this is a shot of Smiegel the Cat that i took over the xmas holiday. the pretty girl can buy any sort of random pet outfit and Smiegel is more than happy to parade around in it for days.

i dig this shot b/c the angle & lighting remind me of Che Guevara and if any of our pets were to lead a revolution, it would definitely be Smiegel.

photos to delight and amaze

as luck would have it, my schedule has allowed me to take a few extra days off from school to spend with misty and the family back home.

the magnitude of this news was not lost on buster who is super-jazzed to get to hang out with his favorite feline “Smiegel the Cat” (yes, the cat’s name is Smiegel but that’s another post entirely).

here’s more photographic proof that you may be prepared to handle on an idle monday:

you really haven’t lived until you’ve spent a weekend stalking your pets and waiting for a candid moment that will win you 1st place at the county fair.

cats, candles and something else that starts with “c”

so i’ve been sitting on about 12,000 photos from xmas/newyears. let’s do something about that shall we?

here’s a bunch of shots of the cats: mork & smiegel

and a few more from all the gift wrapping fun…

tell me have you seen my cornbread?

during the long thanksgiving weekend the pretty girl and i spent the evenings cooking up all sorts of goodness. when i say “we” i mean that she did the cooking and that i followed instructions. i am very good with simple. clear. concise. instructions.

she understands this about me and proceeds accordingly.

first “we” made these pumpkin bars with homemade icing and they were amazing.

the pretty girl’s house has this incredible-pro-rachel-ray-oven and the pecan snowball cookies she baked in it were AWESOME.

this is baby-smiegel and after a few hours of cooking/baking he was insistent upon being fed.

this is baby-smiegel with his big brother mork eating while we cooked. we think that the kitten was trying his best to impersonate his big brother’s eating technique.

after they finished eating, each of the cats did there own thing. smiegel sprawled out on the floor and mork headed for quieter comforts in his tent.

in the meantime, the humans sampled their creations. oh and the girl even made a care package of treats for me to take to stonebraker when i fly up to seattle on wednesday.

you’re welcome, stone.
