Hi, Long time no write :-P. We have settled in pretty well to our new life in Austin Texas. It's been hard adjusting to life without mama but we're doing it. We went to Zilker park a few days ago and loved it. It's such a pretty park. We tried to play Frisbee but 1. it was to windy and 2. we were trying to play with a .98cents Frisbee. So that didn't work out too well. But then we went and walked along the hiking path and a pedestrian bridge across the river. We got to see people kayaking and river surfing which was awesome! We also saw a White crane/Egret thing on a branch near the water. So that was a fun day! Now we have a better Frisbee but the weather hasn't cooperated with us, so we haven't been able to play Frisbee yet.
Every other day we go down to the workout room and exercise. Otherwise we hang out at the apartment or in the hot-tub, and sometimes we go to the store.
We walked down to the library yesterday. It was a really nice library :). It even had Manga that I've heard of before and It also had a Dog Bible which I thought was cool.
Today is workout day so we will be doing that later. Earlier today we went and checked out a arcade called Pinballz, It was pretty awesome!
I have been looking for work for a month now though I haven't been looking very hard. All I've done so far is put applications in online. Today I put in a few applications to Starbucks. If they haven't called in a few days I will go in and do a follow up in person on my application. If they don't have any positions available I'll do the same at McDonald's and Taco-bell and Pizza hut in turn. So I will be trying much harder now to get a job.
We just got our apartment sprayed against roaches earlier today, Since we keep seeing one here and one there Daddy decided that we should tell the apartment head and they sent a person out here to spray along the baseboards. Well that's about all that's been going on for now. Bye Bye and Thanks for reading <3.

Everything that's happened since I last posted.
Well, A lot has happened since I last posted. We stayed at the Buffalo in and suites on December 1st and 2nd. It was nice! They had a saltwater pool and a regular hot-tub! The pool water actually didn't taste to bad :P. Me and Eldin stayed at the hotel on the 2nd by ourselves while mama and daddy finished the sale at the house. It was kinda boring really. Then we left Missouri on December 3rd, With just what we could fit in the car. So everyone but the driver had there legs bent at weird angles to fit into the car. Me and my brother each had a cat in a carrier on our laps as well. We stopped at the Over-pass McDonald's for lunch, It was awesome! The cats were not happy campers until we got to the second motel we stayed at on the trip to Austin. We let them out of the crates that night. They were sooo happy. We had Pizza for dinner that night ;P. Then the next day we all piled back into the car to finish the trip to Austin. I don't remember where we stopped to eat lunch that day. So after 5-6 hours of driving we finally arrive in Austin! We made it to the motel we planned on staying at for 14 days and payed $700 something for it. The room wasn't bad, The cats got to get out of there crates, So they were pretty happy. We had to make what felt like 10 trips from the car upstairs to the room loaded with stuff just to empty the car. We were exhausted by the time we finished unpacking the car! I think we went to Wal-mart after we rested for a bit. Ya' know we had to pick up some food to cook while we stayed there. One night we stayed there we got take-out from Chili's. It was awesome because we only had to walk like 0.5mi to get there.
Me and mama walked to the target that was near the motel a few times, one of those times we bought Eldin some brand new roller blades. We also walked to the Walgreen's that was in the same plaza to get cigarettes and snacks. Me and Eldin also walked to target and Walgreen's by ourselves one time just to look around the stores. Then another day me and mama walked to the temp agency next to target called "Man Power" and found out we could just apply there online.
We applied for a apartment with Fort branch at Trumans landing, They are a Restricted income based apartment complex. They assured us that we had a place there. That they were just dotting the I's and crossing the T's. Well because the process for the paperwork was taking so long we had to pay for an extra 3 nights at the motel. We even had to take Eldin's Christmas present (the roller blades) back to the store so that we could pay for another night at the motel. Which left us with barely anything left to spend on anything else. Then on Tuesday the 20th we go in thinking that we were going to be signing the lease right? Well we get there and they tell us that because of our projected income (from jobs we didn't even have yet) Put us over the income limit. So for a week and a half they jerked us around assuring us that we had it only to tell we might make to much if me and mama were working full-time. So Mama asked them if they knew of any place that we could move in today because we didn't have the money to stay at the motel any longer and They referred us to where we live now.
