jack Posted by Hello

The pooch and I are home alone again tonight with only the cats to keep us company (or drive us nuts). I wish it was warm outside so Jack could sleep outside though, because he stinks. Sometimes I wonder what he does all day...I think he rolled in some cow shit or ran through the swamp today because he reeks! Maybe I can give him a bath tomorrow.

Me...the newest addition to reality TV??


So I'm seriously thinking about trying to be a part of the upcoming America's Next Top Model.

There's an open casting call at the Mall of America two weeks from today, and the closer it gets, the more it's on my mind. I guess I've already decided that it's something I'd definitely like to do, but I guess it's just a matter of whether or not NOW is the right time. I'm sure there'll be another "cycle" as they call it within the next year. If I wait, it would give me enough time to really concentrate on getting back to my top physical condition. I would have a better chance to prepare to take time off from my job if I was selected too. I mean, I don't even have a passport yet (which they require you to have of course), so I need time & money to get one. Aren't they like $80 or something?

On the other hand, I guess I don't really have anything to loose by going to try out. If I get chosen to move on to the semi-finals/finals I'll obviously be happy about it and I'm sure I'd find a way for the rest of my life to work around it. I'm confidant that my friends, family & employers would be completely supportive.

I just spent the last 1/2 hour reading through the application, and the more and more I read it, the more I feel like this is really something I would have a good shot at. It seems like I'm the type of girl they're looking for. I guess we'll see.

Monty & Jasper


These girls finally have a new home, and the best part is they're still together. 3 years ago, Monty (left) and Jasper (right) became a part of my life. I had considered getting a cat, so I found an ad in the local newspaper and when I went to see the kittens, I fell in love with these two adorable girls. So on my way home that night, I had to explain to my roommate that I didn't have just one cat, but two.

Being the sucker that I am for animals, I ended up with a 3rd cat (Shadow--a stray I found in the parking lot at my work) just a few months later, and before the year was out, I added a black lab named Jack to the family. The following year, Monty and Jasper each had a litter of kittens of their own, and I fell in love all over again. That's how I ended up with Teddy & Andre. (I'll have to post pictures later of all of them later.)

Anyway, long story short, my living situation changed and I needed to find a new home for a couple of my animals, so I enrolled Monty and Jasper in the adoption program at Petsmart and they were both adopted by the same woman a couple weeks ago. It makes me so happy to know that they've gone to a good home. They really must have turned on their charm for her because it must have set her back at least $200 for the 2 of them. But I can't help but look at their picture and miss them.

This is a picture from a Beck show I went to almost 2 years ago. It is one of my favorite pictures ever.
