Finally Friday

Oh my Cod this has been a long week. With a month left to go in tax season, we're exhausted...

No rest for the weary though because somemommy decided this is a good time to start a remodel of the remaining part of 1978 in our house...

Since it's a little half bath we're hoping it takes a little time to remodel and makes a lot less noise than it did on day one. Hard working kitties need their daily beauty naps!

Anything new going on in your neck of the woods?

Hope you have a great weekend!

Tortie Tuesday

Did you get to see the solar eclipse yesterday? If so, I hear it was amazing. If not, yeah, I didn't either. I was taking my five hour morning nap... 

When Mommy came in babbling something about the total solar eclipse happening at 10:17am...

Seriously Mommy? You woke me up for an eclipse? 

Clearly she didn't realize it meant it was going to get dark and what do we do when it gets dark? That's right. Sleep. *sigh* Anyway, I knew my little sisfur was watching her watch the eclipse because, well, she doesn't let Mommy out of her sight...

See, it got dark! I guess the stars came out too. I wouldn't know. I was sleeping.

How was your view of the eclipse?

Hope you enjoy a nap this Tortie Tuesday!

Tortie Tuesday

It's the first Tortie Tuesday of 2017 and I need to catch up on my beauty sleep after helping Daddy set up Mommy's new work computer yesterday afternoon...

It was supposed to be a simple plug in and go kind of set up but in reality it took five hours and a lot of complaining on Mommy's behalf - she really does not like change. Well, I don't like the disruption during my nap time!

I don't know how I'm going to recoup that five hours of sleep in addition to my normal 22 hours when there's only 24 hours in  the day! This is not a good way to start the new year!

Do you cope well with change or disruption?

Hope you enjoy some zzz's this Tortie Tuesday!

Finally Friday

Although we finished our tax work by Wednesday this week, Mommy decided it was time to do some cleaning around the house. Mainly things like putting away stuffs from their Alaska trip from a month ago and cleaning stuffs off her desk from even more months ago. Snoopervising was so exhausting that I thought I'd give her a break from making the bed today...

Pretty thoughtful of me isn't it? I'm such a sweet Tortie. I'm also sleepy and there's a nap calling my name. Thank Cod I'm already in bed!

Hope you enjoy a sleep filled weekend!

Isabella

Back to Normal? Not Yet...

Status report of day two of getting back to normal...

It's going to take a bit longer...

Or maybe we have a new normal and it involves all day naps.

Just sayin.

How do you deal with post-visitor, after vacation get back to normal time?

Hope you enjoy your Tortie Tuesday!

Tortie Tuesday

It's the last Tortie Tuesday of the month plus it follows a holiday weekend so is it any wonder I only woke up after Mommy so rudely flung back the covers exposing my comfy hidey place...

Actually Mommy didn't even know I was there before she flung away so I scared the halibut out of her. Kinda serves her right don't you think?

I'm even not technically on her pillow. Yep, I'm good! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to sleep for the rest of May. Or at least until lunch!

Did you enjoy a long weekend?

Hope you do whatever you please this Tortie Tuesday!

Weekend Wrap Up

Another weekend flew by. They come and go so fast we hardly notice them any more. Even spring came as a rainy day which we've had all too many of. Mommy and I did enjoy some relaxing time together. She wrapped herself in the soft, cushy throw that I swear has a kitty magnet in it...

It just feel so good to lay on...

It gives me biscuit making feets...

And makes me super sleepy...

Zzzzzz

Purrs,

Angel

Tortie Tuesday

*stretch*

February seemed so long this year I wasn't sure March would ever get here!

Now that it is, wake me up when it's April...

Or at least by dinner time.

Hope you have a lazy kind of Tortie Tuesday!

Isabella

Tortie Tuesday

It's Tortie Tuesday and also day two of our quote challenge we started yesterday. I'm a very wise Tortie so today's quote is something I came up with for Mommy when she used to wake up on Sunday immediately wishing the day would last forever to avoid going to work on Monday...

"Don't dread tomorrow because you'll lose the joy of today."

Thankfully she no longer dreads Monday or any work day but she keeps this quote in mind when any dread starts stealing her joy. I make the most of my bed every moment of joy each day...

See, I'm a very wise (and beautiful) Tortie!

Hope you savor every moment of joy this Tortie Tuesday!

Isabella

Tortie Tuesday

I got all situated in the cat tree and even made sure to show my Tortie toesies but it seems I'm a little late for the sunpuddles today...

It's taking awhile to figure out the sun's schedule now that I'm not sleeping all day. As much. It's a tough job being a bright eyed Tortie but I'll figure it out!

All that sleep has certainly made me beautiful!

