to think of them as less valuable or meaningful to my life as "your" children are to yours. All of those out there with kids...I really don't want you to take offense to this. I know my cats are not children & I don't actually think of them that way. I also know you work hard (whether at home or work & home). I've babysat my fair share of kids in my day & I know it exhausting & that although it is difficult, the reward is priceless, but for those of us that do not have kids (whether by choice or the lack of being able to) why should we always get the short end of the stick? My hard-working Huzzyban works 50 hours a week & takes 2 classes at night toward his degree. I admit I don't do much, but work 40 hours (currently) & keep down the fort. I am alone ALL the time! I too want to spend time with my loved ones! Again, I'm not trying to degrade the family unit in anyway! I just want those with kids to think, just for a moment, before assuming those without kids have no life & so it doesn't "matter" what happens to them. Because, I assure you that even though we most likely don't have the same problems...I still have problems in my life. We all might just need to be a tad more considerate toward one another...the world would be a much happier place.

whelp...

I've caved. Like so many others in this world I have finally caved into starting a blog. I have no idea why since I've got nothin' going on in my life, but we're gonna get creative & see what comes out of me. Feel free to leave comments or suggestions. Also feel free to not read my posts if you are in any way offended or annoyed with the things I say. I've decided I'm not writing for others...I'm writing for me. Probably going to just make this a short one since again...I have no idea what I'm doing & it is getting semi-late.
