Carrie-on Baggage: Personally I'm always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught.

Personally I'm always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught.

Happy Friday everyone! And Happy Easter weekend-I hope you all plan on spending it with the people you love, and if it’s your thing, Jesus too.

Ooooo that smell!
Am I the only person in the world who gets random smells on my hand and then wonder what they are? I swear this morning I was like, is that peanut butter? It took me forever to realize that I had a peanut butter granola bar for breakfast, so it must have been that. I sometimes work with a lot of old documents and files, so throughout the day, I have to ask myself “what’s that smell on my hands? What did I touch?” Some of the WAY older files they put talc powder in them to keep them dry, that stuff smells gross and makes my hands so dry…bah!

Pon de replay
I’m probably the only person you know (or blogstalk) that listens to Island rap, reggaeton, and Spanish rap. And enjoys it. Like immensely. So just so you know, if you need information on any of that-I’m your woman.

Easter Menu
So I’ve spent all week trying to come up with something to serve for Easter dinner with Seth’s family since we will be having it at our house this year. Here’s what I’ve come up with:

Ham
Fat Potato Fat Fat (formally known as Cheesy Hashbrown Casserole)
White Corn and Tomato Salad
Cheesy Vegetable Risotto
Crockpot Alfredo Green Bean Casserole
Rolls from Rotella’s

For my Mom’s party I am making Spinach Artichoke dip with crusty French bread. She has a great menu going there and I'm glad all I have to help out with is dip!

The kittens are going to be published before me-nice
My newest celebrikitties were contacted this week by the owners of http://www.icanhascheezburger.com/ and asked to be in their next book titled- I Can Has Cheezburger?: Lolcats Teach U How To Take Over Teh Wurld
This is the picture they asked to use-

I’m so excited! I’m pretty sure this makes me the quintessential crazy cat lady-hands down.

Well I’m off to find a ham glaze for the ham and to try and figure out what I need for our Orlando Vacation (besides liposuction and a tan). Have a great holiday weekend everyone!

Love (Holiday’s with food),
Carrie

Hi Carrie. Congratulations on the I Can Has book. One of my cats will be in the same book! You can see her picture in www.mylifehaha.com. I've qualified as a cat lady for a while - I have seven and I rescue cats. LOL.

About me

An almost daily blog of Carrie's ramblings that come from her baggage in life. Carrie lives with her disgustingly smart husband, amazing daughter bulldozer son and two Bengal cats in Colorado Springs. She is an avid reader and an obsessive television watcher. She loves to travel, sleep, snuggle and generally be friggin awesome. She suffers a smartphone addiction. She makes inane pop culture references. She hopes one day someone will give her a talk show where she talks about all the tv she watches, gossip she reads about on the internet, and life observations she has. Comments and followers make me blog more frequently, its a guilt thing.

Things you should know:

Hi All!
My name is Carrie and this is my blog-I know, you are so excited.
Please feel free to leave your comments below, but if you want to contact me directly, shoot me a line at
carriehellbusch (at) gmail dot com
I think that's the fancy way everyone does it so they don't get spam.
And please don't send me mean things. That would just make me delete this whole section and it took me like 15 minutes to figure out how to put it on here. I didn't say I was a wiz at computers, I just married one-and he's busy trying to create Skynet...
Love (to ramble incessantly),
Carrie

About the Kidtens

I have two Bengal Cats-Bagheera and Willow. Willow is the girl and the spotted snow and Bagheera is the boy and the spotted dark. They are fixed so we can't breed them-my Pops is still mad at me for that. I would love to tell you about my breeder, but they were pretty horrible and apparently don't exist anymore. This could be because Bengals are illegal in Omaha (I live in Omaha's Sarpy County, which is not Omaha, it's an SID) or because they had 26 cats in a tiny corner of the basement stacked on top of each other.

Willow was actually our second choice in snows. We decided to get two because Bengals are notoriously active and we didn't want one to get lonely and eat our house while we were gone. Willow gets smarter every day. She recently figured out how to turn on the sinks, which bodes well with her love of water. She loves Seth more than anything, but has been known to cuddle with me too when I'm sad. She's a sweet girl. She also will NOT SHUT UP. If you wonder what a conversation with a cat is like, come chat with Willow. Willow is also known as Willow Bee, the Beezus, and Pretty Kitty.

Bagheera is your typical boycat. He sleeps with us most nights and we have worked out a "snacks for snuggles" barter system. He gives you love on his terms. Bagheera was born with a bad right back leg. The breeders told us that he broke it in the womb because there was too many kittens in the litter. The vet told us that he didn't know a thing about it until days later. So far he uses it like peg leg and it doesn't bother him at all. We talked to the vet about getting it fixed but the vet says the way he uses it, like a pirate, it wouldn't heal properly and he still would try to use it like he does. It doesn't bother me and it doesn't bother him so we are cool. The breeders told me they were going to put him down because they couldn't sell him and the price of the "surgery" would outweigh his "value". I practically snatched him and ran. They gave him to me for free. He has an amazing coat-show quality. I wonder if there is a cat show special olympics... Bagheera is also known as Baggy, Bags,Doots, Stinky Boy Kitty, and Buddy Bear.

Anyway that's me, Carrie-patron Saint of lost causes and handicats.
