BBQ's and Abortions

Two days ago I arrived home after work and found three of my neighbors cats in my driveway. I love cats so my first reaction was excitement. That all quickly faded as I noticed the reason they were gathered there. They were feasting on something small and furry. I walked towards them to make sure it wasn't on of the adorable little red birds that house themselves in one of our pine trees and realized it was some kind of rodent... I couldn't make out what it was because what was left of it was its two legs, a tail and a FETUS!!

no kidding.

It is by far one of THE grossest things I've ever seen (And I was in the delivery room when my best friend had her baby). It was laying off to the side and all pink and wiggly struggling for survival although it was covered in ants. Even though it was a fetus it was ALIVE and trying it's hardest to survive. I bet your now wondering what I did next... I ran gagging trying not to throw up like any normal human being would... I'm getting nauseous just thinking about it again.

I think it was God's way of teaching me a lesson. Just the day before I had had a discussion with my gal pal about Abortions, she was pro-life i was pro-choice. We agreed to disagree.

I think the cats just changed my mind.

Pessimisim at its best

So last weekend I went to a "Trade Days" event with my mother. It's similar to a flea market/fair/festival/EVENT that a small nearby town hosts twice a year.

We walked into an Art booth and we both gawked at a beautiful large painting of a cowboy riding a horse down a hill holding flowers on one hand and a red box in the other hand.

My mother immediately said, "Aww would you look at the poor guy, how sad, he's taking flowers to his beloveds grave."

With my jaw to the floor (in shock) I turned around and said " MOM!! hes OBVIOUSLY taking flowers and a box of chocolates to his girlfriend. Why would a dead person need chocolates?"

We left the Booth laughing.

She finally admitted to what my sisters and I have been bugging her about for years.
She is the eternal pessimist. Her cup will always be half empty, and the flowers will be for a grave.

EYES, JESUS, and 22s.

I don't have anything particular in mind I just felt like blogging... so I'll tell you about my day i guess..

I've spent the whole afternoon with my eyes dilated thus leading to not operating heavy machinery... so my mothers been driving me around. I went to Hobby Lobby and Michael's today - i looove Christmas. Its my absolute favorite time of year, it's actually the only time of year i really go all out. I love decorating the whole house and this year I'm going to deck out my dads shop as well. :) theres just something about the lights and cold weather and everyone seems to be in a good mood around Christmas time because its all about family and Jesus... that's what it should always be like.

Speaking of Jesus, i have shooting class tomorrow morning. Yes, i have to get up early on a SATURDAY.. yet again... I can' t remember the last time I slept in... I really do need to take a break. So I'm using a 22 tomorrow and God please don't let me shoot an eye out!
