Let's get my votes rolling in. I have no shame. I'm begging here.


**You need not be my friend or acquaintance to enter... just live in my landlocked Country...

New York, Really. I took the pics.

Vote Please...

I am in a contest....

I had to be creative.

I had to set a mood.


Here's a copy of the email I sent to Mom... Fishing for Maternal pride and recognition.... You know me.

Hi MOM!!!!
Check out what I made (I think you'll hang it on the fridge)
I used pictures we took in NYC~layered them together~ titled it
MY NYC ABC's ~ entered a contest to win a trip BACK to NYC, so I can:
Hang with a flamboyant designer for a day (an unrealized dream of mine)
Win a new cell phone (mine is broken~can't tell who's callin')
AND
Walk the streets of the big apple in the summertime...
(i love walking; I love apples; I love summertime~ overall it's an ideal situation to be in!)

Do you like it? You need to look close... it's kinda like Where's Waldo. The Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, fruit from a street vendor, Grand Central Station and the damaged sculpture from the Trade Center are layered in the overall pic. (plus some horse's and copper's patooties)
I don't think I did half bad for an uneducated house-mom.
xx, k

Oh was that redundant?

Real Advice

good idea: Whiten white unders w/ bleach
bad idea: Whitening white of eye w/ bleach
even if it was with a splash... just a splash.

Clarifying: Spin cycle on the washer spooked the 3 toothed cat. He bolted like a CAT out of hell, knocked into the bleach bottle~ it fell from the shelf to the floor, burst open.
Result: VERY clean laundry room floor. House smells like a pool - a touch of summer in March for free. New tie dyed job on Hoodie and back of jeans. One eye burned, red and, I think it's safe to say, clean.

Fur Real

We're getting a new mouser on Sat.

This is Stolli.

He has teeth!

And he is only 2 years old.

(He won't need a walker!)

Let's all say Adieu to

Manfred.

(We did not name him. I wanted to call him 'Dentures')

He was a Foster Feline and a terrible pain.

High maintenance and high strung.

Really Colorful

Artiste Extraordinaire.... Miss Kate.


She wanted this posted.
Feels fantastically famous if it's on the "puter"
Not bad for a 4 year old. She definitely colors better than her older brothers!

Really low Goals.

Lowered Bar Achievements:

I showered.

I am dressed to my shoes.

Teeth brushed.

All 3 kids at school.

Geriatric feline is out from behind the dryer. *He's on a shelf.

(Never contemplated decorating with live decor. It works.)

Today is turning out to be pretty fantastic.

I make attainable goals and

check

them off one by one.

How's your progress going?

Really? Dogs? me?

Oh crap. I want a yorkie. Wil is freaking out on me.

No Dogs.

I emailed a lady.

I hope she writes back soon.

A cat yesterday. (with only 3 teeth and practically on it's death bed.) 2 puppies today.

Tammy, I'm catching up! We'll be charging admission to our petting zoo.

Only 3 teeth? Really?

I'm a foster parent. We were going to do the full out adoption but thought it best to do a trial run before we add a permanent addition to the fam.

I am a cat person. This is my fav of fav's in the kitty colony.

A Russian Blue.

My first Russian Blue was adopted in Arizona. His name was Rasputin, (I know. I am so clever!) He was part of our fam for 6 years.... got sick 2 weeks before Luke was born and passed away.

Wil decided it was time to get me a new one. (Petting a cat is terribly therapeutic for my anxious behavior.)

While searching the web and local shelters, we came across Manfred. ~ Terrible name, but that can be changed. They told me they didn't have all of his particulars in the computer, but thought he was just over a year old. He can be adopted for $50. Perfect.

This is where I lower my proverbial bar...

He is 9 years old. 9!!!!

And he has 3 teeth. 3?!?!?!? Only 3?!?!?!

AND, because of his age, (probably won't be with us for long...) I can adopt him for $25. Ummmmm, we'll foster. It's FREE.

Let's see how he meshes with the fam... he's hiding behind the dryer. He will come out but ONLY for me. Does not want to play with the Entourage... he's sweet but terribly skittish.

Kids want to play; He can't chew food.

Looks like I'm running the Beehive Home for felines.

Hansen's Hospice for Geriatric Critters.
