<3 The LoVe of my LiFe <3

The new love of my life is definetly my cat. She is a female Bengal cat, which means she is part Asian Leapord and part domestic. The leapord part is where she gets her gorgeous coat. Pretty cool huh?



Her name is...
~ Zoey~


Zoey came into my life unexpectedly. My initial intention was to give her to someone, but thankfully I changed my mind on that plan at the last minute. My mom was keeping her at the time (still does) and fell in love with her, so when I decided Zoey needed to stay within the family, my mother was all for it! My Dad is in love with her too. It's impossible not to be! Then we offered her to my sister and brother-in-law, but they decided against it as well.

That's when I knew it was meant to be, and that precious little leapord kitten became my Zoey Bella!



Don't get me wrong. She is a wild one, with some cool animalistic characteristics.

Here are some interesting facts about my Bengal cat, Zoey.

- She makes a funny growling noise when she eats.

-They are very vocal cats. She cries for you when she doesn't know where you are.

-She is very hyper and quite the showoff! She will run in circles for 20 minutes straight!

- When she is sleepy, she loves to cuddle and lay on your lap.

-When it is bedtime, you tell her in a gentle voice "It's nighty night time" and amazingly, often fighting the urge, she settles down and closes her eyes.

- She really is THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!

~ Music Makes My World Go 'Round! ~

Sorry it's been so long!


I've decided to start a "My Music of the Week" ritual. (Let's hope I keep it up.) I LOVE music!Sometimes, it's what gets me through the day. I listen to it in the car, while I run, when I'm walking to class, as I'm cleaning, making food, or anything else that just involves me in the action. I love it because it can set the mood, get me focused, and entertain me and my ADD!


I have a problem with listening to songs over and over again. So, I tend to wear out quickly and change up my song lists frequently. There are some songs that I consider timeless and bring them back here and there.


Here is my Top 10 list for the week. Some songs may stay on the list from week to week while others will change. Different songs serve different purposes as I listen to certain ones while I run and others at a much more leisurely pace. Please keep in mind, these are not in any kind of order!

1. Love Lockdown by Kanye West

Please keep in mind... this album is amazing, BUT if you cried

during the movie, you will more than likely find yourself tearing

up with a lump in your throat as you listen to

the songs. Believe me though, it is totally worth it!



One Love,
