So Sorry

I've been gone for so long. I'm okay. Nothing big has happened to me since my last post. I've been vlogging on a collab channel, CatsChannelCCDB, and I'd love it if you go check it out. Its a group of Cats fans getting to know each other over the web. We talk about Cats and ourselves. So, yeah.

My boyfriend may have bronchitis and I am getting a sore throat; ick. I hope I'm not sick too.

I'll try and keep ya'll updated on my vlog, TuggerBombaMunkus on Youtube.

What's Up

So Todd and I have moved into the new apartment and are getting settled in. Here is a video walkthrough of the apartment. Kind of a "welcome to the apartment" video. Sorry if it is is hard to hear, I used my iPod to video it.

Also I do commissions for tails and warmers. Here is my commission info:

Tails
Long (thin) - $20
Long (fluffy) - $20
Short - $10
Bob - $5

Warmers
Knee high - $20
Elbow high - $20
Half - $10

I accept payment by paypal or I will do trades. Which is where I make something for you and you do something for me.

I have one commission so far; for a friend, its a tail and warmers.

Well, that's all I have for now. Will update more later

What I've Been Up To

Well I now have a boyfriend ---> We have been together for a month now.

And I've been working on costuming stuff:


And some of the new faces I've tried:


A bit of sad news, for my friends and the people I chat with online:

I will not have access to internet for a few weeks starting the 7th. Todd and I are moving out of the apartment we live in now and are going to be sorta homeless for the next few weeks; or at least until our new apartment is ready.

I am also working on Skimble warmers and a Macavity tail.

As to what happened with me and RTT, he is leaving Iowa to go back to Oregon. :( We will continue to be friends and keep in touch.

Bombalurina at the Fair

Happy 4th of July

Well today is the fourth of July and I went to watch the fireworks as a Cat. Yes. A cat.











It was so much fun, except the suit stuck to me
afterwards cause it was so hot. :(

Just A General Update

Well for those that don't know I am now part of a collab channel on Youtube. It is for Cats fans about Cats and anything else we decide to vlog about. Here is the link If you like Cats you should go check it out and subscribe. Please and thank you.

On another topic. My exercising. Yeah, well I haven't been lately and it shows. Haven't lost any weight, at all   but its all my fault. On a note I get my bike this week or the first part of the next so YES, that means I will be riding it more and getting exercise that way. It is my goal to weigh 160; it is still big but smaller than what I am now.

I don't know what else to update on; oh yes. My therapy.

I had a another session on the 7th. I have been doing okay, had a hiccup a couple weeks ago and broke my laptop again. Not good, now using  a desktop. It works but I can't curl up with it like I'm used to Oh well, that is what I get for loosing control of my anger for a split second.






On my love life.

May get to date RTT. So happy about that. He has confessed his feelings for me and now I'm waiting for him to ask me.

More later.

Love you guys

Trip to Chicago and Bomba Update

As you can see my mom took me to Chicago to see CATS and I went in costume. It was Bombalurina's debute as a costume and I believe I wore her well.

I had a great time and wish I could see it again. It was my first time seeing it live and OMG I loved it.

If I could go to the final show in Bowling Green, KY I would. That is no lie.

Except I would wear a different cat. Just saying.

Wouldn't want to wear her out too fast XD




Here is a link with all the pictures

Meow

I'm going to be catting around tomorrow with RTT XD YES!

I love catting around and tomorrow I get to be Bombalurina. Yes, you heard right, she is finished. Well, mostly. Still needs proper shoes but I'm working on that. And she needs gloves but may not get them... I don't know. I'll leave that up to popular opinion.

I'll be posting pics on DA and Facebook. Keep in touch ya'll.

Snow is White

Today is Thursday, April 20^th and it is snowing.

Lovely. Maybe I am imagining it. Nope, even Mrs. A says so. She is my host and Todd’s mom. Well, so much for a beautiful day. Now don’t get me wrong, I love snow. It is beautiful but cold. Gotta love Michigan. XD

On a happier note, I have sent the money for my wig to Zaberneva and she says it will be sent on Saturday. Which means I will have it by possibly Wednesday. I can’t wait. Now if only Peter can finish the suit; I hope he is all right. I don’t want to rush him because I know he has school and everything. I am just so eager to see it and wear her.

As for my countdown of days; I’ve lost track and will update when we get home.

Update

Today is Monday, April 16^th and I still have my puppy thanks to a fluke that didn’t let Ms. Linda work out. sad face I was really hoping that it would. But he proved to be too much for her to handle. We were going to take him to a shelter today, but it is snowing. And Todd’s mom won’t let him take Apollo into Ironwood because she is worried about the road conditions. Oh well, tomorrow for sure he will be gone. Again, don’t get me wrong. I love him but it is for the best. I may regret letting him go but I am so nervous that he is going to do something bad that I am having very little fun. He needs a one person, one dog home where he can run and play and get all the attention he needs without having to share. And he cannot get that here with us.

