Blog Like You Mean It
Happy Monday!! Hope everyone had an awesome weekend!!
I am trying to practice positivity and happiness and bringing positive things to me by changing my thoughts. Different for me, but I am really working on it. So my inspiration and motivation this week is about being positive and being happy.
I hope it helps you to start off your week on a positive foot!!
Two of these graphics came from Joy of Dad. I found them on Facebook. The middle one I made.
I don’t know if I’ve written about this before, but I have mad love for Olan Rogers.
He is HILARIOUS!! And he’s adorable.
Look at him! His cat’s named Starscream.

He has a YouTube channel and has a number of videos where he tells stories. I laugh so hard every. single. time!!! Like, tears coming out of my eyes laughing.
My very favorite video is called Ghost In the Stalls. Hilarious. OMG. I still laugh every time I watch it.
I think he’s funny because he cracks himself up while he tells the stories. And he doesn’t swear but says things like, “What the poop?” which is pretty funny.
He also has made a number of non story telling videos that are pretty funny. And makes videos for Fandango that are called Admit One.
Olan made a video about his fear – or maybe hate is a better word – of moths. I can totally relate to this because moths are horrible!! They fly all around your face and when you kill them THEY LEAVE DUST. That is not natural.
Quick story… a number of years back, my husband and I lived with my sister and nephew. My sister and I were sitting in the living room watching TV one night and I looked over at the lamp and there was a moth on the shade.
I swear to God, it was at least as big as a baseball. The sucker was HUGE!
I immediately started freaking out and then so did my sister. We threw things at it and I can’t even tell you what happened with the thing. I just know it was horrific and huge and i freaked out.
I don’t do moths. <<shudder>>
So me and Olan are pretty much on the same page as far as moths go.
If you have some time and want to watch something funny you should definitely check his channels out. You won’t be sorry!!
I am so excited!! I commissioned an artist I found, quite by accident, on Instagram to create a digital portrait of two of our animals.
I definitely wanted Topaz and had her choose one of the cats. She chose Snorty!!
Here’s how they came out:
The photo used of Topaz was taken hours after he had a seizure and I took the one of Snorty today.
I love them both!! We will definitely be commissioning her to do the rest of the zoo. Gotta get them done in shifts though. I’d LOVE to get them printed and frame them for the living room. That would be sweet!
The artist’s Instagram pages are: @drawn_to_your_dog_kianaleilani and @drawn_to_your_cat_kianaleilani.
We commissioned her on her website: http://kianaleilani.weebly.com/ and we paid $30.00 for the two of them.
I am creative – not bragging, just a fact – but I cannot imagine being able to create something like that.
I love digital art!!!
I’m glad she posted these tonight. I was going to totally write about the crappy night I had and how I flipped out on my husband over dinner…
But sharing this is totally better!!
Maybe tomorrow I’ll tell the meltdown story.
Till next time…
