This blog is picture heavy!
I haven't actually done all of these things super recently, but I've been lazy about posting about them.
This blog contains:
#5 - BFF Global
#9 - Get a kitty
# 13 - Walk again
#35 - Solstice Party
#43 - Organize my recipes
#44 - Grow a garden
#5 - bracelet making and I have been on a hiatus. I apologize deeply to anyone who's requested a bracelet and hasn't received one...and I promise to start making them again soon. I've just been busy with the moving, and the unpacking, and the walking again. I'll get to it - I swear!
#9 - I DID IT! I have a kitten now. In my house, trying to attack my back as I sit on the couch and type this...I'm so glad his claws don't draw blood yet...
His name is Cedric. He's a small, cute, furry fartbag who attacks everything in sight, meows at me constantly, and follows me around. My lap is his favourite place to be, and that suits me just fine.
Being cute.
Cleaning himself on my knees. His second favourite spot. Especially when I'm not wearing pants. My legs almost look 'artistic' with all the skin scratches I have.
Not only does he have a foot fetish, but my shoes are pretty tasty, too.
Eating food, not shoes. Yes, you can see books in this picture.
Sleeping on my bed.
Sleeping on the couch. He sleeps on me lots too...like right now, but it's too hard to take photos of. It's cute though, I promise. ...and makes it hard to type.
#13 - I'm almost there! No more crutches, just a cane now, and I almost don't need that anymore. I'll consider 13 done when I can walk without the need for a cane at all. I can walk without it for very, very short distances (ie: my house) but I still need it for farther distances. So close!
#35 - I totally blew the solstice party. I TRIED TO PLAN ONE, and only Thomas wanted to even come. Well...that's being unfair. Some friends had to work, but the rest of them were being douchebags. So, Thomas and I hung out, baked cookies at my house, BBQ'd at his house, and went to the Fraser Downs Horsetrack and Casino. I'd never been in a casino before, and the racetrack was fun, even if we lost our $2 we bet. The total damage after I was introduced to the slot machines:
Thomas: +$9
Katee: -$12
...and then we went home. So I guess I can't really count it, since it wasn't a real solstice party. I celebrated by myself at the exact celestial time of the solstice that night...but by definition, it doesn't count.
#43 - I did it! ...sorta. Here's two sample pages:
My corns, and the bed the carrot were planted in.
A better view, and a little random flower plant I planted in the corner, for loss of what to do with it.
Forget-me-nots.
Green leafy things hiding in the upper left corner - hosta that I salvaged. Empty pot has carrot seeds, pot next to that is wormwood, and the urn has spanish lavender and roman chamomile.
regular lavender, and it's one tiny little flower bud.
Little white flowers are alyssum, there are ice plants in there somewhere, and I've no idea what the rest of it is.
DO YOU SEE IT? Cayenne peppers! ^_^
Random caterpillar.
Flower, flower, flower, and parsley.
Peas.
Mmm...basil. There is lots more where this came from.
See? Told ya. I have even more than that, though.
...this is the last of the basil. Look at how big this has gotten though! When I got it, I thought it was gonna die. Oregano is the funny vine thing, and the shrub is thyme.
Roses. (I'm almost done, I swear)
Feverfew.
Oriental poppies.
'Cukes and peas. (the peas are in there somewhere, I swear)
TOH-MAE-TOH!

TOH-MAH-TOH!

#44 - my garden has been all set up for a few weeks now. We just planted carrots on the weekend, and that's the last of the garden for the summer. Now for some garden porn:

...that's essentially it. I have a few more flowers, but flowers are boring, and I've been uploading photos for AGES! How people with photo blogs do this is beyond me...
OVER AND OUT!
OVER AND OUT!
lol@ garden porn! Hot stuff! :p I admire you for starting a garden because they take time and patience to keep. And super cute cat pics! Kittens are so cute, always pouncing on things and such.

ReplyDeleteI just talked to the person coordinating the Omenako project and he said that because of the shipping costs, it would be better if you send the books to me and then I can ship them to Ghana all at once when the time comes. Is that alright? Again, thanks so much for your help!
ReplyDeleteThat is the most adorable kitten! Good on you for starting to organize your recipes! Something I desperately need to do! Love your garden porn, lol!
ReplyDelete(and do new "internet" friends count?)
Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteAnd sure, internet friends can count :)
