For the past few days, I have not been able to see any pictures, beyond avatars and the occasional sig. The images start to upload but take forever. I wouldn't be surprised if they had changed some settings here at work but wanted to see if anyone else was affected.
Gypsy, to put it bluntly, is an overweight long-haired cat (she's been on a diet since I adopted her). She sometimes has problems cleaning herself properly after using the litterbox. I give her a good brushing nightly, but tonight for the first time I noticed some matting around her urethra...
I found a random roll of film this weekend, and when it was processed I was happy to see they were pictures of my garden early last spring. So, enjoy this glimpse of spring with me (all clickable thumbnails)...
This weekend, I started my annual re-watch of the Lord of the Rings movies (yeah, I'm a dork ). During one particularly action-filled sequence, it caught Gypsy's attention. She ended up watching the movie with me for about 15 minutes. Now, I've learned the secret-no more cat sitter videos...
Quick background-my front door leads into a small entryway containing a coat closet and separated from the living room by a glass-paned door. The mail chute dumps into the coat closet.
This afternoon, when picking up my mail Gypsy decided to explore the entryway. I wasn't paying much...
For the past few years, I have helped mentor a high school student in the lab. She attends a private girls school, which is very strong in science and encourages their students to obtain research positions during high school, with the goal of submitting their research to the national Intel...

Guillermo del Toro's "Hellboy" is one of my favorite movies, not only for the story but for the cinematography. This movie looks to be even better! Any one else planning on seeing it?
Last night at the grocery store, I managed to slip on a patch of ice and landed on my backside . I cut my hand and my wrists were a bit sore, but everything seemed OK. I complained to the manager, did my shopping and went home. This morning, when I woke up my neck and lower back were stiff...
This morning, I went to the post office to pick up airmail stamps. When I got there (at 8:25) there were 6 people in line ahead of me and only one person working behind the counter . When the next customer remarked on the wait to be helped, the woman behind the counter replied "It's been...
Gypsy saw our vet on Saturday for her first checkup Everything looked good, and she got a vaccination for rabies and upper respiratory diseases. Today, she's been sneezing and her eyes are runny. The vet warned me she might get sneezy, but I expected it a bit sooner. Ivo's always reacted...
My clothes! Seriously!
Today I am wearing an ankle-length khaki skirt. Because of the fabric it's a little loud when I walk. At one point this morning Gypsy followed me up to my bedroom. When I turned around she startled, puffed up and ran down the stairs full tilt. When I came back...
What strange weather we're having. Earlier it was overcast, but fairly warm. Ten minutes ago, fog started rolling in and now the visibility is about zero. The drive home tonight is *not* going to be fun at all!
I've been looking for a companion for Ivo since I moved into my house. Two weekends ago I adopted Gypsy, a two year old tortie female. Introductions between Gypsy and Ivo are going well, and Gypsy now has run of the house. Here are some pictures of my new girl!
Gypsy bird watching while Ivo...
