Hey loves.
I had kind of a rough day. I don’t really want to go into too much detail until I know more about what’s going on, but I will say that it involves Kaiah, an emergency visit to the vet, and my baby having to stay there overnight. Will not cry. Will not cry. Will not…. damn.
*deep breath*
I wasn’t originally going to post today, but I need something to distract me from my thoughts, and since reading, exercise, and trashy TV have failed to provide my mind with the solace that it needs, I figured that I’d turn to blogging for salvation, while simultaneously drowning my sorrows in chocolate…
Chocolate pudding spiked with cocoa powder and topped with almond butter.
Tori posted this survey on her blog a little while back, and I figured that today was as good a day as any to fill it out myself. Hopefully everything turns out alright with Ky so that I can have double reason to celebrate tomorrow, it being WIAW and all. Have a good night, loves, and I’ll try to do the same. Will not cry. Will not cry. Will not… damn.

What is on your desktop wallpaper? This…
. – . – . – .
What is your favorite drink? This…
Black coffee, straight up; no cream, no sugar. I try to limit myself to 1-2 cups a day, but daaaaang do I look forward to those cups.
. – . – . – .
What was your favorite toy as a child? This guy…
I got him in NYC when I was 3 years old. He cost $1 and became priceless to me.
. – . – . – .
What food do you eat too much of? None. Too much means excess, excess means more than you need, and more than you need means that you wouldn’t be craving it like crazy every. single. day (greed notwithstanding, of course). I do, however, eat a lot of oatmeal…
… and that’s not even counting dessert…
. – . – . – .
What kind of hairstyle do you have? The kind that is desperately in need of a hair cut and is thrown into a messy low bun as an attempt to hide its owner’s negligence. Oh, and bangs that are always in my face…
Old picture. Same sad face.
. – . – . – .
What was your favorite activity in gym class? Dodgeball…
Dodge. Duck. Dip. Dive. Dodge.
. – . – . – .
What is on the shirt you’re wearing right now? Erm. Nothing. It’s blank. It’s dark grey. It’s the Cool Racerback from Lululemon. Love.
. – . – . – .
What are the three most played songs in your iTunes library? Switchback – Celldweller , Life is Beautiful – Sixx A.M., Whatever – Godsmack
. – . – . – .
What is the picture nearest you of? I’m blogging from outside, so… none. But here’s a picture of a face that I’m missing like crazy and should be near me but isn’t 🙁
. – . – . – .
What do you do on a Sunday night? The same thing I do every night [Pinky]. Try to take over the world! (name that show). But really… the same thing I do every night. Blog, snack, read, relax, pass out around 10:30. Yes, I’m a wild one.
. – . – . – .
If you could only use one condiment on your food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Ketchup, hands down.
Sometimes I crave it so bad that I swear I make fries just as an excuse to eat it.
. – . – . – .
What color are your sheets? The sheet covering my bed is black, while my duvet covers are… dark purple-y? I’m looking for new ones for when I move into my new place, but I still have no idea what color scheme I want to go with…
. – . – . – .
How big is your computer display? The laptop is 15, the desktop is 24.
. – . – . – .
What pair of shoes do you wear most often? I don’t like shoes…
Butttt since the thought of walking around the city barefoot completely skeeves me out, I put on my Sketchers to run errands, and some heels when I feel like getting glammed up.
. – . – . – .
What is your favorite game? This one…
We’re not even gonna talk about how much of my life I lost to this game 😆
. – . – . – .
What time do you plan on waking up tomorrow? I don’t ever really plan on waking up at a specific time. I haven’t been woken up by an alarm clock in years… my body just naturally wakes up anywhere between 5-6.

Do you handle it well when your pets (or loved ones) are sick?
What are the top 3 songs on your iTunes?
What foods do you eat a lot of?
oh man, I used to eat ketchup like it was my job but not it doesn’t have the same appeal… one day I just stopped wanting it, weird! Not a day goes by where I do not consume tons of hummus, dark chocolate, broccoli, pancakes and nut butter, bananas, and copious berries when they don’t require me to go into debt 😉
Sending huge hugs and well wishes to you are your pup! My doggy is basically my best friend so I can only imagine how rough it is right now, keep up the positive thoughts. Keeping busy tends to help me, reading, painting my nails, cleaning, baking, a long chat with a friend. Hang in there dollface!
