When I saw this collection come up on my Facebook feed, I was so excited! I’ve had Care Bears in my life for as long as I can remember. My childhood “blankie” is a Grumpy Bear quilt. I have a storage container with a bunch of my original Care Bear toys. Here is the link to the website: https://www.nativewarpaints.com/
So, I am trying out the bluetooth keyboard on my new tablet! I still don’t have a new computer but hopefully I can make up my mind about what I want soon. I thought I could post a couple recent manicures that I did.
My latest project has been matching my nail polish to the eye shadow shades in the Jeffree Star “Blood Lust” palette. I can post that later once I finish. In the meantime, here are what I have loaded onto the tablet so far.
It’s been a long time since I posted anything about my cat crew. Having four cats has been challenging at times. But, it’s been a challenge I’m OK with. Let’s start with Lucy.
This furry lady is now three years old and has an attitde all her own. Unfortunately, the relationship between her and Sophie has not been all good. There seems to be some territory issues between the two. This has resulted in Sophie sometimes living up in my office. But, we will get to that more later. Lucy is a Class-A CHONK. She’s is weighing in at 17 pounds! She does eat the Metabolic diet prescribed by our veterinarian. It’s pretty hard to get her to play. On a good day, I can get her to play with the feather teaser for a few minutes. She will chase the laser pointer as well but not for long. Getting Lucy to shed some pounds is likely going to get tougher as she gets older. Right now, she has youth on her side. Her favorite thing to do is sit on the kitchen floor and look out the sliding door for birds, squirrels, and rabbits.
So, here is Sophie. All comfy and happy in her room. Currently, she is not spending all of her time in the office. As long as she continues to do her business in the litter box, I am OK with that. I got her a new water fountain. For some reason, the drink well mini had a leak. I couldn’t figure out where though. It wasn’t near the motor or where the water was being circulated. It only happened when it was turned on. I just said “fuck it” and got a new one. The upside is this kind doesn’t have that annoying humming noise. (see photo) She is often on the receiving end of aggression from Lucy or Izzy. She will often run away from them and find me. The cat version of “MOM! They’re picking on me!” She always remains a prim and proper princess!
Now, this guy! He is a hoot. Rigby is three years old and has the playful spirit of a kitten. The world is his toy and he is here to play with it. He isn’t food driven like most cats and it has been a different experience. He knows I keep the laser pointer in my nightstand drawer. He often runs ahead of me when I go my bedroom and plops down right next to it. He loves that laser pointer! I try and remember to spend at least a few minutes before bed playing with him. He can be a pest in just the same way dogs can be when not exercised enough. He chews on the corners of the nightstand and dresser. He knocks everything off aka “testing gravity”. Rigby tries to lay on my pillow with me. I wouldn’t mind it if he would just stop licking and eating my hair. No one likes to pull hair out of a cat’s ass so I discourage that part. He’s a big fan of the feather teaser toy. Under the right conditions, I can get him running around at a good pace. But, he tends to not pay attention to where he is going and runs into things. He still is not a fan of strangers. I recently found out that 3/4 cats are not fans of fireworks either. (Thanks, corona!)
And finally we have Izzy. The old man of the house. He’s likely close to or past 16 years of age. He does have one health issue to speak of but there isn’t an official diagnoses as to what it is exactly. It’s all poop related so I will spare you the details. He shows no signs of arthritis or diabetes which is great. He does still pick fights with the other cats. Especially Sophie. Sophie is always getting beat up by one of the other three. Izzy has no problem holding his own. He is a big fan of my latest adventures in cooking. I went low-carb at the beginning of the year which meant I was making a lot of chicken dishes. He sits on the kitchen floor behind me and meows just waiting for me to toss him a nibble. He is the one that was not bothered by the fireworks going off right behind my condo. I, personally, was not a fan. He still does his usual daily activities like begging for wet food and laying on me while in bed.
So, that’s what I have for now. The cats and I will see you again soon!
The cats and I have fallen down the rabbit hole that is TikTok. The app mostly has teens and young adults doing dances and stuff but us “old folks” are slowly showing up. Just like most of my other socials, I am @jillyj98 there.
When I first saw swatches of this collection, I knew I had to have it! I love a good glitter crelly mix! These were the perfect mixes for Spring/Summer 2019. Although I am not very familiar with the My Little Pony series, I still love the names and color combinations this collection provides. As of this post, the collection is still listed here.
I haven’t posted anything in a while, huh? Yeah, I suck at this. I’ve always liked the idea of having a blog and posting about stuff I like. Stuff that matters to me. I have been doing my nails and taking photos. I’m just so bad at staying motivated. I have a hard time even keeping a hobby. I have such a non-addictive personality that I can’t even keep up with the things I ACTUALLY LIKE DOING. What a terrible way to live life!
Right now, I am in the market for a new computer. The laptop I use for this and everything else in my personal life is quite old. I am due for an upgrade.
I plan on posting soon about the cat situation. It’s been over a year since I took in Lucy and Rigby. It’s been quite the adventure! Honestly, work is good. My health is manageable. There’s not a lot of excitement around here. I just need to get my thoughts together and I will post again soon.
ta ta.
I have some photos of the Zoya “Jubilee” collection today. I’d like to note that I am messing around with the photography portion. Lighting, editing, etc. So I apologize if it looks wonky. I will mention that the descriptions are also from the Zoya website. They can certainly do a better job at describing it than I can. I didn’t pick up Leigh or Cookie in this collection. Either I missed them or decided against it. Leigh is a very nude shade and Cookie is a purple pixie dust. I may still pick that one up. I haven’t decided. 🙂
Zoya in Maxine can best be described as a full-coverage a rich red cream with an evenly balance undertone – bright, yet still appropriate for the season
These are most of the products I bought during the latest Sephora sale. The one product not pictured is a gift for my sister, Nikki, for Christmas. I hope to post some reviews of these products soon!
After spending all weekend battling fatigue, I finally got outside! I went to Battelle Darby Metro Park here in Galloway, Ohio. I saw the bison there for the first time and I took some shots. These are all with my phone so the quality isn’t the greatest. I also got a little bit of the fall foliage situation going on too.
