Dust Poofs

As part of Kimberly Brimhall's Bling Out Your Blog class, I am overhauling my blog, so excuse my dust.  I just made it very simple and clean, a new template for now.   Some of the photos I've posted are a little bit cut off on one side.  I'll adjust them soon.

Right now... we just finished watching The Last Samurai - I love this movie.  Pete says it'd be more accurate if Tom Cruise were French. :)

Right now... I'm feeling a bit like the sausage links we had for dinner.

Right now... I'm learning about a free photoshop-like program.  I just downloaded it.  We'll see.

Right now... I wish I was a cooking genius.

Right now... I'm praying our house will sell.

Right now... I'm missing my kittie.

Right now... I'm overwhelmed at the 235 photos I took at the concert this last weekend.  I filled the little memory card.

Right now... I wish I was tired so I wouldn't be up til 2 like usual.

Right now... I'm counting the days we have left in this place.

Right now.

My little kitty babies

I miss my kitty every day, and decided to paint a little reminder of her cuteness.  I also wanted a little happy reminder of my two kitties I had growing up.  I am not very impressed with the quality of canvas, but since I'm just starting out, I guess it doesn't matter that much.  The sides have a phrase indicative of each cat's personality. 
Just wanted to share these!

One Year Ago

One year ago today, our kitty got her first bath.  Not really that exciting... but the pictures are somewhat amusing.  I haven't scrapbooked in a couple weeks, so it was nice to spend some time playing.

The journaling reads:  We've now learned the best way is to let her stand up. (not hold her above the water.)

and on the opposite page:  Jasmine's 1st bath, shortly after coming home from Petsmart.

All Wrapped Up

On my way out to water the flowers and plants this afternoon, I found this scene.  I've got a pile of clothing waiting to be donated near the door, hoping it will get carried out the next time we leave (no such luck yet).  The cat pulled one sweater off the pile and somehow wrapped herself in it.  Or tunneled within it.  I don't know.  I found it amusing.  She does the strangest stuff sometimes. 

We're Keeping the Teeth

We just got back from the vet.  Our 1.5 year old kitty, Jasmine has been having some teeth and ear issues.  Perhaps we should have seen an ENT Vet?  Do they make those?  Probably not.  Her ears are all clean and clear now, but the mouth is still having problems.  She's allergic to bacteria.  In her mouth.  Kind of crazy.  There was a point that if she didn't respond to the steroid injections or antibiotic drops, she'd have to have all teeth pulled to stop the bacteria.  But, thankfully, that isn't the case anymore.  We're keeping the teeth.
