Happy Bunday!

We've been doing a lot of cleaning and organizing around here, especially since the incoming wedding gifts (yay!).

I had recently organized a shelf in our living room, when I spotted a stowaway. Thought you might enjoy a quick game of "One of these does not belong"...


Just kidding- this precious girl gets to go and do whatever she wants! Little punk....

Happy Bunday!

Belated Happy Caturday!

Wow, our Saturday was busy!

Really wish I could have been doing this...


Or this...


Or definitely this:


As it was, I ended up sleeping all day Sunday/Bunday. :)

Hope you had a productively busy Caturday, too!

Friday Fotos

Friday Fotos on Friday! (And just in the nick of time! Okay, I at least started before midnight...) Sound the alarm!

Alright- you know the drill. Here are my faves from this week (and you can go here to find yours):

Power in numbers

(And how is the photographer getting that shot?!)

Gross, but watching kids discover things is always inspiring :)

Wow- cool work, cramped workspace

Haha- funny perspective, cute pic

Something about this picture that I really love
Maybe it's that they are facing death every day, yet still have the same human reaction to dust in the eyes?

'Til next time!

Happy Bunday!

Oh, man, it's been a day. A terrible, terrible day. So let's look at a cute bun! :)

Yep, that's cute. Damn cute.

Yep, you can have whatever you want.

Hehehehe. Accordion bunny!

Ahhhhh, that helped.

Hoped you had a better Bunday! :)

Belated Happy Caturday!

Instead of the usual cast of characters (our furkids...and they are characters!), I'd like to introduce you to our houseguests/feral-kittens-in-taming-slash-up-for-adoption: Chai and Salty.

Oooo, not a happy Chai! This was right after being neutered, so I'm thinking that expression is understandable!

The sweet Salty (harhar)

(You can see more of our first pics of them here)

Double trouble
(Gosh, they're getting big!)

That Chai's a looker! Love his coat and markings.

Don't let that sleepy look fool you! They have climbed all of my sweaters and thrown them (and my shoes) on the floor. Naughty! Yet normal, for kittens. ;)

They are definitely getting used to their plush lifestyle- they start crying in the morning for their hand-delivered wet food ;)

Relaxing, finally. So happy these boys will have good lives.

Do let me know if you'd like to give them a home! You can't beat the love of human-raised cats!

Hope you had a Happy Caturday!

Belated Friday Fotos

Well hello! As usual, life got a little busy and stressful (good and bad), but I'm back! And hope to update you with all of the happenings shortly!

So let's get to it- here are my faves from this past week (and you can go here to find yours):

Oh, construction...

RightHand and I helped out at a Habitat for Humanity house recently, and I feel asleep on our living room carpet when we got home. Can't imagine the tasks ahead of these folks... :(

Gorgeous scene of a grim situation

Pretty much says it all.
The pond should definitely be bigger than his hat! ;)

'Til next time...

Universal Love

As I've mentioned before, I awaken to find an e-mail from The Universe every day. Well, Monday through Friday, and let's face it, that's when I most need a little inspiration. As The Universe very well knows. (Because it's The Universe.)

As a service to all my other Universals (that would be a cool official name of people living in the Universe, yes? You heard it here first!), I thought I'd share a little more of the love that I have received, as it is applicable to all people, in all places. If you'd like to set up your own e-mail relationship with The Universe (isn't that how all things start these days?), just go here.

Below I've changed my name to "Reader", so as to make it reach you a little more directly. :) Enjoy!

Message from The Universe #1:

One of the trickiest things about life, Reader, is that, at times, it happens so slowly.

Yet... if... it... happened... any... faster... you'd... already... have... everything... you... ever... wanted... without... learning... to... enjoy... the... ride.

Beep, beep...
The Universe

Message from The Universe #2:

Last night, Reader, I was dreaming of you, again.

You were radiant, confident, and light beamed in every direction from the core of your being. Music followed you, angels serenaded you, and everyone was elevated by your presence. Wisdom shown from your eyes. Kindness emanated from your touch. And your power was simply awesome.

You looked, well... pretty much... exactly as you do right now.

Wow,
The Universe

Message from The Universe #3:

Reader, do you know why dogs are so quick to wag their tails and cats are so quick to purr? Even the ones that have been lonely, abused, and betrayed?

Because, as is true of all animals, they were instilled with the distant awareness that no matter what the world shows them, they're still deeply loved and needed, that their presence alone has made a difference, and that in just the shake of a leg, seemingly without reason or rhyme, everything can FANTASTICALLY change for the better.

As is true of all people, except sometimes they tend to forget.

Purrfectly,
The Universe

Message from The Universe #4:

The big ideas almost never seem like big ideas, at first.

So, Reader, be on the lookout for little ideas that seem kind of ho-hum, ain't no 'thang,' let me floss first, kind of ideas.

Really.

The Universe

Message from The Universe #5:

Did you know, Reader, that every time you cry there, harps go quiet here, angels stop dancing, and the stars look down in stunned silence?

Which is why we often say, "If Reader ain't happy, ain't no one happy."

You are loved,
The Universe

Alright, that it probably all of the love you can handle for now- more to come in the future! :)

Happy Bunday!

This is my idea of heaven...

Two buns, one human, one love :)

Kissy kissy

Tellin' secrets

Nappin'

Imparting wise words, I'm sure :)

Sometimes RightHand gets a piece of it, too...


Hope you had a relaxing Bunday!

Happy Caturday!

Much like Gatsby...




And Royal...


I'm just having one of those weeks!

Hope you had a better Caturday!

Belated Friday Fotos

You know the drill! Here are my faves from the week (go here to pick yours):

Love the color contrasts in this photo

Wow- what a perspective.
And please don't tell me he dug the whole thing with his hands!

Love those eyes.
This picture makes me sad, though- I think our sports culture has come to value perseverance over respect and kindness to our bodies

Great picture! Are we seeing wingtip vortices?

A good, strange week... 'Til next time!

Happy Bunday!

A little exhausted on this Sunday afternoon, but that's what you get when you are curious about things like polo matches in the summer heat (watching, not playing!).

Miss Daisy is often curious (and cute!) too...


Hope you had an inspiring Bunday!

Happy Caturday!

In keeping with the Casey Anthony "innocence" theme of late, these darlings would like you to know that they're innocent!!

Somebody spilled the jellybeans!
(And that someone is hiding behind the pillow...Royal!)

Latte really was framed- literally and figuratively!
This is the scene of one of the many times we have removed our mattresses to clean-up the bunny mess under the bed (Chewed magazine and rugs- there to protect the carpet and our sanity!)

Hope you have a guilt-free Caturday!

Friday Fotos

Late as usual, but here now!

Here are my fave photos from the week (go here to pick yours):

This reminds me of swimming at the lake in MN, playing with the current and dam at the river...oh, sweet memories...!

Don't even know how you begin to clean up this kind of mess

A sweet scene

This kills me. Absolutely kills me.

Green green green! Would love to see this on my commute home ;)

The end of an era...

...Yet the beginning of another?

'Til next time!

Happy Bunday!

As promised, here are the videos of the bonding process.

Belated Happy Caturday!

Because it's so, so hot here...

It was time for the summer haircut! Lucky Royal...

(No, seriously! I'm asking for this 'do at the salon! ;)

Hope you had a cool Caturday!
