MEK Tuesdays

No, you don't fit in my purse. You have to stay home.

I think Round Thing has an idea of what's about to happen. For a week leading up to the day that I collapsed she was sleeping on my left leg. That's where the clot was. This past week she's been sitting on my tummy--which is where the filter is.
MEK just does whatever. She's not as dependent on me as Round Thing is but the two of them are inseparable. I'm gonna miss my babies!

I'm back!

For the past week I have been without laptop access. My charger crapped out completely. Therefore I have missed MEK Tuesdays and will be posting a giant rant about my experiences with Battlestar Galactica about three weeks later than I thought I would. We're still tearing through the series, and a friend has been teasing me with details. Right now I picture her giggling at me as I flip out occasionally on Facebook when something really nutso happens, or when I'm pondering the awesome that is Laura Roslin, or when I'm making a poor attempt at Adama-ing someone into doing something that is equally as stupid as what they're trying to do, but not as dangerous. And I love her for it.

So today, a replacement charger arrived in the mail. This bad boy cost $12 with shipping and I have never been so happy to see a small, taped-up box. I feel like I regrew a missing limb.

This picture of Round Thing getting snuggled has nothing to do with the agony of not having laptop access for the last week, by the way. Just honoring a special request.

MEK Tuesdays


Two of the loves of my life.

MEK Tuesdays

It was a very strange day.

MEK Tuesdays

This stealing of Fahnz's spot on the couch happens on a near-hourly basis. It usually ends in cuddles and pets, maybe treats.
Round Thing sleeps in strange positions, even for a cat. One day I found her laying on her back with all four paws up like a bug.

I love this picture.
Our kitties sit and look out the window all day long. They've got it rough, let me tell you.

MEK Tuesdays

This is the face I get when I disturb her from a lounge-a-thon.

Later she tried to bite me. NOT GOOD. One little claw-slap and I had a bruise for a week.

She's all "Gerroff me!"

Five more days

and then the recital will be over. Hopefully then we can get some rest.

I find this inspirational:

Brucie the cat and Meggie-pup, lounging in harmony. I want to be anywhere close to that peaceful. Won't happen anytime soon but at least Fahnz is understanding about the situation. Normally I would go on about how great he is but I think anyone who knows us is already aware of that.



All of my mother's pets match not just her house, but each other.
I am not kidding. Two tuxedo cats, one black-and-white pupper, one black-and-brown pupper, and one gorgeous collie.

I guess it's a sign of an artistic mind, that she has matching animals. If they can ever get together and sit still long enough for us to get a picture, it should totally be her next Christmas card.

At the moment my girls are curled up on the couch. They spend a lot of time snuggling:

and sometimes I'll find myself with one kitty on my left arm and one kitty on my right. It's like being smothered in love.

Pearl was needy today. She carries stuff around and talks very loudly when she gets like this. I think she's looking for me and wants to bring me presents. When I came home from the hospital she would not leave me alone, and even after nine weeks since I've been out she sits at the window waiting for me to come home from the studio or come in from my walk or from getting the mail. If I'm inside she follows me around and squeaks. Yes, that big kitty squeaks like a baby bird... but when she's curled up in my lap and purring, it's like she's a tiny kitten all over again.

In fifteen hours and seventeen minutes, it will have been ten weeks.

MEK Tuesdays

Cuteness in stereo.

Round Thing was TINY when I got her. She could fit in the palm of my hand and leave room for a sandwich. Now she is a big girl. Really big. One of my friends likens her to a furry tank, armed with pens and ponytail holders, squishing everything in sight and squeaking all the while.


Her new family nickname is Pearlschweiger. I have no idea where Fahnz came up with that, but he's brilliant and I love it.

How the hell do I ever get any work done?

MEK Tuesdays

Someone referred to my youngest cat as Memory-Erase Kitten after a bad encounter with the "Twilight" film.
Apparently my kitty is so cute (stepdad once spent twenty minutes looking for a "Made In Japan" sticker on her) she makes you forget all the bad stuff in the world. After weeks and lots of requests for pictures of this miraculous furbaby, the nickname stuck.
Here's MEK hiding behind a couch pillow.

Round Thing


I think I love you.

This cat is ridiculous.
