hehe, HI!!!

now dontchoo go thinkin i’ve ditched my blog!!! ;)  (remember, i PAY for my hosting services. HA!)

ever since my detox has kicked in, i feel like a …

i’m feeling all warm and fuzzy today.  (and no, its not because i need to shave! ROTFL.)  this last week was just so much more mellow and “normal,” and after the hustle and bustle of thanksgiving was over, i realized how thankful i am for the simple things…

hey everyone! (happy december!!)

yesterday i was messin around with my blog, just cleaning things up on the main navigation bar and such. 

i thought i’d try to use feedburner to make it easier for folks to subscribe, because i like using it on others’ blogs.  so but well, previously i had used my host’s RSS subscription set up and they had it so peeps could subscribe to my content as well as my comments.  im not sure why they do it that way, cause i dont see a MAIN subscription for comments on most other blogs.  maybe because the level of blog hosting i pay for doesnt include the ability for people to subscribe to comments from a specific post?  i’m not sure :(

anyhoo, i made…

SNOW!! =D=D

we got our first snow tonite!!  we're supposed to get up to 3 inches overnight.  i had to pop outside real quick and see...of course i was barefoot so i just stepped out long enough to get maizy in for a quick shot...she was excited cause she lovveesss snow!  (as you can see she is feeling a bit of the holiday cheer herself with her little bandana.  hehe!)

i love it when we have snow on thanksgiving.  it brings back memories of when i was a kid--we always had snow in indiana on turkey day!

YAYYY just what i needed to get that warm fuzzy holiday feeling.  i'm all ready for thanksgiving dinner tomorrow--are you?

talk to you soon!!

hey! :D

well, after posting the goofy cat pix yesterday, i got "scouted out" by Catster (or a Catster fan, i'm not sure!) to enter it in their The 3rd Annual World’s Coolest Dog & Cat Show!

obviously, i have gigabytes full of pix of my furry critters, some definitely funnier than this one, but i decided--what the hay?! might as well--today is the last day to enter!

for the contest, tho, i had to come up with a caption, so if you're curious you can either vote or check out yesterday's blog commentary :)

and, even tho the pix has 3 of my cats, i could only choose one as the contest entrant, so i chose trixie...cause she's the mouser of the family...and she's the one who originally cornered the mouse in the sink. HEHE!! 

meowmeow!  thanks for your votes!! 

i LOOOOOVVVVVE making up funny captions for pictures. (did i mention that i LOVVVE it?)

i am well-known in my family for making greeting cards on special occasions, with the recipient's or another fam member's mug (usually photo shopped LOL) being on the front and the butt of a funny caption or joke *giggle* 

plus, all our pets have dogster or catster pages and its just a hoot to think up stuff for all their photos!  you know pets...they've got their own lil personalities. =D

soooooo...i'm gonna be brave and try somethin fun, and i hope you will jump right in! :D...

we love playing with our golden retriever, maizy, in the house.  we're fortunate that our home has a very open-concept front living area and wrap-around hallway.  with 3 huge doorways into that living area (which is currently our office and pet play room LOL), it makes it SO FUN to play tag with maiz! =D

right now hubby is gettin a major aerobic workout, and being outsmarted by maizy...

goooood morning :D  (man, i do have to say, i miss my yahoo smiley emoticons *lol*)

well today is gonna be fun!!  i have a friend...

hahaha! (this is my cat cali, AKA "coco"-lander...derived from cali-CO...how original! haha!!)
okay, so i am a big fan of my cat cali coco-lander, but that's not what this post is about! hehe!! i wanted to drop ya'll a line and let you know the book i am currently reading-- "Eat Fat Lose Fat" by Dr. Mary Enig and Sally Fallon. its mostly about how using coconut and coconut oil (not cali "cocos" heheh...altho pets do help keep us healthy, but that's another blog topic! ;) pardon the mid-sentence tangent! but hey, you're used to it...hehe!) can help you get healthier--lose weight, recover from illness, etc... well, im not one to fall for fad stuff or things that seem to good to be true, and i was skeptical when my hubby decided to check this book out from the library, especially when i saw the cover of the book said something about "coconut diets!" :-O

so let's back up a bit...
