For a week, I have been prepping the cat for the trip home:

• Pulled out his carrier so he could get used to it before I took him to the vet for his checkup
  
• Took him to the vet - and he was unhappy as expected
  
• Bought a new soft carrier for him to travel to Canada on the plane; he did not like it. He even pooped in it this week to show just how much he detested it.
• Drove to Houston and he was mad at me for 2 out of the 3 hour drive, during the last hour, he came out of the carrier and laid on my lap
• This morning, put him in the soft carrier for the flight and he was meowing/complaining on the way to the airport.
• Since I ignored his pleas to take him out, he was mad at me and turned his back to me whenever I tried talking to him

It made me realize that he didn't see the big picture; he complained every step of the way and even got mad at me. What I did was ultimately take him to place that he loves and where is happy and very much loved.

All this frustration, the disappointments, the heart breaks, the failures... they all lead somewhere. I really need to remember that when something doesn't go my way, it's for a reason.  It's all going to work out in the end. I just gotta have faith.

I am SO excited Christmas is only a week away.. December sure did go by pretty quickly. I'm a little sad that this year I am really struggling w/my finances to where I can't buy anyone a gift, not even myself. I hope next year will be better, for me & for everyone else who is also in my shoes. Thank God it's only temporary.. things will look up in due time, it's just a matter of being patient to get through it because WE WILL.. we always do. We had our work Christmas party yesterday afternoon & let me tell you we had FUN! It was held at this place where they had billiards, dart tables & a lot of room for us to have our party. They had good food, our white elephant gift exchange & KARAOKE! I was really pumped up about it because it's been awhile since I got to do karaoke. I did 2 songs, Lady Gaga Paparazzi & Mariah's Obsessed, haha.. good times. I didn't know I was being recorded on video when I did Mariah's song so here's a clip of what they sent me.

Christmas party

I bought candy for my white elephant gift, & I felt bad but I am honestly so broke that that's all I could afford :( I ended up getting a cute photo album though & I thought it was ironic because one of my New Year's resolutions is to print all my photos I have stacked inside my digital camera & put them inside an album. We did a raffle & I won a $25 Barnes & Noble gift card, which was SUPERB because I need to get a good book that I can read on the plane to Paris. So last night I went with Selena & I bought this book called Sarah's Key. It has French history & the novel is fictionalized within it.. it's about a girl who puts her little brother in a bedroom cupboard to protect him because they are Jewish & the police were making arrests in the middle of the night. Then 60 years later, a journalist investigates what happened back in the 40's which linked her to Sarah's story.. so it has a little suspense there. This book has been rated 4 out of 5 stars, so we'll see how it goes, I'm excited to read it. You can see the Eiffel tower very faintly in the background, love it!

I started working out again this week.. so far I worked out 3 times this week & I'm gonna go again tonight. It feels good to get back into my workout routine & I wanna shed at least 20 more lbs. I've been able to keep the weight I lost off, so now it's just a matter of keep going to the gym & watching my diet. I hope everyone has a very fabulous weekend ? XOXO, me ;)