I found myself nodding in agreement to so many of your survey answers.. then I got to WoW and giggled a bit. I used to play it for many years, and everyone always looks at me funny when they find out. Glad I’m not the only one out there who enjoys a bit of WoW now and then!
I’m somewhat of a closet WoW-er myself. No one can really believe that I play 😆
Oatmeal is the BEST! I’m sorry your day was rough. Always know that we are here for you no matter what! 🙂
Oh man, I do NOT handle dealing with sick pets very well… AT ALL. I’m a huge animal lover and my pets are usually one of my closest family members. In fact, when one of my parrots died over 2 years ago, it made my ED so much worse… I felt so alone when my bird died. It was a very dark time for me, and to this day, it’s hard to think about. When the bird that I have now got sick a few times recently, it was extremely rough to deal with as well…
So I completely understand how you feel right now… it’s so important to think positive thoughts though. I truly believe there’s some sort of energy that can radiate through and be passed along! So keep your little doggie in your prayers and have faith, girl!
Top 3 songs? Oh man… I’m starting to revert back to the old stuff that I liked… Spice Girls, and old school Britney Spears…. hahaha. ANYWAY…. foods I eat a lot of? Fruits (grapes, apples, bananas, cantaloupe) and chocolate!
We lost what will probably always be our best dog in 2007 and thinking about it STILL brings tears to my eyes.
aww i hope everything goes well with the pup. I know that is not fun to deal with but I’m sure they are taking amazing care of him!!
🙁 So sorry to hear about Kaiah! I hope everything will be okay and you two will be reunited tomorrow. Crossing my fingers everything is okay!
Ketchup is definitely one of my favorite condiments. As much as I love fries, sometimes I have to say the ketchup makes the fries! It’s just that goooood!
I don’t know that I eat any foods too much in particular. I eat almost the same foods everyday, so i guess I eat them a lot?
I don’t think I’ve turned on my itunes in months so I have no idea what my top three songs are. But i think its about time to find out 🙂
Just hope for the best while expecting the worst. It just makes any news good news. I hope your doggie is okay! I wish we got another after my dog passed away but we never did. My moms a bit stubborn in that area. :-/
Top 3 songs… I think they’d be all by Brand New, most likely… Maybe Jimmy Eat World – “The Middle” is thrown in there.
I am absolutely addicted to oatmeal. Hands down. I crave it all the time… Just ate some actually. 🙂
And I never got into WOW, thank god. Call of Duty and Counter Strike definitely consumed my high school life. Along with Kingdom Hearts for PS2. I miss those days.
Hehe I never got into CS. A friend of mine tried to drag me into it, but the way some people play seriously scared me off. Temper much?
WoW = <3.
Horde or alliance? :]
Also, ketchup is amazing. Best condiment ever.
I hope Kaiah is okay! I'm sure she will be, but any sort of ailment with an animal is so hard. :[ Hope your day tomorrow is better.
Alliance primarily, but I play both sides 🙂
Booooo for your bad day. That sucks, man. Tomorrow is another day though!
Oh my darlin, I am SO sorry to hear about your doggy! It breaks my heart to pieces whenever there is something wrong with one of my dogs. They are like my children/best friends! I am sending you much love, light, prayers and blessings. Hoping with all my heart that everything goes well and turns out alright <3
Oh girl, GIRL! I am SO sorry!!! If my fur babies were sick, I would be a MESS! My heart goes out to you and your puppy… hoping and praying everything will be ok!
Your dog is PRECIOUS. I hope everything is okay! Worrying about dogs is almost harder than worrying about people. Keep your head up girl!
Oatmeal, cereal, and salsa are things I eat wayyyyy too much of. *hopefully* my taste buds never tire of those beautiful foods.
Sending you good thoughts!!! Looked like a fun survey though <3
I hope your dog is better by tomorrow! I would say “poor thing”, but I don’t really know what is going on. I am so sorry.
When I am depressed I eat way to much chocolate. Fine. I eat a lot of chocolate in general. Too much in general? That is debatable. 🙂
My top 3 songs would be Empty Chairs at Empty Tables from Les Mis, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, and Dream A Little Dream of Me both by Michael Buble. Musicals, Jazz, and Christmas music are my thangs!
