making his mark

With this wacky weather lately, we have been spending some cozy afternoons inside this week. To keep the wee one occupied, I decided to to break out the 'ol crayons and coloring book. Here is one of Jasper's lovely pieces... he is currently fanatic about purple, I think in part because that is one of the few colors he can actually say. If he were to title this piece it would be called “Puh-pul Meow-Meow” (yes, he hasn't figured out how to say the word Cat yet either). ;)

collage: maybe i'll get a kitten

Hooray, the weekend is right around the corner! I haven't posted a collage in quite a while, so I thought I would share one of my faves. This one is called "Maybe I'll get a kitten". In actuality, I can't ever really get a kitten since I am super allergic, so I have to admire the little fur balls from afar. Although, there are those hairless ones... but less face it, those are so not very cute.

me-ow

Ok, do you sometimes find yourself stumbling across something odd that you feel the need to take a picture of? Well, I felt compelled to take a pic of this cougar when I bumped into him.... he was the perfect model too... holding that pawing pose, well, indefinitely. And, just to alleviate anyone's possible concern, this was in a nature and science centre, so I am going to assume it had died of natural causes. Me-ow.

collage: kitty lunch

I love to eat. I am one of those types of people who gets hangry (hungry + angry) when I don't get yummy food in me at timely points in the day. Sometimes I'll even start to daydream about an upcoming meal up until I am actually eating... heehee. I wonder if cats get hangry too?

collage: beware of hissing kitty

The other day, while at my mother-in-law's house, I had put down my jacket, and when I cam back to get it, the cat was curled perfectly on top of it, as if it were a nest. It doesn't matter who's cat it is, but it seems that I am a cat magnet, which is ironic, since I'm super allergic to them. It's almost as if cats can sense that I can't pet them, so they make an even greater effort to try and woo me. I think they secretly get a kick out of seeing me sniffle and sneeze and my eyes slowly puffing shut.

Ok... this jet lag business is getting a little bit ridiculous. I swear, my sleeping patterns are more like a cat these last couple of days. I wake up at 3 or 4 in the morning with tons of energy and then by noon I am in dire need of a cat nap. Yesterday night I fell asleep on the couch at 8pm, only to wake up at midnight to move to the bed and fall asleep again. Hopefully I can shake this pattern off soon!!

It was so hard to get out of bed today... it's one of those days. I have so much work ahead of me today, and am dragging my feet a little. I wish it was Friday! Sometimes I wish I could sleep in late, like a cat, and just spend my day lazying on the window sill watching the world go by... meow.
