Miss Me?

Miss me?

I've been gone for SO long - and it completely wasn't planned. I even had drafts ready to go back from 2008. But, life is life and things happen and so I stopped blogging for a while (OK, well, 2 years =)

I'm back and I'll definitely be blogging at least once a week! Although, the pics are starting to be a lot less cute and the boys are all grown up!

BUT! I have news!!! Last year in March I got a puppy! Huge step for me, but I just knew it was the right time. So, I am now the proud mama to 3 cats... not kittens =( and a dog... no longer a puppy!

I'll blog all about it so you can get meet Harry, the whippet! And you get to see pics of the cats all grown up.

It's been so long but I'm happy I'm back.

Can't wait to check out everyone's blogs!

Yay! An Award!

Yay! We received our second award ever
from Samantha and Tigger! Thank you!

It's the You Make My Day Award.

The You Make My Day Award is presented to bloggers whose blog brings you happiness and inspiration and makes you feel happy about Blogland. The rules are to pass the award along to up to 10 Kitties.


Now I have to pass it on to up to 10 other blogging cats.
Ok, I'll have to decide and post later who I've chosen!

Thank you once again, Samantha and Tigger! You made my day!

Evil Cat

This is what Torrey thinks of me taking pictures of him!


He becomes the EVIL CAT!!

My Cinnamon Rolls

Here are a few samples of my mini cinnamon rolls that I made a few nights ago as a trial for my brother's wedding. They are yummy - secret recipe =)

Iced and ready to go to school!


A close up!

Just before icing them!


The cupcake paper I put each one in.



It's amazing, one batch of dough makes 12 large cinnamon rolls, or 32 (possibly 40) mini ones. I can't believe that I can squeeze three to four times more out of one batch if I make mini ones! I'm hooked and probably won't make big ones again for a while! Mini are the way to make way more people happy!

Thursday Thirteen (#9) - Hanging Out in the Living Room

Some of the positions Sebastian sits in look uncomfortable and awkward, but for some reason he is able to sit like that for hours! Here are a few of him hanging out in the living room (with a few of Starbuck and Torrey taken at the same time!).

Thursday Thirteen (#8) - 13 Red Bed Pictures

I only posted a few "Playing with a Straw" pictures,
but the more I look at these pictures, the more I
want to include them in my blog as a memory
of this 'photo shoot'! So, here is this week's
Thursday Thirteen...

13 Red Bed Pictures!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Merry Christmas everyone!

I've been on vacation and so haven't been able to post (I can access the Internet from home, but can't post!). So, I'm back at work and am able to post once again! I figured the best first post of 2008 would be one of the boys' Christmas presents! But, they are still on my camera and I forgot to bring my camera to school today so I guess I'm all out of luck!

So, here are some pictures of Starbuck
playing with a straw on my red bed!

Ah! He's found a new toy!

Hmm.... yummy!

This is fun!

Yuck! Not so much fun anymore!

Hmm... just lie and look at it a while longer...

Before losing interest and laying back for a rest!

And so goes a day in the life of a cat!

T13 (Edition 10) - Sebastian's Shower Part 2

Here are a few more "post shower" photos, which I thought would make a great photo T13. I will be posting more about the cat show soon!

Still all wet!

Drying off a little

Had enough drying off... time to go explore the dining room.

Hmm.... locked doors....

Ok, so, more drying...

And after drying, fish treat, drying and more drying, time to go under the craft table. This is usually not allowed as the folding tables can trap cats... but, as I was watching, I figured it was ok for a few minutes =)

Ordeal over... unless there is another attack
of the mysterious sticky substance!
