obligatory tessa in a box

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

 

There’s a thick layer of foam padding on the bottom of the box. I hope she doesn’t expect that to be a standard cardboard box feature from now on.

  • It is the first day of Spring!
  • It is snowing.
  • Seriously.

  • It is also Bucket’s birthday!

  • Bucket is 8 years old today.
  • She has no comment on her birthday snow.
  • She also has the same birthday as Bach, Gary Oldman, and Twitter.
  • We (not including Bucket) spent yesterday in South Boston for the St. Patrick’s Day parade.
  • That was festive & cold but at least the sun was out.
  • It’s snowing.
  • Tessa’s yelling in the window, I’m not sure if the yelling is directed at me or at the snow.
  • True confession: the snow is actually rather pretty.
  • The write-up of last week’s adventure is coming, likely tomorrow, but for today I am going to curl up with a cup of tea and watch the snow while singing birthday songs to Bucket.
  • Happy Spring!(?)

also, since that last post was kind of heavy, here’s a photo of tessa in a basket that is too small for her

in lieu of content, kittens

I was going to write up a list of things that were making me happy despite the impending snow, like Downton Abbey and Dashiell Hammett novels.

But then I cut my hand in a feat of particularly impressive clumsiness, making it rather difficult to type.

So here are some recent photos of the kittens. I’m going to go hide until the Year of the Rabbit gets here.

We have snow. Again. Lots of it.

I went to take some photos out the back door and Bucket got curious.

She’s usually not the curious cat type, so I was impressed that she actually took two whole steps before retreating back inside.

More snow photos over on Flickr.

I am slightly less congested, and Tessa has a new box.

boring, with computer & kitten.

I have had this update window open for hours. I can’t decide if I have nothing to say or too much to boil down to a proper post.

I went from being crazy busy to not busy at all last week, so of course I managed to get a head cold. And now I’m busy again. I keep forgetting what day it is. I thought it was Wednesday for most of the morning, but apparently it is only Tuesday. That’s good, probably.

Here’s another view of Friday’s visual aid:

Shiny, shiny new MacBook Air. I keep thinking I’m going to put it down somewhere and lose it, it’s so skinny! Still getting used to it, but so far it’s been fabulous.

And now I’ve had this half-a-post in progress for several additional hours.

I might have to just face facts and admit that I am boring today. Or possibly this week. I am all to-do lists and Kleenex and learning about accounting. None of which makes for interesting blogging.

And the mailman neglected to pick up my outgoing mail. That is the height of excitement around here today, dear readers.

Here, in lieu of more interesting content, have a Tessa. She looks how I feel:

And she’s sitting on my book contract. Sigh.

tessa and a box. again.

Yet another Tessa + Box = TRUE LOVE story that will leave the kitten crushed and broken-hearted when I must recycle the box.

She’ll find another (inevitably doomed) cardboard love. She’s resilient.
