3 more days!!

I was kindly reminded yesterday that I am a bad blogger! I intend to be more compliant once I have more exciting news to blog about!

Any-who... I am almost ready for my big move! I have painted my walls back to original color (boring!), sold my desk, and am about 1/2 packed. Last night was my "farewell" party with all the friends that I have met over the past year and nine months! We all had a lot of fun and I am definitely playing for that today! I was very happy to catch up with those I have not seen in a while and obviously pleased to see the regulars!

The next couple days... well weeks, actually… are going to be pretty crazy! I will be working the next 3 days and spending my free time packing. My mom flies into DFW on Wednesday, Thursday I send out my things and Thursday night we begin the drive. We should be in Asheville by Saturday.

I have several places lined up to visit for prospective housing. I am really looking for a house renting month-month until I figure out where I ultimately want to be. I am hoping to find a house share that has a yard and is suitable for my kitties! Speaking of Luca and Lola... they have no idea what’s coming!! I keep telling them that it is going to get worse (car ride) before it gets better! They are really in for an adventure!!

Well that is all for now! My next blog will be coming from Asheville!!

Ninja Cat

Okay.. So, this video has nothing to do with "my adventures" but I just love it!!

"Ninja Cat" has been floating around on YouTube for a while now. I was reminded of it today after my cat Lola was doing something similar! To bad I didn't have my camera aimed and ready... darn!

Thanks for following...

Kitty Travel-Hotel

So.. I am planning to move here in the up-coming weeks. I will begin my 16 hour drive from Dallas, TX to Asheville, NC on July 16th. I am excited for the move but am a little intimated by the drive with my two cats! This will not be the first time for one of my kitties, Luca! He made the long drive with me to TX from OH. We did not quite make the entire trip in one day as I had planned, but we got very close! Luca, my car and I were all very tired (just 3 hours from our destination) when I decided to stop for the night! Anyways…. Now, I have two cats and will be attempting a similar trip again. This time I have constructed a "kitty traveling hotel" which is the purpose of my first blog.

Originally, the idea was to construct something large enough to hold both cats but small enough to fit into my Honda Civic. The project went from a patchwork of cardboard to my masterpiece! See, I love crafts and color… So, I couldn't allow a simple cardboard box sit in my back seat. Next thing I knew I was spray-painting and on my way to Hobby Lobby! After the paint had dried, I sewed one side of the fabric to the cardboard box then used Velcro to anchor the rest. The fabric covers part of the box and secures the door. I wanted to use fabric to allow a little light in and for air ventilation. I also found a little rug for only $2 to place on the bottom!! Once the final assembly was complete, I was very impressed with myself!! :) As of right now... I would have to admit that my cats could really care less about the design!! However, I am still hoping this little contraption will make my kitties feel secure during the journey.
