Sunday-10:15am

Karma was snoozing in the sun on the carpet minding her own business...

...when I came sneaking up with the camera. She looked the camera right in the eye...

...and then let me know what she thought of the intrusion. Can a cat look disgusted?

Here's the additional box of cards (I forgot to take a picture of) that we'll sell next year on the etsy shop.

We're never exactly sure how many we'll use, you know? And then we have some already done to have for sale the following year. :)

I stamped up a sample page to show the simple sentiments people can choose from.

And now I need to make some samples of my handwriting for the really personalized sentiments. But I have to decide on what kind of pen to use first. ;) I just want to have these done by Tuesday so Leah can have them for the shop.

Since it snowed Karma has added something to her morning routine. After her canned spoonful treat in the pantry Karma usually goes right to the dogbed and wants some of her dry cat treats (just diet cat food). Heaven forbid she actually eat out of her food dish, right? LOL! Well, now she has added wanting to go outside right after scooping a few treats out of the metal tea tin. Like she's turned into weather cat--just has to find out how cold it is and if there is more snow.

When it is really cold she mistakenly thinks she can change her mind. But if she cries to go out, she is going out--if I have to push her butt out the door. She quickly remembered from previous winters to just sit there--silently (as in the picture above). Because I just might let her off the hook if she hasn't been yowling and creating a ruckus to go out. ROFL!! If she hasn't expressed the verbal desire to go out, then she can feign that it was all my idea to open the door, after all. And I do allow her to change her mind. Politeness goes a long way in my book. She's a pretty smart cat. But if she's positive she wants out---she yowls. ;)

I've been working on balancing the checkbook, writing out bills, and I also got my new 2011 weekly planner all ready for the coming year. I keep track of birthdays and the monthly budget in there--now I am all set for 2011. :)

And in December or January, depending, Karma will be getting a new cat box for her litter box. There will be a huge change in Miss Karma's life. She has had the same one since she was a kitten--going on six years now. There will be pictures, of course--LOL!

Hope you're having a good weekend.

Bye-bye from Fargo! :)
