January 9th, 2008Miscellany

So, I haven’t put up a significant post in a while, some would say ever, and I really haven’t posted any photos in a while.

I’m currently trudging through a pile of magazines that seems endless. Maybe I should seek help for my magazine addiction. I’m about two chapters into The Golden Compass, and I’m finding that I really like it, but then another magazine says, “No, read ME!”

Christmas was alright, and I slept through New Years. New Years has just never been that exciting to me. Dan and I each received a ten dollar gift card to Borders, which I used online to get Wordpress for Dummies and DragonArt. I am sorely unimpressed with DHL’s delivery service. I ordered both books separately (which is a whole ‘nother story), and the first book arrived about 10 days late, while the second book came two days before the first one was due to arrive. Why one book needed to go from Arizona to Ohio to Utah to Montana, while the other only went from Arizona to Montana, I’ll never know.

I had the distinct pleasure of restoring our computer to factory settings. The sfc /scannow command yielded a lovely corrupt file it couldn’t repair which was causing software to stop running. I tried every possible fix I could find online, which included a system restore to a point saved on December 29. That was a mistake which caused I-don’t-know-how-many registry errors. If I try to look on the bright side, it’s almost like getting a new computer all over again. Wait, there’s all that advertising to remove, Windows Vista security to turn off, patches to install, yada yada. There is no bright side. None at’all.

Ah well, it’s done now. And I always have cats to entertain me.





I’ve had this Dendrobium for several years, and it blooms every year. This year it has three bloom spikes, and I expect them to last for several more months.

How sweet are Max and Meg? Too bad they can’t be this sweet while they’re awake.

I haven’t been posting as many photos lately, so today I took a few that I think are cute. The first one is, of course, my favourite.

Meg

Jazz

Max

November 6th, 2006It’s just a blah kind of day

Just a cool moth.

Just a feather.

This is several years old. Bella and Meg sharing Bella’s crate.

I don’t think my sister, Kimmy, reads my blog, she doesn’t even pick up a phone, but this is her and my nephew, Matthew, at his High School graduation in 2003.

November 4th, 2006Well then…

The Meg

Dan wanted to make sure no aliens could read Salem’s mind.

Ginny posted photos of the finished kennel here, these two were during the making of said kennel. The persons featured are the Dan and the Doug.

This was near the reservoir. Dan later knocked the rocks over.

October 21st, 2006Friday Night Frights…

…okay, Saturday Morning Frights!

He’s definitely Dan’s cat!

The two oldest.

If there’s a box, my cats will find it!

September 29th, 2006The Moth and the Meg


This pretty guy hung out on the screen of our door all day.

For this I was inspired by Stuff on my Cat dot com. I was folding laundry and thought I’d see if she’d move. Nope. She just lay there with two pillow cases, two beach towels and a pair of sweat pants. That’s all I had handy to put on her, but I’m sure I could have gotten away with more. This was taken about an hour ago.

Meg is just odd.

The little feline being held down and bathed is Jazz. If you compare the sizes of their heads you can kind of tell the huge size difference. Both are full grown adults, but Meg is about 22 pounds and Jazz is about four pounds.

September 25th, 2006Silly Maine Coon — The Meg

I can’t believe I caught her mid yawn!


Doesn’t she look comfy? Dan thought I should grab a bag of potato chips and a soda can to put next to her.

Meg(era) was a trouble-maker right from the start. She broke her leg in a fight with a craftsman-style window, elluded the authorities in the attic, and rolled off the top of the cat perch in a catnip frenzy. We’re certain that if we were to go away for the night, she’d be the one to invite the local strays over, stay up late and trash the house! Posted by Hello