A girl after my own heart– dodgeball AND oatmeal!?
I’m so sorry about Kaiah. I know how difficult it can be to have trouble with a sick animal <3 I will be praying for you, girlie.
M’yes. Dodgeball and oatmeal. But preferably not together 😆 Thanks hun <3
So sorry about your dog 🙁 When my dog was sick it was just such a horrible time for me.
And yea I definitely eat a bit too much oatmeal and cereal 🙂
When my loved ones are sick, I just make sure they know I’m there for them. Hope tomorrow is a better day for you 🙁
I’m so sorry to hear about your baby girl. My thoughts are with her! It’s so hard having an animal be sick. 🙁
I eat too much bread…and pasta…and just carbs. There I said it. Whatevs, I love the stuff!
I can’t believe dodge ball was your favorite. I HATED that game and would avoid going any where near that ball at all costs 😛
Sorry about your puppy. My dog and I are so close that I can’t imagine him getting sick or going to the vet overnight. Fingers crossed Kiah can get through this. *HUGS*
Sorry you had such a rough day- im praying that everything is OK with Kaiah! I adore animals and when a pet is sick its like a family member is ill! Hang in there!
Loved the answers to your survey – you can never eat too much oatmeal or dessert in my book!
p.s. – i too hate shoes ! Thats what i love most about the summer – walking barefoot in freshly moved grass!
I hate it when animals suffer. It is even harder when it is your own little buddy. I know what it’s like and I hope Kaiah is better soon, running around your backyard.
Yay for Godsmack! I keep listening to them every now and then. My iTunes is a lonely place with 2 CDs and 5 other songs inside but my Last.fm profile says that I am listening to Plumb, Evanescence and Poets of the Fall quite a lot.
Oh girlie I’m so sorry about your lovely doggy! I don’t handle my dogs being sick well. At all. Any time I see anyone (or thing) in pain, I can feel it. Such a strange sensation. I hate to watch anyone suffer! My dogs are getting old, and I’m so nervous something could happen to them!
I eat a lot of… well, you know. Oatmeal. HAHA!
GIRRRLLLL we still haven’t done our in-game meet-up! We must get on that! I’ve lost… years to that game. Years. But I enjoyed the heck out of every second! Perhaps too much? Eeep.
Sending you lots of love and love to your pup, I know everything will be ok , saying prayers : )
Love the godsmack on the playlist, love them!
So cute u still have that stuffed animal from that long ago!
Love ya girl!! Xoxo
Prayers for Kaiah! Oh no…feel better bright feather.
LOVE the “food you eat too much of”
I LOVE your taste in music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Yes, that many exclamation marks were needed.)
Sorry about your puppy. I hope she’s okay. =[
I’m so sorry about your dog, love! I hope everything is ok! When my pets and loved ones are sick, how I handle it depends on how sick they are. However, to the outside world I usually look like I’m handling it better than I am on the inside. I tend to keep things bottled up. I definitely eat a lot of oatmeal :), cereal, nut butter, greek yogurt, apples, bananas, and broccoli!
Yay! More surveys! Three most played songs on my iPod are Bleed it Out by Linkin Park, Collide by Howie Day and Cotton Eye Joe! 🙂 🙂
I eat too much nut butter and chocolate – but I don’t see anything wrong with it!
!! Cotton Eye Joe! Haha omigosh I remember rockin’ out to that song. Love it! 😀
This is SO neat! I just love reading surveys 🙂
I’m so sad to hear about your pup, I’ll be praying for your beautiful Kaiah! I get oober sad when my pets are sick, I can’t bear to see them in pain.
Top 3 songs–all Keith Urban haha 😀
Foods I eat a ton of–cottage cheese, sunbutter, apples, broccoli YUM!!!
Love these surveys!!! Definitely gotta fill this one out! And I love your answer for “what food do you eat to much of?” BRILLIANT!
You and Kaiah are in my thoughts, keep your chin up:)
There are a LOT of foods that I eat a lot of- cottage cheese , bananas, COOKIE DOUGH BALLS, butternut squash…ill stop cos this list could get looooong.
