All Our Bags are Packed...

The movers came today and packed the entire house.  Of all of our moves we've done, this has seemed to go the smoothest.  Except for the part when one of the movers actually packed the cat litter box.  Are you kidding me?  E just told me that the guy at least emptied it out first.  Whew!  

Now, if we could just find the cat, we'd be in business.  We caught a glimpse of him running toward the door earlier today and haven't seen him since.  Hoping that he hasn't run away.  Not sure how to explain that to the little ones.  Now if the hamster decided to run away, that might be OK.  Although I'm sure that e would have a bigger problem if 'snow princess' went missing.  All of my attempts to get her to donate it to her class have failed.

The movers will be picking everything up tomorrow and then we will finish cleaning.  I use the term 'we' loosely.  My mother-in-law has practically cleaned our entire house already.  Got to love that.  It has been so nice to have them here to help us.  I will be enlisting help from any willing relative for all future moves.  I am hooked.

Alright, snoring KK is making me sleepy.  More adventures in moving to come.

Buddy and the bird

Awwhh. Buddy, you used to be so small and innocent. You could do nothing wrong. And then, I come home on Saturday to hear what you had done. You are indeed a cat and must act on your instinct to hunt.

It seems to be that our boy Buddy was successful in his quest to bag him a bird. They have been taunting and teasing him so.

E came downstairs to find the living room strewn with feathers and this little guy, who took shelter in his hand.


He wasn't looking so good and we had no idea what to do. Who does one call when there is a hurt bird in your house? It doesn't seem quite seem like that's a typical vet duty. I certainly wouldn't know.


As we pondered, he started looking better.


Shortly after this picture was taken, he flew over to our china cabinet and took a poop. I don't blame him. I'd be scared too.


Until next time birdie...
(if you scroll down to yesterday's post, you will notice that I added the 'vibrancy' back to Buddy as LLN suggested)

Have a great day! See you tomorrow!

I'm in Love!!!!

Yes, with this man, but that's not what I'm talking about. Just look at what he is holding.

I think I might have mentioned that I obsess. Anyway, we have been wanting to get a new camera for quite a while. I can't even tell you how long 'a while' has been. We have looked at countless websites and read several thousand reviews and finally decided that we needed to take the plunge and upgrade. We purchased the Nikon D80 digital SLR with the 18-200 mm VR lens from a sort of shady internet source (that's a story for a different day) and we couldn't be happier.


Do you see the size of this lens? It's marketed as a 'compact' lens.
Let's take a look at what this baby can do.


Here is our cat Buddy with our Sony 5.1 MP camera. Not too shabby.


This is buddy with this fabulous work of engineering. Good Lord! This is what I have been missing out on.


The other fun thing that we purchased was Adobe Photoshop. Look what I did with the first 5.1MP picture.


I did the same thing with Nikon picture.

Our picture taking has reached a whole new level.
