Pi-rate

It’s her favourite chair. It’s near the end of the bed in our bedroom, and whenever D hasn’t thrown his jeans in it she’s playing in it. She and it have a stormy relationship, some days she’s snoozing in it and other days she’s attacking it violently over and over. Nobody knows how a cat and a chair developed a love hate relationship, but who are we to judge? Here she is, worn out after another battle with the chair (and after I’d straightened up the flag and blankie yet again).

Cutie Pi

She’s fuzzy, she’s cute. She’s the b-day kitty, Pi! No clue of when her real b-day is, so when the vet told us a few months ago she was between 7 and 9 months old we decided that March 14th was a good b-day for a kitten named Pi. The pics suck, and that’s my fault. Some absent minded girl left the digital camera outside the day before yesterday, and it rained yesterday all day. D took the camera apart, and it’s working now (after some hysterical sobbing from me about how I was awful and ruined his things and how my blogging career was ended). These pics were taken with my cel phone.

 

What better way to celebrate her day then with a salmon patty cake? The frosting is low fat cream cheese and no fat yogurt (to avoid upsetting her tummy with the fatty dairy) with a little pink food colouring. The candle was lit while we sang to her and she purred, then we took the candle out and gave her the cake.

Pi, She Who Terrorizes Me

Ain’t she an intimidating ball of fluff? She’s wanting to gnaw on me right now.

Where Should We Move?

Now y’all, your help would be a good thing. In about a year and a half, D and me will be moving out of Florida. After a lot of research, we’re down to a handful of states that we like the sound of. Rural is what we want, somewhere we can have a little farm and a few animals to support us, and somewhere that he can commute into work (he doesn’t mind driving at all). Self sufficiency is a big thing for us, and we want somewhere with nice land and a low cost of living, preferably small town.

If y’all had to pick one of these states for us, which would it be and why?

North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky, Montana, or Wyoming

Bad Pun Alert

D is surrounded at all times by a lemon tartlet, and a Pi. Which means, he really got his just desserts.

*runs*

Isn’t She Sweet?

Viscious little cuss, and HE taught her to do it! Which is why that’s his hand, and why at this rate we’ll be buying stock in rubbing alcohol.

The Man Can Write, Ooo Baby!

The D, the aforementioned beloved man writes He writes amazingly well, and I’m not saying this because he rocks my world. Go read some of this stuff, as long as you aren’t too squeamish and can handle creepiness in your stories. They give me nightmares, but y’all ain’t wusses like me. Don’t say I didn’t warn you! (Now go read)

T’was The Week Before Christmas…

The visit was really fun! There was much gift giving, snacking, and nothing I cooked went south. The house looked beautiful, the mom raved about it, and all in all it was a really good time. The whole time it seemed like we were either eating or laughing, and that’s how it should be.

It’s time to get to work on the new gift bags now, and I won’t say that I’m not looking forward to it. Been learning so much getting these done, and that’s more valuable than any other gift I could get. This idea of making a business may work yet, if people like what I do.                           

The holidays and the tart

Haven’t written in forever, but I’m gonna try to make this an account of things as they happen. Thanksgiving went pretty well, it was very pleasent and the breadcameout perfect. The only thng I wasn’t happy with was the reen bean casserole, and that didn’t taste as good because I used the low sodium cream of mushroom soup. Usually that’s fine, but for a special occassion I’ll use the normal one. Now it’s officially the Christmas season, and I’ve volunteered to make hand made gift bags for everybody to try to save some money. The first two were supposed to have a week and a half to make, but the date was wrong and I had two and half days to make them. The result wasn’t what I was hoping for, but I did pretty well considering. This is what I put in there.

 

In fact, this time I’m gonna try to take pics of everything as I go along, cleaning, sewing, all of the cooking.  Mom and G-Ma are coming this weekend, so it’s gonna be a scramble to get everything done. The house isn’t in good shape right now, it really got messed up when I had to do everything last week.

The new addition

The biggest thing this week can be introduced best with a picture. Her name is Pi, and we found her out in the driveway, half starved and defending a few crumbs from a dog. There are no words to describe how adorable she is, how much we needed her.
