Week in Review (20)

Random Thoughts

We waited too long to get Casey fixed apparently. She was crying up a storm last night and actually attracted some neighbourhood cats to our front steps. We are obviously going to have to take her to the vet... Other than the visitors she hasn't been too annoying. I am not even sure she was calling out to the cats; she was attacking June bugs through the window screens last time I was paying attention to her. They were out in full-force and she was captivated. I don't even really notice them unless I am outside typically, but Casey tends to change things. The guy went outside for something and killed 11. They were everywhere! They are also early.

Now she is sleeping the the sleep of the angelic... 

Moving on, remember my very nice picture the other day of my coffee maker for 'A Smell I Love'?

I don't have it any more. The stupid glass pot fell out of the drying rack the other night and shattered. I tell you, things are made so horrible these days! It was like 9:30 at night, so we went to see if we could find a replacement. The glass pots wouldn't work in our maker and we couldn't find a replacement maker, either. So, we lucked into this coffee maker incorrectly priced:

The plus part of it was that it does not have a glass pot. As our current maker was only about 2 months old because I broke the pot out of our other one; I was pretty ticked off with them. This one is actually pretty cool. You can make a pot of coffee like pictured above, or you can use travel mugs. With the travel mugs you can use 1 or 2 at a time. I was going to take a picture with the travel mugs, but the guy has gone travelling with one of them. I am sure this is very boring, but it is a new toy and I think it is cool...

Postcard Project

I am having lots of fun with my postcard project. It turns out all this time I was missing Missouri, so I will have to recount how many I actually have. I received these this week:
