Mr. Reese

 There's another new member of my parents family, Mr. Reese, named after the man from Person of Interest if you've ever seen that show. Mr. Reese wasn't always named Mr. Reese. Previously he was named Mikey. He also didn't start out with my family. 

See, Mr. Reese was previously adopted by my sister, off Craigslist. She hid him in her dorm room. Since some dorms barely allow fish, much less cats, Mr. Reese ended up at my parents house. My parents have never had a cat before, since my mom is allergic. They've always had dogs. Yet, here Mr. Reese is. 
Thankfully, I don't have to live in the house while everyone adjusts to his presence. It's been rough from what I've heard. Remi has been simultaneously excited and scared of him. She tries all day long to sniff him, but he will have none of that. The first time I saw Mr. Reese, he was swatting Remi in the face. I was actually quite impressed by his speed, and mad at him for hitting the dog. The last time I visited, Mr. Reese would let Remi sniff him once, but if she kept trying she'd get swatted again. Mr. Reese has taken up sitting in Remi's favorite spot on the couch, which she doesn't like as seen above. 
He also loves my dad, which is pretty funny. 

When he was first here, my sister let Mr. Reese outside, not thinking that he would hop the fence. He did, and was gone all day. We were all pretty sure that he was gone. Surprisingly he came home though at 9:30 and scratched on the door. He has to be pretty smart, since  he hadn't even been at my parents house for a day. 
I'm allergic to Mr. Reese, which stinks since I like visiting my parents house, and I don't want to make my mom vacuum every time I come over. Mr. Reese and Remi follow me around when I visit, and I had to stop this fight from happening. Every time Mr. Reese hisses I jump, since I'm not used to that noise.

It's funny growing up with dogs and then watching a cat. He has such an attitude and thinks he rules the place. He loves to snuggle though, but gets mad if you mess up his hair. Mr. Reese is still growing on me. I honestly can not believe that my parents have a cat. That was just an impossibility, yet here it is. Oh, life.

Fake

I feel like a lot of times when going through blogger, I'm always pushing the boundaries a bit. A lot of blogs seem to always be happy and awesome and they just won this free product from someone and it's great! And then, I'm over here in my little corner of the blogosphere wondering, hey, should I actually write about this? Is this something that you just pretend like it never happens? Am I the only one this happens to? My favorite moments are when I find someone cutting down those walls and sharing what life is actually like. That they have zits. That they don't have the perfect relationship and baby. That they've struggled with mental health. That they're secretly gross like me. (I took a quiz on buzz feed about how secretly gross are you, and I got pretty gross. In the guise of not being fake, I am sharing this fact with you all!) When I find those blog posts, I instantly feel a connection with that person and will automatically follow them on their life j...

Liebster-ing it up!

Funny story. A few days ago I was reading all the blogs I follow like I usually do. And of course I read  Jana's  blog and read about how she had won the Liebster award. I had no idea what it was, so I read her post full of fun facts, and for everyone I kept nodding my head going, I DO THAT TOO! Then today I re-read her blog, and realized that she'd nominated me for the Liebster award as well! It was a very exciting moment. Thank you! So I guess this is how it works, I think, I'm new to this whole thing. I totally just stole this off Jana's blog ;) "The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say 'you're doing a great job.' It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it's also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs & get them more readers/ followers! When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated y...

Christmas Lights

It’s funny having a baby and then trying to do things. I’ve noticed over the last year that I’ve gotten an I Can’t do that sort of attitude. We can’t do that because Aaron will cry and we’ll get cranky and so on. I’m really trying to work on that.  My anxiety out in public is much worse too. Now I have two people to protect not just myself. The library definitely changed how I look at places and I wish it hadn’t.  Sammy really wanted to go to a Christmas village downtown but I was too overwhelmed by all the logistics. So we compromised and went to one near us. It was so much fun! It was cold out but not too too bad. Aaron loves looking at the Christmas lights at our apartments, and he really loved these ones. It was so much more fun trying to look at these things through his eyes.  He was also fascinated by the mini Santa and Mrs. Clause at grandma’s house.  I’m so glad we went and can’t wait to go next year when he’s walking:)
