Just call me Mrs Book worm!

Today I get my new glasses. I never wore glasses in my life. However, now I'm going blind! My eyes and head were hurting a couple months back. And I was squinting a lot. So my hubby and I went to get our eyes checked out and we both need glasses. I am both near and far sighted. JUST GREAT! My hubby said I am going to look like the book worm -up above. lol. He had me rolling, I couldn't stop laughing. Glasses look so HUGE on my face. I tried on everything at the eye glass store. The lady at the eye store said that i am tiny, very small body and have a small head. lol Well thank you, Ma'am. Much appreicated. I think? :P Small head ... ahh man, that is better then a BIG HEAD, don'tcha think? lol hahaha... Since I lost weight , my face is so much thinner now. I now look great :) Oh this HERE is my glasses. Check them out. They are beautiful. Mine is in black. With my hair being very dark, almost black. The lady at the eye glass store said that the glasses I picked out make my eyes look very exotic. lol hmm, okay. Well, I never heard that one before.... All i care about is , being able to see and my eyes and head don't hurt anymore. So, I hope these glasses help. I am keeping my fingers and toes corssed. :)



Do you wear glasses? Do they help you? Tell me, please share :)

I love the Ocean, do you?

I love the Ocean, do you? :)

Sharing my Lizzy creation that I made of a mermaid. I always love the ocean. When I stare at the waves , its very calming. Very meditating, soothing for my soul. Here is one of my favorite poems below that I would love to share with you. This poem below inspirated me to create this beautiful artwork up above. Thanks to Alfred Lord tennyson.

The Mermaid Poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson

Who would be A mermaid fair, Singing alone, Combing her hair Under the sea, In a golden curl With a comb of pearl, On a throne?

I would be a mermaid fair; I would sing to myself the whole of the day; With a comb of pearl I would comb my hair; And still as I comb'd I would sing and say, 'Who is it loves me? who loves not me?' I would comb my hair till my ringlets would fall Low adown, low adown, From under my starry sea-bud crown Low adown and around, And I should look like a fountain of gold Springing alone With a shrill inner sound Over the throne In the midst of the hall; Till that great sea-snake under the sea From his coiled sleeps in the central deeps Would slowly trail himself sevenfold Round the hall where I sate, and look in at the gate With his large calm eyes for the love of me. And all the mermen under the sea Would feel their immortality Die in their hearts for the love of me.

But at night I would wander away, away, I would fling on each side my low-flowing locks, And lightly vault from the throne and play With the mermen in and out of the rocks; We would run to and fro, and hide and seek, On the broad sea-wolds in the crimson shells, Whose silvery spikes are nighest the sea. But if any came near I would call and shriek, And adown the steep like a wave I would leap From the diamond-ledges that jut from the dells; For I would not be kiss'd by all who would list Of the bold merry mermen under the sea. They would sue me, and woo me, and flatter me, In the purple twilights under the sea; But the king of them all would carry me, Woo me, and win me, and marry me, In the branching jaspers under the sea. Then all the dry-pied things that be In the hueless mosses under the sea Would curl round my silver feet silently, All looking up for the love of me. And if I should carol aloud, from aloft All things that are forked, and horned, and soft Would lean out from the hollow sphere of the sea, All looking down for the love of me.

Do ALL animals go to heaven?

For years I wonder if all animals go to heaven. Well , i got my answer in August of 2008, last year. My beloved kitty Sienna (CeCe) past away from lung cancer. I was in the kitchen washing dishes all of a sudden i felt something rubbing on my leg. So, I looked down and there was a shadow of a cat circling between my legs. Then the shadow of the cat slowly ran into my storage room. Sienna use to sleep in that room. My heart dropped. I thought, OH MY GOD! IS THIS FOR REAL? I never in my life believed in life after death. NOW, I believe it. I kept saying to myself, PLEASE let this be real! I want Sienna back in my life again. Oh, how I miss her. I truly had a hard time when she did go. Later on that week, I told my hubby what had happened and he said to me, Lizzy, she came to visit me ,too. It was just an amazing feeling I ever felt in my whole life. Never had I had this happen to me. NOW I DO BELIEVE! :)

After she died, I had a rough time with my weight loss. Not with my vitamin intake but eating on schedule. My eating habits went down the drain. I didn't care if I ate. Although, I did make sure I drank my protein shakes. At least twice a day. I drank my water and made sure I was well hydrated. But still, I could care less at the time. I wanted my Sienna baby back.

She was a beautiful gray tabby cat. She was my best friend in the world. She understood me like no one else did. We spent so much time together. We had a wonderful relationship. I am getting very emotional now writing this. When she passed, it felt like a piece of me dying with her. I had a HUGE hole in my heart and I had to replace it as soon as possible to keep myself from really getting depressed.

A few weeks after she passed, my hubby says to me. Lets adopt a kitten. And guess what ? He didn't want to adopt one, he wanted to adopt TWO KITTEN'S! I was SO THRILLED and SO HAPPY! I was on cloud 9. But still, all i had on my mind was losing the BEST kitty in the world.

It took a lot of time to get past Sienna's death. Its now been a year since she is gone. and I still get emotional when I think of her. No kitty will replace her. But I know she will want me to move on and give my love to all animals, especially cat's and kitten's. I will make sure I do my best to help all cats around where I live. I will stand up for their rights and fight for them!

If my tears can build a stairway to heaven, I'd walk right up there and bring you home with me again. CeCe you will always forever be in my heart and thoughts. I miss and love you. And I truly know you love me back because you can down to visit me. It was a very special moment for me as well as it was for you, sweetie.

YES, ALL animals go to heaven,too. I do believe. :)
