Excitement

It's not even New Years and I am already starting my resolutions. I have begun the healthy eating process today.  I feel like all the junk i have eaten lately is bringing me down. I feel tired and not all there mentally. So i am excited about committing to my veggies.  I will also start jogging. I love walking and jogging and running but when its 90 degrees with 100% humidity my energy level becomes nonexistent.  So starting today, new experiences will come abound regardless of humidity. 
One of my other resolutions, that i am freaken ecstatic about, is my commitment to move out of South Florida by the end of 2010. Our destination? Seattle!!  Why Seattle?  Well it all started with our trip to Alaska in July. We arrived in Seattle to start our adventure. We stayed there a total of 3 days and loved it. I do have to admit that those days were completely sunny days so our views might be a bit biased.  J absolutely loved it! I lived in Manhattan for most of my childhood so i always had a love for the city.  Since visiting Seattle we both decided that was exactly where we wanted to be.
So the one and most exciting resolution that we just cant wait to start, is that of financially preparing to move the heck out of Florida...asap!
For excitement and motivational purposes, I will post pictures i took while in Seattle July of 2009.

And finally Rufus

This silly guy is Mellow's son. He is a wonderfully annoying cat. Annoying in the sense that he never lets up when he wants something. He has this idea that running sink water is the only water good enough for him. Where he got that from i do not know.

Maybe i thought it was cute when he started drinking the running water from the sink while i was brushing my teeth. Maybe i thought it was adorable how he waited by the door for me to go to the bathroom and turn the sink on for him. Maybe i also thought how smart my cat was to wake me up by meowing on my bed and then running to the sink to let me know he was ready for his water. Well after a couple of years i can honestly say, it is no longer cute.

I still love him just the same but now it has become an issue. Sometimes i wonder whether he drinks any water besides his precious sink water. Mellow drinks from her dish and has never shown any desire for this sink water. Not Rufus. He will watch you and stalk you and meow you to death until you get your lazy butt up and turn on the sink. When his litter box is beyond his means he will howl from the bedroom until you clean his litter so he can go. When you are folding clothes he will insist on laying on your clean clothes and if you don't like it then fold elsewhere. Mellow, well is mellow. She doesn't want much but to be brushed as much as possible. That is her only demand.

Yet i can't imagine a day without them. Life is 10 times better with my fellow fur friends.