My hair is always a messy bun thrown on top of my head- clearly that style is where its at.
I basically like your stereotypical pop music. Lots of Lady Gaga, The Wanted, Katy Perry- think cheezy!
Xxx
I’ve had Katy Perry’s ET stuck in my head for like a week now. I just find myself randomly starting to sing it throughout the day. Good thing I like it 😉
I don’t handle it well, but I guess I handle it as well as anyone else. I’m sorry your baby’s sick. Good luck taking your mind off of it until you can find out more.
Interesting survey – I’ve never heard anyone use the “ketchup” answer before.
Strangely enough, my kitten just took a high fall off the balcony this morning, and had to be taken to the vet. He’s on pain medication now, but luckily he’s okay. He lost those fun balcony privileges, though. I hope everything with Kaiah turns out alright. If you need someone to vent to, you can always email me!
Foods I eat a lot of…apples, peanut butter, cereal, the same vegan takeout from the same place alllll the time (and I wonder where my money goes…), Larabars, hummus, gluten-free English muffins, brown rice bread. The list could go on forever! I’m such a repetitive eater.
Oh Amanda, I’m so sorry. I lost my precious dog suddenly last year and it was so so hard 🙁 I hope your pup is okay!
Oh, no – you’ve got me worried about your girl now! I am crossing my fingers that everything works out just fine and that she is a-ok. I know how scary and stressful it is for our babies to be sick! Thinking of you two!
So sorry to hear about your baby–sending positive thoughts your way!
I find it so weird that people can be so attached to ketchup. I have never liked it. Ever. But when I was younger I put Bull’s Eye barbeque sauce on everything. I have to admit though, I tend to avoid all condiments now (the ED-controlled part of me feels it’s a waste of calories).
I used to feel that way too, but they just make meals so much more tasty and satisfying.
Lately I’ve been eating a lot of yogurt, quesadillas, chocolate, and bananas. (but not all together). 😉 I’ve been in kind of a cooking slump, but maybe that’s cause it’s summer and I don’t want to spend much time cooking.
I hope Kaiah’s better soon!
I hope everything is alright with Kaiah! I’m loving your top songs, I’ve got them playing now, and since no one else is the house I got them blasting and I’m about to go dance in the kitchen. It’s quite a stress reliever, if you need something more to distract yourself, you should try it 🙂
Oh man, I feel your sorrow with the vet situations. Having rats is my love and passion, but they live so much less than we do and are susceptible to so many health problems. Vinny, for instance, has been in the vet for a neuter, surgery for an abscess on his jaw, severe lice, and dermatitis. Other arts I’ve had have had similar multiple health issues– my theory is that they have been tested on by humans so much that it makes them more susceptible to more health conditions. I really hope Kaiah will be ok– just keep eating the pudding and almond butter and everything will work out!
My current three favorite songs is…… Sari by Nellie Mckay, Marry the Night by Lady gaga, and On the Floor by JLo :OOPS: (as much as I wished I didn’t like pop music, I do! It’s really motivating on bike rides and runs!)
Hehe I’m more into heavier music myself, but I can’t deny that pop songs really get the blood pumpin’.
Were you saying you watch Pinky and the Brain?
I havent listened to Godsmack in forever. Man I love resdiscovering old bands you use to like.
You know what I just realised… I dont have kethchup in my pantry.
I KNOWWW! WTFF?
I didnt even notice, until now.. I think when I moved into this place and did the big shop, i forgot about it. :S
Top 3 songs, thing is, my itunes was recently reupdated, so my top 3 arent even my faves 🙁
The Shins – Girl on the Wing
Hockey – Fake
The Bird Day – Gonna Beg you
I’m sorry to hear about Kaiah, I hope it all gets better 🙂 Sending love and tissues for those tears your way!
Foods I eat a lot of: Greek yogurt, hummus, babaghanouj, parsley (i put it in everything), chocolate chip oatmeal cookie bars, kefir, puffins, peaches, dates
Oh and don’t even get me started about WoW
😯 You play WoW? I never would have guessed! I love coming across girl gamers 😀
Haha I used to in high school, it’s actually ridiculous how much time I spent playing that and other computer games. Girl gamers are the best 😉
