Project 365. Day Two-Seventy-Eight: A Cat's Life...

When I was little, I sometimes wished I was a cat. I think this was because cats remained to be my favorite animal for most of my childhood (don't worry, giraffes have always been a favorite too). Cats were what I doodled, what I dressed up as for Halloween (a black one coming out of a pumpkin, for the record), and what my friend Samantha and I always prenteded to be on the playground. I still love cats (shocking, I know) but now, I'd rather be a cat for one reason more than for any other...

Cat naps.



...In a sun beam.



P.s. You should go check out Julie at the girl in the red shoes. She has a super cute blog that I've followed for a while now. She a) has darling style (just check out her posts about her DIY home projects) b) knows how to work a curling iron c) might love her pets as much as I love my own d) all of the above. Speaking of her "darling style," check out this fancy shmancy bracelet she's giving away! I maybe, might have imagined it upon my wrist region today. Maybe. Anywhoot! You should check her blog out!

Project 365. Days Two-Fifty and Two-Fifty-One: Drip, drip, driiiiiip...

Dear Husband, 4 years ago today (Monday) you gave me the BEST last first date of my life. And, 4 years later, you still give me those excited butterflies in the pit of my stomach, a flutter in my heart, and a smile beaming with the anticipation of life with you. Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you for pursuing me. You are the highlight of my life!

Project 365. Day One-Thirty-Four: Hungry,Hungry,Hippo...

Obviously, we never feed D.C. .....(more than twice a day that is).



But between breakfast and dinner, we've spent much time under the living room ceiling fan as the early summer months have proven to be a little too much for our little AC to handle. Me on my stomach, Kiltie on my feet, and cats all around, we had all perimeters of the ceiling fan covered--a sight comical to any eye witnesses, I'm sure.

...And these are the "cool" days. Sheesh.

Project 365. Day One-Twenty-Five: Wordless...

Project 365. Day One-Twenty-Two: Yay! Today is Over!...

...I laughed at myself earlier today upon thinking of the proclamation but, I can't be more glad that I'm on the bottom half of the day.

Dance Choreographer Project done. Check.
Extra Credit papers turned in. Check.
Last real day of school before finals done. Check.
Do whatever seems relaxing. Check.

To celebrate, Jason and I went to dinner, spent too much at the pet store (oops), watched Dogs 101, and were given a good laugh by the cats (always a good excuse for a pet picture, right?) :).



Happy Youtube Wednesday--?--(sorry I keep dropping the ball)!

This one reminds us of our D.C. ...

Project 365. Day One-Ten: Around the House...

P.s. I hate folding socks.

Project365. Day Seventy-Three: Wordless Part Cinco

Project 365. Day Seventy-One: Another Sunny Saturday...

Today was another beautifully Sunny Saturday! As I worked at my computer through out the afternoon, I witnessed the most intense cat nap I think I've ever seen. Though these two get along 97% of the time, Ridley (the kitten) knows how to push Lottie's buttons. But, this afternoon the sun won their affections over and all was at peace. What's cute is that the kitten often will watch the big cats and copy whatever they're doing at the time. Notice how many times Ridley copies Lottie in these pictures :)...













Even though Ridley can push Lottie's buttons often through the course of a day it's probably all talk...since they're playing right now [while D.C. lays curled up comfortably on her throne...I mean our bed].

Project 365. Day Sixty-Eight: Wordless Part Cinco

Youtube Tuesday:

Project 365. Day Sixty-Five: Sunny Saturdays...

We celebrated this beautiful sunny Saturday by lounging around the house until about lunchtime. Mmm! Love those days if and when they come around!

Watchin' the game (whoop! And, yes, those are curlers in my hair)...



Ridley slept through most of the game...



D.C. enjoyed chompin' on some Cat Grass (I'm sure the Cat Grass will have it's own post in a day or so)...



A freshly shaved Lottie sun bathing...



The flower arrangement that I made for Movie Night...



Sun flowers, Sunny Saturday. What more could you ask for?...



Kiltie and I even had a picnic on the porch. Sorry Cesar (Milan), she got a bite of pizza...



Wonderful! Unfortunately, I fear that our "spring" is soon to be over and then blistering heat will be here to stay...indefinately. I mean, we've pretty much ahd a long "spring". It's lasted for a few days in a row. I think the record is a week. Then, BAM! 1,000 degrees, and 90% humidity. Oh, Texas. How you toy with me!

But before all that it's going to get down to the low 50s, high 40s tonight while Jason and I are at ASC Formal...outside...in a tent... Awesome.

I'm wearing leggings under my dress. That's class.

Cheerio!

Project 365. Day Forty-Three: Secrets :)

Project 365. Day Thirty-Seven: Ready for bed...

This is what I plan on doing in the next 10 mins...

Project 365. Day Thirty-Five: Blah blah blah.

That update I said was going to come today? Well, it's really going to come tomorrow. Deal with it. :)

So, enjoy a picture of Lottie sunbathing in the window sill...

Project 365. Day Twenty: A face only a mother could love...

I still don't feel good so I don't plan on writing much, or loading a current picture on here so...

Several months ago we had to have our cat Lottie shaved because she was so badly matted and obviously uncomfortable. I brought her home from the vet and placed her in front of her food bowl. She caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror :) Enjoy, and goodnight!

Project 365. Day Eighteen: School Starts Again.

...and I almost forgot to blog....again. And I need to get to sleep so that I can get up for my first class, and hopefully find a parking spot in under 10 minutes.
Thus....



....Like everyone in this picture (D.C., Lottie, Ridley, and Kiltie), I plan on going to sleep. Right now.

Goodnight! Wish me luck for my first day !

Project 365. Day Ten: Can I Get Away w/ Another Wordless Day ?

Good. Because that's what I'm doing. Sort of.



Ok, so I was in a hurry and just shoved another cat picture on here. Ugh, I'm going to look like the crazy cat-lady on this blog. Pfft.

Goodnight!
