Brian got me the cutest little cactus the other day. I keep it on a tiny lanyard on my DS Lite but I decided to keep it on my desk today and take the top off to give it a little more air. I only have to water it once a month, finally a plant I probably wont kill! Ha ha!

tea and journaling

I love to write in my journal between calls at work. A hot cup of Lavender Earl Grey tea in a cute mug is pretty nice too. Sometimes it gets cold in here and I'll just bundle up in my Hello Kitty blanket and drink hot tea all day.

A trip to the vet.

I took Isabelle to the vet yesterday for her "new kitten checkup". She behaved very well, and purred at the vet and the assistants. I snapped a few pics while we were waiting in the exam room. I took her to the Sound Cat down the road from where we live, it's a really nice cat only vet.
It's a good thing I took her yesterday because her scar where she was spayed had opened and got a little infected. Poor baby, they had to put her under while they reopened it and cleaned it out and closed it back up. It only took a few minutes and she was acting fine afterwards, but I still felt bad for her. We've got an antibiotic to give her twice a day and pain medicine once a day.
Other than that she's being a normal little kitty, playing , eating, and napping. Her new favorite hobbies are chasing bottle caps across the floor and pouncing on our feet under the covers when we try to sleep at night. Brian and I are learing to sleep while moving our feet as little as possible! ha!

Happy Holidays!

It's that time of year again... the Christmas Season!! I love this time of year, the chilly weather, the eggnog, Christmas cards, decorating the tree, shopping and gift wrapping. I could go on and on. To me Dec 1 is the first day of open season. I'm making my gift shopping lists and planning the decorations. I'm going to try to twist Brian's arm and get a Christmas tree tomorrow. If it was up to him we'd either wait till the 20th or not get one at all (his argument is that we'll be at our parent's house for Christmas anyway so why bother). Well Mr. Scrooge will be overruled. ;)
Isabelle seems oblivious to my excitement, little does she know that I have a santa hat for her to wear. My mother in law got it for her in Myrtle Beach. I'm thinking about having one of those photo Christmas cards made, I'd love to have her wearing it in the picture but I don't think Brian would go for it. We'll see.... ;)
