Lately

Like the rest of the world, I’m pretty hooked on Instagram. Here are some pictures from the last several days. Two of my favorite things, as you can tell, are cute animals and sweet treats. Enjoy!

Chowder loves sleeping on the back of the sofa.

This sweet guy showed up on our porch last week. He hung around until his owner came and picked him up.

RolyYo is possibly the best frozen yogurt in the world, and definitely the best I've ever tasted. It's pretty unbeatable with strawberries and blueberries.

Cute Cats

I swear this isn't becoming a cat blog.

I have so many wonderful recipes and garden things to share with you guys, if I can just find the time to write about them.

But how can I not post all these cute pictures in the meantime?

Being a Grad Student is Hard Sometimes

As was probably made evident by my extended absence, all week I’ve been paying for the fun I had last weekend.  I’ve been barely treading water as far as work is concerned–I have two presentations and two essays to turn in next week, plus a stack of Comparison/Contrast essays to grade at some point (not one of my sixteen students has dropped, which is great but also means more work for me).  So this weekend will be spent in front of the computer, drinking more coffee than I probably should, and eating foldover peanut butter sandwiches.  I’m sure the upcoming week will be more relaxed, and we have Mardi Gras break coming up, so I’ll have some cool (and in no way related to school) things to share soon. Hopefully this cute picture of Chowder will make the wait a little more bearable (since I know you guys are hitting refresh every fifteen minutes and tearing your hair out in frustration over my lack of posts).

This is Chowder's favorite place to sit in the mornings. He's clearly unhappy I'm invading his personal space.

Happy Friday! (Or, Cats Don’t Understand the Concepts of School and Work)

Chowder isn't much for book learnin'. He's actually waiting for Dawn and me to leave the room so he can dig in/eat the plants next to this bookcase.

Most of the time I’m equally cheerful throughout the week, but the past couple days have been very busy, and I woke up tired today.  There’s pretty much nothing I’d rather do right now than crawl back into bed and sleep a couple more hours (or days).  Since I can’t do that, I thought I’d share some cute cat pictures this morning.  On days like today I’m jealous of my cats because they don’t have to go to school or work.  In fact, they refuse to do anything they don’t want to do and spend most of the day sleeping together on my bed in the sun.

Maxine will lie on whatever she feels like, even a pair of scissors I'm in the middle of using.

What a dreamy way to spend the day.

I think Chowder is stingy.

here he is hoarding all the catnip mice in the house

Maxine snuck up to try and take one, and Chowder retaliated

Most of these are the organic catnip mice I made for them a couple of months ago.  Though I was disappointed in the way they turned out appearance-wise, they’ve held up really well and both cats seem to enjoy playing with them just the same.
