News From the Mitten

Well our kittens are turning into cats. So adorable they are; so much trouble they are. Recently, our landlord came over to put plastic over our windows for the winter, so you can imagine Nibbler's and Tiger's reaction to that... So now our windows are covered with a nice mix of plastic and packaging tape. What little shits. *sigh*. Anyways, they are doing well and seem to be healthy little furballs. Nibbler is very petite and Tiger is going to probably eat her one day. Tiger is probably close to seven pounds by now; a pound for every month he's been alive, I guess. He's going to be a fat tomcat. His markings came in beautifully and his fur is getting long. He likes to lie on his back a lot because I think he knows no one can resist petting that snow-white long and soft fur. What a diva. Nibbler's markings are also quite adorable and is still our little "moo-cow".





Now that I've got that cat-talk out of the way, Eric and I are doing well. He's busy with work and the band and I'm waiting to hear back from a sales position I applied to at the station. Sounds promising, but they don't quite know how many people they can hire in. My boss put in several good words for me though and I'm hoping I get it. It'd be full-time and normal hours. I'd be sad to leave production, but I've come to a realization that even though I like the work itself, broadcasting hours just aren't something I want for years to come.

Sunday I went wedding dress shopping with Dana, which was really fun. She found one. Better yet, it was $99.00! Lucky girl! She looked radiant in it, and Mary cried of course. Dana and David have also set a date, which is May 26th in Midland.

Ashley's parents are visiting for Thanksgiving and it sounds like they will be staying for awhile. Her job is treating her good; she just needs to build that clientele, which I don't imagine she'll have too much trouble with since she's so dang charismatic!

Lastly, I just want to say that I've missed posting here. I've been lazy and wanting to post, but thought I really never had anything to share. I don't do crafts as much as I should, I'm not as involved as I used to be (basically since I've graduated), and life has just kind of been... well, steady. Not in a bad way of course, but we've just been living and getting settled. Well, recently I've been getting back to hobbies, reading (academically), and writing. Emphasis on that last one. I've been wanting to write more, so what better place to that than here, and what better people to share my life with than YOU! Of course this has always been a given :) SO with that said, I'm going to try my hardest to touch base at least once a week. Expect other posts in addition to my 'News From the Mitten' posts. Alright now that I've said all that there's no going back on my word... all I have to do now is hit, Publish Post.

Tying string to kitty's tail is fun!

I hope this video works. It shows it on my end but I have had some trouble with it on my computer. Wierd. Too funny to miss though.

Forgot to post this awhile back.

Victoria and Gingham love this game. Except Victoria is the only one who stands on the ledge. One afternoon I was doing laundry and heard the cats running up and down the stairs. I came out of the bedroom from putting clothes away and stopped in the doorway. Victoria was crouched down on the ledge and swishing her tail around. So I let her proceed to whatever she's after. Sometimes it's gingham and sometimes it's a little ball sitting on the stairs or toy mouse. Anyway, Gingham was on her way up the stairs and when she came to the top....Victoria attacks!! Gingham had no idea she was up there and that poor cat jumped so high! I think she made it to about my waist or higher. Victoria got her good. I was nearly on the floor because I was laughing so hard! Cats can be entertaing when thier in a playful mood. These two are crazy.

Getting ready for Christmas!

Aaaaaah, Thanksgiving is almost here and then the crazy mall rats. I have done some Christmas shopping already and I was so excited to put lights on the house. Brian wasn't too excited to put up the lights above the garage but now he said he would like to put some more on the back of the house! Oh well. I wouldn't mind, because I don't have to take them down. He he. But they would like nice in the back also.

I went to the mall today and walmart. I couldn't wait to leave! Wow, people are crazy! I'm glad that I am getting my Christmas gifts a little earlier.

Well, not much going on here. Hope all is well in everyone else's neck of the woods. :-) Enjoy some pictures of the cats. They wanted to say hi, or at least I think they should say hi. It's been awhile. :-P

Road Kill

Forgot one more photo. Victoria loves to push her toys under the peddle car and then try to get them. This photo is when she was getting to comfortable and just about fell asleep. Weird cat.