I had a dream about CATS last night. It was cool. I wish it were real; I miss catting around.

Like you saw earlier, it is snowing here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and of course that makes me L I’m not a big fan of snow. At least not when it is blowing so hard it forms a wall of white. I can barely see the lake from my window. It’s 35 degrees Fahrenheit outside. That’s cold for those of you in Europe and places that use Celsius. I miss Alabama and the warmth that we normally have this time of year. But it seems, according to the news, they are dealing with tornadoes and bad weather today. I’ll keep them on my mind and in my thoughts and prayers.

Well as of this afternoon Apollo is gone. We took him to the HOPE shelter in Ironwood. He is in a good place now, I know it.

My Birthday

Today is my birthday. So much for a happy one. We left to this morning to go visit Todd’s mother in Michagen and well, the car ride was okay. As okay as having to ride with two dogs in a hot car for 7 hours can be. Then we got to her house and sighs it was alright until she got home. Apollo met her dog and there was almost a fight. I can not handle that kind of stress. I just can’t. I forgot my meds this morning and so I had a mental breakdown when that happened. I’ve been crying most of the time we have been here.

I’m watching Aladdin on ABC family. It is helping me to relax. So don’t judge.

sighs again I don’t want to get rid of my dog, but I feel it is the right thing to do.

On the subject of RTT, he talked to Todd and he said he doesn’t want to break my heart because he doesn’t think I’m mentally up to it if we were to break up. Which is bound to happen; it happens in every relationship sooner or later in one way or another.

Well, so much for a happy birthday. Cries

Just An Update

I'll be in MI next week so I will not be online that much.

What to make of this...

RTT: what did you tell wendy ?
RTT: may I ask?>
Tugger21: only that we kissed and it was me that did it
Tugger21: why?
RTT: kk
RTT: hheh
Tugger21: the rest is *zips lips*
RTT: todd was asking  questions
Tugger21: he's nosy
RTT: heheh
RTT: just asked If I Was falling for you
Tugger21: and you're not, so there's no biggy
RTT: indeed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tugger21: though u did say you'd date me; or were drunk
RTT: I would .. but I dont want any stress on you
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ashley: oh, why do you think dating me would be stressful? just curious you don't have to answer
Ashley: sorry about that
Ashley: todd has been bugging me as well and he saw what you said and yeah,
RTT: stresfull no
RTT: I just  dont want to break your heart

How would you break my heart?

Happy News

Well, I found out earlier this week that my mom was able to get enough money to take me to see CATS when it comes to Chicago the first week in May. XD I am soo happy, I'm stoked. Which may or may not be a word; don't judge me. I don't care.

My Bombalurina suit needs another coat of paint, another setting and snaps on the legs. Then it will be here, I hope. Soon. I am ordering a wig, not enough patience to actually make one. Don't judge me. :p

Found a CATS CD for $2. Me = happy. Listening to it as I type. Yep. I'm that obsessed. Judge as you will. Also, yesterday saw a guy in Best Buy wearing a CATS sweatshirt, it made my day to say the least.


Well, on a none CATS topic, there is a certain guy that has said he would date me, but, quote "I would .. but I dont want any stress on you" I'm not sure how to take it.Ya see, he's told me three times he'd date me and it confuses me. But we are both 80% homosexual. Odd aint' it. Thanks fate. Love ya too.

Well, that's been my week.

Easter Sunday

Happy Easter everybody!

Today is my last day with Peter.

To say the least it has been an interesting weekend.

With our combined efforts the Bombalurina suit is mostly done as of 8:23 a.m. on this Easter Sunday morning. All that needs doing, in order to the best of my knowledge is; heat dry the body, paint the arms, add the snaps to the shoulders and then I make the wig when I get back to Todd’s.

I have had limited Internet access simply because we have been busy working on the suit and I haven’t wanted to get online that much.

On the CCDB I have made a few friends: BigTimeRushJellice, MacavityManiac, Khan, whitetiger, Pouncival and xxDizzyxDreamerxx. I don’t know them that well yet, but I believe we shall slowly get to that point. Heck, Peter and I started out as Skype chat buddies and now we’re like best friends. I guess. I think so; I don’t know. It is too early in the morning for my brain to function normally.

Sad Day for Cats Fans

This is the worst day of any Cats fan’s life. As of May 13^th there will no longer be a tour running. They are canceling the tour. Yes, it is official.

