Photo Finish Friday
I thought I would join my cousin Leah in doing a Photo Finish Friday this week. A few other people have joined her in this, so check out her website, The Goat's Lunch Pail.
Evidence that the anti-smokers have expanded their nefarious plans to include other minorities! Take away one groups rights and the rest fall like dominoes. (Sign on the back door of a bar.)
Have a good weekend all ;)

All cleaned out
Got rid of the dust and the cobwebs. Did a bit of rearranging and decorating. Now lets see if I can blog somewhat regularly shall we?
I have a little video I cobbed together from the other day, I hope you all enjoy it ;)
Well, I guess I can't load videos now...so, here are the stills I took.
Sibu walking away just as I came back out with the camera.
Baby snuggled up between the foundation and a rock.
Sibu came back, then sneezed and spooked the bunny. That was, sadly, before I had the camera set to video.
Sibu kept pacing back and forth, trying to get a good view of the bunny from both sides of the tree trunk. I am sure he was a bit frustrated about being on the leash too.
Sadly, I didn't see this little guy hiding behind my plants until I had already gotten him wet - good thing I use a shower setting on my watering wand. I am sure it was cold, but it didn't hurt at least.
*****
So, is it me, or has the load video icon disappeared from blogger? and is anyone else having trouble, trying to get a new line using the enter key...mine pops back to the beginning of the line I just typed, or doesn't move at all!
That's all for now, hope you enjoyed.
Have a good day.

**Cough**
Whew, it's dusty in here! Hello? Anyone still reading?
My cousin Leah gave me this wonderful AWARD:
The four rules governing the award are simple.
1. Give it to five others.
2. Invent something about each of the five.
3. Link to them.
4. Link to the poster that gave it to you.
Now then, who to give it to...I am so out of touch. How about:
Janet @ Fond of Snape, she is going to marry Capitan Jack!
Dianne @ Forks off the Moment, because she is going to be the next President of the United States and clean it up!
Karen @ Kcinnova, she is going to be singing the lead in "Carmen" at the local opera house.
Jay @ Cynical Bastard, he is going to be Dianne's running mate and help strippers get the recognition they deserve.
Scott @ Zodi's blog will be taking over Spain and allowing us all to visit without the need of passports or visas etc.
Well, there we have it. I will be back in a few days with a post, really, I will!
Have a good day all ;)

Observations & Ruminations
I was thinking last night about cats. Mine in particular and some others I have known in general. I came to the conclusion, that the 9 lives cats have are separate reincarnated lives.
I think Sibu is going through his first life. He is adjusting to better hearing, sight and smell than his previous incarnation and that is what makes him such a scaredy cat. He would also be adjusting to seeing things from a different perspective, especially if he was human previously.
He tried to give me CPR the other morning when I wouldn't move. He came and blew into my nose a couple of times, then jumped onto my chest then came and blew into my nose again, at which time I started to laugh, so he sneezed in my face as a reward. I have no idea how he figured out how to blow so hard out his nose, but, it seemed so much like CPR, I figured I had to get up even if I didn't want to.
I suppose this is where the idea about the 9 lives started percolating, it has just taken this long to formulate.
Of other cats I've known:
Shadow will fall into the 4th or 5th life I think. He was not skittery at all, but rather quite sly sometimes. He would put up with Sibu dominating him even though he was the larger cat. (Brother's cat)
Xerxes, used to come and sing with me in the mornings and was still cuddler so I would put him at his 2nd or 3rd life. (Friend's cat)
Kalon must be getting on to 7th or 8th, he is one of those seen it all, done it all cats. He will curl up next to you or on your lap, but only on his terms. If you pet him for more than a couple of strokes, he will either bite you, or leave. (Friend's cat)
Patches was our childhood cat, so I can't really say. I would think he was 2nd or 3rd life, very calm, very cuddly. He used to come and suck on the sleeves of our pj's and knead the bedding on either side of our arms in the mornings. Of course this entailed lying on our forearms, so you would wake up to purring and a wet elbow with your hand and forearm asleep. He'd start with sis and when she got up, move on to me.
Now, I have never really believed in the reincarnation theory. People tell me I am an old soul, if that is the case, maybe my next life I will be a cat. Will that be a cat for the first time? Or because I am already an old soul, will I fall into the 9th life of a cat? Are the 9 lives of a cat consecutive?
For the answers to these and other pressing questions tune in - in your next life ;)

WWC - made it on time!
The words for this week are Phone & Keys.
I figure they are pretty obvious ;)
If you want to see more submissions, have a look on my side bar. The Weekly Words Challenge is brought to us by Janet from Fond of Snape.
Have a good day all.

Oh my!
What a week! All 7 days of it! I worked for the boss, plus my shifts. Normally that is not a hard thing to do, but I haven't gone to the Dr. yet about getting this exhaustion thing figured out. So, that is why I have not even been commenting this week - I will remedy that over the next few days.
In the meantime, I have missed a few of the Weekly Words Challenges, so here they are.

Weather & Mail
This was from my phone over the summer a little blurry, but I love the hole in the clouds.
Weather here has been warm, this branch has been catching the drips from the roof I guess.
This is my view from the office - mail boxes.
We have these by each of the mailboxes as people tend to forget to forward their mail.
Animal & Mineral
Alberta beef (sorry vegetarians)
Salt, on a blue plate under a blue light. (I was playing)
I think I am ready now to do Phone & Keys on Tuesday, which would have me caught up ;)
For more WWC check out my sidebar, Janet from Fond of Snape is the current hostess and is doing a grand job.
Have a good weekend.
