g1immer's Pet Peeves in No Particular Order Number 2 - Not Following Proper Bathroom Etiquette No picture for this post as that would just be inappropriate (and taking a picture of a random stranger isn't?). So, I do not identify as a dude and therefore I use the ladies' or family bathrooms (there is only one at my work place which is annoying, but that's a topic for another day). This post will be my complaints about other people who identify themselves as 'women' or at least acknowledge that they want to use the women's bathroom. I will just call them "ladies", which I know is generalizing. Please don't take offense as anyone can use the women's bathroom! "There were more paper towels behind the door again," one of the guys chuckled as they came back from the men's bathroom. The guys at my workplace are always laughing about the men's room bathroom etiquette, but I don't have many people to share my stories...

Somethng You Don't Know About glimmer 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...

g1immer's Pet Peeves in No Particular Order Number 1 - Setting Your Child Down Where You SHOULDN'T Sorry, not sorry lady - you are today's featured topic. Well, I guess I should say you and your child. Today I'm starting off my series by saying I have a million and one pet peeves I'm just itching to complain about! I took the above picture yesterday while waiting for my donuts to be made at a place called Duck Donuts. I was really lucky because after I ordered my dozen cake donuts (no there were no crazy toppings - see my post on foods I hate at iHob ), like four different customers arrived in line after me. There were only two ladies working behind the counter, so one at the cash register and one topping the bakery goods. Glad my timing was perfect! My timing was also perfect to take a screenshot of this lady propping her toddler up on the counter where, as you can see if you look close enough, the employees set the donuts down for people to pick th...

I picked up a 5 Gallon fish tank and accessories! Part 1 - Background and Fish I Considered When I moved into my new apartment (around March, thanks to me breaking up with my boyfriend and wanting to live closer to work), I wanted something to take care of. Sure, my parents old cactus is great, but I'm pretty sure its dead (a story for another time). Because all apartment complexes are evil, they make you pay extra a month for housing a larger pet. With that, I decided I wanted a fish, as I haven't had one since a goldfish in a Spongebob Squarepants 2 Gallon tank in Elementary School. I remember that we had a Spongebob statue in our tank and I was terrfiied our little goldfish would get stuck between his legs (true story), but he never did. I haven't picked up my newest roommate yet, but I did a TON of research about what fish to get, what size tank to get, and what I needed to take care of the little guy. I ended up deciding to get a betta fish, which to b...
