Belated Friday Fotos

And once again, here are my favorites. Go here to pick yours and vote for your favorite.

I certainly do not support the modeling industry, but I thought this picture was awesomely ethereal and , for me, captured the strangeness of humans being on display for others...


This is just crazy. I cannot imagine this way of life:


This was an interesting story, but such a wasteful protest :(


The story that accompanied this photo is heartbreaking. Talk about a casualty of war.


I love the expression on this man's face, as well as Obama's. I have always enjoyed Obama's comforting voice and demeanor, and imagine he is good in these situations. I also love that Obama is obviously not under an umbrella and his suit is wet.


This photo feels almost too cliche, but it is so beautiful.

Happy Belated Caturday!

Well, I'd like you to finally meet the new lovelies in my life, known collectively as "The Kittens". My friend Amy heard one of them screaming and crying in the woods outside of her apartment. She brought him inside, cleaned him up, and called me, her animal freak friend, naturally. :)

When I arrived (she met me at the door with the kitten in just the palm of her hand! Tiny!) I told her that it was kind of weird to find just one; we had better look for more. Well, we found three more! We got a brief glimpse of the mama cat, and we are still trying to trap her and at least get her spayed.

The kittens, two black and two Siamese-y, have been with me for about three weeks now. In the beginning, there was a big huddle as they were unsure of what fate had befallen them.



And the occasional timid venture away from the rest. Here is the loud mouth that got them all rescued. :)

Love the perfect alternating pattern

Then it was all about the bottle-feeding. Constantly.




It gets a little messy. More on that later...


Some footage

And cuteness. Oh the cuteness!






And the mischief:

On the keyboard tray of the desk

Had to tape the bed to the cabinets because they kept tipping it over and getting trapped!

And the playfulness as they grow:







Some awesome footage of their playtime. It gets pretty damn cute in the middle:





And the naps as they wear themselves out:

Napping on my free weights, of course

Two buds




More to come, of course. They are too cute and I can't stop taking pictures! :)

Friday Fotos

Alright, let's try this again. If only because a blog isn't really a blog if all of the posts are just apologies for not blogging. So here's the Friday feature, and stay tuned for Caturday and a special, brand spankin' new Sunday feature!

Here are my faves. Now choose yours.

Here are my faves this week:



Yours?

Want You Back For Good

I'm back! I swear! The beginning of school plus doctor's appointments plus animal ownership plus animal rescue = one woman with no time or energy to blog. But finally, this Friday night has offered me a chance to breathe and update.

First of all, I simply want to whine about the number of appointments I've had in the past few weeks. No joke:
8/19: Chiropractor
8/20: Bunny to vet
8/21: Sports medicine doc; chiropractor
8/22: Massage (Okay, that was a niiiiiice appointment)
8/24: Psychiatrist; chiropractor
8/25: Orthopedist; Chiropractor; Dentist
8/26: Chiropractor
8/27: Dentist; GP; Chiropractor
8/31: GP; Chiropractor
9/2: Lab; Chiropractor
9/4: GP

And next week already has 5 appointments on deck. Reasons for all of these visits?
-Pain in my hand which turned out to be a nodule in my tendon- possible surgery
-Starting with new, very thorough but very helpful chiropractor
-CONSTANT, CHRONIC nausea- speculated to be: Pregnancy, IBS, and gallstones. So far: none of the above. The search continues next week.

Thank you for coming to my pity party!!

More of an update later on the animal rescue side of things, but for now, a photo to tantalize you:


Why yes, that IS a pile of kittens!

More soon. Gosh it feels good to be back.
