My Life So Far

My Life So Far was the name of a project that I did in elementary school (which is lovingly framed and hanging in my parents' house).  It is a piece of oak tag with pictures of me at various ages, all in a circle.  There are also pictures of my various family members, and a sappy subtitle ("Love is All Around", or something like that).  When I first had the idea to start a blog, I thought about what to name it and almost immediately, this is the title that came into my head.  It seemed cheesy enough to be just the right thing so here we are.

Now...a little about my furry roommates.  I live with two cats.

This is Daisy, pulling the tail off one of her toy mice:

Isn't that just cute?  It has often occurred to me to wonder what exactly she would do with a real mouse (that would perhaps not be so cute).  Despite her penchant for dismembering toys, Daisy is a really sweet and loyal cat.  She gets into bed with me at night for a cuddle before I go to sleep, and in the morning she sits and stares at me and purrs until I wake up.  Very cute.

And this...is Bear.  I think his look says it all:

Bear weighs about 17 pounds but as he is a very tall and long cat this is not excessive.  His vet says that he is "big boned" :-)  He can be, at times, a very poorly mannered cat, despite my efforts to enforce the rules (there aren't many, but he breaks them all anyway).  But he is so handsome that I can't really stay mad at him for very long.  Actually...he reminds me a lot of just about every man I've ever dated.

Time for this chick to start thinking about sleep.  I have to go to the city tomorrow for a training class on Derivatives.  I'll hardly be able to shut my eyes for all the excitement.
