Is this week over yet?... It is?? WAHOO!!

Man oh man, what a week it's been over here. Between court hearings and ferrying documents around from bank to lawyer and back again, and job interviews and sinister monsoons trying to attack our house... it's been eventful, folks.

Apparently our home warranty didn't cover our garage electric being busted because it was a lightning storm (hmm), so Matt rolled up his sleeves and ... fixed it himself! Something about a plug with a fuse in it and some wires and shazam! Good as new. (Can you tell I'm sooo not mechanically inclined?)

And my job interview went well today! I'm not going to say it went GRRRREAT! because I said that about the last one and I got the lovely 'thanks but no thanks' email. So we'll see if I get called back next week!



Here's my photo for my 52 this week... I need to start planning ahead for these more, but I blame the hecticness of the week, and the bad weather! Boo, hiss, weather!!

You can click on it to go to the actual photo page. I snapped this real quick after my interview today; the lighting was crappy because a storm had suddenly decided to roll in -- oh boy! -- so there's a little more noise in the photo than I would like. I wanted it to have a little bit of a faded vintage-y look so I did what I could! Voila. (PS - if you ever see those shoes somewhere, even if they're only $15, don't buy them. They hurt and are really just for looks.)

And a fun outtake of my photo shoot... did you know I have the most giant white cat in the WORLD?! Because if you didn't...

AAARGH, HE'LL EAT US ALL!! I took a bunch of photos of me squeezing my marshmallow-like cat, and once I uploaded them, I realized in every single one of them ... his butthole was showing. No, really! So I used the rubber stamp tool to clone it out and replace it with fur! HAH! Take that, unsightly cat butts! You are no match for the cloning tool.

But anyways, I've started a list of ideas that I'll use for future shoots. They include ketchup and old champagne bottles and my feet, but not all at the same time.



I hope everyone has a FANTASTIC weekend!! I've gotten a little behind on blogging, so I'm going to play catch-up and respond to some comments. We have a community BBQ on Sunday that I'm looking forward to a lot, tasty food and meeting our neighbors... I wonder if they'll have pulled pork?? A gal can dream! ;)

Murphy's Law .. Finnegan Murphy ... yeah, it all adds up.

Poor Finny has a lump on his chin! It's right below his lower teeth, a little smaller than half of a dime. I've been calling him Jay Leno, and sometimes it looks like he's pouting. I only noticed it yesterday morning and it came up really fast so I don't know if he was bitten by something (do we have creepy nighttime bugs in our apartment??) or if Kerri booted him in the face when they were playing, but it hasn't really gone down in size. I made him an appointment for Tuesday afternoon so we could kind of watch it more over the weekend. Poor guy -- first a chain event of leg surgeries, now this. It really is Murphy's Law when it comes to Finnegan. (Murphy -is- his middle name...) He's happy as a clam though, so I'm not too concerned. But it'll probably have to come off -- I worked in the veterinary field for 6 years, and just looking at it, I don't think it's going anywhere on its own!

I was going to post more photos of the cats I took on Wednesday when I was home at lunch and being adorable... that's a lump-free Finny up there, and I guess for even measure I'll post one of Kerrigan, too. :)


Work hard, sleep hard!!

At any rate, it's the WEEKEND!!, and I hope everyone has a good one. :) We are getting ready to go out for a Chik Fil A breakfast (Chicken Minis... mmmmmm... ) and probably not do a whole heck of a lot else. I like lazy weekends!
