A Life of Crime and Chocolate

I'm back, it was a great day to see family.

I had one too Mr. Mitchell.
My family do a family meal on the last Sunday of every month, which was today.
It was nice seeing everyone, especially because we dont know when we'll get to the next one. I wont be going when Blake's immunity is low.

I was meant to be going on a family outing yesterday to Aberdeen, but I called off sick and stayed at home with my kitties, the only family whom I actually like.

Silver, good luck with finals!

Hope everyone enjoyed their family time. My oldest is ten today. She had five friends stay the night. These are the lessons I've learned.

1. Ten-year-old girls think it's crazy fun to go 24 hours without sleep.
2. The closest living relative to the ten-year-old girl is the wolverine.
3. To a ten-year-old girl, the 70s are the "olden days."
4. Ten-year-old girls belch more than grown men.

I'm sure I will learn lots more before everyone is picked up in an hour or so. Funny how I've only learned these things when surrounded by a pack of them.

Thanks, tarak. Hopefully, I'll do well. But I'm still worried about them.

Afternoon all, hope everyone is having a nice weekend. So far today I had a lie-in, played some video games, and made chilli for tonight's dinner. Now about to do some writing.

I seriously hate Mondays.

Nice to read of everyone having such lovely family gatherings! And Zelenka...there are more times than I care to count when a day with my kitties has been the only thing I really wanted. I'm glad you got to enjoy your day.

Mine is 8 - not quite yet at wolverine stage, but she's getting pretty good with the belching. She seems to treat it as an important skill to perfect - they apparently practice with each other at school. My grandmother would be horrified.

Silver, I always hated exams, even when I knew I was going to do well on them. I'm sure you'll do fine, and then they will be DONE.

Today I discovered that I share my name with someone's SF character. Which for some reason tickles me to no end.

It has been a nice Sunday. Other than a quick trip to the supermarket for supplies, it's been a day of watching TV and even getting a few words down on a project!

Kitties have been watching TV as well and have actually been very quiet today. Usually they fight over the turquoise cushion at the end of the sofa but TV brought them together!

My babies: (Hopefully this won't be too big)

Oh, Zelenka, they are gorgeous! And they know it, I'm sure.

@Liz: Thanks. Again, I'm just really hoping I do well.

Zelenka they are both very beautiful. So jealous.

Beautiful, Zelenka! I'd be lost without our cat. She's always there for me no matter what (as long as I bring food ).

Liz - that is soooo cool... I am totally jealous.

Aww...beautiful kitties.

Zelenka - your kitties are adorable, very majestic looking, with their thick fluffy fur and bright attentive eyes.

Zelenka, what beautiful cats! We have four (don't ask -- it's too complicated to explain why), including one black cat who will be 19 next month. The second oldest is a crazed calico, the smallest of the set, who tyrannizes all the others.

We did not do much this weekend except visit a local wine festival. (Blech, too many people!) And no writing at all, no words. Big fat pink 0.

But it all works out in the end. Cheers to you!

I am with you, OSG, on hating Mondays.

Sometimes I think Mondays (and, by extension, work) exist to keep us humble. Otherwise, our egos would get so inflated that our heads would explode.

Your cats are adorable/beautiful.

Today was our first level checking blood test. It's to check how much of the drug we're experiemtning with is in Blake's system a certain number of hours after we've given the dose.
His dang PICC line was playing up AGAIN and made what should have been less than five minutes, turn into over an hour. GAH Hopefully this part shouldnt last too much longer.
I'm tired and all I want to do is sit down nad read the book I'm really enjoying (Devine By Mistake by P.C. Cast), unfortunatelly I have to fed the kids and do all the other things that come with being a parent.

Being an adult is SO overrated.

Gorgeous kitties, Zelenka.

Crazed calico's rule. Trust me on this.



Even though I'm owned by a Siamese.

Hah!

Found you all over here! I am such an incompetent forum user. Not to mention that chocolate is something I usually try to avoid.

Beatiful kitties, Z.

Vagoughs - beautiful kitty!

French - hugs to you and Blake

Thanks for the compliments on the kitties. I won't pass them on though as those two have big enough egos as it is!

Here's a story from my parents' local paper to brighten a Monday:
