Scaredy cat
Oct. 16th, 2016 09:52 amSo the landlord is tearing up, I mean replacing, the balconies last week and next. THE CATS ARE APPALLED. No one asked them and they certainly would never have authorized such a hullaballoo. (Spelling?)

Rodney McKat has been zipping back and forth across the living room, unsure whether he should be a Manly Cat and Defend the Hoomin or...yup, we're getting another round of

Girly stuff (nails)
Sep. 27th, 2015 11:17 amI was nattering on to my mother about nail polish and other supplies, including matte top coat when she interrupted to ask why? Why matte anything for nails?

i might be a crafter
Jan. 18th, 2015 12:09 pmFour skeins of the most beautiful yarn I have ever seen just arrived from amazon.com. None of it is suitable for any of the projects I have planned.
( Picture that does not do the yarn justice back here )
Do I return it?
O HELLLLLLLLZ NO. There will be a suitable project at some point, right? Right??
Yeah, I might be a crafter already without having cast on my first stich.
While I am picspamming you, behind the cut below is the best picture I've gotten of Sammi's amazing pale green eyes yet.
( Yes, unrelated but still Cat )
Down in front is the paracord I'm using my my possibly futile attempt to crochet a beanie. Now, both thumbs hurt.

AND WE HAVE CATLAP
Dec. 14th, 2014 04:18 pmWell, okay, yeah. Catlap courtesy of Rodney McKat goes on a lot around here. But never until today has Sammi actually gotten into my lap voluntarily, hung out for a scritch, then reclined at her ease. Ever.
( I gotcher 'pics or it didn't happen' right back here. )
One small, tippy toe step for cat, one giant leap for human servant kind.

Nov. 11th, 2014 04:19 pmI have officially gotten enough compliments on this clutch that I feel I must share. It's larger than I expected a clutch to be, though it does not quite hold a 7" tablet (it fits, but the lid doesn't close.) Shall we say that when I bought it, I was going for cost effective? :D
And in the nail art department, we have my second attempt at border nails:

Queen Sammi of the Couch

Directly beneath her on the afghan is Rodney's spot. They are still actively (but nonviolently) trolling each other.

The cats are all over me. In the kitchen while it cooked, circling like furry sharks at my feet while I ate it and, 12 hours after brushing my teeth, I'm still getting frisked for random signs of fshi. Rodney remains alert. edited to add: their food bowl was empty. Now it's not and I'm persona non cata.
In the meantime, behind the cut is the aftermath of stew cooked in Le Creuset the morning after:
( Dishwasher safe, but not recommended )
I am in serious need of a camera with an anti-shake feature. I don't think I've taken a picture in good focus since I got thischeap-ass POS thrifty little phone.

Better pic of purple manicure
Aug. 9th, 2014 05:56 pm( Not necessarily better lit, but less shaky )
Our colors today:
Base purple: two coats of Purple with a Purpose
Yellow: two coats of I Just Can't Copacabana in a triangle across the top of the nail
Top purple: one coat of A Grape Affair in a triangle over the yellow to make a stripe.
All by OPI.
The thing about using a "blackened" color (A Grape Affair is a blackened purple) is that in anything other than very strong light, it looks black. Quel Goth.

Organizational suggestions?
Jun. 26th, 2014 07:31 amBehind the cut is a picture of my sofa with my CERT bag and a quarter metric tonne of medical supplies, mainly various sizes of bandages. (I had no idea there were 8x10 bandages.) The CERT training materials suggests what to buy and that we organize it, but it a little short on how.

I'm thinking ziplock baggies, but that's as far as I've gotten. Any suggestions?

How do cats know?
Apr. 29th, 2014 02:43 pmThere is a pair of work gloves I need to put on to move a set of shelves back into position after getting my new fridge.
These are the gloves:

Don't like the weather? Wait a few hours
Feb. 13th, 2014 12:58 pmNo, really. Behind the cut are two picture taken about 3 1/2 hours apart. I've removed a layer of ice from the windshield and rear window of the car, and you can see on the roof when/where I got tired of scraping. :D
