Better Late than Never, right?

Sorry everyone. Summer is busy, even for a gal like me with no actual place of employment. I've been taking care of the little kitty and he is growing like a weed. He just finally got off the bottle one week ago and has been on KMRs weaning formula. He was "behind" since he missed the bonding of his mama so he wanted to bottle feed a little longer for the cuddles and attention. Not that he gets less now! He is a sweet little boy - when he is not running around like a nut! We may keep him, we may give him up. I just have to decide if that person is trustworthy to care for him properly (ie take him for his shots, get him neutered, etc) Its hard to trust someone who has adopted and then taken back a kitten after a short time. Any advice on that?

Getting back to what I was originally posting about: the red, white and blue swap was AWESOME! I swapped with one of the twins from The Two Twins. Oh my goodness my box was filled with wonderfully awesome goodies.I know, you're jealous right? You totally need to get in on the next swap! And dummy me found more stuff I missed in the box the next day (no pics of them, sorry) Yep all the stuff above plus 3 yummy smelling candles and 3 lipglosses. Can a girls day get any better than this?
In case you can't see in the pic, there is also a book called Seven Loves (perfect for reading in the hammock!), a locally put together cook book (they are the best kind imho), three boxes of special K bars (red white and blue!), the cutest purse with an anchor keychain (been using this from the day I got it, LOVE it, THANKS!), and a bottle of white wine from their local winery. She was so right about it, sweet and fruity and awesome if sipped ghetto style with some ice. Wonder if I can get that anywhere around here? This was another awesome swap Mamarazzi! Hope to participte again in the future! And a huge THANK YOU to my partner! You truly rock!
