Kittens inspired by KITTENS

Let just all agree that I totally failed making posts this Sukkot. I don't even know why I post stuff like that anymore honestly. My commitment level is soooooo poor. But I thought I'd show ya'll a precious post because I need to procrastinate cleaning my room! Let do dis.

This...... sometime in these months don't hold me on when, our kitty had other precious miniature kitties. Where am I going with this? My cat had kittens. You got it? Cool. Well their pretty darn cute and I needed to point that out to everyone so deal with it. Deal with the cuteness. And the blurry pictures. And the green shag carpet.

Your welcome.

For Narnia!!! (Day Two)


I don't have much to say today, we got rained out of our Sukkah, so we stayed inside and watched the movie Narnia in our PJs.

Popcorn and Coka-Cola was present. Here's an over-edited picture of the beautiful bowl of warm salted kernels made with pure joy, happiness and sunshine. 



Note the strategically placed TV remote.
I tried to take a picture of just the coke and corn but the artist in me was like: "This is not right unless I have threes!!" And now I notice that the remote should have been pointing inwards..... oh well!

Follow, comment, and like!

Since it is yet again in the late hours of the evening, I shall shout into the fleeting autumn wind; Until Tomorrow!

One Hot Sukkah (Day One)

Beginning on September 27th and ending on October 4th in the year 2015 is the Jewish festival Sukkot, known in English as The Feast of Booths or the Feast of the Ingathering. The agricultural festival starts at sundown and it will run for seven days and end on the sunset on October 4th, the day of Tishrei (meaning beginning) is the first month of the Hebrew calendar. I also thought this would be a fun time to post every night so I'll do my best to deliver.

The holiday is held in memory of the Book of Exodus describing how the Israelites traveled for forty years in the Sinai Desert in Egypt before entering the Holy Land. To celebrate, Jews build a structure known as a Sukkah, a replica of the huts that Israelites lived in during the voyage.
You may ask yourself what does a Sukkah typically look like? Well I'll tell you my friend. It's a small wooden structure, which has branches as a roof, it's usually build in yards or on porches, courtyards etc. Most families opt to build their Sukkah from scratch, but some use prefabricated and easy to assemble ones. The insides are typically decorated with harvest vegetables such as corn and dried squash. All meals are to be eaten in the dwelling. During the festival, Jews are instructed to hold four plants: hadas (leaves from a myrtle tree), aravah (leaves from a willow tree), erog (fruit of the citron tree), and lulav (palm frond). The practice is outlined in Leviticus 23:40: "On the first day you shall take the product of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook, and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days."

Though our Sukkah was far from completely correct it was still a great night. We sat in our Sukkah or tent, and looked up at the stars while the three of us, Mom, Dad and me, were squeezed onto a air mattress.

Me and Dad put up the tent and found various fall decor around the yard to make our sukkah a little more authentic. If you notice in the very center of the entrance we have our dried veggie aka a dried hot pepper left over from our garden this year. Dad nicknamed it our One Hot Sukkah... Also notice the cement garden bunnies that we stuck by the door. Along with the strategically placed stick behind them.  
(Please do feel inclined to click on the photos for a enlarged picture.)
 As we laid in the tent together Dad felt the need to point out sumo wrestlers in the clouds to Mom and every now and then sung out, "Total eclipse of the heart!!"





              (What are cats for but to force them to take selfies with you beside your hot Sukkot.)

Since I'm writing this at night on September 27th, I'll write like it. Tonight had a blood moon or a Lunar Eclipse to be more exact, either way the moon turns red. It was crazy awesome! I can still say that the thrill of seeing a red moon is still on me, since my hands are still shaking a little bit.
All I could say as I looked at the moon tonight was; "The moon is red. THE. MOON. is RED." 
"Is it getting darker?? Oh that was cloud never mind." "The moon is red." 

I was (and still am) freaking out, this is a crazy experience that I will never forget!

A picture of the eclipse experience. Obviously not by me.



These are the pictures I got, not quite as magical.




A friend of a friend was able to get a much better picture of the actually red moon, that they posted on Facebook tonight. Look me in the eye and tell me that is not wicked crazy.


Since it's currently 12:15 AM (Sorry Mom :D) I think I'm gonna go. I want to quickly add that this is the 111th post on Your Dose Of Awesomeness! Woohoo!
Like, Comment and Follow and all that good stuff!
(If you want to comment and you came from Facebook just comment on my Facebook post commenting here is a lil complicated.) 

So for the first time since the first months of Your Dose Of Awesomeness, *clears throat* 
Until Tomorrow!

Gatlinburg and Good Mythical Morning

I said that I'd start posting more but I lied. I'm sorry. I can't even really say that I was busy, I've just been sitting on the couch making things like this,


I need a life......... So in between THAT and watching a lot of Doctor Who and Good Mythical Morning. I need to get back used to doing school work and stuff. I should be able to post more. Sigh. I hope that I'll be able to remember to post more... 

We all know that's not happening. LOL ya'll know me way too well for that. 
I did recently go to Gatlinburg with family and I'm still unpacking because who has their life together enough to unpack right away? Not me that's who, it's been like three weeks. 

Here's some pictures for your viewing pleasures,
(We are eating at mellow mushroom)


(That awkward moment when your cousin turns into a cyclopes and half of your head lobs off)


We went to this really weird golf course in a Gatlinburg, it was all black light and neon and circus themed. It was odd.... 












I also found a awesome shop on the strip The Sock Shop. Must I say more?




   
 SLOTHS.



We also went to a mountain coaster at like 11:00 at night. Hints the pitch blackness. 

Welp I don't really have anything else to say....

This is a post

I am someone that I like to find the small satisfactions in life. I like to make a strangers day or even second. When someone I have never met or never even had the pleasure of exchanging even a brief glance decides to go out of their way to make my day happier it's is the sweetest thing that can happen.
I hope I'm one of those people, but everyday life seem to get in the way of trying to help others. But in all reality isn't that what Christianity is about? Going out of out of our way to reach out to others to show them that there is a reason to live on with their head held high. We look at other peoples life and circumstances with such judgement and recluse but isn't that what turns people away from Christians us acting like we are the kings and queens of the world and that others are second class citizens. No wonder people don't want to listen us!
We are human too and acting as if we are the superior is going to do nothing but form hatred and pain towards us. I can go for hours ranting about Christians putting themselves on the highest pedestal.
I can not stress this enough we are not better than them we are just cleansed with God, we have the hope of external life with God forever! How to we share this beautiful message if we are tossing it down to them from our gold pedestal? We can't. That's like trying to help a person with a broken foot out of a ditch without touching them. It's not happening. Thanks for listening to my little rant. If you want to read some more posts like this one comment down below telling me so I have many topics I can rant about!
