It's been fairly quiet for me lately.
My Day Lillies and other flowers haven't bloomed yet, so no pictures to show.
My yards, front and back, need some attention, but this coming weekend is a 3-day weekend, so I will spend some time outside with my cat.
My cats are driving me nuts, always seeking attention when I try to get online (ok, when I get on Facebook. I'm an addict, I know it).
Kitty seems to be doing well. She's eating well, goes outside to play in the mornings and evenings, and comes back in with no trouble. She still growls and hisses at Ani, though.
Ani has been getting much, much braver. He's been coming upstairs regularly when I don't have the TV on (another of my addictions). He comes over for skritches when Kitty is outside, but Kitty doesn't let him anywhere near me when we're both there on the couch. I've been attempting to feed them both at the same time, with limited success so far. Kitty just won't have anything to do with him. Even when I put the cardboard between them. It's hard to show them both I love them when I can't pet them both at the same time. Maybe I need more toys. They've pretty much trashed their old ones. Hmmm.
The Family Reunion plans are coming along nicely. I have Dus' and my Broadway tickets, I know the plans of most of the people coming. I should really call everyone I haven't heard from recently and see how their plans are coming. Not trying to be a control freak, just want to make sure I have enough of everything (we have to provide our own towels, and probably blankets and mats for those who will be sleeping on the floor or couches).
I have new clothes, thanks to my friend who went shopping with me. I'm terrible about clothes shopping - absolutely nothing every fits right, and I don't know what is fashionable or what looks good. But my friend does. This was mostly for work clothes, so I can look more professional at work. I should have her come over and help me clean out my closet too.
Work has been pretty slow lately. This is normal for normal operations. Everything is either boredom or panic mode. In the meantime we can tweak scripts and displays and attend meetings. Another contribution is my complete lack of anything Drama Club related. It's kind of nice. I'm not sure I'll be going back. I did join an Arts and Crafts group at work, though. That's been pretty fun.
So, Facebook addict. All started when no local friends were really 'in' to The Hobbit. So I went to some message boards I knew about, and then on facebook started looking for some pages and/or people. I found so many friends. All over the world. makes it a little hard to communicate sometimes, but it's so much fun. One of them, bless her heart, is going to get me a couple autographed pictures at the con she's going to in Wellington, NZ (where she lives) next weekend. What a sweetheart! I am so thrilled about this I can't keep my socks up!
Speaking of conventions, I'm actually going to Shore Leave this year. Mostly because I want to see the swag in the dealer's rooms that have to do with The Hobbit. After I signed up I found out William Shatner was going to be there. So there's that :) I won't be getting his autograph (just to go hear him speak was an extra $20), but it will be fun to be there and see him. I might have to take my actual camera, though, since it has more adjustments than my phone. I'm pretty excited about this. I was thinking about going to DragonCon this year too, but I don't think I'll have enough vacation time left to pull that off. And it's kind of late anyway--all the good hotels are gone, and I'm really not interested in traveling on their version of the Metro dressed as a Jedi. Or a Hobbit.
