Before Anyone Says Anything

Before any of my lovely friends or siblings harass me for my short blog hiatus, I'd just like to say that I'll be back in the next day or so with more flamingo photos (and the story of the plastic birdnapping), perhaps a few nature shots, as well as a giant fiberglass statue of a football player. I might even include commentary with the photos! :)

Basically, this posting is a pre-emptive strike to stave off complaints from you blog-o-maniacs.

In the meantime, check out the interesting musings and lovely photos of Superhero Journal, which I discovered courtesy of the Daffodil Girl.

Belated April Fools'

James and I have an ongoing debate/argument/joke about plastic pink flamingos.

He says they're tacky.

I say they're so tacky they're COOL.

So this April 2 (because he worked late on the 1st), I filled our yard with the lovely birds.

Two of the feathered friends were stolen, but recovered. More on that later. I'm going to bed.

Taking it Easy

Somes days you just have to take a break. Cheska understands this.

Gatwick: Before and After

Enough with the comments on the last post! I am back in blogging style. Isn't it enough for you people that I work two jobs and just spent the last two days at a conference?? Persecution indeed! (thanks for the random facts. i do appreciate the effort, pal.)

So here you go...

My big fat kitty cat proves once again that he is mostly fur. The poor guy's hair was so long that it was matting in what I call his armpits. He couldn't even effectively lick his own butt. He could reach, but he just couldn't get past all his hair.

Gatwick is so much happier with his new crew cut. Even though it took 40 minutes of James wrestling him into the carrier, the grooming trip was a success.

I present to you Fat Cat...

And Skinny Cat:

Peach Oo-la-long

What do you get when you mix a beret-wearing penguin, Oolong tea, and peach puree? A tasty beverage with a fun name and cute label.

Try it in the glass bottle -- it tastes better than the same stuff in plastic bottles. This continues to confirm my husband's theory that all beverages taste better when packaged in glass. However, I'm still a bit dubious about his claim that a square pizza tastes different than a round pizza from the same pizza shop.
