QUOTE OF THE NOW

"Our life evokes our character. You find out more about yourself as you go on. That's why it's good to be able to put yourself in situations that will evoke your higher nature rather than your lower. 'Lead us not into temptation.'" Joseph Campbell

Casual Post: Introducing Catface!

In Humor
Father Award of the Week to Casapinka's husband: When she awoke to a crying daughter because she had forgotten to play tooth fairy...
in a stupor reached into my brain for the "Three Night Rule" that the tooth fairy occasionally enacts, which fell like a lead balloon. Luckily, Husband found an envelope on the Barbie Dream House that had 15 Euros in it and a one dollar bill, the only US cash he had on him. "Juniorette's response while staring wonderingly at Daddy and scornfully at me: "Not only does the tooth fairy know we're going to Ireland this summer, this must mean that we're going to get OUR dream house, too!" 
(You see, Litdiva? Fathers learn and even exceed expectations!)

In Veganism
Just found out a vegan chain store opened in my city, downtown, back in the winter! Well! My corner store sells lots of goodies, and they'll be expanding eventually; but it'll be fun to have somewhere to make a little trip to for fun. Plus I never do orders online cause I don't want to pay all the shipping, but shipping from downtown once in awhile shouldn't be too expensive.

In Kitties
Hi-larious photo from my friend Yolga--this is her cat, whose name is Kitty but whom she calls Catface. Catface was not posed for this picture (you know you can't be posing cats). Yolga's mother had to race for the camera and then contort in strange positions to make sure she got the shot. She did a great job!
(Is it me or does Catface have something important she needs to say? Very intent look on her face.)


I got Minion a kong toy but wasn't sure she'd use. She chews on it all the time (it's small like the green one, but pink.) She holds it with two paws like an ice cream, and I hear it squeaking: erka erka erka.





 Got some pics of the elusive Haley this week.

(I let her choose today's oracle card. Butterfly-transformation.)

The intelligence in the eyes is disturbing. I dare not buy her a science kit.

Loved the cat photo's. Catface does have a very intense look. Perhaps she was trying to mimic the other cats on the shelf.