We got the apartment that day, but because it was after noon that we got it, we still had to pay for one more night at the motel. Which we could do since we now had a place to live. So we unpack the trunk full of stuff we had packed earlier that day. Into the apartment. Then we go back to the motel and pack up a bunch more stuff from the motel to the car. Later we go to Little Ceasers to get some Supper and Soda. It was delicious! Just a little bit after that I went to take a bath.
Just after getting out of the bath and getting ready to watch offline videos on my laptop when mama starts making snoring like sounds. I thought she was joking at first, Until she wasn't responding to daddy talking to her. At which point I start telling daddy to call 911 because she wasn't breathing. We had a whole fiasco with the 911 operator. He asked our address where we were staying and we gave it to him, Then he said that his computers showed that it wasn't a valid address. Then asked for the phone number of the place we were at so daddy gave that to him. He then said that it showed that it wasn't a valid phone number (or something like that) then asked if we had a card with the address on it. We didn't but we knew the address and told him again. He must have found it because then he said that the paramedics were on there way.
Daddy handed me the phone when he started so I could relay what the gut was saying and so daddy could do the Chest compressions with both hands, But I was so shaken up that I couldn't relay anything and handed the phone back. So daddy had to do the Chest compressions one handed. I watched for the EMS. After the EMS got there one of the cops took me outside and asked me my family's birthdays and names. He was impressed that I knew my parents birthdays and birth years. He stood outside with me and talked about various things until the Civilian help people got there and asked me The same things as the cop did.
The cop let me use his jacket for a bit and the civilian help people gave me a blanket to use. After the EMS had taken mama down to the ambulance we followed the civilian help people to the hospital ER and found a parking garage to park in. Then we went in to the ER and waited to be told what happened. A nurse called us back to wait in a more private room. We waited for the doctor and talked about what mama would of wanted. That was sad :`(.
Then the doctor came in and told us that she had had a heart-attack. And that she was in a coma and that she had probably been without air to her brain for to long causing brain damage, And that her heart was really weak. Then we got to go see her for the first time since she was put into the Ambulance. It was very sad to see her like that. Then we went home and tried to sleep some.
So then she was in the ICU on life support From the 21st to the 29th. In that time They found out she was having seizures so they gave her meds for that, Then they did a EKG and found out that her heart was very weak and it looked like it had been for a long time.(they also said that the weakness could of been caused by the CPR). Then they later told us that the type of heart-attack that she had was called V-Fib. Then they did an EEG and found out that she was having constant brain seizures. So they gave her meds for that too. But the meds didn't seem to be calming them down at all. During that week in the ICU on life support, She had another V-Fib heart-attack.
Her Mother and Brother came during that week and visited her and us. They got here on the 28th(I think) and the next day the doctor talked with all of us about her condition and how what she's suffering from people don't recover from. It was talked about in a private little conference room. We all told him that she wouldn't want to live very long like this and that we should turn the life support off(which was very hard to say) and that if she had another Heart-attack not to resuscitate her.
Her family stayed here at a hotel from the 28th of Dec. to the 1st of Jan. Then daddy's sister came on the 1st and left yesterday at 4:30am. During that time there has been no change in her condition since taking her off of life-support. Mama's brother Gary paid the crematorium fee for us. So when she does pass on, We have that all taken care of for us. Her dad gave us $800 originally for the cremation and urn, But her brother and his wife didn't want us using HIS money for that so they paid for it and so we got $800 to spend on getting us presents for a late Yule. Daddy's sister who came on Sunday, bought us a couch and lounge chair. Then we find a really nice desk out by the dumpsters. It took all four of us (Me, Daddy, Eldin and Aunt Michelle) to get it back. It was definitely worth the effort.
