Holiday cheer from my babies!

In case you missed it on my social networks, here's some holiday cheer brought to you by PetCo and my darling babies! (Ok, the adult bearded dragon isn't mine.)

My Chanukah Miracle

Warning: mushy stuff ahead.

I just wanted to share a great joy I experienced this last week. One which continues to bless me. Recently, my Chanukiah (Chanukah menorah) which my Imah (mother) gave to me was accidentally broken. I checked Amazon and a found a beautiful "Walls of Jerusalem" Chanukiah. Unfortunately, I only had a week til Chanukah. I bought it on rush-order and hoped for the best. My heart sank when I discovered the estimated arrival date was December 12th--halfway through Chanukah.

Like a wanderer lost in the desert searching hopelessly and at the same time hopefully for water, I tracked the package every day until Friday. By then, it was in my town! I couldn't believe it! Still, I was worried that my package might remain in the post office for a couple days.

Despite my proficient and professional worrying (really, I should get paid for all my worrying), the package was delivered Saturday afternoon. I waited til dark and tore open the box. The Chanukiah was beautiful!! I have it pictured here. I absolutely love it! I cried. I don't cry tears of joy. But I did this time. I was so happy that I could light a menorah on the first night of Chanukah--and the following nights. I hadn't realized how much it meant to me until it was taken away. Now, it's better than ever.

Baruch HaShem.

Ok. Enough of the mushy stuff. Let's have some donuts and latkes and PARTY!!!

Happy Chanukah and happy holidays, everyone!

My friend Charlotte

Took a little road trip today with my boyfriend (Cuddle Bear) and his friend (Biscuit). We ended up stopping at a visitor's center where I discovered a spider in Biscuit's hair. Being enchanted by spiders as I am, I promptly plucked the spider from his hair and continued playing with it for the next minutes. The spider seemed fine at first, but then it became agitated (or I assume from the increase frenzy of its attempts to escape).  I was getting tired, so I was willing to let the spider go. As I walked over to place it where I thought it would be safe, the spider made a mad leap from my fingers. I searched and searched until, just as I had given it up for lost, it reappeared floating in the air some distance from my hand. Triumphant that I had not lost it (and thus doomed it to the perilous foot traffic of the floor), I proceeded to place the spider.

"Do you have a spider or something?"

At the unexpected voice, I looked up--the spider still dangling from my hand. All four of the desk attendants were staring at me--either from around their computer monitors or standing up to see over them. Awkward.

The spider still dangled from my hand.

Quickly, I flashed a disarming (though slightly embarrassed) smile and explained the situation as I safely deposited the arachnid. One of the attendants complimented me on how kind and calm I was to the spider crawling on me. Should I tell him I am Spider Woman? Neh, I was too embarrassed still. Haha! Anyway, some jokes about "Charlotte" were tossed about, and my friends and I left.

The End.

(I like how rushed that ending is. So...awkward and embarrassed.)

You Are an Enigma

You have an amazing depth to you. You have layers upon layers that no one else has seen. Your quiet nature makes it difficult for people to get to know you. You put up walls without meaning to.

Will Sell for Shoes

I have boxes of stuff to get rid of--some of which is in sellable condition. I got shipping boxes for free from eBay months ago. I just haven't, you know...taken the next step. I think it's about time I did so. Besides, I like money. I especially like having money so I can buy stuff...like shoes. OMG, I love shoes.

Aaaaaaaanyway, I will keep updating about this and will also post links to my merchandise if I ever do get it online. Now, for some entertainment!

Well, that's unfortunate for both of us

I found this little guy (on the right) smooshed on a roll of toilet paper! I am not making this up! Hahaha! 
It reminds me of another image I'd seen on the internet somewhere. What was it...? Oh yeah! This is it! 

Barking Dog in the Parking Lot

This dog cracked me up for some reason. Maybe because it acted so tough. I played this video back at it, and it stopped, gave a confused stare, and then barked even more!

Skyrim Obsession! The Evidence.

Hey! Long time, no...whatever. I posted pix from my Skyrim obsession to Google+. You can check them here.

Also, did you know I have a Tumblr now? It's right here. Enjoy!

Just a quickie...

I'm really just testing out how updating my blog through my new phone will work. ... ... Eh, ok, I feel bad for not updating it. Well, hopefully I will start updating regularly again soon. I intend on making some life changes that will alter how I spend my time--but it may not give me extra time (for blogging and such). However, I do intend on having an adventurous summer, so I'll try to remember to post about all the fun I have. *crosses fingers* At least I can document it better with a more modern phone and its fairly nice camera! :-D

New Video Page

Ok, so...I gave my live Qik account its own page on this blog. It's with the blog pages/links near the top of the page. I'm leaving Livestream on here as well...for now. I connected the two accounts, though, so that when I stream from Qik, it sends it to Livestream.

This is NOT to say that either of these streaming accounts will see any increased action. I live a very life these days. Just a heads up. :)

Maybe I'll try to take more videos of Lucian or of my playing Skyrim (I don't know about the latter, though. Something about playing video games brings a cesspool of profanity from me. Hmm...perhaps I could replace my voice with music!)

I will try to keep this stuff (including this blog) a bit more active. Now that I finally have my coveted Android phone, I should be able to do so!

Cheerio, for now!

Blogalicious Makeover!

New bling jeans!

Just a quick update to inform who all I can of the changes to my blog! I recently changed the url, so old links will not work. *sad sigh* Alas! But what I really wanted to call to your attention is the new look! Just like my wardrobe in the past year (like my new jeans in the pic?), my blog has gotten a makeover! And, thanks to the nifty little toolbar at the bottom of the screen, it should be more interactive and user friendly. I'll be adding more apps to the toolbar and more features to the blog, so stay tuned! Of course, with my busy college schedule (I'm being slammed this semester), keep in mind I won't have much time to be here. I will try best, though!

Hope you like the changes! Please, leave me feedback! This blog is as much for you as it is for me! Ok...it's mostly for me...but it's for me to share with you! :-D
