Ok, I know it is a little bit of a stretch, but if you look at this guy, just the right way…well, just pretend it looks like a cat.
I have been learning, for about a week now, how to knit. This is in addition to my crochet, which I definately like more than knitting. But I figured that I might as well try my hand at knitting again, as it has been years since I have tried. My neighbor has been helping me to learn and I also have a book to referance (as well as a ton of websites). In my teens, I had tried to knit, but I was never able to knit without making mistakes. Thankfully this time is going much better…except for the little mistake that I made about 3 rows ago. But as this is my practice piece, I will probably just start over.
And on other news…due to the massive amounts of spam that I have been getting lately…I have been forced to make some changes to the site. If you post a comment and it doesnt appear right away, please do not be alarmed. It will have gotten thrown into the moderation pile and I will add it onto the comments when I check the site.
First Socks lost his chair, now Sir Sock, Supreme Feline of the Family, has been ousted from his perch! By a Girl, no less.

…at least the cats think so!
Usually, Socks is the sleeping sitter, but lately Abby has decided that if the chair is empty (or if Socks is in it) she will curl up and take a nap. My little Minx is coming along so well, at times I want to just walk up to her and give her a little pet. She would run if I did though. This evening I held Abby for about 4 hours; she slept, purred, and was so happy to be in her little sleeping bag. I wish she would trust me a little more.
Yesterday, Abby was chasing Socks, I think that she forgot that I was sitting in the room, she went right under my legs a couple times! I sat so still so I wouldnt disturb her or scare her off.
Yesterday, I got little done around the house, as I was out most of the day helping a friend. I did spend some time with my neighbor, who is helping me to learn to knit…one of the things I thought I would have a difficult time learning. I am still alot better at crochet than knitting, but at least I will know how to do both. I still have two crochet projects to finish before I can think about starting yet another project. My goal is to finish one blanket this month and the other next month.
Please visit my tenants site! As it turns out, this is the second time I have rented to Grace of Life According to Princess Grace. I am excited that I am having repeat customers.
I decided (after seeing it done on other blogs) that I would have a Previous Tenants Blog Roll. It can be found on the left hand sidebar. Please feel free to visit any of those sites…You might find something interesting!
Ok, I guess that is about all for this mornings post…we will have to see what I can dredge up for a post later!

My Tenant this week is Grace of Life According to Princess Grace. I have seen her site several times while blogging and have enjoyed reading (not sure if I have commented though). Please stop by her site and say hello.
I was reading another blog (I dont know who though). This blogger said that she started a new ‘game’ seeing where the renters lead her. She would start on her own site and click on the renter on each of the sites that she was lead to. I have tried this several times and find it interesting to see who is out there. Give it a try! it is kinda fun.

To wake up before noon and go to AC Moores. I also want to go back to Micheals, as I have a gift certificate that I can use. I am thinking of getting some yarn…or a book that I would normally not buy. I am still trying to find a little plastic or glass box to put the rose from my dads funeral in. I have a large wooden box that I will be using from now on to put ’special’ things in, but If I put the rose in there without anything around it, I am afraid that it will get broken into a million little bits.
I also have to vacuum, which is always fun, as the motor on the thing is going and it is loud enough to wake the dead. Dishes are piled in the sink…I really should do that tonight. But Abby is playing and I would rather play with my kittens than do chores. What a dilemma, chores or playing with my fur-babies….not as difficult to decide as one might imagine. The kitties will get played with now and the chores can wait for sleeping kitty time later.
Abby is having a blast with her little mouse. Everytime I go to the pet store for anything I pick up 2 of the little $.99 mice. They usually disappear within hours of Abby finding them. I have discovered quite a few under my bed where she hides 
she is such a silly girl. The one that she is playing with has little beads or something in it, she is just having a blast. I really do think she is getting all the play that she should have had as a kitten, out now. It is great to see little Abby-girl so energetic, and playing without a care. (she was just watching whales on TV). Well, Socks wandered by, so now Abby has found his tail again. He is like a Daddy-lion, he lets her play with his tail, when he has had enough or she bites him, he turns and swats her, telling her that he has had enough. Abby adores Socks, though I think Socks would rather have Abby as a shadow all the time.
It is snowing here again, this time it is all lake effect snow… Which, unfortunately has brought me down a little. My Dad lived in western New York and they get alot of the lake effect snow…My dad would write to me alot about how much snow they were getting. I would always look at the map to see what was coming from his direction. Oh well…
I guess this is my cue to go to sleep, I am watching the “Most Extreme” on Animal Planet…unfortunately I have seen it about a million times (ok…maybe about 10 or so)
quiet?
Hopefully, today will be. Yesterdays snow kept the kids at home. With the snow/sleet/rain, I couldn’t even send the kids out to ‘play’. I would love to say how difficult it is when the kids are home, but in reality, my daughter gets most of the credit for entertaining her brother during the morning. She did get a break and visited with a friend in the afternoon, while I played a card game, tried to make bionicles with spare parts, watched Mulan…and other really exciting things.
I am not sure what today will hold. I was supposed to help my sons teacher yesterday and I am not sure if that is now moved to today or not. I guess I will find out in the morning. I am feeling better, so that is good.
But for now (2:15am) it is time for me to get to sleep…I cant stop yawning…

My Foster-Kitty, Blackie has been watching TV again. This time he was watching the T-rex on Animal Planet.

…not much to report. My cats and I napped. I did open the window for a bit, as it was about 61F this afternoon. Then the front came through with a few showers and alot of wind. So I guess that winter will be here soon…again.
Hopefully tomorrow will be more exciting.
Not that I am complaining…but I really would like to know when winter will actually start. The longer this nice weather hangs on, the longer into the spring, winter will go. And I really would like to have a nice spring one of these years. At midnight it is still 36F outside, and tomorrow it will by 53F in southern New England. I would really rather get winter done and overwith, instead of dragging it out.
Oh well. I am sick again. The strep throat that I was taking the anti-biotics for is back. I missed a days worth of the anti-biotics and that gave it just enough of an edge to catch on again. I will have to see how I feel tomorrow, but if my throat is still sore, I will go back to the doctor.
