I have been so tired and uninspired. I love making AMVs (Anime Music Videos) but I just can't seem to find a song that inspires me. I've found a lot of really great songs that I love recently, but none that match any of the Anime that I own.
Life hasn't been too terribly exciting. I started and ended a job rather quickly. I'll post about that later this week. I'll also tell you why I fail at complicated cookies.
I did discover that Santa is on a diet!!! He must have finally realized cookies aren't good for you. Especially in the quantity he's been eating them in. No, actually I'm guessing the mall just couldn't find any one fat enough that wanted to do it this year. *shrug* He is super skinny though. It's kinda funny watching him walk around on his breaks because the suit is so big on him! He comes into my bookstore a lot. Too bad I didn't get a picture for you. Sorry. :/
But if you're interested... here is one of my AMVs. It's just a 30 second clip from a collaboration I did with some people.

Halloween and Mini Mouse
It's October, so I thought I would make a little Halloween post. I love all the costumes, but I really hate the candy part. It's not so great for weight loss. Mostly, though I hate giving out the candy. Some children are just so rude and greedy, especially the older ones who don't have supervision. One year, I saw a 14 year old boy knock over a 3 year old girl just to get to the door. He didn't even say sorry. I just think parents need to teach their children to be a little more polite, even if they are high on sugar.
Our plan this year is not to pass out candy. We're going to a haunted house with my co-workers and then possibly to Deadwood. Deadwood has some big celebration called "Deadweird." It should be fun.
I do have to mention, the last haunted house we went to, there was a little kid in front of us. He must have been about 5 or 6, he was scared and his reaction was to yell at anyone who jumped out at him. "I'm gonna give you a lobotomy!" It was cute. I don't even think he knew what it meant, but it kinda fit. I mean, any other time... if you came across someone standing in a dark corner waiting to scare people you'd think they have some kind of mental disorder.
Here are a few pictures of my husband who loves Halloween.

He loves Scorpions because he and his dad are both Scorpios.
This is from last Halloween. He tried to look fake and in the dark it worked on some people. He scared poor little children. Yes, that's a real pumpkin on his head.
He was pretending to be Jack Sparrow. Jack Sparrow = 
Haha and this one is my favorite! We found some really cool masquerade masks and then there was this Mini Mouse mask and he just had to try it on! Of course, I took a picture to share with you!

Chili Peppers are hot
My husband so brilliantly decided to eat a red chili pepper despite the fact that he HATES anything spicy. So as he stood in the kitchen eating this pepper, I just watched him.
And waited.
After a few seconds, the spice hit his tongue and he spit the pepper in the trash. He then decided to down half our milk, and still complained about his mouth being on fire.
All I could manage was "What did you think was gonna happen?" before falling over laughing.

“Maybe you’re pregnant”
Everyone around me seems to be pregnant or new parents. I kind of feel left out. :( No, I don't want a baby right now. I'm just saying...
Why do so many women get pregnant in their early 20's? It drives me nuts. I know it's prime baby-making age. I understand not wanting to be 60 when your children graduate, but come on! Getting married does not mean you need to have a baby right away. Being recently married, I feel like it is almost expected of me! I was complaining about feeling sick yesterday at work, and my co-worker immediately says "Maybe you're pregnant." Really? That's the only solution you can come up with? And that's not the first time someone has suggested that. I am not pregnant!
For the record, we do not plan on having a baby until our late 20's if at all. We are perfectly content with just the two of us. I mean, we're still trying to decide what we want to be when we grow up. We're just starting to figure out how to save money! We can't afford a baby. Baby things are expensive. I've been staring at my aunt's baby registry for a few days now just trying to decide what I want to get her! I want something useful, but also something that will last more than a few months. I'm becoming more and more practical every day. I used to love baby clothes. I still think they are cute, but $15 is nuts for something he/she MIGHT wear once and not even for a full day depending on how messy and how fast the baby grows.
Steven and I are perfectly happy just being us. While he drives me nuts and I sometimes want to divorce him (just kidding, by the way), I love coming home and just being able to cuddle in front of the tv. I don't have to worry about anything or anyone else. I think more couples should wait a few years before popping out babies, especially those living together for the first time after the wedding. You learn so much about the other person once you live together. You need to learn to co-habitate before adding the stress of a newborn and different parenting styles.
Of course, some people know when they are ready to be parents, but the ones who think they need to rush into having a baby, or think a baby will make everything perfect are the ones that need to take a step back. Look at the big picture. When you're ready, you're ready. Don't force it. Having a baby won't fix anything.

Meet Jasmine
This is "my" kitty. Her name is Jasmine and she's about 2 years old. We found her at the pound and they guessed she was almost 1 when they took her off the cold streets in the middle of winter.
She lives with my mother-in-law currently, but she is secretly mine. One of these days I will kidnap her and not tell anyone. Her disappearance will be such a mystery! Although, revealing my plan may not work out since my mother-in-law will be reading this...
When we first got her, Steve and I were living with his parents because we had just moved into town and needed a place to stay. When we got her, she was very sick. She wouldn't eat or drink anything. My in-laws were going out of town, so my husband and I took care of her. We had to mix wet food with water and then force her to swallow it with an eye dropper. I think her illness was made worse because the pound did surgery on her to fix her (a requirement for all that are adopted) even though she was so sick. Since we were force feeding her, she started to regain her strength and started eating/drinking on her own and she has been healthy ever since.
Her neck is shaved because she also got a microchip.
I absolutely adore her. She is cute and crazy. She has a very unique personality and I wouldn't trade her for anything! Sometimes, when she looks at you she is slightly cross-eyed and it makes me laugh every time.
Unless there is food in front of her, she comes every time I call her.
She’s very playful. She'll play with just about anything. A ball, a laser, string, squeaky mouse toys, a peanut that fell on the kitchen floor, a box... anything.
She eats bugs if she notices them and I hate bugs. So that's perfect! Protein is good for her.
She’s a clepto. She steals things off the end table and you never see them again. Things like bottle caps. God forbid you leave jewelry lying around. We have no idea what she does with them... I'm sure she has a secret stash somewhere full of all kinds of things.
She sleeps in the strangest positions.
She'll sleep on anything... even shoes!
She’s very loving. If I'm holding her close to my face and just giving her attention, she licks my cheeks. She loves me and I love her.
Everything is exciting to her. Boxes, shelves, laundry baskets... if she can climb in it or on it, she is a happy kitty.
She loves being in my lap. She's an attention-hog and gets mad when I ignore her for too long.
Like I said, she's cute and crazy, but I absolutely adore her!
