Between the new kittens, and working over 92 hours this pay period, I am beyond exhausted and haven't been able to find much time to blog.
As it is, I am posting this on my iPad from my bed.
I miss my blog. I miss my followers. I miss reading the blogs I follow. I miss doing product and book reviews. I miss having the time to do any of this.
Starting a second blog was probably a little silly given the circumstances. I just didn't want to bombard people who don't like Disney with a lot of stuff they didn't care about.
I also didn't want to stray away from the general vibe of this blog.
I have been trying to keep up with Facebook and twitter. I am tweeting as @fromlazytolady as well as @ladynwonderland . Please be sure to follow both because my phone has me posting on one while my iPad has be posting on the other.
Facebook is http://Facebook.com/fromlazytolady and http://tinyurl.com/LadyInWonderlandFB ( I don't have enough likes on the second one to customize my URL yet.
I will be doing a Disney or Alice in Wonderland themed giveaway on my new blog http://ladyinwonderland.blogspot.com once the blog, twitter, and Facebook pages all have 100 followers. Please be sure to follow for your chance to win!
Speaking of Alice in Wonderland, the kittens are getting so big! Alice and Dinah have both figured out how to climb the baby gate and I am constantly finding them in the kitchen. This would be fine, except they cannot get back over the gate to get out of the kitchen. Silly kittens. Jasmine seems to be adjusting well, especially now that it seems her first heat is over. Jasmine and Dinah are the best of friends... Or each other's arch nemesis, I haven't figured it out yet.
I chopped my hair off again! I also bought two new shampoos that I cant wait to tell you about so be sure to stay tuned for pictures and product reviews!

Worrying vs. Praying
I just read a post by Julie over at Joy's Hope that was just perfect for how I am feeling right now.
I am a worrier. I always have been, I probably always will be. To prove just how extreme it can be...when I was a young child, elementary school age, I used to sneak out of my bedroom, into my parents' bedroom to check on them and make sure they were breathing. I would have done the same with my brothers but one was in the room next door and his snoring was loud enough to ensure he was alive and well and the other was in the basement. I still avoid the basement after dark.
I find myself doing this in the middle of the night now with Lord Hill and my furbabies.
I cannot shut my brain off. Not only am I a worrier, I am extremely anxious and prone to panic attacks. I'm sure all of this will come up at some point, and I'm all about honestly and they say "write what you know" and well, most of my blogging is about me trying to learn the things that I DON'T know, so in order to make up for that, this is a taste of me.
Anyway, I'm currently worrying about everything under the sun. My parents' health, my dog Diva's health (she stayed with my parents when I moved out) my job, money, whether the new teeth whitening system I'm using is harmful, an odd mole on my arm, the fact that my God daughter just turned 11, my niece will be 16 in a few weeks, whether or not one of the loud planes flying over head is going to land on my builiding... and lots of other things all of which I have no control over. (except for maybe the teeth whitening)
So, what's the point? Why waste all of this time and energy worrying about these things when I can spend some time praying to God and putting it all in His hands and thanking Him/focusing on all of the good that He has given me?
Of course it's all easier said than done. I already pray all the time. I pray and then I worry, and then I pray about the worrying... but for just a few seconds after reading Julie's post I felt at ease/peace and my brain shut up for a moment. It was nice.

Trying Something New...
I try to respond to every comment I get. I love comments, and I love interacting with my followers/readers.
I realized the other day that I rarely go back to a blog I left a comment on to see if the owner replied. It made me wonder if my readers did the same and therefor think I don't respond to them...
So today I replied to the emails I received telling me I had comments. That way you know I saw your comment, and we can continue the conversation if we wanted to.
Is that a good idea? Is that what you do when you get a comment on your blog? I'm still trying to figure all of this stuff out.
And just so this isn't a totally boring post... enjoy a random photo of my boys. Petey the cat likes to look out this window and stare at the birds. Tango the dog likes to pretend he's a kitty (as seen in this post) and so he copies Petey and stares out the window with him. Petey does not enjoy this and gives Tango death stares because well, Tango is a dog, and thinks it's his duty to bark at anything that comes near the building thus scaring away the birds. Note the dirty look the cat is giving the dog.

Bloggity Blog Blog
The main focus of this blog is my journey from who I am to who I want to be. I summed it up in the simplest of terms "from lazy to lady" but there's more to it than that.
I'll be blogging about the chores and the workouts and the things that go along with that but I also want to blog about everything and nothing and let you all in to my world... or maybe help get me out of it a bit.
We'll see what happens.
Thanks for coming along for the ride.
February 2000 - road trip to Myrtle Beach junior year of highschool.

Embarassing but true...
I have never read Catcher in the Rye and I thought JD Salinger was a character from a tv show.
This is coming from someone with straight A's in English through her entire academic career.
What I do know about the book is that Law & Order and other movies and tv shows have used it to show that someone is unstable. Crazy serial killers tend to collect different editions of the book and that tips the cops off.
Have you read it?
