To the Zoo!

I’m going to the zoo today. 🙂 To be honest, I really don’t know what zoo it is we’re going to, exactly. But I’m going with Nathan (my boyfriend), and so I won’t have to hobble around on crutches all day, he actually got me a wheelchair. From his grandma, apparently. That was nice. 🙂

So yeah, I’m pretty excited about that. I get to see animals! 😀

Happy (very belated) Moreshkentorman!

Moreshkentorman is a holiday that happens to share the same date as St. Patrick’s Day (March 17). It is in celebration of the day the lobsters gained their independence from the crabs. My best friend made it up – I mean, discovered it. For all the details, you can visit this site. (Don’t mind the countdown though, we never update the site anymore.)

Well, on Sunday afternoon (March 20), my best friend and I made a lobster cake in celebration! No, it wasn’t made of lobsters, but it looked like one (at least it was supposed to). Here’s a picture!

It’s red inside and out, being a red velvet cake with red frosting, and its eyes and mouth are made of green sprinkles, and pink candles serve as its antennae. It’s a layer cake too, with chocolate icing in between the two layers. We shaped it like a lobster by making a lobster-shaped cardboard cutout and then cutting the cake around it. Isn’t it beautiful? 🙂

Back Upstairs

You may recall from one of my previous posts (this one) that because of foot surgery, I was stuck downstairs in the living room all day and night, so I wouldn’t have to go up and down the stairs to access my bedroom. Well, last night we relocated my mattress – back to the upstairs!

Now I get to sleep up there, but spend the rest of my day downstairs. My dad says if I get more comfortable using the stairs, I might get to move everything back up there (computer, books, etc.).

It’s nice to be back up there. 🙂 Now Fuzz can’t wake me up, mwahahaha.

Fuzz: The Family Alarm Clock

We have a pet cat named Fuzz. She’s 17 years old and still kicking.

She’s our family’s alarm clock – or at least she thinks she is. Almost every morning, once the sun starts appearing over the horizon, the meows and howls start coming. She sits in the living room and whines, I guess to wake us up.

Today, in particular, she took on the role of waker-upper. She did her usual routine of meowing loudly for everyone to hear, but since it was the weekend, everyone wanted to sleep in. I’m sleeping in the living room on my mattress because of the foot surgery (my bedroom is upstairs), so eventually I just decided I’d humor her by opening my eyes and giving her a little attention. And, that worked for a couple hours.

Then later, after everyone was already up except for me, Fuzz decided she’d “help me out” by meowing loudly in my ear to get me to wake up. *sigh* Fuzz, I really do appreciate that you’re trying to help, but acting as an alarm clock is not help.

Back at the Bakery (Special Appearance by Kittens!)

Well, I’m back at the St. Peter’s Bakery. This time it’s because my dad is playing here, and of course many of his songs are Beatles, so that’s always a treat. My mom, my sister, and I all came to have dinner and see him play. We got pizza. 🙂 I had 4 slices and a huge cup of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. Needless to say, I’m stuffed.

Of course, now my sister and I are both hanging out on our laptops, and my mom is knitting. Isn’t this fascinating stuff?

And now for your amusement, some funny pictures of kittens.

Move Over, Destiny’s Child! The Kittens Are Taking Over!

I found this video a while ago. It’s a bunch of kittens singing “Independent Women” by Destiny’s Child. Personally, I think the cats did a better job. 😀

WARNING for those who won’t be able to figure it out: It starts itself over. 😉

Two Different Stories

My dad returned home from my school after chatting with my social studies teacher. He told me the story at the dinner table from when he walked into the office up until he walked into my teacher’s room.

First was the office. There, what a coincedence, 😉 he ran into my science teacher, who recognized him from when he came in for “walk-in-my-shoes day” and gave him instructions on how to get to my social studies teacher’s room.

When my dad passed by the classroom of my math teacher, my social studies teacher came out of it, although my dad didn’t know since he’d never seen her before. When he said hello, my teacher asked if he was my father. Soon, they both came to realize who each other were and settled down in the social studies classroom.

Their conversation first started out concerning the heat of the room. ? After that, they got back on track. 😉

I can’t remember when or how, but somewhere in the conversation at the dinner table, my dad managed to sqeak in, “Speaking of which…” Then he got off on a little story about one of the house cats, Fuzz, and all her weirdness. It turned out that my father had left his socks on the floor. Wow. Isn’t that fascinating?

Well, anyway, Fuzz started rolling around in them like crazy for five whole minutes. As my mom said, he must have really good-smelling feet! That may not seem strange, but Melody, the other cat, often does that. It was unusual because Fuzz did it. She rarely behaves that way, and she even had her belly fully exposed. WOW. 😀

Doggies’ Minds

I found some pictures of dogs on the internet and came up with some things they might be thinking…

Back off, bucko, before I rip you to shreds.

Big dog: Awe, come on. I wanna take him home!
Small dog: Oh, boy.

Yes, Mom?

I’ll prove to them I can do this!

Uh, could you repeat the question?

Mm-hmm-hmm-mmm-mm-mm!

Honey? Is that you?

I’ll miss you, Lynnette!

Get outta here! He’s mine!

Just thought you’d find them entertaining to check out. 😉
