Oh, boy! Condensation! My favorite!
I was going to use this for my 7 Days-Cold photo, but by the time I got a shot in focus, I wasn't in the shot anymore.

The buns have left the oven

The buns have left the oven
Moon had her babies last night! There are 3: two are black (look closely) and one is gray. It is incredibly hard to take pictures of black kittens. Moon and the babies are fine, and she is just as sweet as ever. She doesn't really like being alone in the laundry room, but the door has to stay closed because Jenn's babysitting a doberman-mixed-with-caffeine-or-something puppy. Tundra enjoys coming in to check on them, though.

7Days.1 - Hey Packet, guess what time it is again!

7Days.1 - Hey Packet, guess what time it is again!
[Packet]: Aw, crap. Already?

Today was one of those 7 Days days where I left the house, thought about taking a picture at the store, decided I'd do it later, got home, thought about taking a picture, decided I'd do it later, and repeated this process until 11pm, when I thought, 'OMG, it's 7 Days today!'

Someone's got buns in her oven

Last month I noticed that Moon's widdle tummy was kind of firm and that she had kitty nipples. Indeed, she is with kitten. Sadly, Mister and Kitty (RIP, lil buddy) were fixed at the time of her *ahem* indiscretion, so we're anxious to see what her babies will look like. If they survive, that is; she's verrrry young and still quite small.

Good, because I don't know what to put in a protein shake.

You can't really see it in the first photo, but there's an asterisk next to 'got cocoa?' which explains why this side of the mug also has one. The bottom of the mug is signed, dated, and says, 'It's a FACT: Kristen is funny,' but I can't show you that until I finish drinking my shake.

Lookit what I got!

Lookit what I got!
The wonderfully talented Bethany sent me my very own Dotty Mug! While I'm out of cocoa supplies for the summer (not that it's too hot for it right now), it's a good large mug that is perfect for my protein shakes. When I took this, I thought Packet was just sniffing the mug, but on further review, she's actually trying to drink the protein shake. Oops.

7 Days, Day 4 - PLAY.

7 Days, Day 4 - PLAY.
I've been distracted and maybe lazy regarding this run of 7 Days, so I missed Day 3. Last night, Packet reminded me that playing is good for the soul. Well, for hers. And only if I'm doing it right. Which means, 'Quit taking pictures and make the string move!'

Can I just tell you how much I adore a cat that headbutts? Because I will. For hours, if you don't stop me.

7 Days, day 2 - Style

7 Days, day 2 - Style
It's the braids. That's my hairstyle today. Or it could be how the redheads are hanging out together, because that's our style. I'm rather fashion-impaired, so I wasn't about to show off my wardrobe style.

Say hello to Kitty

Mon, 22 Mar 2010 04:09:29 GMT

Say hello to Kitty
Kitty is awesome. And he's a boy. Mister seems to be OK with Kitty, as long as Kitty doesn't try to talk to him or anything. Kitty doesn't mind those rules, because he really digs Sookie. Kitty moved in with Jessica, and will eventually help out in the barn with mousing once he gets used to the new place. Kitty is awesome because you can pick him up and he'll hug you and lick your face. I LOVE THIS CAT.

Mister's all like, 'Dangit, WHY AREN'T THERE ANY BOYS AROUND HERE?'

New kid on the rock
Say hello to Moon, Jenn's new barn cat. She's still rather kittenish, but she is very friendly. Her job is to kill them meece. I think she might be blind or something in her right eye - there's a bluish tint and the pupil seems to react to light/dark less than the other eye. Also, there's snow on her because it snew today. Frakes were attacking nonstop for several hours.

7 Days, day 1
My back's all hurty, and it was colder out today, so I just stayed in and didn't do anything creative for the first day like I'd wanted to. None of the self-portraits I took were entirely in focus, either, so I just picked the cutest one of Packet and played with it. Check out her psychedelic right eye and her lips. They crack me up :)

I was out that way, so I got to feed Cali and Bella today.

It's still too chilly to open the window, but she likes to soak up the sunshine when it's there.

What I see when I wake up
Packet wakes me up by jumping from the bed to the cat shelf, and when I open my eyes, this is my view.

Packet, watching a documentary on cats

Packet, watching a documentary on cats
We should order Animal Planet just so Packet has something to watch all day. She is seriously into wildlife documentaries. I had to pull up a chair for her to sit in because my lap wasn't good enough and she had to sit like a prairie dog when she sat on the floor. What a princess.

Packet, spellbound by a PBS documentary on wolves

Packet, spellbound by a PBS documentary on wolves
She sat right there for about 25 minutes straight, following the stories about the wolves and other animals of Yellowstone. Occasionally, she'd look from the TV to her window, like she was wondering how come HER window never has elk and bison in it.

She made sure to sit right on my spindle so it wouldn't go anywhere. Even if I wanted it to.

I never noticed that his left back paw pads alternate colors.

I like the backlit ears.

She can't sneak up on Mister anymore. I wonder if he's made the connection yet between the jingling and an imminent Little Sister Attack.

52 Weeks - Week 13

Sitting at the computer, Packet's behind me on Her Chair (all of the chairs are Her Chair).

It all had to pass inspection first
In the time it took me to get the camera and turn it on, Packet decided everything was OK and she went over to her dish to start eating; however, she insisted on smelling everything before she'd let me put any of it away. She's more thorough than the border guards.

The ear swiveled in my direction when I turned the camera on, so I know she was posing for this.

Dishtowels make perfect Packet capes.

Dishtowels make perfect Packet capes.
It's like having a really fuzzy James Brown running around the house. She'd never willingly get in a hot tub, but she's awfully dramatic and she enjoys having someone put a cape on her so she can throw it off while she begs for food. I guess she's got soul. She digs the blues - she's loved Pink Floyd ever since she was a kitten.

I hate plastic bags. I hate them, and you can't make me like them.

I hate plastic bags. I hate them, and you can't make me like them.
I don't even want to be NEAR a plastic bag. You can't make me, and I'll run away if I hear one crinkling. Plastic bags are evil, and scary, and ...what?

You can't see how wet it is. She licked it for 10 minutes straight during the IIHF World Juniors gold medal game (USA! USA! USA!).

7 Days, Day 6
I dunno, I thought she'd feel left out. Judging from the 'make her stop with the cocoa' look she's giving the camera, though, perhaps I overestimated her holiday spirit.

7 days, Day 3

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 18:18:50 GMT

7 days, Day 3
I went to bed way after midnight, so I took my Day 3 picture before falling asleep. Packet has started claiming the feather pillow as her own and sleeping there, sometimes all night. She used to sleep at the foot of the bed, but I can get rather kicky when I sleep, so she's moved to the head of the bed. (Note: this is one of the reasons Darren has his own bed; apparently my knees will seek and destroy anything soft, fleshy, and precious while I'm happily dreaming away. Another reason is that we sleep on different schedules.)

The Packet, she likes to look pretty

Especially when she sits next to the window on a cold, cold winter's day.

Creature comforts, indeed

I draped a toasty-warm-from-the-dryer shirt over Packet. At first she was all WTH R U DOIN but then she was all OOOOOOH DASS NICE.

She's perched atop a pile of toys.

52:03 - ZOMG PUDDING

52:03 - ZOMG PUDDING
Packet loves when I make pudding. She knows the sound of pudding mix being emptied into the milk, and she definitely knows the sound of the beater. If I don't share with her, I have to put up with begging eyes for hours on end. If I DO share, I get to see this face a lot. Notice the cute wrinkles on her nose.

52:02 - It will grow up to be a sweater
Over 40 oz of yarn (each TP roll holds at least 1 oz, some hold more, and the spindle has 2+ oz on it) that will become a 4-ply yarn for my mom's sweater. It just occurred to me that the recycling guys will probably wonder why I'm suddenly throwing away 37 TP rolls next week.
