The sunbathers

February 4, 2012

The sun is shining bright today and these sunbeams got the kitties out of the bedroom (their usual daytime hangout) into the kitchen to absorb every ray. I guess they must get really warm, they are black after all. They must absorb every bit of heat there is.

Buddies for ages

January 28, 2012

Last night I took my boiled oranges cake to my buddy, Wheezy’s, place in Yaletown and enjoyed a good old-fashioned potluck. Not one of us brought salad or veggies, so my cake served as a serving of fruit for the meal. We enjoyed delicious scalloped potatoes – Wheezy does them up right, some Chinese food, [...]

One reason

January 19, 2012

I took photos of all the kitty loaves around the house today starting with the always intense-looking, Oscar. He’s a nice guy – sometimes a bit aloof, but he’s not as grumpy as he looks.

Welcome back!

January 13, 2012

Oh man. I had another evening of pacing around the house last night waiting for my blog to stop forbidding me to enter. That was a weird error screen. VERBOTEN! But, it’s much better now. Hopefully it will stay that way. Yesterday was a big day. We celebrated my co-worker, Ada’s, last office birthday ever. [...]

Hippo Birdy two ewes!

Guess who’s birthday it is today? My sister, C@thy’s! Now is the time I blow the dust off some old photos in the archives and have a good time at my sister’s expense! I am so glad we have lots of photos of us when we were little. It was like my mom knew facebook [...]

We had a ball!

December 30, 2011

I went on a road trip today to Seattle and met up with Stacey and Baby Leyton for the first time ever! Stacey and I have been online pals for a few years and, finally, we met in the flesh today! Huzzah! Please note: I could not stop touching Leyton’s hair. He’s got the softest, [...]

Ding dong!

December 28, 2011

8:45 am – *doorbell* DING! DONG! Me: Hey Mike, you should probably get that. I’m sure it’s that package you’re waiting for. (Yep. I was in bed still. It’s my vacation and Mike is currently working evenings. That’s my story, I’m sticking to it.) Mike: Oh yah! Me: Heh…(I HATE answering the door when I [...]

Mini Polaroid photos

December 27, 2011

This is a REAL polaroid photo – I didn’t create this in photoshop or anything. It’s from my fabulous Christmas present from Mike – a FujiFilm Instax Mini 7S. It creates little Polaroids – the photos are about 4 inches by 3 inches. So. Cute. I’ll be able to make some fun little crafty things [...]

The boys are famous.

December 25, 2011

I would write more, but I’m so tired from all the festivities and all the drinking of hot beverages from our fancy kitty cat mugs. Today we drank coffee AND tea from these glorious mugs we got for Christmas from Mike’s mom and dad in Nova Scotia. We’ve been switching the mugs back and forth [...]

Advent Day 7 – STOP! In the name of art!

December 7, 2011

Mike: Carol, are you feeling better now? Carol: *gulp* Yup. Just embarrassed. I missed them. I missed Will & Kate. I saw Will’s shiny, white teeth…and then I fainted. Dave: Nah, Mike took photos! You can review them fondly. Carol: Thanks. *frowny* I just don’t have what it takes to be a paparazzi. I would [...]
