Life Lately | Spring Storms

Howdy!

I hope everybody is doing well! I’ve been doing okay, been having some aches lately, but I’ve been dealing with them. I think ever since I decided to do these music posts on Tuesday and Thursdays, I feel like my normal lifestyle posts have been lacking a bit. I’ll be honest. I still haven’t been able to go out in our backyard and take pictures yet. On our second day of spring, it was very pretty! The temperature was in the upper 50s or 60s, but the ground was still too soft from the rain we had a couple of days before. It didn’t stop me from going outside though! My mom had to work that weekend, she came home, ate and took a nap, and after she got up she realized it was too beautiful for me to be inside so she surprised me by dragging my wheelchair into my room and having me go out. It felt good to be on the porch with the kitties again, but I really wanted to explore! I hadn’t even been outside for more than five minutes and that urge to take pictures of EVERYTHING in sight was back. I’m not going to lie I missed that in the winter months! I’ll be able to go back there soon, I know it!

Last Thursday, my poor sister got her wisdom teeth out. Poor girl! She stayed at home all weekend long, not being able to eat solids until late Sunday. I was supposed to go to the dentist on Tuesday afternoon, but thankfully it rained all day long so we had to cancel. I was torn with my emotions because you all know how much I hate the damn place, but two of my family members had to get their teeth done without cancellation. After Blondie got hers done, my mom came in with lunch and a very funny video of my sister after the operation with a drowsy girl in the car on the way home. She was so freaking hilarious! Anyways, I also knew a head of time that it was only a cleaning, but I still didn’t want to go! That night we got our first round of spring storms. It thundered off and on after 3pm. I literally had a conversation with my aunt on Facebook that afternoon, she said she wanted to see some storms where they were at, I also wanted to text her that night and say, “we got your storms!” I was happy that our satellite didn’t kick off in the middle of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. or I would have been pissed!

I’ve been trying to find more and more films to watch lately. I’m almost done with The Book Thief and I literally just finished watching the last Disney Princess movie that I had left on my list, The Princess and The Frog. I wish I could say I liked it, but it wasn’t one of my favorites unfortunately! I do love Anika Noni Rose a lot. Anika was in a movie that I found playing on HBO that made me so happy! I found Dreamgirls and I had to tape it! It’s seriously one of my favorite movies and I’ve been known to listen to the soundtrack every once in a while! Another movie that I just love to kick back and watch is Center Stage. It was the first movie with Zoe Saldana! I did some digging to see how many movies I’ve seen with her in it, because she’s one of my favorite actresses! I’ve seen a total of seven films! I found out two weeks ago that one of my favorite shows came back on, last season they were on Wednesday nights, now they’re on Sundays at 8pm I think. I love, love, love TLC’s Who Do You Think You Are? so much! It’s right up my alley talking about family history.

To end this post I’m including some pictures of a few of our fur babies.

This wasn’t easy to get, Grumpy is NOT the photogenic type at all!

Bootsie.

The fluffball himself!
