I'm still here, just haven't really had a lot to say lately. yes, I'm still pregnant, four days past the due date, and counting. :( (although, pre-labor has begun, this means I'm experiencing intermittent heavy cramping and contractions as my cervix dilates in preparation for the actual labor, but otherwise I'm going nowhere fast.) besides the usual pregnancy fun, life is pretty boring, I can't do much, so I pretty much just hang around the house and knit, spin, embroider, read and futz around on the computer. if you are interested in the crafty side you can check out my knitblog it seems to be getting updated a little more regularly than here. :-/ to add a little more entertainment value to this post: ( here, have some pictures of a cute cat and Billy )Tags: artsycraftsy, critters, peektures, pets

The newest member of our household!  It is my pleasure to introduce you all to Miss Esmerelda Weatherwax!  We went to the SPCA today and looked around, she was quite lovey, and insisted on climbing upon both mine and Bill's shoulders. They said she was used to dogs and small children, and was very calm and laid back. It was a bit of a bumpy start at first, Cayenne got far too excited by the new kitty and got a little too close for Esme's comfort, which resulted in a scratch upon the nose. But after a while with Cayenne and the leash and time to explore Esme decided upon a safe spot, and Cayenne got used to the idea that she didn't need to constantly inspect the new cat. I eventually put a blanket down in Esme's safe spot so she would have something soft to lie on. Lunch time was quite interesting, at the Shelter they only feed dry food, so we didn't know what Esme would like, and hadn't actually bought any wet food yet. We fed Cayenne first, we decided to give her the 'special food' it's this all natural stuff that comes in a tube like sausage, she loves it, and we thought it would bee a good treat for today. She sucked it right down, so Bill pulled out a small can of Mighty Dog that we had, and as soon as he popped open the can Esme appeared on the counter! Apparently she used to get wet food at her old home, and the sound of the food can was enough to make her braved the dog and make an appearance! We let her eat her fill (about half the can, Cayenne finished the rest/) and then filled up her dishes with the dry food we had gotten for her. We'll leave the dry out for her all the time, and make sure to get some wet food tomorrow for lunch times. Right now Bill is doing homework and Cayenne is curled up next to him, he just reported that Esme is napping and purring happily. Tags: peektures, pets

more like Saturday sky, taken Sunday posted Monday. but close enough. Saturday was my Bridal Shower and that took up most of my energy for the day, but on Sunday Bill and I went out to the Mina Anthony Common Nature Center out on Wellesley Island so he could work on the Blogger Bio Blitz.While there I got this wonderful shot. That's an Osprey, there were two but I could only get one on camera, and a mating pair is know to nest near where we were. They were spectacular! ( osprey! )Saturday Sky, taken Sunday April 22, 2007 around 2:00pm, Beaver Pond in the Mina Anthony Common Nature Center on Wellesley Island.

Bill and I had a great time at the NYS sheep and wool festival, down in Reinbeck. We left Friday morning, and drove down to Albany, it was raining quire fitfully, and apparently my bladder is very impressionable, we had to make several stops on the way down, but otherwise we made pretty good time. When it wasn't raining I managed to get several pictures of the wonderful foliage from the car. ( Read more... )Once we arrived in Albany we threw our stuff into the room and headed out to buy stuff. Albany has a wonderful selection of ethnic markets, unlike anything we have here in Clayton or Watertown, so every time we go to Albany we make sure to visit the Asian market to by curry paste (there's actually two Asian markets in Watertown, but nether of them carry the brand of curry paste we like, that doesn't use fish paste.) and then off to the Indian market to buy Dals (dried legumes) Bill got a four pound bag each of kala chana, urad dal, mung dal, and toovar dal, unfortunately the prices had gone up and instead of $3 a bag, we had to pay $7. which is still pretty damned good, since they last quite some time, and we can't find them anywhere in our area. After our shopping adventures we visited the Albany Borders, where I got to actually hold and play with a Sony Reader I want. And Bill bought a bunch of books that they don't carry in out local Borders. Then it was of to the Bangkok Thai restaurant for a delicious dinner, then back to the motel for the night. Then to the main event, Saturday, it was a beautiful sunny day and the fairgrounds were packed, it was a struggle to walk through the vender barns without getting trampled by crazy fiber enthusiasts. I picked up a little beginners needle felting kit, and then the rest of the day was spend just wandering around and taking pictures of adorable fiber animals. ( Read more... )and bought some extra yummy raw cow's milk cheese! mmmmm... Sunday it was MUCH less busy, I got to try out a bunch of spinning wheels, bought a pumpkin needle felting kit. (Reinbeck is dangerous; every time I go there I come out with a new addiction!) ( Read more... )And generally wandered around more. I really wanted to buy some roving, but I haven't really had a lot of time to spin lately, and I still have a bunch of cayenne fur to finish up before I can even look ant anything else. And most of the yarns just were too expensive for too little for me to really do anything with them. Before we left we watched the parade of llamas and alpacas and then stopped by the Wildman Jack reptile show, which was a lot of fun, it was amusing to watch he kids reactions compared with their mothers. ( Read more... )then it was straight home form the festival, it was a nice drive, but once again, started raining again the farther we went along. Although I did get another great picture before we left the Albany area. ( Read more... )for even more pictures from the festival, check out the slideshow I made. I promise you won't be disappointed!
