Part 2 - She has Two Cats Named Jasmine and Belle!

I can't look at this picture and not smile. My heart fills up to the brim when looking at my sweet girls! Okay, this picture above isn't the best picture I have (and trust me, as a cat lady I have PLENTY), but it is the most recent one on my phone gallery. On the left is Belle, my family calls her Boo Boo, and on the right is Jasmine. We adopted them when they were only 6 months old on a windy day in August, 9 years ago. I thought, as it just became August, what better time to introduce them to you all!

This post may also turn into a "GET A CAT (or pet)" rant, but I do think that holding a fuzzy, living, breathing creature can help you deal with your emotions. Taking care of something helps you grow as a person. Looking into their hungry (always hungry) eyes makes you feel wanted, needed. It is a great feeling to be with a cat, my cats, and no amount of typing can every express that feeling. You just have to experience it!

My cats live with my dad and sister now, so I don't get to see them as much as I used to, which makes me very sad. They are getting older, but as mutt indoor cats, they still have many years left ahead of them. They've been through two big moves from house to apartment to another apartment. They've seen my family scream, cry and rejoice.

They both have opposite personalities, which isn't uncommon for two cats living together in the experiences I've known. Boo Boo is very shy, but when she wants to snuggle, she is the sweetest thing you could ever imagine. Jasmine never snuggles, but still likes pets, but her favorite is getting attention from new people who walk through the front door. They are picky eaters too - the only brand of cat food they like is the wet (and more expensive, of course) Fancy Feast, but no seafood. They on occasion like scraps, and for some reason love to eat the pepperonis off of leftover pizze and Tollhouse Crackers from their opened wrapper.

Boo Boo and Jasmine wear jingle collars so you can always hear them coming. Wearing bells, however, makes them poor hunters, as they have only ever caught one mouse in their whole lives. They have grey fur, but white underbellies, with stripes on top and spots on bottom. They have little "M"s on their foreheads. They also have dark "eyeliner" around their big green eyes. BooBoo's fur is a lot softer than Jasmine's, as we always figured she bathed more (but that's all genetics, duh).

I could go on and on about my girls, but instead I will stop here. One day I will have to tell you every story about them. How they make my family laugh and how they make us so happy. GO GET A CAT (or pet). JUST - GO DO IT.

Love,
glimmer

glimmer's Super Duper Analysis on "Is it Worth it?" Collection series Part 1: Crash Crate - Box Today we will be discussing the Crash Bandicoot Loot Box from numskull and Activision, known as the "Crash Crate". In articular, we are looking at the box itself. After all, all the goodies had to come in something fun and Crash Bandicoot-related, right? As you can see from the above image, the crate fits all of the items inside perfectly. When first opened, the mug was wrapped in bubble wrap. The piece of thick paper with a jungle image was combined with the Crash bottle opener, wrapped in a thin layer of plastic. Besides the missing plastic and bubble wrap, the above image does a good job of showing you all what it looked like when first opening the box. Now, let's talk about the design (my favorite part of the discussion). I pulled the above image off the fan-made Crash Bandicoot Wiki,  Bandipedia . God, you gotta love the names of these wikipe...

Today's Discussion is on Therapists I had my first ever therapist visit. Let's go over it together! Looking for a therapist is as stressful as applying for a job. I had to call my insurance, double check my plan, search on different websites, read their bios, check their location to make sure it isn't too far away from work or home, call them, get an appointment, figure out my co-pay, figure out my deductibles, fill out their forms, print out their forms and...ugh! But, I did it! Here we are. Luckily my insurance pulled a rabbit out of their hat and I only had a co-pay of $5.00. That's much cheaper than my sister or dad's therapists. As I have said before, my sisters and dad see a therapist. This was my first ever visit to a therapist, so I was quite nervous. Throughout the week I kept plotting in my head what could go horribly wrong. Would I just abruptly leave? What if the chair was not comfy? What if I started crying? Luckily none of those questions en...

g1immer's 3-Day Video Game Review! Shenmue 1 Re-Release Hi everyone! If you follow me on twitch, you may be aware that I picked up a physical copy of Shenmue 1+2 for the Playstation 4 on its release date (this Tuesday, 8/21/18). I will go over my experience with the game, pros and cons, memories it brings up, etc! I hope this won't be too scatter-brained, but let's dive right in! First off, this was a re-release, NOT a re-master or a re-make. The difference, to put it simply, is that a re-master has increased graphics and that is it. A re-make would be everything looks way more shiny and new. A re-release is basically just the game and all its bugs and quirks, slapped on the new system. Graphics may still look like they are from the 2000's, but that era always gives me the heart flutters (you are talking to a girl who loved her Nintendo GameCube so go figure)! The box came with a poster with the cover art and the image on the back of it, with some girl an...