Call me selfish, but I don’t care. This day sucks major balls. I’ve already been crying and my heart feels like its about to just stop. Let me explain why. I have never had the money and therefore the privilege to see the show live. I had the chance twice, but because of money; I didn’t. You see my issue. I have no more chances. Unless, by some miracle, I am able to see it in Chicago. Don’t know how that will happen, but yeah; Chicago is my last chance for Heavyside knows how long.

I don’t even have the heart to Cat around or listen to Cats. I want to scream and cry and just make a fool of myself, that’s how sad this day has become.

Well, hopefully the next time I post it will be happy.

CCDB and News

So this is my attempt at Japanese Mistoffelees for this month's challenge on the CCDB. Because all I have is face paint, it doesn't look as good as I would like, but can't hate a girl for trying. With time and better materials I will get better. On a happy note, I got my package today. So that means I can start work on my Bombalurina costume. I've started on the warmers already and will start the tail tomorrow. I may get to spend either this weekend or next with Peter, so hopefully I'll get more of it done then as well. Wish me luck.

So Annoyed

My yarn and loom are not here yet. They were supposed to be here Monday but thanks to a mixup with the landlord they weren't. And then thanks to a mixup at UPS they weren't here today either... hopefully they will be here tomorrow. I really want to start work on my warmers. And get my makeup for the March challenge done.

What I Can't Say Yet

My ex posted a journal and this is just what I wanted to comment but can't because it will out her.

You have a bright future without me in your life. I miss you so much and I wish I could be there for you.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On a brighter note, next month I get to hang out with Peter for an entire weekend YES
That means I can work on my Bombalurina costume and possibly get most of it finished. I am so excited. My package should be here tomorrow so I can finish the tail and start on the wig.

My mom is trying to come visit me as well.

Also getting to go to Michigan, which should be fun.

Will update ya'll on that next month when it happens.

Update

Well, its been a while since I've updated my blog.

I've been busy with taking care of my puppy and helping with Rissa. Also trying to help around the house; which is hard because I'm not used to having to do that much. But I try.

I've decided to start making a tail for my OC Jellicle, Charlotte. She is a silver Bengal cat, but thanks to an unfortunate accident she is now green. So its fun and helps me with my patience. I'll post pictures on Deviantart as it progresses.

I may or may not get to cat around with Peter this month, its kinda saddening. I love cosplaying as a Jellicle.

On a sad note; the car died. As in no longer is going to work. So Todd is out as I type trying to find a new one. I wish him luck.

On a costume note again, I have yet to start on the wig for Char but I'm nervous about it because its not a typical wig.

Wish me luck.

How is everyone else's Spring Break going?

General Update

On the 7th I have my next therapy session.

On the 22nd I have a med evaluation. Its where I go to find out what meds I might need. YAY.

I'm so sarcastic. Really, I try.

I sent off the money for a tail; it should be here next week. XD I'm so stoked. Yes, I used that word. Deal.

I am going to order some yarn and make a wig and tail for Charlotte, one of my Jellicle OC cats. Wish me luck.

On a sad note; I'm worried about Caitlin. A lot. Yes, I still worry. That won't change. I just hope it gets easier to deal with the pain. Maybe one day. I hope.

Well, its time for bed. So I'll post this and see ya'll later.

The CCDB

This is kind of a rant.

I feel so invisible on there. Even to my "friends". I post something, or say something and go unnoticed. It feels so unfair. I know all of the other users have known each other longer and bull shit, but still. If I didn't enjoy going on there so much I'd just leave. Give up on the community.

But, I'm stubborn. I'll stay.

And just suffer in silence.

=^_^=

Happy Birthday Mom

Today is my mother's 14th birthday.

Yep. You read that right.

Actually she is 50+ but I can't help but think of her as that young. It makes me laugh. I know. I know, I'm horrible. But it is funny. Admit it.

Well, that's all for now.

Prayer Request

I talked to my mother tonight and she told me that my grandfather had hernia surgery today.

The good news: He made it through surgery and is at home. On the other hand, the next two weeks are going to be tough.

New Hair Cut

Snow Photos

These were taken outside the house.   

Puppy playing in snow.

The video of him playing is up on Youtube.

Giving Shots...

Well, I just tried to give my puppy his last shot and I was so nervous about the needle and annoyed at my friend for insisting on helping that I failed epically. -sigh- I really just wish some people would learn when to leave me the fuck alone.

Friday the 13th

This is officially the worst day of my life. Apart from the day I was dumped this is it.
 This morning my mom called to let me know that one of my favorite uncles had passed away.
Only yesterday I had found out that my friend's dog, Simon, had been put down.

This week isn't over yet; can it get any worse?

Update: Yes it can. Before the day was even over I found out that my ex's dog and died the night before.

SNOW

Yes, it is snowing in Iowa. Don't get me wrong, I love snow, but; it is soooooo cold when the wind is blowing. I intend to get a video of Apollo playing in the snow and possibly of me.
