Lunch & More Kitties

Saturday, December 6, 2008

I've never really had pets before. Growing up, we had a cat for a short time but my dad made us get rid of it (he wasn't fond of cats). Then we got three dogs, Nelson, Winnie & Abby, but they are outside hunting dogs (and SMELLY). I never fancied myself an animal lover.

Until now. :-)

Our groceries are pretty low right now, but we're trying to use up as much as we've got. I decided on some Garden Broccoli soup. It tasted like cream of broccoli soup, but it's much better for you!! The entire box (which makes a HUGE bowl) is only approx. 160 calories but packs a whole 6 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber! Love it.


On the side I had a piece of whole grain bread, toasted and spread with Brummel & Brown. I also had some small pieces of venison summer sausage. (That's deer meat, for all you southerners.)

Kris and I went to church at 4. I must admit though, the entire time we were there I sat imagining my wedding. The church is so beautiful, I can't wait to get married there!

I will leave you with a video of the kitties playing in our guest room (which they have completely taken over as their domain!). Have a great night guys!

I'm baaaaack!

I took a little vacation guys. With the end of the semester closing in (I graduate next Saturday!!!), job searching, Thanksgiving, working, babysitting.... I needed one less thing to do for a week!

But now I'm back and ready to blog! And I have some very exciting news.

WE HAVE KITTIES!!!!!

Kris and I adopted two adorable little orange kitties, which we named Cheeto (male) and Pippi (female). They are brother and sister and were rescued October 9, 2008 in Blue Earth, MN. Each of them weighed 2 7/8 pounds and were estimated to be six weeks old. They were very sick for a while and spent 3 days in the pet hospital. They both rebounded wonderfully, right around Thanksgiving time. They are now healthy, loving and active kittens!

And we love them. They are so much fun to watch, Kris and I barely pay attention to the television anymore!

This morning I had a delicious breakfast: an Egg Beater omelet with pepper turkey, broccoli and asiago & mozzarella cheese.

I had a cup of Starbucks brand Christmas coffee with it.

Today my plan is to hang out with my kitties, watch a Christmas movie, go to church, and be sober driver for Kris and his friends. Tomorrow I babysit my boys all day, it should be fun! I love being with kids around Christmas time, they make it so much more fun!

I'm going to leave you with a few pics of Thanksgiving eats. My mom's pumpkin cranberry stuffing, fresh baked rolls and pumpkin pie. YUM.

I hope everyone is having a good Saturday!
