Mischievous Monday

Mim-may and Mom went shopping yesterday and Mom bought stuff for the wedding. Mom bought a pair of pants and a blouse. The pants were white and the blouse was black-and-white. It's so nice to see my influence is finally rubbing off.

As for Mr Karate and Rubylocks....

I dunno.

There was still snow on the ground when Mom went to bed last night. We'll see what happens when the sun comes up.

Update: Ayla, Georgia, I am sorry. There is still snow out there and neither of you has won the When When Contest.  The end is coming soon... Who will win the When When?

Sunny Sunday

It's going to be a gorgeously sunny day! The temps will get up to 55F (12.7C) today.

Nobody guessed this date for the When When Contest, but we will have a winner soon. How soon? We'll all have to keep watching to find out. The weather guys have predicted five days with high temps above 54F and lows no lower than 32C (0F).  Stay tuned.

Me? I'm just waking up, but I'm going to stay in my tent for a while longer, remembering the lovely time I had with my sweetie, Monty Q, last night as we celebrated my birthday.

I Am Eight!

Today is my birthday, and I am eight.  It's pretty amazing actually, because when I was just a kit I got hit by a car that broke my leg in two places and dislocated it from my hip. I could have gone to the Bridge, but I was rescued, and now I live a cushy life in New Hampster with my Mom.  I've got a sweetheart, Monty Q, and furry friends all over the world. I'm really lucky.

There's still snow on the ground outside.

 Treasure, Tiki, Kirby, Stan Lee and Kesey, none of you have won the When When contest.

This is now the only snow Mom and I can see when we look out the window. When will this snow go?

Finally Friday

Another sunny day, but there is still snow.

I am so sorry, Derby and Ducky, but you are not the winners of the When When Contest.

I'm getting my beauty rest, because tomorrow is a special day for me.

 Hey Mom, hurry up. You have to post photos of the snow for today's blog.

Lookit how much the snow is melting.

We had a frost overnight, but no snow.

We still have enough of that. I am sorry, but Mr HB White, and Mr OB Kitty, neither of you has won the When When Contest.

It is supposed to be 52F (11.11C) and sunny all day today. It is supposed to be 63F (17C) on Tuesday. Do you think the snow will last that long? 

Wordless Wednesday

April Fool!

This is what it REALLY looked like outside this morning. How many of you forgot I am a regular April Fool's Day prankster?

Sadie and Julie, I am sorry about the joke, but you did not win the When When Contest.


Heh.

Rain Rain Go Away

Honestly, it has been raining for days and I am very tired of it.

Yucky Monday

JJ, I am sorry, but instead of the snow going away, we got a little bit overnight and as you can see there is still snow on the ground. You are not this year's winner of the When When Contest.

Mom cleaned the house yesterday, which included dragging the rug sucking monster in all the rooms. It looks nice in here, I have to say. She hasn't been "motivated" most of the winter, and now she is happy. She finished a nifty black-and-white quilt she's been working on, and that makes her feel good.

It ought to. It is made of MY COLORS! It only took her how many years to make a quilt inspired by my furs (and Gizzy and Jasmine's)?  Anyways, after she finishes a quilt she always cleans the house. 

I am celebrating by camping out in the nifty tent she made for me.

Sloppy Sunday

It's been raining all night, and a lot of the snow has melted. The When When Contest is on in earnest.

There are a few small piles of snow up that side street, but the one we are really watching is this one, on the other side of the fence. 

This is the pile of snow that will determine the winner.  The temperature is supposed to stay above freezing for the next five days and nights.

I have rediscovered my tent.

Satisfied Saturday

I worked all day on Friday helping Mom feel better.

I napped on Mom in the morning.

I napped on Mom before lunch.

I napped on Mom in the afternoon.

I even napped on Mom after dinner.

I'm pleased to say she is feeling much better, and she isn't sniffing and honking so much.

Family Friday

Mom isn't feeling well so I am working hard to help her feel better. 

Yes I am on Mom's lap. 

Thursday

Mom has a cold. She is honking and sneezing. It's pretty funny actually, but she doesn't seem to think so.

This is what it looks like outside today. Mom has been taking these pictures through the window because it's been so cold. (It was 12C when Mom took the photo. That's -11.11C for my Aussie pals.) That's why there are some funny reflections in the photos. Mom says when the weather warms up like it is supposed to, she will open the window to take pictures (like she has done in the past.)

Anyway, as anycat can plainly see, there is still snow out there. It is supposed to get warmer today and then sunny, and stay warm for the next couple of days, and we should also have some rain. Mom and I are tired of the snow and want it to melt ASAP. We'll see!

Wordless Wednesday

(Pixel, I am sorry. There is snow outside. You aren't the winner of this year's When When Contest.)

Tuxie Tuesday

A nice basket of clean sheets is wonderful even if they aren't fresh out of the dryer.

Millie Monday

MOM! WILL YOU STOP THAT! YOU'RE MAKING ME LOOK SILLY.

Sheesh! A kit can't even freshen up around here without somebody making a big production out of it.

Mother Nature is Fickle

The weather guys said we were supposed to have "snow showers" and then rain yesterday.  When Mom got up it was a little cloudy, but it was warm. The was a quilt show in town, so she went.

Mom liked this quilt because it was "flat."  I do not understand why a quilt that hangs flat is a big deal.  All of her quilts hang nice and flat.

After Mom got home, the sky got dark, and we got the "snow showers" we were expected to get:

A few minutes after this started, the sun came out! It was snowing and sunny at the same time, but it didn't last long.

A half an hour later the sun was out, the sky was blue and the clouds were gone.

Surprising Saturday

You want... what?

Oh yeah.. Happy Anniversary Mim-may and Pip-pay! 27 Years! Congrats!

Mother Nature is a Liar

This is what the first morning of Spring looked like when Mom and I got up yesterday. SNOW!  The temperature went up during the day and a lot of the snow melted, but it's still out there, so Camp Stanhope, I'm really sorry, but you did not win the When When Contest.

Thursday Things

Mom is in a tizzy lately. It seems the great satan MS has sent her a request to count all her MS software at her day-hunting gig, and they want it NOW! Mom is all worried, she says those CALS and VeeLAs are confusing and she has had a hard time sleeping over it.

So she has been trying to keep busy to keep her mind off it. Do you know what she has been doing? She has been cleaning out drawers.

Yup. She gives ME grief when I paw through her drawers, but she can toss things around and it's OK.  Here is the one big drawer she has been struggling with for a long time:

It looks OK to me, but she was always shoving stuff around and moving stuff to find what she wanted.

 

 

 

 

 

 

When she got some wire bins for the drawers in her office, she had some extra, so she tried using them in this drawer, but you can see some things just don't fit right. So she started measuring and fiddling, and actually drew out a diagram on paper.

Then Mr Brown brought a box full of bamboo boxes, and lookit how nicely they fit in the drawer.

This is what the drawer looked like when she was done filling up all the little boxes.  Mom says she might "fine-tune" it a bit more, but I know she's happy. When she pulls the drawer open it doesn't make a ton of noise any more, and she can find what she wants without moving lots of things around.

Can you see how impressed I am?


PS the snot   snow is still out there.
