My New Life and My New Home

May 22, 2014 by Ashley Leave a Comment

My life this year has been pretty crazy and intense.  I am used to normalcy and living a life that is very predictable.  I made the choice to move my life forward this year and on January 15th I did just that.  I packed up my car with my two cats and anything I could fit in my little Ford Focus and made the four hour drive from Waterford, MI to Roselawn, IN where my new life was to begin.  I was nervous and scared and that day was the hardest one I had gone through in the past six years of my life.  Before making this move the hardest thing for me had been giving up my beautiful daughter for adoption.

The next few months were very hard for me, but I loved it.  I was able to make a new best friend with a lovely young woman who will always mean something special to me.  She pulled me out of the darkness that I was feeling.  She helped make me go outside and live life again.  I can say that I do not think I would be the much stronger woman that I am now if I had not had her support and strength to help me out.  Every day I miss my dog, Kratos, but I know that there is no way that I could have taken him with me because I was not his true owner.

happy kratos
I miss you big boy!

With that being said I love my new puppy just as much if not more that I ever loved Kratos.  Luna is crazy, insane, and so very special.  She is my love, my strength, and my life.  She makes it possible for me to keep moving forward.  She reminds me that I have a reason to live and a reason to keep going on a daily basis.  She is an amazing dog and I am so glad that Melissa helped me pick her out and name her.

The time came for me to move again as my friend Melissa sold her house and I needed to be moved within a week.  It was a very hard week for me and it is why I was mia for awhile.  I was in full on panic mode as I did not have a place lined up for me to go to.  I was lucky enough to find a great home in Hartford City, IN to move.  I now have a new roommate and am fully moved in.  Luna and Deimos made the move successfully though I will morn the loss of Gonzo for some time as he ran off during the moving process and I was unable to find him.

Gonzo you will be missed!
Gonzo you will be missed!

For now I am still working on unpacking all of my things and finding a home for all of my possessions, but I am slowly turning this room into my own and I am making it a much girlier home than it was before I moved in here. It will no longer be a bachelor pad.  With this I shall end this and just say that I am grateful for all of my family and friends who have been here for me all year.

My new home.

Throwback Thursday – My Precious Kitties – Farewell Gonzo

May 22, 2014 by Ashley 3 Comments

My cats the first day I brought them home.

 Throwback Thursday Kitties

Looking back at my pictures made me think about the day that I brought my kitties home for the first time. The vet said that they were between 4-6 months old. They were an early birthday present for me as we had, had to put down our cat, Tigger, only a month prior to getting these fur babies. It was January of 2011 and they changed my life..

I am sad to say that during my last move one of my fur babies got away and I was unable to find him. It has been two weeks now with just my one kitty and my puppy and I still miss Gonzo. (Gonzo is the grey striped cat on the right.) I think I will keep missing him for a very long time.  For now this is all I can do to mourn the loss of my precious kitty cat.

Gonzo I love you where ever you may be!

I hope that you are safe from harm!

Welcome to Parisomonious Pash!

November 21, 2011 by Ashley 1 Comment

Hello to everyone out there.  I wanted to put an initial beginning post to explain a little about why I am making this blog, Parsimonious Pash.  I have begun my trek of couponing in order to save some money.  Not only am I doing this, but I am also scouring the internet for deals, samples, giveaways, and websites to help you and I earn a little bit of money outside of the normal work realm.

A little bit about me.  I am a full-time student who goes online (I am taking a Spanish class online) and I also work Part-Time as a clerk in an office.  Aside from this I am disabled and I take care of my two cats and dog which I love so much! 

This is my cat Gonzo he loves climbing and sleeping under
my lamp on the mantel over my fireplace!
This rascal is Deimos and he loves to play with mice filled with catnip
and he can’t turn down any food!
This buddy here is Kratos he is a loveable lab that thinks he is a lap dog
and at the age of five he still thinks that he is a puppy full of energy all the time!

I also, spend my free time with my boyfriend.  I am an avid reader, love TV shows, movies, and video games.  I will be posting up reviews of products including new ones that I try.  These may include household items, books, electronics, video games, pet products, and more.

**Note: Parsimonious Pash is still under construction so expect many changes in appearance to come since, I have many banners and backgrounds to make.**
