Yesterday leaving work, I was still driving through the business area of where the offices are and I saw a cute little turtle in the opposite lane..so I did a U-turn real quick to turn around to go save it. I do that all the time when I see turtles, I’ll pull over and save them. There was a snapping turtle in the back yard just the other day and we put it in a plastic bin and took it to the pond. I’m always saving the turtles. Theyre one of my favorite creatures. Well I did the U-turn and not even 30 seconds later someone going the opposite way had already ran it over and crushed it. I slapped my hand over my mouth and started crying. I had to pull over in a random parking lot to cry and call Brian to calm me down. I hate how I feel about animals, because it’s hard to deal with. It sucks caring so much because it hurts. I wish I didn’t care so I wouldn’t have to feel so much but I can’t help it. It’s the way I was made. It wouldn’t have hurt so bad if I wasn’t trying to save it. I told Brian it was my fault and I should’ve just stopped traffic and not did the U turn and he said No, I did the right thing and I tried to save it, and it’s probably good I didn’t stop because I could’ve gotten it in which I sobbed and blubbered that at least it wouldn’t have hurt me as much as the turtle. I was still thinking about it at kickboxing last night. I know it’s part of life and nature but still, I hate knowing that any animals die. Just the other day Brian saved a little doggie near a busy intersection, and we even went to get its nails trimmed bc they were SO long..like an inch long on a small chiuaaha(sp) dog. We found the owners but if it happens again, we’re keeping the dog.
Oh and when I got back from Orlando Sunday, I saw Gizzy, my Persian aka love of my life was limping. I freaked out because I’m very protective of him. His arthritis was acting up so we took him to the doctor and got some anti inflammatories
This past weekend we went to Orlando, took Brian’s niece with us. She’s 15, and she had a lot of fun. We went to see Breaking Dawn and we all counted how many times Kristen Stewart had her mouth hanging open. After the movies, we went to the Florida Mall, which used to be nice and ritzy and the most ghetto mall I have ever been too. We got home, ate dinner and then Saturday was the Great Prostate Cancer Challenge 5k in Oxford which is the smallest town ever. There seemed to be less people this time. I won 1st place for my age group and was like the 3rd woman over all. Yea that’s how little people were there. It’s ridiculous! I mean BRIAN won 1st place because he was the only male between 25-29 that was there! Dayzha got a medal too. My mom didn’t get one this time bc there were more women in her age group this time. I spoke to someone there who has reps here in Jacksonville and he said he will be up there tomorrow and talk to them about getting something started. Finally. Maybe if I make a big enough stink, something will be done. He even gave me a big box of flyers/prostate cancer notebook health info. (oh and someone had their domesticated turkey out there. His name was Henry and he was so cute)..oh and another thing I keep forgetting! Remember last year they had a drawing for prizes and I won 2 Busch Garden tickets? And my mom said that was from my daddy. Well this year they had a raffle and I wanted the mini vodka and martini glass and I said in my head “C’mon daddy, gimme some alcohol” and has soon as I thought it, my name was called. Cool.
After the run, we showered, shopped, I bought a new leather jacket which I love. It was only 30$ so I wish it could get cold enough to wear it! After shopping we rested and then we went to dinner and had a good time.
It was over all a good weekend. Now my work week is almost ever (1.5 more hours and I’m off for the 4 day Thanksgiving Holiday!)
I don’t usually go shopping on Black Friday but I want to surprise Brian with a Surround System Home Theatre (99$) and I don’t feel like breaking the bank for it so I’m getting to Sears early. I wake up early anyways so it’s no big deal. I made my Wish List for Brian, it’s pretty easy. Jersey, black boots, Victoria Secret, and running necklace. The value of all that is only like 200$. I’m going to try to get him the surround sound, a hookah, and a gift card to Home Depot and a goodie stocking. I’m glad we can have a good Christmas this year with presents! Since we finally sold my truck! Yay! Last year we were buying a house so we didn’t have much. But hey we have a house and a nice SUV now, I’m blessed and thankful. I don’t care about presents anyways. I just love hanging out with friends and family..and I love GIVING presents too.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone! And try to be thankful for all that you have.

I know what you mean by caring about animals so much. I can't stand the thought of losing them. When i was a little girl i had a cocker spannial and my dad ran over her accidentally, and i saw the whole thing happening.. Even though i was just a little girl it crushed me. It still crushes me this very day to even thinking about it. You look like you had fun at the race and I'm loving that leather jacket. It looks nice on you
