Flutter away

Soft, whimsical, gentle and serene, I lose myself at times glaring at the beauty of a small creature that, you know what it is really hard to find beauty and get inspired when a 3 yr old is being a total pain. AS much as I love my 3 yr old I can't WAIT for him to grow up and yeah "ohhh wait til he grows you will want him to be little again" NO! I am pretty sure I do not! I am not going to miss any of his stellar moments of brattiness and just plain stubborn self.

I wish I were more patience but I concluded that it is not the patience that needs to just be part of this, no this kid needs to grow up and understand things. I too and we all were children at one point and I have no clue how the people who cared for me did not lose their minds because if I was .5 % of what my kid is then well I have to start sending flowers to all of those who took care of me.


It does not help that I have been ill, stupid cold, gah I hate colds! I hate colds when husband is away even more! I have the kids, the animals and more but at least one good thing is it's my older ones last day of school, and while most parents go "WHY?" I go woooo to the freaking HOO!!! Oh I can't stand that damn school! next semester he goes to another one and I am happy about that.

Oh maybe I have ranted my anger away, let me see :deep breath in and out: aw yes, it's all good now so here is the picture I was going to talk about...






I hope your day is better than mine :)

Confessions of an animal lover

I never thought it would be part of who I am so much but it is, loving animals, helping them and making a connection between the animal world and the human world.
Let me tell you what happened while I was in Miami Florida. Yeah I took a lil trip to the south and it was my first time. I did not know the weather was not going to be sunshine all the time so that was disappointing but it was still a magical trip.

Not only did I get to meet up with two friends while down there and a whole lot of stuff that well will remain with me for the rest of my life but something I was not expecting happened and yet it was not a total surprise for me.

On one of the days where the sunshine said peek a boo I decided to go for a walk on the boardwalk. I took some pictures and saw there was a black kitty at the beach, in the sand chasing something. So as I went down for a closer shot this black kitty instead of running away from me, came right to me.

So I began to pet her and play with her and wow was she friendly. I thought she belonged to someone on the boardwalk but this family that was close mentioned how they have seen her before. SO I strike up a conversation with the family and say "take her home then" they say, in stereo "we're form Jersey!" I laugh and say "so am I"

After a bit of talking, I head off to the nearest store to get cat food and a box. See the mom was in love with the kitty and she was going to take her home, but it was their last day on vacation cause the next day off to Jersey. SO what do I propose? she needs a vet, she needs food, she needs to be held in the hotel. A duffel bag later, me coughing like a maniac through the hotel lobby so they don't hear this kitty meow, in she goes. She does well, and I am feeling a bit nervous about all of it but heck already deep in the situation so I go with it.

The next day kitty in bag again, and I hail a cab to meet with the woman ,she hands me money and off I go to the vet. 5 hrs of checking for things, she does not have a micro chip, has fleas and a slur of otehr things, she gets her vaccines and I make calls to the airline. 6 hrs later, miss Lola (named after me) meets up with her new family and is off on a plane to NJ.

So having to go down 8 flights of stairs, waiting hours ina the vet, and not eating all day was totally worth it!

Here is Lola...







I hope she is happy and full of joy. I know the family absolutely loves her and will give her all the love and care she deserves. SO to many years of joy for all involved!

Love,
Lola

Well how do you do?

Hello blog, I have neglected you for a while but I still care, here let me give you a hug (HUG)

So what's new in my world? Apparently I like melba toast. The animals are all well, the kids are well, I am well, hubby well and well is well. My photography is getting a new vision but I can't tell yet but you will see.

Lost Paws is getting stronger and better, although we have lost a few kitties that I loved, Diego my beautiful boy I miss you and I hope you are free, I miss him and I bet the family that had adopted him misses him very much also.


Uh my mom has a facebook account! I set her up but will have to teach her how to do all cause she's not comp savvy.

I took care of my neighbours doggy last weekend and the dog is a nut! lol and he hurt my leg but I
still like him.

What else is there to say? not much but MUA!

TTYL hope all are well.

Love,
Lola

Get wrapped up inside what you feel

Tell me what you feel.

This day could use some improvement

As much as I like awesome good news and happy, happy, joy, joy moments this day sucks! Both kids sick, waking up all hours of the night, lack of sleep, stupid weather! what a week a freaking rain wasn't enough for you? :waves fist at sky: animals who decide to not wait and knock over food bags and have a buffet, my car in the shop for 3 days and its' only going to cost $500 to fix and more grumble, grumble blah things :rolls eyes and takes a deep breath in:

So here are some picture, yeah yada yada yada hope your day is better than mine.






Oh you know what happened yesterday?! well of course not then why the hell am I asking? ok so I was in the back yard with my kiddo, having fun and I hear this weird plane like sound but it was way too close so I looked up and BAM! this black cloud of wasps! :runs around in circles screaming like a little girl: I got the kiddo and ran! It was horrible! but no one was stung, it was really scary. Ok more pictures.

alright apparently I can't add more so see ya.


Oh wait stupid me, figured it out, ok more pics.

