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...
