recovery weekend

April 20, 2012 3:38 pm \ 6 Comments \

Working from home totally throws me off. I end up doing housework on my breaks, cooking lunch while checking my emails…etc. I can’t ever turn off work! It’s nice to not have to worry about commuting, but at the same time, work is never gone when it’s in your house.

But my “bosses” are great company:

I’m totally going to be this cat person:

Funnily enough, that’s the brand/flavour that I feed my kitties too. They are not as appreciative as this actor-cat though.

It’s been a long week. Driving to and from Calgary (but having patio beers with my lovely ladyfriend!) always knocks me out for a little while. That road buzz is no joke, and just a week and a half after the BC trip was a lot of time in the car. But, bonus: after driving to and from Vancouver, Calgary seems a lot closer!

This weekend will be recharging my batteries for sure. Diving tomorrow, which is something I always look forward to. Some house cleaning will happen as well, but I’m not going to knock myself out to do it.

Feels like I’m getting boring, but after how this month began I’m fine with boring for awhile.

the blog about cats

February 1, 2012 10:26 pm \ 3 Comments \

So I posted a Tweet this afternoon, asking what to blog about. My friend Cole came back with one word: “cats.”

I am taking that completely seriously! What follows is my blog all about cats.

I took a few more pictures of the furry menaces around the house, but this is my absolute favourite picture of my little family:

He may have had to hold down the cats for dear life to get this photo, but I still think it looks cute. They bolted seconds after the shutter was depressed.

And a few more for good measure:

I LOVE HER FURRY TOES:

This is the saddest freaking song about cats, ever. If you haven’t heard it yet, maybe give it a listen through, but put a box of tissues nearby.

Edit: I just tested the theory again and yup, this still makes me cry. At work, no less! I’m done testing now…

I was sitting downstairs last night as Thomas was upstairs playing a video game, and I could overhear his music. He was listening to a lot of Weakerthans, and when he came downstairs for a drink, I commented on the playlist he was listening to. After talking about the band for a little bit, I told him that every time I hear Virtute the Cat Explains Her Departure, I cry.

We chuckled about it, and then he went back upstairs.

I put the song on, just to test my theory, and had tears halfway though. A little while later Thomas came back downstairs. I was still watching TV and he came to sit with me for a bit. He looked at me a little strangely, and I had to admit it: “YES. I listened to the cat song. And it does still make me cry.”

You were warned.

Lastly, here’s some cool cat facts from the Oatmeal.









Hey Cole, is that enough cats? ;)

new camera!

So, if you don’t follow me on Twitter, you wouldn’t know that I picked up a new DLSR body today!

It’s funny though, I’m feeling first-world guilty about it. I don’t really need a new DSLR, in that my old one still works just fine. I feel seriously conflicted about this because it’s something I wanted and not something I needed! And it wasn’t cheap (but it was the least expensive one I found…) so I think that’s adding to it. I’m not the person to drop huge sums of money on things (I bought my laptop last winter when mine died on me, and it almost gave me an anxiety attack in the Apple store) and especially not for things that I don’t “need.”

I also stopped taking the amount of photos that I once did with my D40, so again, more guilt. A good photographer doesn’t need the best equipment, just a good eye. I don’t know if I still have the eye, but I want to take more pictures in 2012. Put more up around the house, have a couple of albums so that we can show our friends and family places we’ve been and events we’ve had. 2012 is going to be the year of travel for Thomas and I — two trips at least for us both, probably three for me.

Definitely first world guilt coming on. Ugh. Am I gonna use this? Should I have saved my money and spent it on something more practical? What about my braces in 2012? What about the Mexico trip in February, what about the trip to Coachella Thomas and I want to take? What if what if what if, etc.

Way too in my own head for my own good.

Here are the pictures of Luna I promised:

And some photos I found on Thomas’ memory card from Vegas that are too good not to share!