Dealing with all this AND having just moved here, It's been hectic these last few weeks. We've been very busy not only visiting the Hospital but also Paying bills, Getting food stamps applied for, Getting furniture when we can afford it, Shopping for food and cook-ware, Setting up a bank account, And lots of other stuff too. We've just been on the go constantly since this happened. Mama is now also under the care of a hospice. She's still in the room in the hospital, But as soon as a room opens up in the hospice she'll be taken there. Now one of our list friends Mary is coming tomorrow afternoon to visit.
Me and Eldin now have our Brand new Roller Blades. We're very happy about that. We went to the YMCA that is really close by here and took a tour and found out that for low-income people it is very inexpensive to join and get a membership. And all of this is the shortened version of what has been going on since I last wrote :P. So we've been very very busy. Byebye. Suppers ready so I got to go :).

What I've been up to in the last few months.
Hey, How's everyone been? It's been a while since I've wrote anything. Well, Lately we've been preparing to move to Austin Texas in the beginning of December. We're moving with just what will fit in the car. So we've been going through all of our stuff and deciding what we absolutely want to keep and what we can give to the thrift shop in town. We are now down to two cats. We put moon and latte down because they were un-adoptable. Moon was to old to adopt out and latte was scared of everything. So, that was hard but had to be done. Mango is getting very big now. He was neutered sometime last month, I believe. We got harnesses for twitch and mango, so that when we stop at a rest stop we can take them out of the carriers without worrying about them taking off. Cause you see we got leashes to go with the harnesses so they will be firmly attached to us at all times. We are going to be staying at a motel for a couple of weeks while we look for a apartment and while we look for work. Really looking forward to that!
Up until the middle of this week, I hadn't been sticking very well to my healthy way of eating. I was binging on Candy and soda and pasta and bread and feeling like crap. But I'm back on track now, Eating Just Meat/Fat/Eggs. And I'm feeling great again.My typical Breakfast is, Two Over Easy Eggs, One Large Burger Patty and Two to Three Pieces of Bacon. Keeps me full for hours!
Just recently I watched all three twilight movies that are out on dvd. I thought they were excellent! And I think that Bella should of chosen the werewolf Jacob. Not only was Jacob better looking then Edward, but Jacob's so sweet too. I think he would of been the better choice. Anyways now I'm totally hooked on Twilight! After we move and I have some money, I'm going to buy all the Twilight books. Because I know that the book is always better then the movie.
Well, That's all that's been going on lately. Got to go eat something I'm starting to get Hungry. Talk to you all later! Min'na baibai!

My eating plans for when I get pregnant. And a little about "Paleo baby".
Hello all, I'm back! lol. One thing I've been thinking about lately is what and how I'm going to eat when I get pregnant. My plan is, To eat plenty of good fats (Animal fat, Butter, Coconut oil) Basically alot of saturated fat. The meat will be grain free and soy free (Corn free too if possible) It will be Grass-fed and grass-finished Red meat, Completely free range Poultry, Eggs from said free range poultry (poultry will NOT be fed grains or soy or corn), Free range pork aloud to roam, it will also not be fed grains or soy, And Wild caught organic fish. My only supplements will be, at least 2grams of fish/krill oil, 10mg of astaxanthin and maybe some Folic acid. I've been thinking about this because I've been reading a few blog posts from people that did Strict Paleo during pregnancy and after pregnancy. The first one I read said that there baby was born with it's eyes wide open and was tracking daddys face and hands within minutes of being born. And at just 10 days old it could hold it's own head up. This other person said that they're baby was the same way, It was born with it's eyes wide open. And it could hold its own head up and push its self up with its arms by the age of 2 weeks old. Both of which are amazing testaments to how good Paleo is for you and for the baby! I'll link to the first blog. The second testament was one of the comments on said blog. Here's the link, http://hawaiianlibertarian.blogspot.com/2011/05/paleo-baby.html . It's a wonderful blog! Bye!

