Friday Catblogging

Alphabet Soup

I’ve never been tagged for these silly things, so I am going to indulge in this today.
A. Attached or Single? Attached happily
B. Best Friend? See above, but I have a few girlfriends who I can’t do without, too.
C. Cake or pie? Both. But I make more pies.
D. Day of choice? Saturday
E. Essential item? A [...]

DNC ‘08

I’ve stuck with cats and pies mostly on this blog. And avoided politics. I know my readership is diverse in their opinions and the blog is public (hello, Future Employer!). But I’m throwing caution to the wind here.
I liked Hillary’s speech last night. And I still wish she was the nominee, but [...]

Travel Catblogging – Zulu

Zulu during the big move.
I have mixed feelings about this cat. For years he wouldn’t let me touch him, even when we were the sole food providers during a vacation. Then, a baby entered his life. I’m amazed at what he let that little girl do to him. It either made him [...]

40 Ways

No Impact Man had a nice post today on 40 steps to lessen your impact on the environment.  It’s a good list and I don’t see why I should recreate it when you could just click through and read it.
Things I’m still working on/haven’t done:

Don’t buy food that comes in plastic or paper packaging. [Some [...]

Cherry Pie

There’s more cats in the Travel Catblogging series, but I suppose we should take a break and highlight the other thing this blog seems to be about – PIES.
Here’s a cherry pie I made during my sister’s visit this month (and one I made last summer).  I went a bit heavy on the vanilla, so [...]

Travel Catblogging – Ginsburg

Ginsburg is a reformed B****. And I’m not even joking about the B**** part. Remember how I said Mia screamed at me and was unfriendly towards strangers? Oh, that’s nothing. I can see Mia-Pia’s sweet side. Gins? That girl had no shred of it when I first met her.
She was [...]

Travel Catblogging – Fuzz

Fuzz is a lover. LOVER. He’ll come up to you and immediately start nuzzling your neck. He wants to lay ON TOP of you, and be as close to your face as possible. He is fearless. And I think part dog. He likes to start shit with the other cats, too – [...]

Travel Catblogging – Elvis

Elvis, looking a little hung-over after a night of partying.
Here is another cat from our travels last month. He recently moved from a two bedroom basement apartment where he spent his entire life to a fantastic three bedroom, two story house. He reportedly wouldn’t come downstairs for a week after the move, [...]

Beautiful Weekend

We had a great weekend, and as soon as I load the photos, I’ll share some with you (but I am over a month behind on photos…)
Friday night we walked to a local pizzeria and then went for a walk around the neighborhood.
Saturday we went to prairie and hiked for awhile. You’d never believe [...]
