midnight mutterings.

I got a random urge to write a pointless blog post at about midnight (Sunday night/Monday morning) but because my computer access location is closed, I couldn’t run across the parking lot and log on lol. SO I’m typing this on the dinosaur computer in my bedroom. I’m going to add it to my flash drive when I’m done, and post it later. Good plan, if I do say so myself. I’ll probably do a couple of entries this way, actually. Ok… let’s move on.

Last May, we got a new sectional sofa and new table/chairs set. I'm pretty sure I blogged about it all at the time, but lacking regular access to a computer, I was never able to post the pictures I'd taken. It's not really very exciting to me anymore because the couch turned into an annoyance pretty quickly. Turns out it was cheaper quality than it appeared in the store. Part of the couch was delivered broken because it couldn't withstand the pressure of the delivery guys’ couch-tie-strappy-thing carrying it up the stairs. We got the stupid thing "fixed" but I'm not impressed and I want to smack the no-longer-cute guy at the furniture store that lied about it being MADE IN OREGON. Friggin' sticker on the bottom of the couch says “Made in China.” It figures.

ANYWAY, please enjoy these blurry pictures of our “new” couch, table and chairs. Yes, that’s my cat Doohickey; previously annoying cat turned couch potato with the arrival of the new couch. (That was weird getting used to. She didn’t sleep on our old couch very much.) And that’s the first meal enjoyed on our new table. It tasted a hell of a lot better than it looks in the picture.




Also, a random photo of the cake I made for my moms birthday, May 31st, 2011.


I’ve decided to add a page to my blog for projects I’ve done. So far, I mostly have some pictures of jewelry I’ve made more recently. I never used to think about taking pictures of my completed projects. Some of which include: wooden tic-tac-toe boxes with clay game pieces of various themes, random magnets, pens with fake flowers attached and wrapped with floral tape. I used to be pretty into making cute soaps and jars of bath salts, too. I’d say most projects I’ve done haven’t been amazing lol. Some of the jewelry I make is pretty quick and unimpressive, and some I take my time and have positive results. With my new addiction to pinterest.com, I’ve found an abundance of amazing craft projects I want to try. It’s a craft project idea overload and I love it! One project I’ve seen on the website and have recently started is making necklaces out of metal washers from the hardware store. It takes a little patience, of which I tend to lack, but so far, I’ve had positive feedback. Once I get more necklaces fully completed, I’ll start taking pictures. I’m pretty excited about it. (I’d probably be more excited if my new paper punch wasn’t such a butthead, but that’s a rant I decided to skip for this post.)

Does “Fur-Kid Friday” have a good ring to it? I’m trying to decide if I want to start a weekly blog post. Some people have one, like Wordless Wednesday, but I’m not so sure if I should start one. With my luck, as soon as I get good about posting once a week, I’ll end up losing my regular internet access lol. Anyway, my thought is posting pictures of my pets every Friday. I’m just not sure if it would be new pictures taken during that week, or any pictures I feel like posting that day, or both. If I decide to stick to only posting pictures of my pets once a week, I may not have anything to post about every other day lol. My life is rather boring… it’s all about my fur babies. Speaking of which, Brodie is now 5 years old as of March 8th, Ezie will be 3 in May, and Doohickey will be 6 in June. My babies are growing up so fast! Insert a sniffle and a single tear falling here. ;)

Well, it’s 3 in the morning and my mind just went blank. I guess that’s all for this post!

I'm adding two digital-scrapbook pictures before I end this. Haleigh! And Cocoa. (RIP 2010)

Hello Easter

I had things I'd planned to write about, but in this moment I just don't care about any of it anymore.

-

We went furniture "window" shopping yesterday, at 3 different stores. The plan was to check out prices of recliners. Ended up buying a sectional sofa... and a kitchen table +4 chairs. They'll be delivered sometime in May.

April 13th, I made friends with a duck in the Albertson's parking lot. I thought she was lost, scared, hungry... possibly injured. Found out the next day that there are apparently 2 ducks, a male and female, that live in some bushes near the store. I've been to the store many times, but never saw them before. Oh well. She got to eat a NutriGrain bar for dinner.

-

Today is Easter... I really want an egg shaped Reese's Peanut Butter cup. Someone help me out with that. Thanks.

Got a random email from our vet clinic about "our" cat. It's a generic email, really. I found it amusing, and far from the truth of the cat that lives in my house lol. Here is something that was noted in the email:

"Your adult cat is your friend. She will curl up on your lap in the evenings and sit quietly for much of the time, content to simply gaze out the window. Gone is the rambunctious kitten, replaced by a regal king or queen. But your adult cat still needs plenty of playtime and affection to remain the healthy, contented creature she has become."

Well, about the only thing true in that statement, in regards to Doohickey, is that she does enjoy looking out the window. She is almost 5, but her rambunctious kitten ways haven't gone anywhere. They may have been deluded a bit since she was spayed last spring, but that's about it. And I wouldn't call her my friend. I'd say she'd be ok if I didn't exist lol. She loves my mom and follows her around to whatever room my mom happens to be in. Including the bathroom. Doohickey is far from being a lap cat, though when she feels the need for attention she'll plant herself across your chest and onto your shoulder. Don't believe that means she's happy if you pet her while she's there. She'll lay on you and make it hard for you to breathe, but you're not allowed to touch her lol. Calling Doohickey a queen would be a lie, to say the least.

No matter what, though, I will always love my evil pshyco precious rescue kitty.

While writing this blog entry, I've gotten called twice from a number I don't know. well, random person... I'm going to keep ignoring you, so you better leave a message if it's important.

That's all for now.
