Kitten Taco...

My Nana, via my parents, donated a cat tree to our feline residents at Christmas time...



They.Love.It. We think it had catnip on it at one point b/c Jas and Dad could hardly get it in the door before they started going bonkers. I call the very top part of the cat tree a kitten taco b/c of its shape. It just so happens that the kitten taco is the hot spot in the living room now.

Our local Kitchen Spices, Paprika, was being his normal cute self the other day con el arbol de gato and I was able to get some pictures...








Did you see how he was sprawled out on the thing? That cat is all boy, I tell ya. Next thing I know, he'll be demanding I fetch him a beer. Just kidding...I don't think he's a beer kind of guy.

Welp, I gotta go finish picking up the house before the fam gets here to watch the Aggies BTHO LSU at the Cotton Bowl! Whoop!

The Latest Highlights:

1) Sleigh bed
2) Tripod.camera.fancy camera.video camera. Let me just geek out for a sec...
3) Watching all of season 1 of Glee thanks to my Target giftcard from Brother Dave
4) Knowing Jason gets a chance to hang out with the guys for a couple days/go to the Cotton Bowl. I miss him when he's gone but I'm happy for him to have opportunities like this!
5) Cooking a successful Tator Tot Casserol in our new crockpot last night (recipe to come!)
6) Cooking for da Hubs
7) Having a new Max Lucado book to read
8) Smooches from da Hubs :)

Ok, I really have to go now!
Gig 'em Ags!

Project 365. Days Three-Sixty-Two and Three-Sixty-Three: A Very Furry Christmas...

Even our local residents had a good Christmas. Yes, thats right, we bought the animales Christmas presents. Are you surprised? Should I add that they have their own stockings too? Judge me how you will :)

Kolache, Jason's Mom's pup, even got into the holiday spirit and gave the residents their very own portable dog house. Really, Kolache gave it to the cats b/c we all know Kiltie couldn't get anything past her noggin' in there. But! Should the day arise when Kiltie wants to make like an ostrich, I'm positive of where she'll be.

Paprika and his big self. Who seems pleased with his orange self?...



There's even room for two (pretty sure I heard them discussing curtain patterns and throw pillows)...



We let Kiltie and the cats open their stockings and presents but were only really able to get pictures of Kiltie before the camera died. I assure you though, the cats made out just fine this Christmas...don't let them fool you (they are now the proud owners of a lot of catnip toys).

Kiltie eagerly waiting for me to get the 10,000 tags off her toys...



...Wondering if I need help...



Reaping her profits...



A Very Furry Christmas...

From our furballs to yours...Happy New Years Eve Eve!

Project 365. Days Two-Seventy-Eight Through Two-Eighty-One: [insert something clever here]...

Yep, I'm still alive.

Between being overwhelmed with school, out of town last weekend, and fighting allergies/not feeling good, I've let the blog fall through the cracks the last few days. Sorry.

But, here I am ...spending much time getting more acquainted with Jason's HOMEMADE FROM SCRATCH Tomato Basil Soup (as seen in the above Big Hug Mug).

Even though sometimes life happens and the blog, therefore, does not.... I think I've lacked from well my lack of "Today's Highlights".

So, here ya be!

Today's Highlights:

1) One day closer to the weekend
2) The Buried Life and House on the DVR
3) Jason cooking dinner for us for the 2nd night in a row even though I'd gotten out the meat with the intention of cooking it myself. He, however, is a knight in shining armor and is god at taking care of me when I don't feel good.
4) Homemade T.Basil Soup <3
5) Getting a 93% on my rediculously hard essay test for my rediculously hard class. Can I get a "Whoop!"
6) The Vitamin Water I'm about to crack open
7) Staying up a little later than normal to watch TV together
8) Rescued Chilean miners!

Dear Husband, Thanks for being so supportive of me and of Project 365. And, thanks for missing the blog when I haven't posted. 1) It's nice to be missed/appreciated 2) It's especially nice to be missed/appreciated by you. And for stepping up to the plate when I haven't felt good? Don't know if I'll ever be able to repay you except for promoting you to Head Husband (as discussed during our office meeting at the stove), and awarding you a life-time supply of extra smooches. Love Always, Boss.

Project 365. Day One-Ninety-Nine: Long week and some other things...

Baaaaaaaaah. Long, long week. Thankfully, tomorrow is Friday.

So, my old background has apparently bit the dust so, I was forced to choose a new background (thus, the blog is under a little remodeling right now...). I'm lucky for two reasons: 1) I happened to of been thinking of changing up the blog background anyways 2) I accidently changed it to this background earlier today when I was trying to preview it on the blog and I think I'm going to stick w/ it ...atleast for now.

Now, I have to get in the shower and then do my spanish homework and get to bed...

Today's Highlights:

1) Tomorrow is Friday.
2) Pizza Rolls, mac n' cheese, and sweet potato fries--the dinner of champions. Don't judge me.
3) Did I mention tomorrow is Friday ?
4) An Everybody Loves Raymond nap, two nights in a row.


Dear Husband, I've been a bad wife lately...missing out on writing you letters frequently it seems. I'm really sorry, it seems my head hasn't been screwed on straight lately. Thanks for keeping me in line though and helping me organize all my meds. You're a trooper, and I love you...a lott-o. I hope you have a great Friday and I can't wait to spend the weekend with you, no matter what it may bring (boxes and all). Thanks for being patient w/ me through all my ups and downs. I owe you one (or two, or three, or four...). Extra smooches are comin' your way ! ISDLY!
P.s. I hope you find your missing shirt soon. Sorry that the house ate it :(

Project 365. Day One-Ninety-Six: The fact is, we don't play dodgeball around here...

Today's Highlights:

1) Delicious homemade ribs/baked beans/mac n' cheese for dinner (Kiltie thought it looked pretty good herself).
2) It's almost bedtime.
3) Watching Operation Repo/All Worked Up w/ Jason (his favorite part of Monday nights). That Ron guy from All Worked Up has the best sayings, haha.

"That guy thought he'd come out here, take his shirt off and intimidate us like a fat kid at dodgeball. The fact is, we don't play dodgeball around here..." --Ron, All Worked Up
