About Me Self Portraits

Photobooth Fun

Photo 19

Howdy y’all, its been a cloudy rainy day here but that did not ruin it. Hmm, what did I do today? Goofed around on my new imac. Yup yup yup. So cool. Blasting music from its great speakers. Wow. So amazing. I am in love with my imac.

Anyways, the vet called today and he said Callie’s little poopy showed that she had ringworm. Well, you know he did not use poopy but thats okay. So, my mom stopped by the vets office and picked up some medicine. Callie is doing well overall and this ringworm will be gone sooner than we know it.

Moving on, this whole weekend has been my birthday celebration. Guess what my mom got me today. My favorite kind of cake. Carvel ice cream cake. Oh my god! That is my favorite. The best. Just so yummy. Melts in your mouth. I got to stop talking about it or I may just end up going down stairs to get another piece. Mmm!

Alright, since a few people have wanted me to do a post of photos of me taken with the photobooth application….I did. It was fun. You know I do love taking self portraits. Different looks is always fun and have good laughs later on. The photo above is one I took with photobooth. I thought it was a good one. Here are the rest.

Watcha think of all the pics? Have a favorite? Let me know. I sure had a good time doing this. Especially, in this crappy hot weather in New Jersey. Well, I am going to do some surfing of the net. Maybe work on some videos. I do plan on making a first video with my built in camera for youtube so that will probably be up later tonight or tomorrow. Also, need to edit some videos. Also, I will be playing some good music. Rock, pop, country and anything else that I feel like listening to. I will talk to you all soon. Stay happy and safe. Peace.

Happy Birthday To Me

my_new_imac_bdayHappy Birthday to me. Happy birthday to me. Yeah, thats correct. Yesterday I was seventeen and now today I am eighteen. Woot! The big eighteen. Wow! This fun size gal is eighteen and still looks young. Wonder where I can go and still get kids menus. Ha, yes some places will still give me kids menus or stuff. Crazy huh. Well, I take it as a compliment. I rather look younger than older. Anyways, my birthday was great.

Today, in the morning we took Callie for her first vet visit. Everyone loved her. Which is not suprising for such an adorable little kitty. Anyways, she is healthy which is wonderful news. When we were waiting in the room for her blood test to come back it was torture because I did not want her to have Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) which can be passed down from mother cat to kittens. Which is deadly. I am very happy she is doing well. So first visit was a success.

After that, my mom and I went to the aooke store. As you can see in the photo I chose the iMac instead of the Macbook Pro and I am loving it! I definately made the right choice. The iMac has a twenty-four inch screen which is magnificent. Just great for everything I do. I already have the macbook. Even though the screen is broken I can still use it as backup. I wanted something more impressive than the Macbook Pro and I sure got it! Mac gal forever. Once you go mac you never go back.

Lastly, for dinner we went to my favorite place with my great mom. The chinese buffet that I love love love. So yummy. I love being able to just go up and choose what I want to eat and how much I want of it. This fun size girl loves food. Hehe!

So, overall it has been a wonderful birthday. Now, I am going to relax and enjoy my new imac. Woohoo! Time to explor and have fun. Thanks everyone who gave me lovely birthday wishes. I will talk to you all soon. Peace.

animals dogs Lady My Dogs pets

Dog Crazy

Lady_AnnaAlright, I need to make something clear to you all out there. I am still a dog lover. Even though I may have a kitten now. Dogs are still number one in my life. I will always be a dog person. Maybe sometimes a crazy dog person. Sorry I will never be a crazy cat person. I will never walk into a store and say I want every cat. Callie is special. She could be the only cat I will ever own and have in my life. Dogs come first and always will. Dog crazy gal.

