reflections in the mirror

The kids went out for a little bit to collect candy this evening. They had a good time but came home because they were cold. We then carved my sons pumpkin, I had avoided putting the pumpkin outside becuase of the kids in the area. But we were able to enjoy it this evening

last week, I came across a link to this

I find the squirrel cam interesting. I have yet to see a squirrel, but I have found all sorts of other creatures…mostly cats, of all sizes and colors, there is also a raccoon and an oppossum (nasty looking creature, it looks like a big rat).

I am happy to have an extra hour of sleep, I wish that this happened more often!

Last week, I couldnt find any of my bookmarks, so I started sketching patterns. Initially I drew them on the graph paper, but decided after spending over an hour on one, that I really needed to find a faster way to do this. I finally figured out how to do what I wanted and and I have put them on the Free Patterns page, in the Boarder Patterns section.

Now I need to take a nap, before I have to take my son to school (it is 5am).

UPDATE

OK, now that I am actually awake…This morning, I started one of my ‘bookmarks’ only to discover that I would need to have a very LARGE coffee table book, as my bookmarks are going to be a bit to large to use in a normal sized book…So, I am renaming the “Bookmark Patterns”, “Boarder Patterns. I really should wait till I am at least half awake to come up with brilliant ideas.

I have had a nagging migraine all day, at this point I am medicated enough that I can sit here without cringing at the screen. I am going to fix dinner and find a very dark, quiet room to hide in.

Laters all

It is the witching hour at our home (3am) and Socks is eyeing the door with hope that I will forget that he is not supposed to go outside. As I was sitting here, I remembered what happened this morning…

Socks made a run for the door this morning as my hubby was leaving for work, and he made it out. But this morning it was about 34F out and it didnt take long for Socks to decide that he really didnt care for the cold and rain. About 20 minutes later, my daughter heard Mr Socks calling from outside, to come in. I guess he was so unhappy that he started going window to window of our apartment. She heard him when he got to the window nearest her. She let him in, he was cold and very wet, as it was pretty much a downpour all night and morning. He was quite happy to climb up into his Loft and sleep the day away, and for most of the day he didnt even try to come to the door when it opened.

But now, my favorite feline, is sitting on the back of the couch nearest the window and watching something interesting outside, all the while meowing non-stop…I hope that he gives up and goes to sleep soon.

I am not afraid to admit it. Socks owns me. He gets almost everything he wants, has all kinds of toys and now even his own….

Castle!


He has tried almost every brand of Cat food before settling on a mixture of three, and he refuses canned food all together. And then there are the toys! He has all kinds of toys but, he doesn’t like any that move on their own or make noise. His favorates are a wand with strings on it and the Cat Dancer and of course the ones that you can’t get in any petstore, the little plastic loopy pull things from the milk container.

Aw, but look…could you refuse this face?

I can’t.

Ran across this whilst blogging…

Very Cool! I have always liked her. I recently read about her history, while reading the Middle Earth Series, a very intreging character.

Socks ‘Castle’ is almost done. I only have a little more carpeting to appy, and it will be fit for His Highness. He does look rather content up in his ‘lofty heights’. I figured it was time for ‘unveil’ his Castle.
