I'm a PUMA dammitt!! (+New Feature!!)

Journal Entry: Wed Jul 1, 2009, 12:57 PM
  • Mood: dA Love
  • Drinking: H 2 O hnoes!!!


Ah...

Well, last weekend was when we moved the last of our furniture into the new house.

We're all super excited!!! It's a much bigger place, Layla LOVES the yard and it feels more like a "home" than a place to stay.

We've got about half of the rooms unpacked - Matt's bedroom, the living room, the kitchen, Joe's and My bedroom. All that's left is the dining room, the upstairs spare bedroom and the attic/library. There are 2 more rooms (the downstairs spare bedroom and the "folding"/laundry room) but those 2 don't have anything to go in them yet.

The upstairs spare room is going to be my art and yoga room and the downstairs spare room is going to be a weight and workout room for the boys.... that's why there's nothing to unpack in that room! lol Right now we only have hand weights and those are already in there...

It's been a rough couple of weeks since I didn't get a break at all this weekend and I'm back at work for the entire week. I'm so tired my eyes are twitching all the time. I have to force myself to unpack boxes when I get home because it'll never get done if I don't!

I wasn't even planning on getting onto dA until next week but work is slow and I need something to keep me awake for a little while...



About the title:

Well, my birthday is tomorrow.

Joe likes to tease me about being older than him and I told him don't rub it in... Well, to make me feel better he told me I'm "not a cougar [I'm] a PUMA!" and I just had to laugh!

He's so cute sometimes :XD:
(ok so pretty much ALL the time but still)


So yea I'm a Puma and damn proud of it!

I'm also exhausted... tired... sleepy and groggy... ready for 2 hours from now when I get to go home. I wish I didn't have to work on my birthday but we're going to be busy because everyone thinks we're going to be closed on Friday (It's 4th of July weekend and most other banks are closed Friday... EXCEPT us!! ) Hopefully, I'll be able to make it to where I can leave a little earlier than normal.

I haven't been studying as much in my coursebooks but that's because I've been too tired to concentrate for as long. I'm on my 9th book, not even 20 pages in and this one is a LONG one (compared to the rest) so I'm trying to retain it all.

Anyways, there's another reason I'm on here today - I wanted to change my Featured Artist of the Month! I was going to do it tomorrow, but, like I said, I'll be busy at work and I doubt I'll remember if I don't do it now.

So, be sure to check it out!

Ok, well I'd better be going. Work is beginning to pick up and I've got some duties to get done before I can leave that are quite time consuming.


:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

I love my dA family - you all have proven to be the best friends I could ever ask for... loving, supportive and understanding - More true friends I've never found.

I hope that when I come back, I'll be able to write freely and express myself in all the ways I need to. I have so many goals for myself and I can't wait to tell you all that I have succeeded in them!

I will miss you all terribly. Your sturdy strength and numerous shoulders you've lent for me to cry on will not be forgotten.

:hug:

I will return as soon as I am able.

:hug:

Random Feature Of the Month

***All past features can now be found here:

in my Favorites folder***

Ok, well this month I took the easy way out and I was not disappointed!!
I asked my last featured artist, ~MloyangDrawlo to suggest any artist they knew (under 10,000 pageviews of course) that had quality work and they sure delivered!

I'm very proud to present :iconhamsterprincess: ~HamsterPrincess a lovely French photographer with a creative eye and beautiful captures. Now, I can't speak French (or write it for that matter!) so, for the most part, I can't translate the titles of her pieces but I was stunned with the Featured photo as soon as I saw her page. For the sake of finding hidden treasures, I didn't include the Featured piece in the items below but check it out anyways!
