HAPPY HALLOWEEN

This is one of my favorite holidays of the year because of all the imagination that is allowed to run amok. Today I woke up with absolutely grotesque hair and so I decided to let that lead me into a fashion statement of the day. And voila - a witch was created! (Some might start that noun with a 'b'.) I have my hog gut earrings on and even a skirt. Very fetching. Maybe more later....

Incredible new cat toy!

See these happy cats? See them have fun in their new toy?

Don't you want one for your cat too?

Soon you will be able to get one from me right here on this blog.
Squeenjor's Cat Paper! or something - I haven't thought up a name yet. My cats love to play in this huge pile of clean paper. And it's so attractive in my living room! They hide in it, charge through it, hunt in it and in general love it. For a really entertaining evening you can sprinkle catnip on it. Comes in a cute little roll. You just unwind it, pile it up and watch the fun.

I'm really serious about this!

Ideas for names for this product will be gladly accepted. Patent Pending, etc. Copyrighted, etc.

This is Clive (not his real name) Sam and Aaron's new kitty.

Man, am I beat - my eyeball is even twitching.

I just did an activity presentation tonight (for my LAST ESL class at STESL (Seattle U)) and I was a nervous wreck! Go figure. I have taught ESL classes for 2 years in the community, I teach piano, and I have homeschooled my kids but I was really wigged out. Must be the Prozac. I'm trying it again after 8 years of trying other stuff and I was so buzzed and unfocused this week it was hard to concentrate. So today I added a half a tranq to the mix. Time to lower the Prozac dose by half I'll tell ya.

I guess I did okay but not the relaxed, easy going teaching feeling that I like to have. Ah Well.... but it is done and there's definitely something to be said for that.

Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Now on to the next project. I'll be done on November 12th at which time I will be Certified. (not certifiable) Party time people!!!!

And fall returns...

It's been awhile...I am taking my last ESL class at S-TESL at Seattle U and man does it take up my time. I be's a studyin' fool! Plus everything else has started for fall - piano teaching and ESL volunteer teaching. It's the lesson planning and prep time that really get me. I haven't hardly touched an art supply in 3 weeks! My hands feel all weak and trembly and I list towards my studio area whenever I walk through the living room. Feels terrible but there is an end in sight....the middle of November.

This Sunday I get a much needed break with a whole day of quilting and creating at Carol's. My sanity shall return for a few hours. What I need is a longer day or a larger brain? More hands? Maybe a "new lease on life " by using Poxema? or Ajax Chicken Cleanser? "Oh, and you have something new too...a new shell" and remember "Hammy, father wishes to speak with you!"
