So Very Much to Say
So, things that I've been meaning to blog about:
1. New kittens.
2. New trees.
3. My car.
4. Cross country.
1. New Kittens
As I discussed in a previous post the female parental unit got a new little kitten. And as promised, here are some pics of the tiny mr. wolf:
He's kinda like one of those wild egyptian cats.
Now he doesn't always look like this, obviously. He's trying to be big to keep the world's worst cat at bay, and at the time it worked. The reason I didn't lead with a cuter image, is because of the following:
You see that little black speck of a kitten in the back ground? Well that's my new kitten. And largely due to the fact that she's the cutest thing in the world, and nothing to do with the fact that she's my little thing I have a gazillion and a half images of her, but don't worry, I'll only subject you to a few of them.
And finally, this one to give you and idea of her wee little, itty bitty size.
She is the most adorable little thing in the world. I got her, not because I need another cat, or even that my cats need another cat to hang out with, but because a student at school had kittens that she needed to give away, and she knows how I feel about cats. She wore me down with cute pics and finally got me to say yes.
2. New Trees
Prior to the cute bits of fluff coming into my life, my newest acquisition has been two new trees. Already they help fill in the yard, and I'm so excited to see them grow. I put an imperial locust in the back yard, and a japanese double blossom cherry tree in the front. I'm so excited about the cherry. I've always loved these trees and I can't wait to see it in all it's glory.
Planting the cherry was a bit of an issue. The ones I grew up with were small, but it turns out that this tree and get to be 40 feet. I had no idea, and it took me a while to settle on a place, but it all worked out, as long as it doesn't destroy the sidewalk in the future.
3. My Car
Oh, woe is me. I hurt my adorable little car. It all started with a rabbit, stupid rabbit. I was driving home after inviting myself to the parental unit's anniversary dinner and I noticed a rabbit on my front walk. I realized it was one of my neighbors rabbits, and I realized that I needed to get that rabbit back in their front yard, especially as it was a wee black one and it was make motions as though it wanted to cross the street. As my brain waded through this information, my foot failed to compress the brake fully and I was snapped out of my rabbit induced thought process by a horribly crunching noise. I managed to scrunch my door. It's nothing that serious, but it looks bad, which I would show, if I could find my camera. Oh, my poor, poor car. I am so sorry, and I promise I'll get rid of the wall soon, until then, I need an auto pilot for my driveway. The whole thing is apparently beyond my ability to handle. I can't back out straight without getting freaked and I'm incapable of safely navigating the drop into the gutter without catching my bumper. Grrr, argh!
4. Cross Country.
I was originally going to blog about this because I was proud of my team, but it's turned into such a horrible shitfest recently, that I'm going to ignore it and ride it out through footlocker.
On another, better note, here is a picture of the cute kitten to make me feel better.
Hey! What ya' know, it worked.

Sick cats.
So I've had an unfinished post sitting about for a while now. I'll still try and get it up, but part of what has kept me from posting have been my sick cats. Poor things. The pig turns into a giant baby when he's sick, and he just got the worst of it yesterday. I spent the day petting him and forcing water down him. This morning he fought back, which is good, it means he's feeling better. My bad cat, has been an angel, that's how I know he's not well. He sits around putting up with anything and behaving himself. This wonderful behavior combined with his lowered intake of food is about the only notice I have that he isn't feeling well. The little bit of stuff that got them both sick is fine and happily terrorizing both of them. Since I haven't yet mentioned this bit of stuff I'll try and get that last post up and out so everyone can share in her cuteness.
