Mom & Kittens
Drove 8 hours round trip (carpooled with a friend, actually) to South Carolina to spend time with mom for Mother's Day. I am growing to like my mom more these days. It helps that we have found a few common interests and we focus on those when we are together. Gardens are one :-)

Opportunities like this are the reason I moved back east. It feels good to be making the effort to spend time with family. So if/when I move elsewhere, I know I've taken advantage of the time I lived here.

Monday I took the day off work to do some projects at home - none of which got done because I spent most of the day at my sister's house getting a kitten briefing, shopping for the kittens, and helping her figure out how to refi her credit card debt (ALERT: Chase is offering loans at 2.99% for the life of the loan - great deal). I helped her figure out how to save thousands of dollars in interest and she talked me into fostering 5 kittens.

Love my sister. Like getting to know her better.

The kittens are like crack... you think you are going to check on them for 5 minutes and the next thing you know, an hour has gone by...

Kitteny goodness!

It's great when you can be with your folks and enjoy them as people, not just parents.

They are amazing, actually. One has adopted me. Follows me everywhere. Will be hard to let her go.

Mom... yeah. What you said.
