I AM FREE!!!

Last night at midnight was the official end of classes for my MBA. Now I just wait for my last grade and then my diploma! Of course as crazy as I am I turned around and enrolled in ITT Tech starting December 6th for an Associates degree in Web Development. What can I say I love to learn and I am still trying to figure out what I am going to be when I grow up!

This also means that I have more time for blogging until December. WooHoo!

Look for my upcoming review of TimeBuddy

Little J's Wake Up Call

So have I told you the story of my two cats? No? Well let me tell you.

My husband and I adopted two cats about 2 years ago, one boy and one girl. Right when we were going to get them fixed my husband lost his job. I thought I had time, but at 7 months heat struck and low and behold we got 3 kittens. So here I was with 5 extra mouths to feed on top of Big J's. Well 5 cats is no fun because no one could use the litter box and we were going crazy. No matter what we tried they had minds of their own. So needless to say we decided to only keep one.  So we have Marble who is a little over 1 year old.

Fast forward to a month ago and I was dropping the girls off at daycare. I step out of the car and all I hear is this pitiful kitten cry. Running under the cars is this very wet, 6 month kitten. So being the sap that I am, after dropping the kids in their classes I proceed to try and catch the kitten. Just my luck I catch her. Now what? I had to go to work so I brought her home all wrapped up in a blanket and handed her to my husband. We were hoping someone would miss her, but she is still her and now is our Scampi.

Now you are asking what does this have to do with Little J waking up? I am getting there.

In the mornings I open Little J's bedroom door while I get ready so she can wake up slowly and when I went in to see if she was awake this is what I saw.

Little J & Scampi - Before I took the picture Scampi was cuddling Little J.

Then Scampi decided to get comfy - which did not last long because I do not want this to be a habit.

Little J is saying, "I was not done cuddling, come back here!"

 Big J was jealous and needed her picture taken - This is her angry face

I pulled a 50 ton Jet

So I work for United Way of Central Carolinas which is a nonprofit raising funds for health and human service agencies in a five county area. One of the companies that supports us is US Airways and one of the fundraisers they do is a jet pull. Teams from US Airways pay for a chance to pull the Jet and then the best time wins. They do this in Charlotte, Phoenix and Philly. It was so much fun even though our team came in last, but as our first year we did not do bad with 8.80 seconds.

Plus now I can say I pulled a Jet! How many people can say that???

 Another team getting ready to pull

 This is the plan we pulled, but no the Panthers do not fly in this one.

Below is a link to some footage of teams pulling, including my team. (We are wearing the white UW shirts)

I am also on the look out for new blogs and I love all kinds. Right now I am looking for blogs that have more then just reviews/giveaways. (Don't get me wrong though I love a good review and giveaway but I also like to read a lot.)

Eden Fantasy Review - Adult Content

Being a blog about parenting and mainly about my two girls means I am very selective about what I review. However I have found that a happy mommy means a happy family. I found Eden Fantasy and through their ambassador's program was able to spice up my sex life. Ok I know you are saying TMI, but really I choose the game 101 Nights of Great Sex. The premise of the game is for you and your partner move around the game board and collect five Secret Sealed Seduction Cards. The winner then gets to choose one of their five cards to enjoy now or later. This game gives you and your significant other to stop and enjoy each other's company during the game through trivia, foreplay and other surprises.

A game not your thing? Well Eden Fantasys has something for everyone. From games to sex toys to books you are bound to find something you will enjoy. Now I have purchased items in the past and my biggest concern was if my neighbors, mailman and apartment office would be privy to my private package. With Eden Fantasys there is no need to worry, I actually did not know what it was until I opened it! Great products, fast shipping, great customer service and discretion.

If you are in need of a little spice in your life check out Eden Fantasys now.
