Sunday Night

I'm one of those people who has hundreds of pictures on my computer, but am only in about 2% of them (and half of that is because I take self portraits). That's because I'm the only one around here that actually takes pictures. Here's some pictures from tonight.


My gorgeous fish tank!


A self portrait of me and Mango, who is a complete camera hog.


Another self portrait, of me and my sleepy, floppy Gypsy.


Jay with a silhouette of Gypsy.


Here's Adam.

Adam and Gypsy

Adam recently shaved his beard and let me shave his head. This was after he actually grew a mullet because Christian would buy him a cam if he did. (A cam is a piece of climbing gear.) Thankfully, I have no pictures of the actual mullet...
I also shaved Gypsy, in a lion cut. It's a little uneven, because I've never shaved a cat before, and she started freaking out near the end. I think it turned out well, though. She's now cool for the summer, and she loves being petted even more because of the new sensations due to having no fur... :)

Adam and His Guitar-Playing Kitty

Gypsy decided to see if Adam wanted to snuggle while he was playing the guitar. He propped her up so she was "playing with him," and I made him hold her until I could locate the camera. Gypsy was not amused.

I just learned a couple of days ago that my mom actually had two blogs, like me. I'm just used to her calling and asking how to load pictures online or something of the like. I was so used to her being able to do anything, get kicked by a horse and walk away, take in a baby bird or a wounded cat.

There was something there as I read that reminded me of something I thought today. "It is a good experience to come into the kitchen in the morning and have three small, excited beings literally hopping around me. I am popular. I am wonderful. I am unparallelled in their universe." She was talking about her rabbits. I get so frustrated sometimes when Skeet is snuggling next to me on the couch, Mango is shoving his head under my fingers or trying to keep warm inside my shirt, and Gypsy wriggling to get comfortable on my lap. All at the same time.

Today, though, I was on my computer. I stopped and looked around, and Adam had headphones on, Mango was cleaning himself on top of his cage, and the cats were sleeping. I had this sudden forlorn feeling that nobody needed me. I got Adam off his computer and told him this, and he told me he always needed me. The pets were just giving me a breather, because a few minutes later, Skeet followed me into the craft room just to keep me company. It's nice to know that you're needed.

The Gang

Here's some pics I've taken the last few days... Adam and Carl playing video games, with Gypsy "helping", and Skreeter curled up on my pillow.

Kreeter and Gypse

This is a rare picture of our two kitties actually getting along... Usually if they get this close, it's to wrestle. Aren't they cute? They were even cleaning each others' faces!

Gypsy's Costume

I actually made a Halloween costume for Gypsy, though she only wore it for about a minute. She's a black-eyed susan! Isn't she adorable? And doesn't she look soooo happy? Hahahaha! *No animals were harmed in the making of these pictures.

Glamour Shots

I tried to do some "glamour shots" of the kitties. Some turned out great, some didn't... Oh, well. There's only so much you can do with kittens, especially ours! :)

Life

An update on life... I lost my job a couple of weeks ago, and Adam's taken on more hours at Mountainworks. I'm unable to get a new job yet, due to crappy mental circumstances, but I'm taking on more dog walking clients now, so at least it will mean a little more extra cash then we otherwise would have had. I've started my own company, called Fairy Tails. Cute, huh? I'm a professional Pet Sitter and Dog Walker now. Due to the superfluous nature of my job, I can charge exorbitant amounts. :)
Skeet and Gypsy are rather mellow today, actually sleeping next to each other on the same couch, which is a rare occurrence. They get along pretty well, but Skeet is fairly particular about his sleeping arrangements. Mango was pretty good today, with minor headaches for me, which is good. He slept on top of my monitor while I surfed the net (I'm so hip with the computer jargon! :P) and didn't chew any important papers up. Both Key and Cloud have died. Key was put to sleep after her tumors were so bad she couldn't walk, and we figured it was time. Cloud died about two weeks after. She had a small tumor, but it was losing Key that did it for her, I think. I still miss them, but it doesn't hurt so much anymore.
Starting next month I'm taking a lace tatting class. As boring as that may sound to some people, it's very exciting for me. I've also finally learned how to knit, so hopefully I'll be able to make knitted things as well as crocheted stuff.
I know that it's not the New Year yet or anything, but I'm going to make a couple of resolutions right now. I figure they're just as binding as the ones that you make on New Year's Day, anyway. I'm going to blog more often, as well as finally add some more stuff to my online shop. My crocheted hats I'm going to try and get sold here in Provo, though, on consignment. I won't tell you where yet, because the owner might not agree, but the owner's wife is excited about it, so I think it will happen! We all know that the wives run everything, anyway! Heehee...

Gypsy in a Box

We got a cool scanner/printer/photo printer thingie, and Gypsy just loved the box that it came in! She somehow got past all of the styrofoam and wrappings that were in the box and camped in the back for a while. Isn't she adorable?

Adam's Beard Grew Eyes!

This is a very adorable picture of Adam messing around with Gypsy. Isn't it cute? It looks like Adam's beard grew a couple of yellow eyes.
