Small town life

 Sometimes living in a small town can be a royal pain in the ass. Apparently people can call the house and wake me up to ask me questions. Come to the door and interupt my day, but not speak to me in public. Because I'm an outsider and it might offend someone else. Bull shit. Lady, the next time you knock on the door be prepared to just keep walking/knocking because there's no law that says I have to answer the door or the phone. Funny thing is-your ass is probably in church congratulating yourself on what a christian you are.

Taking care of the "Bucket List"

It's no secret that seeing the Grand Canyon WAS on my bucket list-and now that I've seen it-I think everyone should brave the desert and see it at least once. The beauty is just undescribable. Pictures(and we have hundreds) don't do it justice. It's so beautiful it will bring tears to your eyes-and the words "American the Beautiful" pop into your head. A thousand different colors at once. You could look for hours and never see the same thing twice-and those hundreds of pictures bring it all back.

The Kittens

Can you guess how many kittens Vixie gave birth too?  When I got past kitten number six I started getting anxious. Seven was a loud little one, and I  was really relieved when eight was the last one. Then I started to get a little worried-how many can she feed at once?  So then I called my cat loving friend-Julie. I was very surprised to learn that she didn't automatically know how many nipples a cat had, but she googled it for me. A female cat has eight nipples. We're good. Eight nipples for eight kittens.Then she informs me that a male cat only has six nipples. Wtf. I've been looking in the wrong spot. The apparti(notice plural for a reason) that I was looking for is hard to find until the kitten reaches about six months.By then they've passed the cute,adoptable phase so when I gave the sex I was making a guess, but not anymore. I'll just count the nipples and know for sure. Unless google lies. Want a kitten?

Reliving Mesa Verde

Mesa Verde is in the southern central part of Colorado and is home to Indian cliff dwellings. They're beautiful to see-and the square one? It was four stories high. The Indians used "toe holds" to climb up and down the mountains.
