Not sure what to do...

Hello all.
Okay even though I haven't been on Bloggers for very long I am loosing enthusiasm to keep it going.  I would like your thoughts.  Any thoughts for that matter to keep it going for longer.  I do... well did Japanese word of the day and fact of the day, but with me putting a hold on the blog for a week while I didn't have my computer, and now I haven't been able to get back into it right now.  Lets just say I think I have writer's block that is why I only put videos on it.  I enjoyed putting them up but the one I thought was most fun was the post of our kitties here.   I really got into it at the beginning while putting a post on everyday.  Now with being at a job a lot of the time and being in front of a computer all day.  I don't really want to be in front of it at home.
Anyway this is my thoughts on it at the moment.  I don't think I will close it until the new year if I don't figure a way to get my muse back for it.

Getting in the Spirit early

Hello
With all the Snow that we have here in Ottawa I am actually getting into the Christmas Spirit early.
When I worked in food or retail in the past, as soon as Halloween finished and out came the Christmas decorations.  It bugged the hell out of me.  Especially when working in the Mall all you see is the decorations and they have Christmas music going  from opening to closing.  Now a days its not to bad because I go to those places when I want to and not when I have to work or anything.

I am also looking forward to spending some of December in Southern Ontario with my parents.  I am leaving next week early in the morning.
Anyway for some people that want to get into the spirit here is a clip of one of my favourite Christmas Movies.
White Christmas with: Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney, and Vera-Ellan.  

I have to say this movie is in my top 10 favourites Christmas movies.

Everything is thrown off...

Good Morning all.
Wow it's been such a busy week so far.  I know we are in the weekend, but we have some company coming for tomorrow and we need to get the house ready.  At least the downstairs part.  There is never an ending to the cleaning we need to do.
I just wanted to say that yes I am still around, and I will post every now and then.  If I work I don't want to be in front of a computer while I am home, and I worked all week.
I know that today is normally the Japanese word of the day, but since I haven't been around all week I am going to put on something different.
Here is a sound that helps get me going if I don't have to much energy in the morning.
Called: SandStorm by: Darude
Was released  in 2000.

Hope this helps you to move this morning.

Hope everyone has a good day.  I will try to post tomorrow.

Japan Fact of the day.

Hello all.  I had a full days work today, and I am going to be working all week but I will try to get a post on everyday if I can.
I did a little research and I found out that Japan has up to 6,852 islands.
It is really hard to tell but most of them are very small and more on the south end of Japan.
Here is a map that I found.

Have a good night everyone.

I'm Baaack!

Hello everyone.
It has been awhile since I have posted.  I finally got my computer back on Friday and I wanted to go through some photos that we have found.  This post is going to have a lot of pictures of another favourite of mine. They are the cats of the house here.
We currently have 3 1/2 cats.... Wait I will explain the half part.  You see once in awhile we take care of the cat next door when the family is out of town. So when he wants any food or a nap he comes here and stays for awhile until we bring him home for the night.  It really depends on the weather here.  If it is cold or rainy, or even both he stays here most of the day.
Hence the reason why we have a half a cat. :P.
The following pictures will be of the cats.  On unfortunately don't have a picture of our oldest cat.  She is sixteen years old and just is becoming very skinny.  We are not sure how much longer she is going to go for. She went from being I don't know maybe 16 to almost 20 pound to about 3.5 pounds.  It is really sad.  Far as we know she isn't in any pain at all so we are doing what we can for her.
While I am at it here is the word of the day in Japanese.
猫 Pronounced as Neko.  Meaning Cat.
Thought that I am talking about cats in this post I thought to add the word of the day here too.
Anyway here are the pictures that I promised.

This one here is Loki.  I got him shortly after I moved on my own.  Now I live with my boyfriend and they have two other cats and the neighbour's cat to deal with now.   He is not really to fond of the other two males that are around. But most of the time he is pretty relaxed here.

 

This huge ball of fur is Little One.  He was this size of your hand when he was a kitten now he is a sixteen pound of fur and muscle, and probably fat too.  He is such a suck and purrs like mad.  He is not a huge fan of Loki moving in and they have their occasional fight for dominates.  Still not sure he is the dominated one yet, and I have been living here for over a year now.


 
 
 

 The one lying with Little one on the bed is Miko.  He is the neighbour's cat that is here every now and then.  These two grew up together so they get along quite well.

 
  This here is Emma I was able to find a picture of her.  Even though its not the best one.  She loves being covered with paper and sweaters but the poor thing got herself caught in the arm of the sweater and couldn't get out.  But you can see how small she is if she can get in the arm of it.
She wasn't happy at all and we got her out soon after this picture was taken.
I hope everyone had a great weekend.

On hold

Hello there just a quick note.  My computer is out of my hands right now, so I am letting everyone know that I am not going to be posting for awhile.  It might be a couple more days until I get it back.  I will try to have an extra big post once I am back on my computer.
Thanks for reading.
