happy holidays!
a family cookie-decorating party at our place produced tons of gingerbreads...
cookie-making parties tired the kitten out. she was zipping in and out of our little house, proud as can be, "i'm an indoor-outdoor big-girl kitty!" she seemed to be saying. here she is napping our on christmas fuzzy-wuzzy blanket.
birthdays are meant to be celebrated with flowers and cupcakes! this was delivered to me at work two weeks ago from the boy (uh, i mean, husband). it's a cupcake flower arrangement, get it? he also left sweet love notes for me to find around the apartment that morning and made me a mixed cd! what a cool guy.
not to be outdone, my co-workers also gifted me with flowers, mocha-rum cake, a gift certificate to my fave shoe store, a ballon and a split of champagne!
then my mom suprised the heck out of me by appearing at work and catered a lovely soup and salad lunch for the office. i felt just like i was in grammar school, having a birthday party at with the kids in my class, ha!12/30/2008 12:42:00 PMbaby rhumba is in surgery today. she's being put under for an extensive dental cleaning and series of blood tests (just to be safe). when we took her in to the vet on saturday for a minor crisis appointment due to sever bad breath, it took two of us to hold her for the anal probe aka taking of her temperature. she's a bit of a screamer. she really did not like getting her annual shots either.
it darn near broke our hearts not to feed her this morning. she needed an empty belly for the surgery but she didn't understand that. the poor thing kept weaving in and out of our legs begging for food as we went about our morning routines. she found two deserted cracker bits near her food dish and wolfed them down. i felt terrible denying her treats and crackers.
but i'm hoping i'll have a kitty with clean teeth and good blood lab results (checking for liver/kidney health) by this evening!12/08/2008 12:59:00 PMmy kitty is an internet model, yea! you can see my orange kitten in action enjoying her jake-and-micah handmade kitten fortune toy here and on their facebook album.