Morning

Morning rises on the pillow slept.
Hours passed in dreamland roads.
Traffic of untold stories get honked by
Bicycles leaping through the sky.
In the clouds of rumors fiddled by
Mouths of red lips kissing lovers to lovers.

Hearts palpitate to the drums in tune.
The rhythms dance in a swirl of jam
Licked and savored with tingling sensations.
The body quivers and shivers by the cold air
Which whistled through the window
By a crack crawled in by ants
Carrying loads of weightless pressure.

Heavy light chirp songs heard
From the birds on their way far
From reality flying through the
Comfort where rest has been lifted.

Sudden abrupt changes welcomed
In celebration of a new fill.
Emptied by hands feeling faces
In a sweet serene slumber
In which all welcome the one and only friend
That leaves until it's welcomed once again.

Shifts happen and dreams are left
Behind the curtains where shadows
Make shapes and imagination leaps
Out the window which welcomes
The morning risen on the pillow slept.

Good morning day.

By Lola


What can be said in this fine rainy morning? well RAIN GO AWAY! It has been 5 days of this weather and while I do appreciate and understand that nature needs water and all that jazz, enough! Even birds seem to not be singing as happily.

What is new in my life you say? well not much. Kids are growing, oh oh my oldest lost his first tooth! :sniff: my baby is growing up!!!!! He is a sweet little dumpling, he wanted to share his tooth fairy money to help his grandma :sigh: what a sweet heart. My youngest can't wait to be big like daddy, me and uncle so he can drink beer! apparently he wants beer lol This one is gonna be trouble.


The animals are well, all looking at me with eyes of FEED ME! but in a minute k. Friends are well, I hope, some have bad things going on and I hope all works out well and I have found out things about some friends that are just pure fantabulistic! Wish I knew this sooner but asi es la vida.

I did a shoot of myself which has many meanings, perhaps way too many, so any interpretation you make is probably correct. So here it is, me.





Well I hope all is fantastic.

Love,
Lola

Well it's been a LONG time but I am back baby

First of all, I am home, I have been home for a while but not available to write.

The trip was a trip, my family and friends are well, as well as people can be. I miss them every single day :(

I have not done much editing to my pics, and while I don't really edit them I just resize them and sing them.

Just for fun here is something of a glimps of the good parts of PR.

Many Faces I love

Well I am off to bed, in hopes of a goodnight sleep.

Love,
Lola

T minus less than 24 hrs til I go to The Island of Enchantment

WOO TO THE FREAKING HOOOOOO! Ok I must confess I am a bit nervous, the kids not with me, my husband's survival alone, the pets, oh my the pets, my plants, the plane ride, the camera, ok so I am more nervous than I thought :bites nails: but I am also very excited :)

Anyway I have had a hectic week to say the least, kids not well health wise, the house and blah blah blah but something awesomely cool happened! I got 2 lenses! and a battery back up and a remote for the cam!! :raises the roof: The picture I took of the next subject isn't extraordinary but it was taken with mah new zoom lens so the fact that is important is I was far!!!

So I present to you Meep Meep.




Well I am almost packed, almost, got a few things to do but just, you know how you have to use things before you go? well I am not sure what I will use so yeah, oh it will be fine, I'm going to my fams home and friends and if I need anything they will be all cool to supply :)


So hope things go great for you, I will miss my computer, a lot! (hugs monitor) but I will be fine ;)

So Nos vemos despues! Be good and if not, invite me :big grin!:

Oh and one more thing.




Oh cause I forgot....

Just for you.

Love,
Lola

Pink it's my new obsession

Hi everyone well lets see, what is new you ask? well my hair :D It is no longer green but now it is PINK! not all of it just the front, and I love it!



Yeah no one is born with it but heck so what?!

What else is new, well the Lost Paws organization is :sigh: still going through a real rough moment. Things are absolutely insane right now and I am leaving soon to my much needed trip to Puerto Rico. I am really excited and nervous, not sure why in the world I am but I am. I am still very excited to see my family, my friends, my Island! I'm going to rent some lenses and do my project of homeless animals in PR. I don't think I will be able to contain my feelings but I will do my best in not breaking down like a baby when I see all of the fur babies starving and ill.

On another note I did a shoot for a friend and not only is she gorgeous but she has a little show online that is really a breath of fresh air. She is on every Wed at 7pm The Powder Room check out her show.

Here are some of the pictures.







The kids? well one is with my mom and the other one is not feeling well but my little monsters are doing much better with me. Parenting is really hard, add difficult kids and a very exhausted mama and well you got a yawn situation followed by hair pulling out moments.


Bad news from Lost Paws is we have lost 4 kitties to FIP, poor babies are no longer in pain but our hearts are still very sad. We are still in need of help and if you know anyone who can please tell them to email Lyn at Lyn's Email Addy


Well the pets here are all well, Rocco is much happier and I gave hm a lil bath and he was so happy! here is my little munchkin.







So what's on the agenda today? packing, cleaning and shopping, I need comfy shoes :D I hope all is well with you and those you love.

Hugs and Kisses,
Lola