Hope you have a sun filled Tortie Tuesday!

Isabella

Tortie Tuesday

Obstacles can't stop you

Problems can't stop you

Others can't stop you

The only one who stops you is yourself.

Or...

The need for a nap stops me every time! A Tortie needs her beauty sleep!

Hope no obstacles stop your beauty sleep this Tortie Tuesday!

Finally Friday!

Hey Isabella, it's Friday! Aren't you ready for movie night tonight? Daddy might even give you a piece of popcorn. Won't that be worth waking up for?

Alright, I'm up - for Daddy, not the movie or popcorn. Well, maybe...

Oh, sorry, Bella. I didn't mean for you to get up right now - it's not night yet. Usually it takes you hours to wake up so I was just giving you a heads up in case you forgot what day it was.

What?

Okay. In that case. Wake me when it's really time to get up...

A Tortie can't be skimping on her beauty sleep even if it is for popcorn Daddy!

Hope you have a Friday worth waking up for!

Happy weekend too!

Isabella

Finally Friday

We're glad it's Friday although we're in the midst of the really hots. How hot is it you ask? It's so hot that I have to air out my Tortie tummy...

Speaking of hots, Happy Birthday to our Grandma from Vegas! I hope you enjoy your day stripping!

Bella! She's not stripping!

Mommy, I thought you said she was going to strip to celebrate her birthday.
No, she's going to THE Strip - it's a destination in Las Vegas...

Oh, I see. It's so hot my brain is melting and I can't think straight.
Isabella, it's hot OUTside but it's still as cool as always in here.
Well then clearly I need sleep so if you'll excuse me, it's time for a nap...

Hope you stay cool and get plenty of rest today!
Enjoy your weekend too!

Isabella

Tortie Tuesday

Every morning when Mommy gets out of bed, she quickly pulls the covers over her pillow because she knows I will even more quickly lay on it...

It's a race that I usually win.  I win the cuteness race too - wouldn't you agree?  

Enjoy your Tortie Tuesday!

Isabella

Tortie Tuesday

I don't know about you but even though the time change was two weeks ago, I'm still not used to it.  When the alarm goes off at o'dark thirty I just know it's an hour earlier than it should be!   Regardless, I stretch out my voluptuous Tortie legs and go right back to sleep...

That is until Mommy's giggles wake me up...

Seriously Mommy, what is so funny?

Clearly she's a few hours sleep short of a full load.  Now if she'll just leave I can get back to my beauty sleep...

Moms are easily amused sometimes aren't they?

Are you adjusting to getting up in the dark better than I am?

Enjoy some zzzz's this Tortie Tuesday!

Isabella

Tortie Tuesday

It's Tortie Tuesday so you'd think I'd get to nap wherever I please, right?  Well, I like to sleep on Mommy's pillow but she complains about Tortie furs on her face at night.  Whatever.  Anyway, she gets up at o'dark thirty and attempts to pull up the covers but isn't always successful.  She must have radar because how else would she know I'm on her pillow...

Shoot.  I forgot to turn off my lasers!  She'll never see me now...

A Tortie always gets what she wants!

Hope you get what you want today too!

Isabella

Tortie Tuesday

I had a lot of fun celebrating my birthday.  I got extra treats and cuddles and I even got extra beautiful now that I'm 9 years old...

Of course I owe a lot of that to the extra beauty sleep I've had over the years.  Speaking of which...

It's time for some more of that beauty sleep so I remain extra beautiful for years to come!

Hope you enjoy extra beauty sleep today!

Isabella

Tortie Tuesday

We had a great time with our Daddy but we're glad that Mommy came home from Colorado yesterday.  I passed up a nap to keep an eye out for her...

I did have backup nearby in case it got too far past naptime...

But for the most part I stayed bright eyed...

And Tortie tailed...

We were both really happy when she got home though.  Now we can catch up on naps and missed treats since Daddy is a tad more stingy dishing them out than she is!

Hope you have a treat filled day too!

Isabella

Tortie Tuesday

From what I understand from my little sisfur, I missed a lot of excitement last weekend...

*stretch*

A comfy bed to nap on is all the excitement I need this Tortie Tuesday (or any day for that matter)!

Hope you enjoy a nap or four today!

Isabella

Tortie Tuesday!

We hope everyone enjoyed the long Memorial Day weekend!  I enjoyed it by doing what I love best...

Now, before you get the wrong idea that I'm the only one around here who enjoys a nap or two or twenty a day, I want you to know that the top bunk was being used too...

I think I'll celebrate Tortie Tuesday by doing much of the same!

How did you spend the holiday weekend?

Enjoy your Tortie Tuesday!
