Crouching Toddler, Hidden Kitten

      No Comments on Crouching Toddler, Hidden Kitten

You miiiiight be able to make it out past the heaps of stuff, but you can just about make out Poison on the window ledge. I thought I managed a better picture of her hiding out over there, but apparently I was wrong. I don’t know why I found this to be super cute, but I really, really, *REALLY* did…. Read more »

Again and Again

      No Comments on Again and Again

Today has been a day of knitting in circles. But not like, the productive sort of circles, no. I’m doing varying sizes of gauge squares to figure out what needles I’m going to do these blasted socks on. It’s fine though. My brain is settled back into knitting and not being stressed about knitting and its related people, so it… Read more »

Food Coma

      No Comments on Food Coma

I just got back from our annual Stitch ‘n Bitch Christmas dinner. And while I had intended to share a picture of my meal, I can’t. I ate so much that thinking about or looking food is making my gorge rise. But man, worth it. Herd puts on a good Christmas dinner. And! We were apparently their first Christmas dinner… Read more »

Poor Poison

      No Comments on Poor Poison

Z had clocked yesterday that Poison (pictured left) had wee’d on a bit of cardboard in the study, and that there was a bit of blood in it. We had a little kit from the vet should this ever happen, so he managed to extract a sample and take it in. The tl;dr is that she’s got cystitis, and a… Read more »

Dinner is Served

      No Comments on Dinner is Served

Why yes, that is a large bowl of strawberry ice cream. We were out for a party for one of Smallhausen’s friends at lunchtime, so we all had a hot lunch then. When we were at the grocery store yesterday I was reminded of my desire for strawberry ice cream, so voila. I might well have another bowl, yanno, seeing… Read more »

Knitting! Cats! Meow! I’ve finished the little cat set thingie that I wanted to make. Well, almost. I still need to put the buttons on the scarf, maybe run them through the wash with fabric softener before that, but still. I’m quite pleased. I can only hope that the intended recipients like my efforts. Now, I’m not any sort of… Read more »

Alternate Disco

      No Comments on Alternate Disco

Today, we received a text message from the school that the school disco that was supposed to occur tonight was cancelled. We were sad — Smallhausen loves going to the school discos. But apparently, last night there were plenty of Friends who were signed up for it, and suddenly none this morning. Rude. So instead, Smalls came home and announced… Read more »

Flawless

It’s been sticky hot here again, so of course, Batman decides he’s a lap cat. As you can see from this picture earlier today, I am not amused, and he’s obviously Smug as Fuck™®. Sigh? Sigh. Don’t get me wrong — I love the idea of lap cats and getting cuddles. When it comes to Batman, however, he doesn’t lay… Read more »

Bootie Bootie Boot-ay

      No Comments on Bootie Bootie Boot-ay

Also known as ‘Raeyn is in a goofy mood because of the word bootie(s)’, and has been running around saying this for a couple of days now. But lookit, I DID finish knitting a pair of booties, so it’s sort of warranted. Or something. The only thing left of that which I wanted to make is a scarf, and that’s… Read more »

I had forgotten what happens when I cross Batman, the world’s neediest cat, with my lap. I get him putting alllll his weight on his pointy little feet and digging deep into my chubmeats. I just scared him off with a pained hiss because, for some reason, he though getting a claw tangled in my leggings was a great idea…. Read more »
