Throwback Thursday: Cats

It's Throwback Thursday, and I would like to reminisce on all the cats I've owned, met, and forcefully snuggled. 

My oldest cat, named Cloe, has been diagnosed with diabetes. She's 15 years old and her quality of life has declined to the point where we've decided that a humane euthanasia is the best option for her. So, as a kind of tribute to Cloe, here's 10 throwback kitty photos.

The only friend I made while visiting Italy was this cat:

Tank and Savannah being cute:

My Dad and I visited our cowboy friend, and all the animals (including Jake the beast-cat) couldn't get enough attention from him:

The tiger on my dad's lap is named Jake, and he beat the shit out of a coyote once.

Tank and Boyfriend having their snuggle time:

When I cuddled Bill, Boyfriend's brother's cat (her name is actually Belle, but she meows like a grouchy old many so Bill is her spirit name).

 

Taking a selfie with my little niece Savannah:

My cats, Annie (left) and Cloe (right) back when they actually got along (sort of).

This weird hairless cat that showed up at the barn one day: 

I'd also like to mention that this cat also had painted nails. Pink. Pink claws.

Boyfriend, his buddy and I went on a road trip last summer. We stopped in a town called Field and we met a new friend that liked to stand on our shoulders:

And all those times Annie tried to trick us into thinking she's cute...

Throwback Thursday on Friday

I know it's Friday, but after discovering Facebook's new "memories" feature, I'm having a throwback Thursday. Because apparently Thursday is the designated day of the week for reminiscence. I'm poking through ancient Facebook albums, from my University of Calgary days and beyond. 
Care to join me? 

Who is Ross and why are there library books on his project shelf? 

That time my alarm clock told me to have a good day

When I drew Klaus the Nazi goldfish in my German Language textbook...

Patrick and I were toy car shopping at Toys R Us when we found this beaut:

The day I joined the Porn Industry: 

When I went loopy for fruit loops

The worst photo shoot in history...

Humiliating Scooter. Again.

Throwback Thursday: Who's That Chick?

Hello, pretty people! How is everyone today? 

I've been stuck in this rut these past couple weeks. I've been in quite a bit of pain, as my endometriosis has flared considerably. I feel unattractive and just so very bleh. Every morning I look at myself in the mirror like: 

Really. I'm somewhat convinced that I'm gross and old and doomed to be sore for the rest of forever. How downer is that? Pathetic, really. 

I reached a new low today when I paid $206 for Botox at the pharmacy. Yes, Botox. My specialist wants to botox my tummy, because apparently that will help with my chronic allodynia. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that those injections will freeze the nerves enough to provide me with some relief. It had better... that was pretty expensive and I'm far from rich. 

I totally fell of the wagon when it came to my diet, and recently I've been inspired to go back on said diet. For a number of reasons. First and foremost, I stumbled upon this picture of me from a couple of years ago, when I was studying at the University of Calgary:

I miss my hair. And my body.

My jaw dropped when I saw how skinny I was. I miss that body, quite a bit. I took that photo when I was trying on new sweatpants. I obviously couldn't find a pair that fit. 

Not only do I miss that body, but I miss that hair. It was so long! And so red! So very #ThrowbackThursday

Unfortunately that photo was taken at a time when I was severely heartbroken and unhealthy. I was that skinny because I was undergoing treatment for my endometriosis which had me bleeding heavily for months on end, and I was so weak I would faint while going up and down the stairs. 

So obviously I don't want to look severely ill again. But I would certainly like to slim down and get down to 105lbs.

I would also love to have that long hair again! I'm in the process of growing mine out right now (slowly but surly) and I'm dying it cherry red again on Saturday. How exciting.

Throwback Thursday

Good evening, readers! How are you beautiful people doing today? 

So those of you who are on the twitter are likely familiar with "Throwback Thursday." 
I am a nostalgic type of person and I'm always happy to look at old photos and reminisce about the "good old days."

Of course I'm also not too sure what I want to "throwback" to today. After some thought, I decided to show my hamster's baby photos. 

Oh my god that sounds so lame. My hamster's baby photos????

*ahem*

Really though, not much else comes to mind and Sunny's baby photos are really the only "old" things I have on this laptop. Realistically this is so not "old" (Sunny is hardly even 2 years old), but he's damn cute and I freaking love rodents. So alas, I shall blog my hamster photos. 

If you're a rodent fanatic like me you'll probably enjoy this. 

We were excited new parents taking this little baby home! (may 2013) Look at those dumbo ears!

Oh god those photos bring me so much joy. I love my little munchkin. Weeheehee! 

Cheers!
