Am I Becoming A Cat?!

 (Custom Made To Order Cat Portrait Pendant Necklace  by JasminBlancBoutique)

      I'm feeling more and more like a cat! ^_^ All I wanna do is sleep...wake up and purr a little...look out the window...sleep...eat a little something...and get a little backrub and cuddle every now and then! :-)

      Considering that I don't have a cat to show me how to do all of this, I just have to do it according to 'me'! :-)) As if any cat could tell me how to take a good nap anyway!! LOL Napping is my life!! ^_^

      There isn't much for me to tell you about otherwise. No new news has rolled in. I'm still waiting for the doctor to get all of the bloodwork results. And a check on my 'hot spots, the ones on my legs, is due today....And I haven't crocheted anything in ages! And have no desire to right now. But I'm sure that will change as I start to feel better.

      I'd love to know what's going on with you! :-) Anybody made any new creative items?!...Any new paintings...jewelry...knit projects?...beaded ware?! :-) All of my creative projects are rolling around in my head, but staying awake long enough to do them is proving to be a problem!...And when I am awake, it takes all of my energy to stretch and scratch! LOL

      No matter what is going on with me though, I always have something positive to talk about as well! I may start sharing them with you on each post...if I remember! ^_^ For today, here are five positive things for today:

1. I only woke up once during the night last night. YAY!!! Considering that during the previous night I was up and down like a busy New York high-rise elevator, it was a joy to see the clock only twice during the night!! :-)

2. Even though I'm still having that feeling of 'something is not right'...I am acutely aware that all is right with my life, if not with my body! :-)

3. My appetite is returning!!...I had turkey pot pie today for lunch!...a whole bowl!! :-) And I even had a little orange sherbet ice cream afterward!...Some friends brought us a gift of Chinese food for dinner! YUM! I'm looking forward to that too!!...And so is hubby! He gets a reprieve from having to cook! LOL

4. I'm having the most encouraging conversations with my friends. Deep, sincere, and full of love and care for me...as I feel for them as well! ♥♥♥ Even my father is calling more often than our once or twice a week visit!

5. Hubby made himself stop all of his household doings...and he took a long nap with me this afternoon, while we listened to Andy Mayberry and Bonanza in the background. ^_^ Oh yeah, POSITIVE things are still making me smile every day!! ♥

      I hope you all find some positive, smile-worthy things today too!! :-) Enjoy your Tuesday!! ♥

I Think I Need To...

I think I need to change things up,
flip the script, change direction;
I don't want to lose my love
for that which I have so much affection?

I think I need some brand new eyes,
to see things a different way.
Because the way that I've been seeing
really isn't gonna pay.

I think, because it's me, I need
some creative inspiration.
Some sketches, markers, ball point pens,
and some Disney animation.

I think that this may take some time.
It seems a lot for me to do.
So, maybe I should change my mind.
I'll let you know and get back to you!

Okay.....So It's Not QUITE A Zoo Out There!

(Table Decorations by 62Cards)

       Yesterday I mentioned to you that there was a lot of enjoyment of my backyard going on. Today I'll show you what I mean...But don't get thrown off by the zoo menagerie of table decorations above...even though a backyard full of those cuties wouldn't be bad!...No, I don''t 'QUITE' have a zoo in the backyard....YET! ^_^

       There was enough going on out there to make 'Baby Wuglyee' curious though! :-) You know how much 'Baby Wuglyee' loves sharing me with other objects of my attention! ^_^ Remember the whole conversation we had--> HERE?! 

      Even 'Baby Wuglyee' would approve of these guys enjoying the backyard though...

       Can you see him?!......Let me give you another angle...

      It's a squirrel...Well, I should say 'THEY' were squirrels! Hubby couldn't get a lot of good pictures of them. They move fast!!

      But we had a whole yard of them! It was as if somebody had put up a "Sale, Aisle 9!" sign! ^_^ I'm used to robins, hummingbirds, an occasonal cardinal or a blue jay. Even a skunk every once in a while. But a whole yard full of scurrying squirrels?!.....Unusual for my backyard!

       I hope this doesn't mean they know something we don't know, and that winter is coming sooner than we think!! O_O Rather than them hiding nuts for the winter, I'm gonna choose to think that maybe they were just so happy with the Fall weather, and my backyard, that they decided to go on a playful scavenger hunt just to see what they could find! ^_^

      And, of course, no scavenger hunt is any fun alone. So they enlisted a few 'play' buddies! LOL Even the neighbor cat was enlisted....

     ...but he didn't play along for long.....Cats have their own agenda. And usually it doesn't include playing well in groups! ^_^ But, thankfully, whatever the cat found he kept it to himself!
       I remember one day...a few years ago...when my friends and I were going door-to-door to talk to the neighbors about the Bible...we came across this house with a yard FULL of dead mice!! A yard full!!!....Ewwwwwwwwww!

      The lady of the house was very matter-of-fact about it. She said her cat loved her so much that he was always bringing her dead mice. O_0 ...Now that's love, huh?! But considering the amount of mice in the yard, we wondered what she was serving for dinner, or what kind of cat bed this neighborhood wandering cat was laying in at night that made him so in love with her that he would fill up the yard with them!!! 

      I should talk though. I do have a childhood memory of our cat dragging a big dead snake in the window!! LOL I don't remember what happened after that.......I think I blacked out! ^_^

      Okay...enough silliness!...'Baby Wuglyee' got his hat and scarf washed this weekend and he wants to go somewhere! :-)

       I may have to take him for a little spin...

      ...or I'll get hubby to! They've been 'best buds' lately. :-]

       I've got other things on my agenda...just like the cat. :-) I've got a talk to write, some studying to do, some reading, a nap.....of course! ^_^...and maybe, if there's still some daylight, I can do a little more crocheting on the new white scarf I started yesterday...

    It's just some leftover yarn I had laying around. And because of the bulkiness of it I haven't done anything with it. But I'm gonna make this scarf...if I have enough white to finish it! White scarves are not something that everybody crochets! So...leave it to me! :-)) There must be some winter brides out there somewhere! :-)

      ...Or maybe I'll just start another knitted hat. Yes, I said knitted. O_0 My other one I had in the shop...

      ...SOLD!! :-) And while I'm not that thrilled about doing another knitting project, this hat pattern wasn't hard at all. So I might actually enjoy it!...*gulp!*

       What are your plans today?! :-) {Don't forget to put entering my Giveaway for the lacy oatmeal colored afghan blanket on your list! :-) Click the picture of it in the right hand side bar for details.}

All My Plans Unfurled

With all my plans unfurled today,
and nothing urgent pressing me,
I might crochet another scarf
or have a steeping cup of tea.

I might watch an old movie,
or take a nap, just for a minute.
Or I might take out a book to read,
or jot a few nice words down in it.

When you don't have any children,
and no job to do from home.
You can stay in your pajamas,
and have hair you don't have to comb.

Yes, with all my plans unfurled,
there could be lots that I could do.
It's always true...I could be busy,
but kinda nice I don't 'have to'!
