This and That

It was a whirlwind weekend around here but progress was made on Christmas preparations. Packages were mailed today, our cards should arrive today so we can mail them tomorrow and only one more beady goody needs to be made for a gift. We bought our packages for Daddy already but Mommy needs to get him something. We're pretty sure it won't be a reindeer truck with a dog...
All this present stuff reminded us of a story about gifts Daddy bought in Disneyland for his minions employees. He got small packages of Mickey shortbread cookies and he had all 10 of them plus a bigger package for our Grandpa from Kansas in his carry on to avoid them being broken in the luggage. Anyway, his bag was picked to be searched by the Orange County airport TSA because they could not figure out what they were seeing on their x-ray thingy. While they were swiping the cookies and testing them for explosives, Daddy was telling the guy they were for his employees and that he'd get in trouble if he didn't bring them anything. The TSA guy kinda broke a smile but stayed tough during all the testing. Who knew Mickey cookies could look dangerous...
Anyway, we're glad this weekend is over because we were pretty stressed about it...
Now we can relax and enjoy the rest of the holidays before you know what starts again in January.

How was your weekend?

Hope your week is off to a great start!

Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day!
Valentines Day is somemommy's favorite holiday and she's attempting to make Daddy dinner tonight. She cooks just once or twice or zero times a year so she's been stressed for days but she's determined to do it. Or at least try. I hope there's a back up plan. Just sayin. 

Wishing you much love and happiness today and always!

Happy Tortie Valentines Day!

Monday Makeover

It's already mid-November and somemommy is on a mission to cross to-do things off her list before the end of the year (i.e. the start of tax season). One thing crossed off was replacing the foam and fabric on our Birdie perch...
It's much cleaner and nicer than the old stuff but the stripes kinda make me dizzy...
Angel, how is it for watching birdies?
Oh yeah, let me check Bella...
It's comfy and pretty purrfect for long hours of watching Birdie TV...
Quality control approves of this makeover...
I hear her to-do list involves relaxation in order to avoid her usual stressed holiday season. I'm pretty sure I'll approve of that too.

Do you have a year end to-do list too?

Hope you enjoy your Monday!

Tortie Tuesday

It's Tortie Tuesday and it's also election day here in the U.S....
Wake me when it's all over...
We'll be glad when this election is over. Somemommy has been stressed for awhile now. Purr therapy has helped but we're hoping that however things turn out today, our country comes together and we can put this all behind us. More love and treats, less bickering and bullying!

Hope you enjoy your Tortie Tuesday!

Finally Friday!

Oh what a week this has been!  As you may have seen on FB, Mommy is leaving her job of 16 years to officially become the right kind of CPA (Cat's Personal Assistant) and totally devote every waking minute to us!  What's that Mommy?  You're not going to be catering to us every minute of the day?  Oh alright.  She still will be doing the other kind of CPA tax stuff for a friend but won't be working nearly as much.  Her friend's CPA firm is in Colorado so that means she'll still be telecommuting from home so we can help her.  She's much happier already with the stress of tax season off her shoulders and as long as our foods don't run out, we're happy too!  Anyway, we don't think we ever updated that the guest litterbox remodel is officially complete!  I was supposed to model it but since I still had valerian root in my system, I wiggled a bit...
Since Isabella never wiggles she'll continue the tour but you can see that the backsplash is complete (ignore the reflection in the mirror)...
It's the same border tile that's in the shower.  The little squares that are lighter colored are actually clear glass with silver at the bottom of the tile.  Hard to tell in photos we know...
Because of the silver glass tiles (and because of cost savings due to expected leaving of job), the fixtures are all chrome...
It's kinda freaky seeing our reflections though!
Of course we have kitty art on the walls...
I think that's everything.  Did I forget anything Angel?
Yeah, the faucet makes the perfect kitty fountain!
That's the grand tour of the new guest litterbox and one good thing about Mommy's job situation is no more noisy strangers are expected any time soon! 

Hope any changes in your neck of the woods makes you as happy as changes have made us!

Finally Friday

Boy are we ever happy it's Friday!  We may have been in Mommy's office with her all tax season but that was way different than being locked in!  We get out the second the front door shuts after the last stranger leaves and we do an inspection...

Not only are the strangers noisy but they're very messy!

The walls should be done today which means Mommy has to paint this weekend but at least she'll be the only one locked in the room!  Hey, that means we'll be locked out!  We don't like that either!  No doors should be shut!

Hope you have a quiet, non-stressful day!

Tortie Tuesday

It's Tortie Tuesday!  You know, I've been thinking, wouldn't it be wonderful if humans were more like us cats when it comes to taking things in stride and not stress as much?  Even the time change with daylight savings time caused a stir but it didn't bother me at all.  I still got in my 20 hours of sleep no matter what time the clock said...

Mommy always dreads Mondays and tax season but life is too short to live with dread.  She needs to learn to enjoy every moment and seek out the treats that every day offers.  I sure do! 

Think like a Tortie today and notice the joy the day brings!  Then be sure to take a nap! 

Have a Happy Tortie Tuesday!
