Swim styles
February7
I find it interesting how differently each creature swims. You’ve got the glider, the floater, and the jerky kicker!
Busy at home
February3
I’ve been so distracted at home that I don’t even get online at night! I mean with cuties like my cats, why would I need to? Also, my bruising is really coming out. The soreness is fading a bit…
An update on my bruising. Much more purple now... Looks like South America and Australia to me!
Missy was really enjoying herself on my bed.
Molly got as perfectly circular as she possibly could. I've got to say, she did a pretty good job!
I took a break before stuffing my LoveSac PillowSac through my doorway, so Missy decided she'd enjoy it first.
Ostrich mama
January27
I am amazed that she can bend her neck all the way down for a scratch and that her knees bend the other way. Sitting like that doesn’t look comfortable. Is she even keeping the eggs warm?
Sea monkey munchkins
January19
Check out my recently-hatched baby sea monkeys! They have since tripled in size and increased in entertainment value. 
Silly superstitions
January13
It didn’t even occur to me it was Friday the 13th until a guy at work said it today. The number thirteen has actually been my favorite number since fifth grade, when we had numbered cubbyholes and I was #13. My second favorite number is 19 because that was the box that the guy I liked had! Haha, funny how some things really last in your life.
Well, since it was a day of superstition for much of this country, I thought I’d share a video of one of my cats. When I was choosing them this summer, I specifically went for the dark ones because they don’t seem to get adopted as much. I now have a gray and a black cat, both with some white accents. I don’t know why cats get a bad rap, especially black ones, but at least they are lucky and respected in some cultures. In this video, Missy (the gray one) was really enjoying the tag on my new Victoria’s Secret shirt. She’s a curious and playful one!
Best pet EVER
December23
This little fish is SO awesome! I wish I could just bring it home.
Cat and mouse
December15
Missy is a playful cat who just wanted to chase around the mouse. Of course the mouse wasn’t aware of this, so it was frozen until it saw an opportunity to run. I was able to help get it outside, but Missy still wanted to have some fun.
Mollusks
December11
I always imagined mollusks to climb around the bottom of the ocean floor, not swim around rather gracefully.
Mischievous Molly
December10
Mischievous Molly likes to sit on the keyboard to keep warm. Unfortunately, that doesn't bode well for getting work done and it screws up the keys.
Munchies
November24
What creature doesn’t love a good meal?

My philosophy is simple: things change. Therefore, we are all on a lifelong journey of discovery. We should be flexible, questioning, learning, adapting, and growing. Always.
little fat notebook pays homage to Mead's "fat lil' notebooks" that I use to write down any thoughts that strike me throughout the day. I keep one by my side at all times. After all, inspiration waits for no one.
