i keep going back between livejournal and blogger. here is my blogger blog: http://kathrynmary.blogspot.com/ just in case i flake and post there instead. i really need to narrow it down to one. i also thought of typepad too. wish someone would say hey this is the right blog for you but that would be too easy....
I haven't been sleeping good part due to Belle's upcoming vet visit but also due to watching that video of the cruelty that those pigs endured in that Iowa farm. I have been staying up late and sleeping with the TV on so I think about it less. I am not sold on all of PETA ideology, but I dont think animals should suffer needlessly. I read that the police are now involved so I
After the vet visit I am going to prep my wood for my next pretty girl painting. I got a sliver when I bought it at Michaels so I need to smooth out any rough edges plus I read its easier to wood burn a sanded piece. That is if all goes well at the cardiologists otherwise I fear I will be too miserable to do much. If they change her medication I won't be able to go to a wedding I was invited to on Saturday because Belle will need to be watched for a couple of days. I'm ok with staying home in my pjs all day though:)
I have another blog on blogger and I need to decide which one to keep and which to stop. I have actually had comments on my blogger one and imported everything here to there yesterday, but I am not sure which one I like to keep up. I have been lazy at the whole blog thing until lately so I don't even know which one I like better.
I didn't sleep well last night. I am not surprised after watching the peta video, To say it disturbed me would be an understandment. I still cannot believe the cruelty these people inflicted without remorse. I was awake until about 1 am and had to sleep with the TV on, back up from 2am to 3am, up for good since 7am. My DH had the coffee pot set up and it was all ready brewed when I got up which was wonderful. I barely made it to work on time. It was a rough, restless night, and I my eyes are red and puffy from crying. Today I am going to try to keep happy thoughts before this feeling of dread eats me alive. I have been telling my co-workers to ban Hormel products and about the video. I even started to cry which shocked them since i am pretty stoic about most things...at least around others. I work with at a scrapyard and it is mostly men, i thought most of what i said would fall on deaf ears. Most at least listened, one guy shrugged his shoulders and i asked if he thought that was acceptable and he said yeah and asked if I had ever lived on a farm. i told him yes we had a small farm with livestock when i was younger but we never beat our animals. He told me he beat cows with 2x4s! i told him he was disgusting and was going to rot in hell. Right now I am so angry.
Early yesterday afternoon I worked on my next suziblu class project. its just a rough sketch and I scanned it in the computer and it came out really light so I didnt post it here. I am going to try to work on it this weekend if I can, but I have a wedding to attend on Saturday. I hate dressing up and I have no idea what I am going to wear to the wedding. I am a homebody, I would like to have more friends, I actually need a good friend, but since I rarely go out not sure how I will meet these new people. It would be good to find someone who liked artsy stuff and animals. who doesn't mind when I rant about how cute my cat, Belle,is. Belle is on medication and very bonded to me, so I could never leave her all night besides I would worry leaving her for longer than 6 hours. I even go home for lunch to check on her. Yes, I am that crazy cat lady, the only thing that keeps me from being too much of the cliche is that I only have 1 cat.

ok I dont eat meat~ I quit over 4 years ago after watching a video of what happens to chickens that are slaughtered for (or by?) Tyson. That was bad but this video will haunt me for the rest of my life. This farm in Iowa supplies to Hormel. The cruelty that these pigs undergo makes me ashamed to be a human being, I am so sad and disgusted that a human could do these things to another being. I have been in tears since i watched it. I wasnt going to watch because I am so sensitive when it comes to animal welfare, but i feel that we cannot turn a blind eye to things because they make us feel sad. These animals need a voice, our voice, to ensure that they arent treated inhumanly. I understand that many people eat meat, but the animal doesnt need to be mistreated. These animal were treated with shocking cruelty~ I mean it i have never witnessed such intentional brutality. I have read that pigs actually have the intelligence of a 3 year old human child, they are definitely smarter than dogs, these people have no souls and I hope they get what they have given. I urge everyone to please sign Peta's petition to Hormel and not buy their products until they make changes. No animal should suffer like this and i pray that all those involved are criminally prosecuted, heaven knows they will be judged by their Maker one day and i hope they are given the same mercy that they gave these poor creatures. The link at the top of this post in blue will take you to the site so you can see for yourself but be warned it is gruesome.
