You can change your hair, you can change your clothes…

So what to write about? Not sure really today. I should write about something thoughtful but frankly there's nothing thoughtful to write about. LOL!

Have I mentioned that I will be taking a photography course at Moorpark College starting in the fall. I think I need to reapply to join, hopefully that's not too much of a process. I don't think it takes much to apply in general so I can't imagine that reapplying would be too much. I'll go on August 10th to register and since obviously it's at the Registrar Office I should be able to determine my eligibility.

Hopefully the classes will be fun. I imagine it will be interesting at the very least.

Kaylee's potty training camp has been going pretty well. She has accidents but it's part of the learning process so I'm not worried. She's only using diapers at nap and at night and they're not diapers but rather pull-ups. She stayed dry her entire nap so that's good. I'm not expecting dryness through the night because she takes a diuretic anyhow so expecting that is more than she can do. I won't worry about night-time potty training until later on in life. Right now it's not important. I just need her doing it on her own through the day and we have six weeks to get it perfect.

Luckily too I know her school isn't insanely strict about it. They help them with their clothes and the woman I talked to when I registered Kaylee said that for the first few weeks kids come to school with two or three pairs of undies and clothes and go through them all in a day and over time they get used to school and going to the bathroom at school.

So I think it's going pretty well.

Tuesday is yet another doctor's appointment and we'll see if anything changes after that. Other than that the only big thing coming up is Dianne and Jeremy's Wedding.

I do have to officially say that if you read their engagement story that I was there when they finally decided to be boyfriend and girlfriend. I remember it quite well as a matter of fact and frankly would love to go back there and go camping again cause I think we had tons of fun! Actually their official date of being a couple is the same day that Dale Earnhardt Jr. won the Pepsi 400 in 2001. Good day me thinks all around. LOL! Anyhow I like to say that my sister and I were instrumental in them deciding to be a couple! =-P

Feel Good Story Of The Day…

So yesterday a bunch of people from across the internet got together to save a cat from his abusers. Some bastards put a video up on YouTube showing them abusing their cat (who turns out to be named Dusty). Well quickly it was all over the net on various sites and they were tracking the boys down. Later in the afternoon the news stations and local police department were being flooded with calls. Today the cat was taken by the local vet until the investigation is complete and the DA will have to decide whether or not to charge the boys. On a side note this wasn't a one time event. There were three videos from three different times. Something is truly fucked up with those kids.

It got me thinking though. A while back you saw me post about a woman who posted on Twitter something that alarmed some people and they called the police and they showed up at her home. She was pissed that this happened, called it an invasion of privacy. I wonder if she would call this an invasion as well? It may be different because these boys put it up on YouTube for all to see, but they covered their faces and didn't identify themselves, so couldn't that be seen as wanting to remain anonymous? But perhaps since there was actual abuse you could see, the action was warranted?

I don't know but let me tell you I'm glad that a bunch of people can get together and work to save a cat.

Stradley says the teens responsible were released to their parents by the DA and they and their lawyer will meet with investigators to determine their fate on Tuesday. Dusty, the cat, is alive and was taken to a veterinarian where it will remain until the investigation is complete.  Stradley says he also has received an email from PETA that alluded to three other videos - with more animal abuse - created by the same user.