Oh my goodness, today is the last day that I am seventeen! Yes, tomorrow is my eighteenth birthday! Wow. A nice easy last day of being seventeen. What am I doing for my birthday? Well, in the morning we are taking Callie for her very first vet appointment. Woohoo! It will be interesting to see what the vet says about little Callie girl. Aftter that I am going to the Apple store to choose a Macbook Pro or an iMac. I am excited. I like the Macbook Pro because its portable. Thing is I like the iMac because it has a nice big screen. I will see and choose tomorrow.

I took this photo a long time ago. It is Lady and I. It is not the clearest but I love the emotion and character this photo has. Lady is such a goofy girl. What do you think of it.

Anyways, I do hope you all had a nice Friday. So, I am going to listen to some music and maybe groove to it a little bit. Also, I am going to surf the net on some of my favorite sites and talk to my peeps all around the world. Peace.

animals dogs Pet Stores Puppies Puppy Mills

Puppy Mill Pups

sleepingpetstorepupAren’t these puppies so cute in these photos? I will agree yes they are. But, before you say you want to buy one let me tell you something. I took these two photos of these cute puppies in a pet store. If you have never been told to not buy from a pet store I will tell you now. Please, do not buy from a pet store. Wanna know why? I will gladly tell you. If you do not already know the puppies in pet stores come from puppy mills.

Puppy mills are places where irresponsible people keep dogs in crowded dirty conditions where the poor female dogs just give birth over and over again. These dogs live a horrible life with not a lot of movement and little to no socialization. When the female dog cant breed anymore the puppy mill owners will leave her to die or just kill her. Puppy mill owners have no care for the life of the dogs they have. All they care about is getting the puppies that earn them money.

Also, let me share something. These puppies come from dirty unclean living areas. The parents do not go to the vet which means these dogs pass down diseases over and over again. You hear stories about people buying a puppy from a pet store and they end up spending thousands of dollars on a sick dog who may recover, who will have to live with the illness its whole life or the puppy dies.

twopetstorepupssleepingOne other thing is. If you buy from a pet store you are supporting puppy mills. Oh, one puppy wont make a difference in business. Let me tell you. One puppy sold tells the puppy mill owner that he is being successful and those poor dogs continue to live in that condition. Lets not support puppy mills. Instead we need to help stop them. Next time you go into a pet store just look and tell yourself that you are helping dogs by not buying a puppy from there. That is what I tell myself when I go into one. We all need to help the dogs and puppies who live sad unhealthy lives. Together we will bring an end to puppy mills and stop the pain these dogs live in.

Anyways, moving on to something exciting. It is almost Friday! Woohoo! The weekend is almost here. Be excited. We all love weekends. Ha, Callie is being a little crazy kitten running around. Jumping on to the bed and grabbing my feet and then jumping off. Callie loves to cause trouble but that is a kitten for you. Well, I am going to listen to some good music and relax. Chillax. Peace.

RIP Honey

Aww, look! It was one of two guinea pigs I had a few years ago. His name was Honey and I came across this photo and thought I would share it. Honey lived a long time for a guinea pig. He will always have a place in my mind and heart. R.I.P. Honey.

Self Portraits

Looking Through You

Anna_Self_PortraitSo right now I am sitting here watching Callie take a little poop in her litter box. What a great way to start a post eh? Well, it just brings up how I wish Oliver knew how to do all of his business outside instead of using the house as his toilet. Bad little boy. He can do it if you just turn your head for a minute.

Anyways, moving on. Did you all hear that the world’s tallest dog, Gibson died on August 7? His owner put him down because his cancer spread to his lungs. Gibson was a great dane who died in his owners loving arms at age 7. He will truly be missed but never forgotten. R.I.P. Gibson.

Anyways, like the self portrait? I made it pretty funky looking. I like the way it came out. The eye is looking at your soul. Seeing your thoughts and feelings. Watcha think?

I am gonna relax and watch Callie play around. Peace.

Perrrrrreace!

