Wow, this is the longest I’ve gone without posting in over a month. As you can see, I put up a new layout on Friday night but I haven’t really had time to fully finish the sidebars & widgets and what not, so I’ll do that eventually. I like it how it is for now, so I might not even change it at all. Let me know if you find anything that isn’t working right or looks weird and I’ll be sure to fix it 
Yesterday, I spent the day with my family at my grandparents new cottage. We left the house at like 8:15 (and I didn’t get to sleep until like 5 that morning, because I just couldn’t sleep.. fun) in the morning to go to wal mart to pick some stuff up before (I got Season 5 of the office on sale, woo~) and then we were there by 11ish. There’s a beach right by it, and I took some pictures but I can’t find my camera cord ANYWHERE so I can’t upload them, so my sister & I were there for a bit, but other than that we just chilled around the cottage. It’s small, and really nice 
My mom’s aunt & uncle & their foster baby Sophie ended up coming too. No one knew they were, and they didn’t really know where it was.. so they spent half an hour driving around and around looking and we kept seeing them pass. My mom said ‘Hey, that looks like Auntie Shirley’ (my grandma’s younger sister) and then a few minutes later when the van was going the other way, she said ‘Hey, that looks like Uncle John’ (my grandma’s youngest sisters husband), and then said she hoped it wasn’t Auntie Marg, and she just mistook her for Auntie Shirley (their family has drama; they don’t talk to her as much I don’t think? the rest of the 4 sisters are close though). Turns out, it was & they eventually found the place. Some of my grandparent’s friends stopped by a little after that, so we ended up leaving later than planned.
We went back to the trailer (it was closer than home) at around 7:30, and then I had some ice cream & my little cousins came by. There’s a kitten at the trailer, and it’s been there for a few weeks. My mom bought it food and it always stays when them when they’re there, but the other times I’ve went to see it, it was never there. I want them to bring it home (and my mom said she probably will in the fall, once the season is over & we can’t go back all winter), but they aren’t letting it come home.. yet. So I finally got to see it last night, and it’s the cutesttttt little thing 
It’s so tiny, but it has a huge belly & looks like it’s pregnant. I wouldn’t be surprised, since it’s a stray cat but I don’t know if that would help in my parents bringing it home, or just make them say not a chance. Because my mom says that she doesn’t know how well Cookie (my cat at home) will like a new cat, so I don’t think she would like multiple new cats. We used to have another one, but he ran away (my mom says that Cookie scared him off), but they had kittens awhile before that but we eventually had to give them away (we rent our house, so we’re not technically allowed pets). Either way, I WANT THAT KITTYYYY!
Today I worked, and then went to Wal Mart with my sister & bought some food, came home and then checked on some things online & just watched some One Tree Hill for a few hours. I’m honestly not in the mood to do anything else. Tomorrow, my parents & sister & I are going to Niagara Falls to go shopping & hopefully get to see the falls. Wednesday I have registration for school & then work, and hopefully Thursday I’ll be hanging out with my friends as they all start leaving this weekend. It really sucks :(

I was never a fan of cats until a guy I dated Stu said I reminded him of a Cat and that I had feline tendencies which attracted him to me :-P I think he was full of crap personally haha. Cats can be so cute and vicious at the same time … I love the name Cookie for a Cat. I called my dog Fozzie after Fozzie Bear from the muppets :-D
Make sure you get some rest because it sounds like you are a busy young woman and you don’t want to burn out before school starts xx

Niagara Falls? Can I just say, WOW? Wow wow wow. I have always wanted to see the Niagara Falls! Do post some pictures with you in them.
Oh my gosh. In the last couple of days, I have seen four people raving about a cat. I love cats. I have always wanted one. And I cannot, because both of my parents claim to be allergic to all sorts of pets. “Big Responsibility” and everything. And the whole world is blogging about pets. I think its some conspiracy against me. I am serious. 
Re:
Thank you! The doctor did make it go away. My throat is still sore and when I talk, it resembles the croak of a frog, but at least the fever is down.
Ah, but if you do remember about the paypal, please do let me know!

Enjoy the rest of your holiday!

Hello!
Just letting you know that your ‘Georgina’ affiliate’s address is wrong, you’ve written ‘hhttp://’ instead of the normal ‘http://’ thing.
Anyway, i love your site
Have a lovely day! Bye

Thank you. I have heard LOADS about Eat, Pray, Love. Unfortunately, it is not available in our library. I would check it out as soon as I get into a bookstore.
Isn’t Julia Roberts even starring in a movie based on that book?
Oh, actually, the problem is not with fan update, but with containers. I am using them for the first time, and when you put it all together, in the header.php, it is not turning out right. Even my host is confused because she uses WP too. :(
Oh, that is cool! You live near the Niagara Falls. I live near the Taj Mahal. The seventh wonder of the world. I think you might have heard about it. It is beautiful, but I don’t think it is that extra-ordinary either. And yet foreigners come from far and wide to have a glimpse of the monument. It is all about wanting what we can’t have, I suppose.

omg a kitty! I’m so jealous, I haven’t seen a kitten in ages. I wish you could keep it, or atleast take pictures and show us the little cutie ^_^ I’ve always wanted to go to Niagra Falls, you’ve gotta take photos and show us! =]

I’ve moved my website over to another, long story. just though i would let you know
the new layout looks great! I love it!
sounds like you had an interesting time lol. I hate when theres people around that dont get along, it just gets awkward…
im not a fan of cats, but i do think they are cute! lol. hopefully you guys can take it home. poor little cat without a home :(

Aww the cat sounds so cute. I’m sure Sebby would love it too because he LOVES cats. His parents recently found two abandoned dogs and took them in. I hope you can get the cat. Sounds like you had a good trip though, can’t wait until you find your camera cord LOL. I love photos.
As I mentioned earlier I love the layout! I like how it’s a fluid layout and generally fits the width of my screen. Unless someone was using an exceptionally tiny screen I think it looks good.
Yeah, those little things really do make a difference and they freak me out a little bit too. I wonder what would also happen down James’s side, if he didn’t move house and if we both didn’t get into the same school. *_* I am closer to a lot of my friends than my family. I can just tell them anything. I feel bad that sometimes I can’t tell things to my family, but I think there’s some things you just prefer to tell your friends. If they stab you in the back you can always push them away, but you can’t exactly push family away. Not to mention it’s really nice when your friends are an escape from your family.
Oh awesome, $20! The biggest I’ve gotten from blogsvertise is about $17.

Stu is a bit of a strange character indeed. He is obsessed with Cats and he said because I had the deep dark green eyes like a cat and he recons I reminded him of a cat. Maybe because I am a feline ;-) haha. Who knows …
As for getting over Sean, I broke up with him in January of this year and it was months before we spoke again. But now it’ll be forever … I can’t have him in my life even a little, he’s too toxic for me.

Ha ha, I have a setting with the librarian. She knows I read a lot, so she bends a couple of rules for me. Like we’re allowed to issue only one book per week, but I need at least four. And she even keeps some books for me, which she knows I’d like to read.
But our library is closed right now. :(
I could get the e-book, but there would be little fun in reading that sort of a book online.
It is a book meant to be savored before going to bed. I’ll have to wait for a trip to the bookstore, which isn’t present in the immediate future. I have exams from the next week. OMGG. And I have been too ill to pick up a book.

I love the new layout, purple is one of my favourite colours
Kittens are so cute, I have three cats but I could totally adopt another kitten!
