Wordless Wednesday - Nightly Ritual

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!

Weekend Update

We hope your New Year is off to a good start! Of course we didn't make it up until midnight but the fireworks in the neighborhood let us know when it officially became 2017. Other than that, our weekend started off Friday night with me helping Daddy hook something up to his new TV...

On Saturday, Mommy and Daddy went to the coast for a fish dinner (no, we didn't get any) and a drive along the ocean with views like this...

Yesterday Daddy improved the reception on Birdie TV...

We held down the furniture the rest of the day while Mommy worked on Christmas New Years presents for her friends. They again involve glue and other things we can't help with. It's no wonder they're so late. We're looking forward to both Mommy and Daddy being home today and a short first week of 2017. We'll take all the short weeks we can get since tax season is looming. *sigh*

Did you have a good start to 2017?

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Angel

Happy New Year!

We may not have stayed up to see the New Year arrive...

But it's here and we wish you a very Happy 2017! We hope your year is filled with lots of love, friends, happiness, good health and smiles!

Happy New Year to all of you from all of us!

Ess-capades

Hey Angel, nothing like the smell of a nice, new Ess is there?

Or a fuzzy thingamabob on the side of it too...

Hey looks it's gone!

My head is gone too!

Yeah, no joke chica. Have you been in the nip stash?

Now what the halibut are you doing Bella?

Oh my Cod, I don't even know what to make of you anymore...

What are you giggling at Mommy?

Can't a Tortie kick up her feets these days without comments from the peanut gallery? Sheesh.

Do you every go crazypants for no reason?

Hope you are able to kick up your feets today!

Isabella

Holiday Weekend Wrap Up

We hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend! We sure did! On Christmas Eve our stockings were hung by the chimney with care...

Angel sat on her new Ess from Santa...

Isabella enjoyed a box even though somemommy's present was still inside it...

She continued to enjoy it all evening long...

We all enjoyed our Christmas and realize that even though we got presents we love, the best part of the holiday was spending it together. 

What was the best part of your holiday weekend?

Wishing you the holiday spirit all year long!

Angel and Isabella

Merry Christmas!

We're starting our holiday celebration early so want to wish you and your family joy, love and happiness for Christmas and always...

Merry Christmas to all of you from all of us!

Isabella, Angel and Mommy Sharla

A Kitty's Work is Never Done

Somemommy was really late finishing a handmade present for Christmas. I know it's because I wasn't allowed to help since it involved glue and other secret stuffs we can't divulge so the recipient is surprised. Anyway, yesterday I helped pick the size of the box to package it up. This one is a tad too small...

She took my advice and used a bigger box. If it wasn't for me, who knows how much longer it would've taken her to get that package in the mail! Seriously, what would she do without me?

We have two more presents to make and then we might finally be done! Are you ready for Christmas in your neck of the woods?

Happy almost Friday!

Flashback Wordless Wednesday - Santa Sadie

Santa's Helper

We had a whirlwind weekend doing last minute Christmas stuff to get in the mail today. Mommy was busy making handmade presents - some beady, some involving glue! For some reason I didn't get to help with the glue projects but I did get to help with the beady ones...

Hey, aren't these supposed to be a surprise?

I better make sure they remain a surprise so I'll just lay right here...

It's a tough job being Santa's helper but somekitty's got to do it!

What did you do this weekend?

Have a great day!

Angel

Finally Friday

We're glad this week is over! It's been filled with lots of work and lots of white...

It started snowing and getting icy on Wednesday. The only good thing about all that white is it made the birdies much easier to see...

Today we're helping Mommy get ready for Christmas. No surprise she's behind with a week to go. Some things never change. Thank Cod she has us!

Are you ready for Christmas at your house?

Have a great Friday and weekend!

Angel

Holiday Memories

Today would've been our angel sisfur Sadie's 16th birthday and although she's been at the bridge for 4.5 years, we still think of her often especially during the holidays. She loved presents and was quite the snoop...

Of course with her sweet face she was always on Santa's nice list...

These memories made us smile and we hope they made you smile too! She loved spreading smiles around!

Happy Birthday at the bridge sweet angel Sadie!

We miss you and love you always!

Tortie Tuesday

It's Tortie Tuesday and we got a break from the rain so Daddy moved me and my bed into a sunpuddle. It feels so good on my furs but the sun is in my eyes...

So he turned me around...

The sun is no longer in my eyes but now I have to listen to Mommy giggling at my shadow. *sigh*

Hope you enjoy sunpuddles this Tortie Tuesday!

Isabella

A Bevy of Boxes

I may not like delivery drivers ringing our doorbell but I do like the boxes they bring...

I enjoy them as much as I can. Well, until the box bully comes...

Box bully? Whatever chica.

Angel always wants to share when I'm somewhere first but when it's the other way around, she gets her floofy pantaloons in a bunch. She's weird.

Do you enjoy boxes? How about sharing?

Hope you have a beautiful day!

Angel and Isabella

Finally Friday

We're glad it's Friday! Our mommy and daddy are coming home from the coast today where they've been for a few days celebrating our Daddy's birthday. They're staying in a house right on the ocean front...

One halibut of a storm came through Wednesday night and the waves even splashed up on the deck...

The waves in the cove beside them sound like thunder when they hit the shore...

They enjoyed their little getaway and we enjoyed scritches from our Grandpa from Kansas so we're all thankful for a wonderful week!

What are you thankful for this week?

Hope you have a great weekend!

Weekend Wrap Up

We hope you had a great weekend! We sure did! Our Grandpa from Kansas got here and we also got a Christmas tree...

Do you need help Daddy?

Are you sure?

For some reason he didn't want my help so he said he set a cat trap to keep me out of his way. I have no idea what that means...

I love our Christmas tree but all the vacuuming, not so much. Oh well, it's worth it. I'm happy and so are Mommy and Isabella so Daddy scored lots of points for getting it for us!

Hope you're happy today too!

Angel

Finally Friday

Boy am I glad it's Friday! It's been a busy week! To make sure somemommy didn't wait until the last week of December to do all her CPE for our CPACats license, I helped her finish it this week. This entailed an 8 hour webinar on Estates and Trusts. That was riveting. In addition to that fun, I helped her get the Quickbooks ProAdvisor certification. I was still hard at work well into the evening...

Despite having my eyes closed...

It helps to concentrate on the monotonous videos content. Just saying. Anyway, she finished her CPE and she got her certification. It's a tough job being a CPACat but somekitty's got to do it!

Our Grandpa from Kansas is coming tomorrow so we may or may not be posting next week. We may be too busy being scritched!

Do you have exciting weekend plans?

Happy weekend!

PeeS: Several of our friends asked about the new neighbor cat in our Monday post. This kitty and his/her family moved in across the cul-de-sac last summer. They have a one year old sticky person and a German Shepard that live inside but for some reason this kitty is not allowed in although sometimes the garage door is left open a little for shelter. Mommy mentioned the dangers in our neighborhood to them when they were outside after a very loud cat fight between this cat and a stray cat (which of course started in OUR yard!). Dooney's mom said she'll talk to them since Dooney went to the Rainbow bridge recently because of neurological issues that the vet thinks could have come from toxins he got in his fight last June. Anyway, Mommy is staying out of it because our daddy works with that neighbor. She doesn't care if they get mad at her but she doesn't want it to interfere with Daddy's job.
