Fun with Photoshop

This is my brother's cat, Oscar, all done-up in watercolors. I was playing around with Photoshop yesterday, and "digitized" some cats. I can't quite get people to turn out right though - I think because people just look boring. Click on Oscar to see him full-sized... the smaller picture doesn't quite do him justice.

I also talked with my Realtor yesterday, who said that installing Air Conditioning may ...   More

… we’re still here.

Niko & Puck

Niko and Puck, just waking up.

Unfortunately, we haven't had a house showing in two weeks now... this is getting a bit frustrating, and we'd like to move before this winter.

We've changed our criteria a bit. After looking at houses we can afford on 5 acres and seeing the shape they are in (one said "DO NOT ENTER FOR YOUR HEALTH. HAZARDOUS MOLD."), we decided to look for ...   More

But the price is not bad, and we might just ...   More

… waiting for a pair of shoes

Chris was so very nice last week and ordered me a pair of these:

Earth Shoes

Lazer Earth Shoes, in Bayleaf. I've never bought a pair of shoes online before, but Chris enjoys it. It's kind of a gamble, I guess... hopefully I know my shoe size well enough that these will fit. They're coming tomorrow - how exciting!   More

Kallie’s New Hiding Spot

Kallie in the window

At least this is a spot in the house that I expect she can get to. Once I found her in the wall, behind the air return grille. Another time we were watching television and the rest of the animals informed us that Kallie was in the ceiling. Sigh.

We had three house showings on Tuesday. The first and third were the same couple - they ...   More