Monday Sweats

calliesleepingkittenIts been a hot hot hot Monday here in Northern New Jersey. I did not spend a lot of time outside today because I would be sweating like crazy and just a day I did not want to be outdoors.. Luckily I spent most of the time inside near my air conditioner. Keeping myself nice and cool. Besides the heat its nice sunny weather. If it was a little cooler I would of went on my bicycle ride. I will go in the next couple of days. I need to keep my strong legs. I need to do more push ups and stuff to keep my arms strong also.

Oliver spent the day with Princess, Callie and I upstairs. He is so interested in little Callie. He wants to play but he plays too rough for little Callie right now. She gets scared because he is barking right in her face and trying to play nip. She will slowly get use to him and bat him around a little which he needs. She will teach him a lesson or two. Callie is going to become one tough cat.

I know I know its another photo of Callie. She is adorable in this picture though. Little sleepy girl. She slept most of the day and now she is romping around playing with toys and exploring my room. I still do not have my camera but luckily I have the camera phone and the camera on the camcorder to take some photos. They do not work as well but they will do for now. I will try to make it more varied soon. I am going to relax, listen to some good music and talk to peeps. Peace

How to ignore your little brother

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgW-HUW_4X8]

I know a lot of you already seen this video but I do enjoy watching it again and again. My mom recorded this awhile ago. She and I edited it together and it came out so well. The title fits the video perfectly. As you can see Princess has a lot of patience to ignore Oliver. Oliver is a young hyper boy who tries to get Princess to pay attention to him and play. She does at times but other times she will just ignore him. If you have not seen this video please watch and enjoy. Spread it around and also comment and rate. Thanks.

Welcome Home Callie!

calliekittyHeres Callie! So, this little gal woke me up at six in the morning meowing so I got up and played with her for a little bit. Then after that I laid on the futon at the cabin with her and we fell asleep for a little. She is such a calm little kitty. Pretty relaxed for being away from her mother and siblings.

Today we came home and I brought her upstairs to my room where she will live. She explored it and is now laying next to me in bed. Princess does fine with her which is good because Princess stays in my room a lot with me. Also, Oliver is doing pretty well with her too. He just wants to smell and play with her. On the other hand, Lady wants to eat her. So, Lady can not come upstairs anymore. Which is fine because she prefers the downstairs where the food is anyways. Overall, this kitten of mine is settling in pretty nicely. She will get use to her new home. Welcome home Callie.

Here is a video of Callie. She created her own first little trick. Look how cute she is. Loves her toy.

I hope you liked that short little video. There are a few more videos of her I uploaded today. So check out my youtube channel and comment and rate please. Anyways, so for the photo of the day I chose another photo of Callie. Look at her cute face. I love all her little spots. They are even on her little nose. I hope you all had a nice weekend also. Right now I am going to relax and listen to music. I will talk to you all soon. Peace.

New Kitty!

calliekittieGot some big news. Look! I got the cabin kitten I always wanted from the very first second I saw her weeks ago. Isnt she cute? We decided to name her Callie. She is maybe a calico but someone said she might be a tortie which is more rare. I do not know but if you know your cat breeds let me know what you think she is.

How did I get her? Well, I got a long piece of grass and started to play with one of the stray orange cats that hangs around. So along came Callie interesting in the moving object. She started to grab at it and she got closer and closer. When this little kitten was in arms reach I bent down and picked her up. She was little scared at first but she settled down pretty quickly. Right now she is laying next to me on my bed at the cabin. I got a kitty I got a kitty!

Here is a video my mom recorded of the very first few minutes of me with my new kitten.

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0ZRQ3OhZkw]

Anyways, that is my exciting news. So everyone meet the new member of the family. Callie. You will see more videos and photos of her soon as she gets settled in her home.

It was a good day. Besides getting my kitty my mom and I went to Tractor Supply Company which is my favorite store in the country besides Walmart. After that we went swimming. The water felt so good because it is hot out here. So, I hope everyone else had a good exciting Saturday. I am going to snuggle the kitty a little more and relax. Purreace!
