Juniper the crafty cat. She's on my art table, sleeping or just sitting there pretty often. Its right next to her cat furniture thing. I don't mind this. As long as she stays off my kitchen counters. That is just way too gross to me. There are certain things that cats do that, well... make me dislike cats. BUT Juniper luckily does not do any of these things, and many cats don't thank goodness.
1. Getting up on kitchen counters with their litter covered feet..eww
2. Scratching up furniture. I like my furniture to stay looking new. This is not easy with 2 boys, then add in a cat and I'm asking for trouble. Luckily my couches are dark chocolate colored.
3. Marking spots. (boy cats usually do this, but sometimes a strange female will too) I think this is mainly because they don't like their litter box for some reason(like its stinky dirty) or they have cat competition. Neither going on here. Thank goodness!
My only wish is that Juniper was up more during the day. She's definitely a night owl.
Yesterday I got free moment to work on a card for the current jinglebelles competition. Its theme was jolly/lucky. Well I just kinda went with what I felt like. I used a cosmo cricket rub on I've had forever that is adorable.
Been on a bit of a reading streak I have. I go through spurts of reading. My ulitmate goal is to read 12 books a year or more. Which roughly is a book a month. Which is fine on the months I'm really into reading and usually go through up to 4 books a month. There are those months where I go many months with out even picking up a book. Its been awhile since I read a book, probably about a month and half. I just finished this book:
Its a Gothic mystery type book where the main character finds her mother upset when she gets a letter that was lost in the mail for over 40 years. She finds out her mother was evacuated to an old English castle during WWII and lived with a family. She won't say more than that and the main character goes on a sort of hunt about the past and its mystery. Its really good. Its all about secrets, literature, castles and war times. I loved it. I got mine off ebay for pretty cheap, its only in hard cover still.
Well I gotta go take the boys to school. Have a great Tuesday!
