Happy Easter, a day late

Yesterday after we got back from church we planted petunias, see...

Then, we decided to decorate a few eggs, we're kids at heart, really. I was unsuccessful at creating any photo worthy eggs, plus we pretty much ate them as soon as we were done.

And, since we only boiled six eggs, 3 a piece, I got bored (in typical me fashion) and decided to tie dye my washcloth that I was using to wipe up any spills.

That was my Easter. It was a beautiful day outside and I regret that I didn't have the forethought to take any pictures, but take my word for it, it was gorgeous.



Today, was not so gorgeous, a bit overcast and humid and I had to take Sasha in for some shots...boy was she pissed! She spent 8 hours after I brought her home hiding under my bed. Now the poor girl is super sore and keeps rubbing her shoulders on our not quite finished floors. She's super miserable, poor baby.

The weird, the cute and the snuggly

Have you ever looked at something and found it so pleasing to your eye you just had to take a picture of it then later asked yourself why you were taking a picture of your toiletries and shower paraphernalia? Well, that's exactly what I did yesterday. I got into the shower and thought to myself, "I'm loving this color palette!" So as soon as I was done with my shower I went and got the camera. Now, normally, I adamantly defend my weirdness but in this case I have no argument nor defense. But take a look, don't the colors just look really lovely together?

Please forgive the dirty grout.

Yeah, yeah, I know, "weird".

Now onto the cute...when I'm on my laptop in bed, I naturally have it on my lap, my kitty likes to sneak up under it and fwap at my wrists as I'm typing. How cute is that?!

The snuggly:

I don't have anything to say about this picture but I just had to throw it in.

Doh!

Ok, clearly I don't quite understand the whole post-a-day concept because yesterday is missing one. In my defense, I was pretty much asleep at 6:30 last night having been kept up by the kitty the night before who finds my face a very comfy sleeping spot. So that's why there's a missing post. I promise a very proper post later today.

Saturday ramblings

I'm not a scientist so I don't really know how much stock to put into the whole global warming thing but I do know that there's gotta be some explanation for all the wierd weather that we've experienced here in the last few years. Take this week for instance...on Wednesday it was 104, today it was in the 60's and raining. Wierd and just so you know I prefer today's weather all the way.

Anyway, just out of curiosity, do any of you cat owners know if kittens grow out of biting? Does it magically go away when they become adults? I really hope so cuz this little kitty has some sharp little teeth.

I know what you're thinking - how could a face that cute hide such lethal teeth? Oh, but trust me, my friend, it does. She has a knack for finding the really sensitive spots on feet and hands. So please tell me they grow out of this! Oh, by the way, we decided on a name. Everybody, meet Sasha.

What's in a name?

Here are a couple more pics of the new kitty. Since I've decided to keep her I feel bad calling her "kitty" so I was wondering if anybody out there had suggestions for a name? Leave it in the comments if you do. I'd love to hear any and all suggestions. Oh, yeah, we don't know if it's a boy or a girl...the vet couldn't tell, she's still too little, but I'm pretty sure she's a she, I think.

Cute Kitty

In my last post I mentioned that we might have a new addition to our household but I didn't want to say too much cuz I wasn't really sure. Well, I'm still not sure but I just couldn't keep these pics to myself anymore. We had this little teeny tiny kitty show up at our office with no mommy cat in sight so Gloria, whom I carpool with, and I decided to take her home and get her washed up and checked out by my vet. So, an hour of bathing and a $77 trip to the vet later I had this little fur ball. Originally, I brought her home thinking I could find a good home for her but couldn't find anybody to take her, so I thought I'd end up keeping her but there are a few things that have me thinking otherwise. First, I'm having allergy issues. I don't know if they are to her or just general allergies which I get 3 or 4 times a year. Second, my dog only tolerates her to a point then he starts nipping at the little scamp. And third, I'm not sure I have the energy to keep up with this little ball of energy, especially during the moving process. I have a friend who knows someone who wants a kitty so they might take her but, really, I go back and forth in my head about wanting to keep her. So, for now, we have this spazzy little hair ball tromping around our home.

She's ADORABLE!

And did I mention spazzy?

Little kitties are such fun to watch.

She was absolutely flea infested and super skinny but just after 3 days she's getting some meat on her bones and has ALL her energy back.

This was before his tolerance ran out.


This is WAY before the tolerance ran out. He actually looks happy here.