All about my day 8-31-11
My day started out at a little before noon. I woke up to the sound of sizzling bacon on the griddle. While the bacon was cooking, I went to do my body test on the "Wii fit plus". My weight was the same as yesterday's which was 102.1lbs. After my body test the bacon was ready so I went to eat it. Breakfast was 2 pieces of bacon cooked in bacon grease(duh). After breakfast I gathered some clean clothes and went to take a shower. Showering doesn't take me very long since my hair is still short so that's kinda nice. After the shower I got dressed and ready to leave for lebanon mo for our shopping. I wore a blue tank-top and my new size 14girls/kids jeans I got at the mall yesterday and my white flip-flops. The ride to lebanon wasn't very long about 30min if that. We were going to lebanon to price bathroom faucets for the bathroom sink. Ours has been broken for about a week or so. First we went to "Sutherland's" to find out how much they had them for. The cheapest one they had was $13. Of course that was also the most popular one (for obvious reasons) cause they were out of that one. The next one there was $20. So next we went to "Lowe's" to look and price. There cheapest one was $16.61. So that was a good price but we wanted to see if "Walmart" had anything cheaper. So next we went to "walmart" which was only the next drive way over. So before we went to price faucets here, I wanted to find out what there "Gluten free" pasta was made of. Cause I can't eat gluten and that includes corn. So anyway the "Gluten free" pasta was made from brown rice. Which is even worse for you then white rice. So I can't eat walmarts "Gluten free" pasta just like I can't eat regular pasta. So then we went to price faucets and we finally found "our" faucet. It was only $10. Then we went around the store to get, Eggs, Butter, A cantaloupe and Hamburgers. After we bought all that, We went to "Price cutters" to look for this special kind of pasta that's called "Jerusalem artichoke pasta" which is "Gluten free" and tastes just like regular pasta. The brand name of it was "DeBoles" we believe. Anyway, They didn't have it :(. Then we went to the deli section to look for food that mama could eat while driving. Needless to say, We couldn't find any healthy foods that you could eat while driving. So then we left the store and decided to go to "Mcdonalds" since me and mama were hungry and daddy "could eat". So we went and ordered 3 Mcdoubles, 2 small fries and 3 waters for lunch. Now before you say "But mcdoubles have wheat in them", We don't eat the buns. We take the buns off the mcdoubles and just eat the burger part of them. I didn't have fries but mama and daddy did. And we all got water. So the meal was pretty healthy overall. After we were done there we went back to "walmart" because we forgot razors for daddy. So we went and got the razors and we also got me a folder for my client records from when I was working. So after that trip to "walmart" we went home. I took a nap on the ride home. It was a good nap :). Once we got home I got on my laptop and entered all the food I'd had today into "fitday". We checked the mail before we pulled into the driveway. And one of the things we got was a "fingerhut" magazine. Once mama was done reading it, I decided to cut out the pictures of the magazine for a "dream" board or something like that. Once I decided to do that, Mama went to lay down for a nap and daddy was fixing the bathroom faucet. After I was done cutting out the pictures I threw the magazine in the trash. And then I put the pics in my dresser for now since I don't have a cork board to put them on right now. At which point I decided to organize the top of my dresser which was a horrible mess. So It's all organized now and my dresser fan is now on the floor of my closet cause it was in the way on my dresser. And now Latte can jump up there without knocking anything off of it. Afterwards I was kinda nauseous so I made myself some hotdogs without the bun and with mustard and some pickles. After that I came to play on my laptop and enter that food into fitday. Then I played on facebook reading Paleo blogs and articles until it was cool enough to go for a walk with mama. During the walk I was the "Listener" while mama ranted about some stuff. I'm a very good listener, I may not be able to give much advice but I can at least listen. Once we got back from the walk, I did the dishes for mama while she started dinner/Supper. I had to change my shirt after doing the dishes because it got wet. Supper was a large burger patty broiled in bacon grease and tomato sauce. It was delicious! Then again after that I got back on my laptop and entered that into fitday as well. I have eaten 1,212cal today so far. I might eat some more later. I am also going to work out later, Doing 10 push-ups straight backed. I do them with a slight elevation on my front. Then I'll do 12 Pilates. I hold my legs in the air at a 40 or 50 degree angle while I lift my shoulders up and down doing kinda like sit-ups. And that's about it for the day. Oh and we now have hot water from the bathroom faucet. We don't have cold water but I figure at least we HAVE water with the bathroom sink now even though it's only hot water. Thank you all for reading about my day. Byebye.
