Well, the cat show was fun....

I got to see a cat that I had never seen before except in books -- a Singapura!. I have been interested in Singapuras for ages and I got to see one in "purr-son" at the cat show! I even got to hold him. His name was "Tumble" and he was so so so sweet! Singapura's are VERY small cats -- full grown they still look like teenage kitties. They have round heads and VERY BIG eyes! They have grey ticked fur with a bit of brown to it and white bellies. They are so pretty!

The one I got to hold was a really friendly one too. I got to snuggle his head -- I probably would have been in trouble if he had been for sale. :-) They had no Singapura kittens there - but they said that they would be at least $800! (Yikes!)



I also got to pat a Bengal kitty= = BOY they sure have pretty markings. The owner was very friendly too -- Sometimes the cat owners can be rather aloof and stuck up, but this guy was very nice. I remember the Bengals as just having spots (which is wonderful enough) but now they even have the other colour within the spots -- making their markings even MORE like their wild "cousins." It would be so nice to have a Bengal kitty. :-)



Another favourite of mine are Birman cats -- especially blues --- and they had a BEAUTIFUL "blue point" Birman kitten for $500! He was a sweet-heart and both my sis-in-law and I wanted him -- but again -- too much money (and my brother had told my sis in law that if she came home with a kitten he would leave her!) !!

International CAT show --

There is a CAT show today (grin) That is DANGEROUS for me!!! I will have to try VERY hard NOT to buy a kitten! (Of course -- those things can be so expensive anyway and I LOVE mutt cats -- so I usually get them from the Humane society == but I have been known to fall in love with a Scottish fold kitten or two (not that I bought them) ...and have always wanted a Singapura!!! Sooooo we shall see how good my resistance is tomorrow -- er -- later today (I stayed up too late again)

Malicious Intent made a NEW award all of her own and I am the first recipient of it!!! Wasn't that nice of her? It shows her beautiful artwork and I also love what she said it means. I shall have to try to make an award too, sometime, to give out to people. I have it posted on this blog (scroll down to see it) THANK you, Malicious! That was so sweet of you! I love it! :-)

How is this for amazing?

I actually took a sleeping pill last night at 11pm so I could force myself to sleep at a more normal time (because I have to get up and help my sis in law take her 2 dogs and one cat to the vets today). Anyway -- it worked *whoooo hooooo!!! I was actually able to sleep at midnight or so (usually impossible for me) and get up at 7:30 AM for a change (instead of 7:30 to 10 PM!)

As usual, I want this to last but it really is harder to do this all the time for me cus usually all I have to look forward to when I get up is: "CLEAN THE APT!" (ugh) So I go back to bed. LOL Plus, for some reason, my eyes physically hurt a lot when I wake up -- Which my friends and family say is not normal. It happens all the time to me so it seems normal to me. I have gone to eye Drs about it but no one seems to know what it is from. When my eyes sting -- all I want to do is close them again.

Anyway -- it is nice, at least, to be up in the morning TODAY! :-) I hope it lasts --

Malcious Intent gave me an award (grin)

I don't really know how to put it up - maybe I link it somehow? Well I tried different ways and decided to just upload it but now -- how do I share it with others?

Very sweet of her to think of me -- Thank you, Thank you! (grin) The rule or suggestion now is to pass it on to 10 people -- I am not sure I even KNOW ten other bloggers but I DO know some special people/bloggers who are very deserving of an award. :-)

First I would like to give an award to a NON-blogger friend of mine (hmmmmmm -- kind of strange to give a BLOG award to a non-blogger but oh well -- I want to ! LOL):

1. To AlphaTest - on SL -- who kept at me to blog until I finally gave in ....and then she helped me again when I forgot my passwords LOL
2. To FD Sparks - For his creative and sensitve blog. - Brain Lag & Unrezzed Grey Reality
3. To Mykyl - for her very thought-provoking blog - Constructs of a Mind
4. To Mordecai (and Kacy) - For their wonderful Blog - It's a Scaggs Life! One of my first introductions to a blog when he kindly took me under his wing and wrote about my fractal artwork on Second Life.
5. To Catherine for - Catherine's Diary -- I have not seen her blog in ages but I hope she decides to come back
6. To Historical Wit - for his extremely intelligent and informative blogs where he shares historical facts and on another one -- lovely artwork.
7. To whomever blogs - Deep Sky - because that is a BEAUTIFUL blog with many wonderful Astronomy pics and facts.
8. And last but definately not least --back to Malicious Intent -for her exceptionally creative, humorous and entertaining blog.

I talked myself into going out ...

......and I am so glad I did. My brother and sister in law joined me for dinner (which is very unusual because they are usually way too busy). Afterwards we went back to their house for a bit. I always enjoy spending time with both of them. I love them so much.

My brother spent some time teaching me the Hebrew alphabet, and he said I was learning it very quickly (which, of course, made me feel good) I was able to sound out some of the words from the rules he taught me -- but of course I had to ask him what they meant.

I also got to hold their 5 month old cat-- Meeko. He is such a CUTE cat!!! Very pretty colouring. Every time I try to hold him he wants to get away from me -- it reminds me of that cartoon -- Pepe LePu (*spelling?) where I am the skunk trying to kiss the kitty cat and the kitty cat is struggling to get away. LOL

I really enjoy hanging out with my brother and sister in law cuz we laugh a lot. I don't get much human contact locally = so it is hard to go back home alone again after spending some time with them. :-( I really should get out more but it is hard to talk myself into going anywhere when I have no one to go with and no where to go.

I explored some other blogs ....

....and saw that they had some neat graphics for their blog titles .... so it finally dawned on me that I could do that too. LOL (Sometimes I can be slow) So I decided to make a pretty title for my blog. It is using part of one of my fractals in the background. I wish I had a larger selection of fonts for my art programs but that one will do. :-)

As I type this I have a grey cat behind me who keeps meowing and wanting to come and shed into my keyboard. She is a cutie (even though she is also a pest) lol. I will add more to this "fascinating" (HA) blog later but I will save it as is for now.

I am actually awake at a normal time today -- I sure hope that lasts! Before that - I spent Friday and Saturday in bed avoiding RL. I really hate it when I do that.

I am REALLY craving a "green burrito" at a local fast food place -- I just wish I could wiggle my nose like in "Bewitched" and have it appear cuz I don't want to go out in the cold and drive 12 miles round trip to get it. (I know that is lazy of me) I probably SHOULD go out though, cuz at least that would be getting out and doing something.

I SHOULD be heading for bed but ....

....But I decided to make a couple of new fractals.....

Here is a neat one I call "Electricity"



Here's another one :-) Well, ...off to bed for me.
