wanted to show off this amazing Garfield piggy bank my friend got me at an antique store! He still has the original sticker on the bottom and is dated 1978

I'm going to feed him pennies so that eventually he is all orange >:-)

Took cat to the vet because I was afraid he was going to have to be put down. Told vet everything I knew was going on. Vet looked over cat and told me it was much worse than I knew. Had to say goodbye to my cat. He was almost 18 Even though I knew it was coming it still hurts so much. But I don't feel like I'm betraying him anymore.

I'm Undeniably Falling Deeply In Love With You

For the past three days I've been light-headed. I've been living on cloud 9 thinking of you. I thought it only happened in movies, but I really dreamed of you. I smile at every thought of you. For every time you look back at me, for every smile you give, every second we spend together, I fall deeper in love with you. We hide our emotions from each other so well. But I can feel it deep in my heart that you feel the same. I know deeply that we are meant to be. We had a purpose in each other's life, whatever that may be. But I know with all my heart, you were meant for me, as I was meant for you.

On a Wednesday in the Library

I saw you at the Circulation counter and you were looking for me. I was conversing with a friend while waiting for you to finish talking with the boys at the counter and then come by as usual to see what I'm doing and then leave. But Wednesday was different. As my friend and I finished our conversation, you actually came by at sat with us, sat right in front of me and started conversing with us. That was the day I was finally able to introduce you to at least one of my best friends. You were curious about our conversation, so we gave you summary. You ended up telling us where you work, hopefully we can visit you one day. You were such an attentive listener. My friend had to leave after that, and so it was just you and me. We had so much to talk about. You let me read your paper and asked me for my opinion. You asked for my email, asked me the story behind the name. You wanted my help with brainstorming up ideas for your next paper. It lead us to finding out more things that we had in common like playing Red Alert. Midway through our conversation, your friends saw you sitting with me, the girl didn't seem to care. The guy on the other hand laughed. He came to talk to you for a bit, however he didn't acknowledge me at all. But it didn't bother me. I was still stunned that you actually came and sat with me, for longer than 10 minutes.

You ended up staying with me for a good hour. We found out each other's birthdays. We talked about high school..the college of our choice..how beautiful snow is..good gosh, I loved every second of our conversation! I loved every second you spent with me. Up until the moment you had to leave. Thank you for such a beautiful day. Again, if I could, I love you.

If only you knew...

You Have My Heart on Thursdays

Please stop making my heart melt, for when it melts, my brain has no control over it. You called me for the very first time on Thursday. Prior to your call, I texted you about watching the movie you were hoping for me to watch. I told you that I loved it, even more than The Wizard of Oz. A second later, my phone vibrated in my hand and it was you calling. I freaked out when I saw your name on my caller ID. But I managed to answer. I heard you speak, you were so excited. The happiness in your tone caught me off guard and my heart started pounding faster. We talked about that little worm, started mimiking his lines, laughing together at the monstrosity of the sexually explicit scenes of a children's movie, sharing our horrors of some scenes. And then, the tone of our conversation changed. All of a sudden your voice softened up, and I thought you told me you'd talk to me later. I wondered why the sudden change but I said ok anyway, telling you I'd talk to you later only to find out you weren't talking to me, but your mother. I started to get confused. But you cleared it up, telling me to wait for a bit. As I waited, I overheard your conversation with you, your mother, and your grandmother. I didn't think your voice could get any sweeter, but it did. You spoke to them with such respect, love, and gentleness. At that point, everything that held me from falling head over heels for you went out the window. That was the moment I realized that you were everything I wanted. You were a man that was raised well, respected everyone around you, and yet retained the heart of a child. A family man, willing to hurt anyone who hurts the people you care about the most. You were everything I dreamed of, everything I've prayed for. But can't have. For multiple reasons I'm unable to have you in my arms. To tell you the sweet words I've longed to tell you. As I sit and sulk at the thought of not having you to myself, I am suddenly brought back to your voice at the other end of the line. You started explaining to me the conversation between you and your family. Your grandmother was concerned about your education and financial aid, but it turned out there was no problem. I tried to comfort you that it'll all be fine, so long as you pass your classes. I have faith in you. Anyway, your voice started to get a bit shakey. You asked me if I was still in school. When I told you I went to pick my mother up, you sounded sad. Did you want to see me? You didn't make that known. But you did tell me that you were heading back out and that you needed to find something to fill you up. I said alright, and I thanked you for the movie. The sound of your laughter through the phone warmed my heart. So before I hung up, I told you it was nice talking to you. And again you laughed, and told me the same. As I hung up, I couldn't help but scream like a little girl. In the 10 minutes we took from our day to talk to each other, you have managed to make me realize that I have fallen hard for you, that you have made me felt more alive than ever, and that I wish that whatever we have going on between us would never end. I just wish you would feel the same.
