Today is Dr. Suess's birthday! So I shall dedicate my Five Friday Faves post to him.
Now, I present to you my five of my favorite Dr Suess quotes:
Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!
-Happy Birthday To You!
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.
-The Lorax
So be sure when you step, Step with care and great tact. And remember that life's A Great Balancing Act. And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed! (98 and ¾ percent guaranteed)
-Oh, The Places You'll Go!
When you think things are bad,
when you feel sour and blue,
when you start to get mad...
you should do what I do!
Just tell yourself, Duckie,
you're really quite lucky!
Some people are much more...
oh, ever so much more...
oh, muchly much-much more
unlucky than you!
― Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are?
I meant what I said and I said what I meant. An elephant's faithful one-hundred percent!
― Horton Hears a Who!
Bonus Quote:
And the turtles, of course...all the turtles are free, as turtles and, maybe, all creatures should be.
―Yertle the Turtle and Other Stories
Happy Birhday Dr Seuss!!

What BIG ears you have...
So I dressed up for Halloween:
I was supposed to be this: (the big bad wolf)
Instead, I looked more like this:
Or this:
See for yourself:
I told you.

Till The End
As some of you know my baby kitty of nearly 15 years is very, very sick, and the vet has said there is nothing else we can do. This has been incredibly hard on me. I am trying to do my best to just get through day by day. I mostly just stay home and watch movies with my little kitty.
Last Monday before we knew how bad things were with my Phebee cat I had the opportunity to go see Aron Ralston speak at the U of U. If you don't know who he is he, the movie 127 Hours is his story. He also wrote the book Between A Rock And A Hard Place about his time when he was stuck in Blue John Canyon for 6 days and eventually had to amputate his own arm. He was a phenomenal speaker. One part of his lecture that really stuck with me is how he stressed the importance of seeing things through till the end and not giving up. Over the past week I have referred back to his speech many times. I am trying my best to not give up and see things through till the end, but right now I am so sad about my little kitty, that it is very hard. I honestly don't know how I will get along without her.

Car. Book. Chocolate. Cat.
People keep telling me I need to blog (coughcourtneycough) but I can't think of anything exciting to write about! So hear are some things I'm up to right now. Boring or otherwise....
Driving my mom around.
On Tuesday it snowed a lot. Then a lady lost control of her car, my mom hit her and this is the result:
(This pic really doesn't do the damage justice) It goes all down the passenger side and her other headlight is busted too.
Mom will be okay, but my nerves may not be because my mom criticises my driving so much.
Cross your fingers the insurance company gets the rental car gets worked out soon.
Reading a new book
I recently picked up my husband James Franco's new book: Palo Alto Stories
I had heard good reviews and got a good coupon to get it cheap, so I picked it up.
It's a book of short stories about teenagers growing up in the suburbs. And when I say teenagers I mean dis functional teenagers that do things like drunk drive hit a woman with their car then leave her to die. This is not a book to read before bed time. But it is a good book.
Drinking Mexican hot chocolate with whip cream everyday.
I used to go to Nordstrom and have them make it for me, but at $4 a serving, that adds up but quick. Then I found they sell it in a bag for $10! Is this still expensive for hot chocolate? Yes. But considering I can make like 28 cups, its a much better deal. Unfortunately when I make it there is no cinnamon stick or rustic setting involved.
Taking care of a sick kitty.
Diego has taken ill. This has not been cheap and it a constant stress in my everyday life. I hate that we can't communicate! I'm so worried about my little guy! Send him your positive thoughts and well wishes please!
Thanks for your time all. Have a pleasant Thursday.
PS- I think the below picture proves James Franco is not gay. I don't know one gay man that would leave the house for a public event in tennis shoes that dirty. I know plenty of straight boys that would. Not soccer players. They are weird about having clean shoes. But other straight guys.
