Lethargic or in love?

My cat has diabetes and I started giving him injections on Monday. He was acting like he felt well but kind of silly and overly loving. I called the vet and asked what signs I should be looking for in the cat as to show a bad reaction or low glucose.

Vet said "is the cat acting lethargic?"

I said "well, he's laying around, drools on me, and wants to fall all over me"

Vet said "well you better bring him in... sounds bad"

I laughed and said "but he always acts this way"

.

Vet said "he must just be in love"

So it got me to thinking. Being in love is a lot like being lethargic (Lacking mental and physical alertness and activity, sluggish, out of it). It is amazing that when you are "in love" sometimes you do not react to things the way normally would. I step back and look over past relationships and think "what was I thinking?". Too bad for me that I can't blame it on a drug induced lethargic state. I have no excuse other than i was "blinded by love".

But is that possible - to be blinded by love? Do we let people walk all over us when we are "in love"? And is it really love if we are willing to let that person walk on us?

just cause it's funny

Always a bridesmaid ...never a bride......really????

I have been a bridesmaid in over 15 weddings. I generally brag about it because it is nice to look back and think that all of those girls wanted me by their side on the big day. But now .... here in my thirties and STILL single.... I look back and wonder if it will ever be me. YES - I shout at the top of my lungs - I WANT TO BE MARRIED ONE DAY. I really wish I had a crystal ball that I could look into just to get an idea of what the future holds.....

so my reason for this post was to put up some fun pics. Cause I love pictures. Here are a few from my the last wedding!!! and then a few from some that I found from past ones!

Jennie & Cole ..... LOVED IT!!




Here are a few from past weddings .... Terri & Gregg

erin & todd (bf!!)

EEM's thought for the day ....

'To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.'

When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better.

'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.'

I feel like this is something I need to read a couple times throughout most days. It is amazing how instead of focusing on the next amazing thing that might happen in my future, I focus on the pain of whatever has been taken away. I waste so much time thinking about the past, my mistakes, others who did me wrong, and why I am where I think I need to be in life. I know i should be grateful to wake up each morning, happy that i am healthy, overjoyed that I have a great family and friends, and all in all just thankful that my life is pretty good.

God does not punish by taking away things ..... he does free you up for the nest thing in your life. I am reading "Loving Yourself" right now and am amazed at how the writer seems to put things into words that MOVE me so much. ok, well that's my post for today. Just something i wanted to jot down.

about me .... (only because a few of you asked)

My favorite things ....and some stuff about me.
I have lived in Charlotte almost my entire life. South Charlotte to be precise. Love it here and only once considered moving away.... but the Queen City kept me here. I have loved watching it change and grow.

I am the middle of 3 girls .... all two years apart and if not born sisters, we would have been friends. I am also the middle of a total of 7 children brought together through a marriage that only God could have planned for. I love my Step father and the way he loves my mother. He can be a pain sometimes though just like any good dad.

I have two little critters at home that are my babies!!

Pee Pee (aka: doodie or master P) and LuLu (aka: Squirrely or TaTa). My older sweet cat - Tigger - passed away last year from cancer and poor Master P just needed a new buddy, so that's how we found LuLu.

I love my job, work for non-profit..... that's all I am really gonna say as I would HATE to lose my job over blogging. I work with some amazing people. I get many opportunities to spend time with people in the community that i would not if it were not for the company. I am glad I can pray, listen to Christian music, and if needed..... cry at my desk and not worry about getting fired!!

I am dating someone whom will remain nameless on here for now. But he is wonderful!

I am so lucky to have a massive amount of friends (most who do not even know I have this blog.... because they love to massacre my myspace & facebook pages). I love to hang out, grill out, chill out, go out, do just about anything this group can come up with. My weekends consist of mostly time with the beau and either night’s downtown in Charlotte somewhere or at a friend’s house playing cornhole, card games, or G Hero!

I love coffee.....love to walk to get coffee. I will walk anywhere if I have a buddy. I love within walking distance of two coffee shops and the best cheese burger place ever!! I love to wear baseball caps too.... a week doesn't go by without me wearing one!!

Last but not least....my faith is what makes me who I am. I am not a bible beater, but a reader. I do believe that everyone has a purpose and it is HIS purpose. I have many friends from many religions and I never pass up a chance to learn about what others think. I wake up every morning thanking God for everything in my life!! well..... that's about it for now.

Break it down ....

So my nice long weekend consisted of rock band, adult beverages, football games, and break dancing! Yes, I said it - BREAK DANCING !!! We partied Friday night at Marshall's for Reza's brithday. Saturday we watched football at Ed's Tavern (while watching Mel drown her phone in mustard). Sunday night was a break dancing competion at Breakfast Club. How amazed I was at how much FUN that was. To be in a place with such a wide range of people... no fighting.... no one being rude.... it was amazing. Here are a few pictures and I will be adding more as I get them. Only have a few of the actual competition. Why can't we all just break dance??? ha

just for fun... random pictures

my best friend's babies!!!
