The Sneezy Kitty

So, I would love to tell you guys a story. Once upon a time there was a kitty cat named Onyx. He loved to get all the attention (Just like any other cat) but he also loved remotes and cell phones.
Haha, okay so maybe this isn't a story. I would really like to introduce you to Onyx.

I'm not sure if I've introduced you guys to him, but this picture basically explains Onyx. He loves to get in the way. In this picture my roommate was trying to set up an old school gaming system that was in that box. He made himself comfortable, and it made the best photo opportunity. 

Onyx is quite the character. If it's just him and I in the apartment when I take a shower, this happens: 

 

If you can't tell, he's perfectly comfortable with making sure that he owns the apartment. Sometimes when I finish showering he'll hop in and sit in the wet tub like it's comfortable. Of course, then he will sit on furniture and leave wet fur prints. Cats, am I right? 

He likes to go outside on our little deck, but the funny thing is that once he tried to escape and he ended up sitting on the sidewalk meowing for someone to save him from his misfortune. He really doesn't know how to escape, and both Sam and I have decided that if he somehow escaped into the hallway it would take him mere minutes to turn around and come back in. 

The last fun fact I have is that he snores. He will spend hours curled in a ball asleep, but sometimes when I'm writing in the silent apartment I can hear his little snores. I've decided that if he was a human he would be a lovable asthmatic who sneezes all the time and snores like a lion. 

So now you guys have met Onyx. Do any of you guys have animals whom you adore with adorable personality quirks? If so, post a comment and if you have a picture post that with a tale about their quirks and I will post all of the fun stories for the world to read. 

Love you guys! Off the be crazy!

Are you a Yuccie?

Hi guys! So I wasn't really planning on blogging again for another few days, but I came across this article: http://mashable.com/2015/06/09/post-hipster-yuccie/ and I was immediately intrigued. (If you are going to read this article, beware of strong language)
Basically, the author describes how hipsters are out, and "yuccies" are in. The interesting thing is I think there should be a term for those of us who are going to have a career path but still feel like they could be creative in other aspects of our lives. In other words; multi-taskers. People who are comfortable with their career path but also want to be able to exercise other types of creativity so they feel... in control, I suppose is the only way to explain it. So, what to we call these kinds of people, people like me and people like others who I know are like me. I think there would be several words, but I think I need your guys' ideas. So, it's your turn! What do you call non-yuccie yuccies? On the other hand, are any of your guys Yuccies? People who want to be creative but don't take a certain career path, instead they just kinda float from creative thing to creative thing, no matter the salary. :)
Alright guys, back to doing what I'm supposed to be doing; writing.
See ya!

Childhood comfort foods

Hi guys! 

This morning I have an interview, so I decided to eat something slightly more substantial than cereal. I ended up staring at my fridge for a solid ten minutes before I even decided what sounded good. 

When I was a kid, this used to be my go-to egg breakfast item, and as I've grown older I've had to learn how to make it correctly. In my house we call them egg-in-a-holes. 

Ta-da! I've finally figured out how to perfect it. This recipe may seem simple, and it is if you don't care whether you end up with a soft or hard yolk. The way to end up with the perfect yolk that you can spread across the toast is easier than I thought. 

First, heat up the pan with butter on it until the butter is sizzling, then lay down the piece of toast with a hole cut out and the piece of toast that's from the middle onto it. The little piece should not be in the middle. Make sure that the pan is hot, then turn it down when you can smell it toasting, and crack an egg in the middle. With the stove on low the toast won't burn too badly, but the egg will have a chance to cook. When the egg looks partly cooked, flip it and let it cook for another three or four minutes. Then it's done and you end up with this! It's so good, and if you pop the yolk you can spread it over all of the toast. 

So you guys, do you have anything that you love from when you were a kid that you still love to eat? I would love to hear all about it in the comments! 

Hope you are all having a good summer!

Oh boy!

Wow guys I haven't written since August 9th! I'm apologizing now because it has taken a lot to get used to the crazy of college. Luckily, I made it and this time I'm not going to stop blogging. I promise. 

So this summer I'm staying in my college town-Hastings with this guy (Onyx) and an awesome roomie (Sam). 

I'm also spending the summer with a really cool kid I'll refer to as Z. He and I have had some crazy times already and it's only the start of June. We made a volcano out of a mason jar, hung out with some lazy cats and crazy dogs....

...and we also made this ridiculously amazing cake. All it took was a box cake mix, three eggs, and a pint of ice cream. 

Z decided on chocolate ice cream and Funfetti cake mix. If you don't know what Funfetti is, that is something you need to go out and spend the money on because it is magic in a box. Or maybe a party in the box. Whelp, either way is important to try this stuff because it's awesome! The recipe ended up really good and if anyone wants it feel free to comment because I have a link with the baking instructions that I am more than willing to give out but I'm too lazy to dig it up right now. 

Alright, so I swear I'm back to posting regularly from now on! Love you guys!

Viggle

Hi guys! Have u guys tried the app Viggle? Ok I know I'm not normally one for promoting apps but basically you get points for watching tv and listening to songs. I would recommend it so much because then u can chose prizes with the points! And yes, this is a pathetic excuse for a Saturday blog post. 

Love you guys!

College packing

Hi guys! Sorry, this week is going to be a short post but I have been buying and packing for college these last two days and I have managed to create a large stash of college stuff in my room. I have everything I need, and possibly more than I need. So, I have a question for you. If you could take one thing with you if you were moving somewhere for a long time, what would you bring? That would be a really hard decision for me since I have already been overpacking. 

Also, and this is a more relevant question, would you guys like me to make a Facebook page for my blog? Thanks y'all!

Teddies, Teddies everywhere.

  Hello everyone! Wow, okay I guess I'm being formal. Maybe I should change it. Sup y'all? Nope, now I'm nuts. Hmmm. Okay well I think I'll just skip the greeting part. Anyway, we've been back from vacation for a few days now and my back is not killing me as much, which is fabulous because I want to tell you all about my collection!
All right, so I am 18 years old. At this age, most people my age don't really like stuffed animals. Sure, they may have a few, but I am not like any of those people. I collect teddy bears, and I have collected them since I realized I had accidentally started a collection that I wanted to continue. I was probably 13 when I figured this out, but it does not stop there.
Currently, my grand total of teddy bears is 81. Should I be proud? Probably not, but the thing is every bear I have has a story. And every teddy bear has a special spot in my room. Each is unique in every way. I have brown bears, white, pink, blue, green, even rainbow colored. They each are soft or hard, and I even have a paper one (weird, I know, but it's from part of Disney world and it was free so totally work it).
I'm pretty sure I am coming off as a rich, spoiled girl right now, am I right? The thing is, though, no one person got these bears for me. My friends know I collect them, so for birthdays or Christmas they give them to me as gifts. A few are souvenirs from places my friends have been. A bunch are ones I have saved up for and spent my own money on. I always save a little money if I'm going on a trip, and I buy souvenir teddy bears from different places we go (If you have a gift shop and no souvenir teddy bears then you automatically get a frowny face from me. You would be surprised how many places don't have souvenir teddy bears.). Some are even bears that I received as a hand-me-down that people no longer cared about. I once found a perfectly good teddy bear that someone had ripped up and one of the arms was missing.I took it home and sewed it up, no arm and all. Now he sits like a prince on one of my bear shelves.
Okay, so now it is your turn! What do you collect? Is it small? Big? I'm curious, so comment!
See you Wednesday!

(Some quick pics of my bears. I wasn't kidding when I said I have a lot)
