Sorry!

Okay, I've said it before, I'll say it again. I'm a horrible blog updater! (Do the cute kitties give me some points?)

Crazy, crazy, life always gettin' in the way!

We had a family crisis. My favorite cousin, (sorry to any other cousins that may be reading) was really sick, but he's well on the way to good health now. YAY!!

Still trying to catch up on projects left alone too long. Sweeping up the shrapnel that I have left strewn across my life. One step at a time. One smile at a time.

In the meantime...

D-dasha is still behaving bizarrely. Continues to find unusual places to sleep, and sit. Just this morning, I was toasting a bagel for myself. I use a small cutting board to cut, and shmear the bagel, I turned to put the stupid thing in the toaster, and when I turned back around, she had her front paws on the board crouching over it... so I tilted it up onto the cream cheese container... SHE STILL TRIED TO GET ON IT! You would have wet yourself watching her scuttle around in circles on the kitchen island trying to find something to _be_ on!

My sad, sad, life! And as usual,

Thanks for Noticing me!

Okay, I think I might have gotten this right this time! Woo hoo!

I wanted to start off this post with something I actually finished (Yay!) I don't paint much, and when I do it's usually something fairly simple... This was easy as pie and came out SO cute! It's a footstool, I use it for my laptop...

The rest of these are from our 2 weeks of non- stop snow. It's not that it snowed hard all the time, or was a light snow that gradually covered the place, it's that it almost never stopped! Sometimes hard, sometimes light, sometimes it even stopped for an hour or so, but that was rare.. I wish the snowflake pic had come out better... We don't actually get singles up here, usually it's several flakes intertwined, or these odd pellet type flakes... A common refrain around the house is "It's styrofoaming again!"

Well, at least the deer had fun with it! I really do love these guys!

Well, strap your skis on, and as usual,

So, the girls are still enjoying their gifts... Dasha, as usual, ran the show... The little ham! They were sleeping Oh so peacefully, before the boys woke up that is!

Mona came to investigate, but quickly left. She doesn't do crowds.
Dasha had to test each thing, just to make sure it was right... Squeeky mouse, squeeks? good! Scratch pads for the scratcher? Good working order! LMAO!

Every one got new collars, in color order, (pink for Lady Mona Twitchalot, black, or royal purple for Her Royal Hinie, D-dasha D-darlin, green for princess Mystique) and new mice to chase around... Kept in reserve for when they lose the first string!

The kitten however, not so much with the Christmas vibe... That's her tail! POUFF!


Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season, and I hope all your gifts are in good working order! 8~D

As always...

Too many pics!

I hate putting pics up... I never get it quite right!

Why on earth is it underlined?! Oh well... so this is my sis, "son #3", and son #2, setting up the tree, which came out beautiful again.
Even Rub-a-dub- dolly is geared up for the season!
These are the snowflakes I was working on. I love them! I want to make them every year now!

I have SO many pics, and I guess I'll just go in order... Next time, "A kitty Christmas" Stay tuned! LOL!

I hope you all had an awesome Holiday season! I know I did.

Goodbye 2009, hello 2010! May all the best things happen for you this year!

And as always...

Thanks for Noticing me!

Just a quickie, I swear I haven't forgotten you, and there'll be a ton of pics later, But I'm workin' my fingers to the bone to finish off these gifts!
I have more stars, snowflakes, hats and scarves, (I gave up hope on finishing sweaters this year!)

So please don't give up on me!

Holiday stress _AWAYYYYYYYY_!

Thanks for Noticing me!

Another Kitty Post

Okay, I admit it, I'm obsessed with my girls! But they're so damn ODD!!! Ddasha Ddarlin' has this new issue, where she can't touch the floor, unless it's to eat, and even then she hopes for a scrap of paper, or a dust bunny... She also has to find the oddest place to sit that she can find...
The salad bowl... A doily someone knocked down... (We suspect Myste!)


A cookie platter, _and_ she allowed son #1 to carry her through the house on it! And my personal favorite... The fruit bowl.

ISSUES!!!

My demented kitty... *sigh* Enjoy and protect your pets! And as usual...

Thanks for Noticing me!

I can never seem to get the picture layout quite right!

Oh well. I hope you all had an awesome Thanksgiving day! We started with cheese and crackers, and a relish tray (pickles and olives) around noon.

We set such a pretty table....

The bird was _beautiful_! (Thanks mom!) and then the rest of the food was served up, FEAST!

Left us all feeling like fat happy cats!

A few things I'm thankful for this year...

My healthy, beautiful, children...
My near and far family and friends...
facebook, because it reconnected me with people I once loved, and now love again, those I never got the chance to know before, new friends to stay in touch with, and old and dear friends that we don't get to see as often as we like...
Even though it's crappy, I still have a job...
My girls, that keep my spirits up, and bring smiles every day of my life...
The roof over my head, the food in my fridge, and the fact that in just a few short weeks, the holiday season will be over and the madness can end!

Count your blessings everyday, and as usual,
