New Apartment, New Year!

So today is finally the day, Bennie (my roommate) and I, signed a lease on a two bedroom apartment I am kissing my tiny one bedroom apartment goodbye in favor of a new two bedroom! Bennie will get his own room and I will get an upgraded kitchen! I am so excited to start this new chapter in my life. I know that old mantra "new apartment, new me!" but I am not going to be doing to that I am just going to keep the old me she may have problems and dress like a potato but I like myself all in all BUT I do like the idea of decorating in a different way when moving into a new place I am so excited for all the new furniture and decor I am planning to get over the next year I am thinking light bright and airy. At least in the living room. I want to have plants and books galore to bad I broke my big book shelf oh well. I will post pictures when we start moving in on friday!

New Years Goals

So I know I am little late to the game but please excuse me for that because I am trying. Depression has been hitting me pretty hard but I seem to be getting better and I am working on this year being a better year!
So on with my goals!

• Reach five followers on the blog! 

This goal seems pretty simple and I wanted to make an easy goal to just have but getting followers for the blog has become rather hard as of late but I will continue to work on it with a fever!

• Get 300 monthly views on the blog! 

Again another simple goal but this one is difficult you have to find just the right tags to get people to come look at your blog. Then you have to keep them coming back!

• Reach 50 subscribers on YouTube.

I bet you didn't know I had a YouTube. Well I do! Currently we have 23 subscribers on YouTube and we are attempting to get 50 subscribers to bolster our ranks. If you want to see cute animal videos, reviews and vlogs, search MonsterMotley on YouTube and look for the cat icon!

• Reach 100 followers on Instagram.

This is another difficult goal for me because while it is the platform I am most active on it is also the one I see the least amount of pay back from but I plan on turning that around this year and with hope my not to evil plans will pay off!  If you want to find my Instagram search MonsterMotleyCrew and it should pop up as Motley with a cute picture of Monster sitting on a blue laptop.

• Do Outfit of the Month with Monster again.

So anyone who know Monster and me have likely heard the story about how when Monster was younger she use to rip out tuffs of her fur from anxiety. At the time I could not afford the medicine to help with that so my vet recommended that I put her in baby clothes ( 0 to 3 months fit a cat) and that evolved into outfit of the month on my Facebook page where every month I would but a new outfit (or several new outfits) for monster to where. Well now I want to do that on my Instagram and I already have six outfits that I have bought to try this. Oh and before anyone says anything the outfit do not hurt her and she doesn't mind them.

• Buy a Condo/Duplex/house 

This has been a long time dream of mine is to own my own property/place to live. I am sick of renting and for as much as I pay in rent I could easily own my own place. I don't mind a fixer upper or even a tiny home I just want to be done with renting and noisy neighbors and the politics of living under someone else's thumb.

• Finish my Degree. 

Another most people know about me is that since I turned 18 I have been going to College off and on. At first I didn't have a GED so I couldn't get financial aid. Now that I have my GED I am still having some trouble getting financial aid so I am still paying for my classes out of pocket and that would be okay if I didn't want to finish this year but gosh darn it I want to finish my degree!

• Monetize my social media.

Now when I am talking about social media I am talking two platforms in particular. Instagram and the blog. Now don't worry I am not going to flood you with ads disguised as a post I will most likely have the ad tucked away to the side or like I am doing now do an ad post ever wednesday or sunday and I will try to make it plain as possible that it is an ad. I will also not advertise a product I don't believe in. Now I cant help what shows up in google ad sense but I will try to filter it as much as possible but if I do an advertised post I will try the product first. I hate to have to Monetize at all but if I am to continue putting out content I need some income. (Outfits and treats for the Monster are not cheap!)

Goodbye Lima Bean!

Lima Bean went to his new home on Sunday before Christmas! He will be living with a single dad and his son. I think they will have a a wonderful life the three of them I dont think the cats of that household are to thrilled though!

While Coco for the time being will continue to stay with us as we look for a home. She is progressing well on her potty training only having one or two accidents a day and her crate training is going as expected with a lot of sleepless nights due to howling. She even made it up the front steps of our apartment all on her own today which is a huge step because before she was terrified of the steps! Now we have to work on getting her to ask us to be taken out when she needs to go but right now I would be happy with getting her to sit!

Sleepless Nights.

The puppies went through sleep regression as of recently. They have gone from sleeping through the night and waking up at 5 am to waking up every few hours and barking and howling for thirty minutes to an hour. Its been really hard on us but they get their shots on Friday then they can go home so we are excited for sleep again. We will miss them though this has been a very fun and interesting experience to go through. One of the homes for the puppies back out so now we are rehoming him to a new home and we are excited to interview possible homes.
Video of them howling and barking just a disclaimer we riled them up for this video they are alot noisier at night.
Yes by the way I have a youtube channel here it is have fun with that fact!

Announcement

Now that the puppies are not developing as fast to where I need updates every few days at least I have decided to change how often I post to every other day meaning Tuesday, and Thursday. Thank you for reading and I will see you on Tuesday with more posts!

Two Awesome days!

So on Saturday was my birthday I turned a mere 22 on the first of December. I started celebrating on Friday and went out and saw the new fantastic beasts movie (The Crimes of Grindlewald) and I enjoyed that very very much. If you have not gone to see yet I highly recommend it with out giving to much away Jude Law makes an amazing Albus Dumbledor! We proceeded to get into a debate on our way back to our vehicle about which is darker marvel or DC comics and some random stranger joined in that was fun.
The next day was pretty fun to I was woken by calls from many of my family wishing me a happy birthday even a few people called that I didn't expect so that made me smile. Then with the timing of an angel I got a birthday card in the mail with money in it so I used that money to go buy a birthday cake yummy! Then I went down to the family owned bar and had some food chatted with people and won some money on pull tabs! Finally in my favorite online horse game they released the holiday horses including reindeer which my player is famous for so I was able to buy some reindeer!
That wound down two wonderful days for my birthday!

I'm back!

After a short stint in the hospital I am back with a vengeance! Expect longer and more detailed posts. 

Puppy Update

A LOT has happened over the weekend with the puppies. Friday night Coco decided to surprise and be the first of the puppies to open her eyes and see the big wide world around her. The other puppies followed her on Saturday in the order of Vanilla, Lima and then Pinto! All three of the white ones have blues eyes while Coco looks to have brown eyes but I cant be sure on Cocos eyes because she does not open them very wide. Then on Sunday Coco and Pinto started walking on very shaky legs but walking never the less. They all now seem to be walking with some trial and error they seem walking a few steps before falling. I must say the Jelly leg walk is very very cute. I will be posting a video on youtube before long.
