Ok this is me trying my new option to include videos.  Yay.

Please forgive bad camera operation as I have just gotten this video camera for mah b-day and am still learing how to shoot w/out the squee shaking the camera too much. 

(yeah that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it and yes I AM aware of Steady Cams and tripods, just not an option right now LOL).

I'm gonna post a few vids in hopes that they work and that there's some redeeming qualities to them.

Starting with:  Butterscotch Toe Warrior or Dragon in his den, your call.

Those of you who visit http://www.cuteoverload.com/ know there is a category of Cute Or Sad right?

Well right now my life has been so full of ups and downs that it's bordering on Happy or Downright Depressing!

So what to start with? A high or a low?

Hmmm.  So I'll be selfish I'll start with happy.

The same day I found out I was going to be going to visit my family in MI afterall I also found out that I have actually been officially "published" or as my dear friend Matthew said, "E-Published"

I was at work about to shut down my comp for the night when I remembered I had wanted to peek in at the

A Prairie Home Companion's Website.  I had been semi-worried that the crew from this wonderful radio program had been in some way involved in that horrible bridge tragedy in the Twin Cities.  I was relieved to note that Mr. Keillor took the time to assure everyone that he and his associates were as far as he knew ok.  He took the time to tell us about a young woman who was shot in South Africa, stating that "Life is fragile, though, and there are plenty of reminders."

I felt a bit better, still incredibly sad and worried about the whole thing but somehow reassured.  I was about to exit when as is my habit while visiting the site I scrolled down to their First Person section where they post a few stories & poems from listeners who've submitted them.  |'ve been submitting stuff for a while a few short stories & poems here and there.  Not ever really expecting anything but well, you never know right?  So this time like all the times before I scrolled down to view that little box of hope on the right side of the main page.  I hung there for a second and my hand moved the mouse up to the "X" of the explorer window when my brain finally caught up with reality and yelled "Hey!  That's MY name!!!!!!"  I looked, I looked again, sure enough there it was plain as day.

Mind you my ego was only slightly deflated by the fact that I had a very obvious typo in my About the Author section, but only  a little.  The fact that I even have a publicly viewable blurb chosen by someone not in my control or just being nice to me and that I have an opportunity to even make up an About the Author blurb at all totally makes up for it.

It was questionable whether I'd drive or fly home from work that night.  I'm sure I did one of those two, I can't really remember now.

 

Ok now for a sad.

Today my husband and his mother took one of our 5 dogs, Dusty (my husband Rob's dog through and through) to the vet.  He'd been limping and stiff in the hindquarters lately and when I was giving them baths on Sunday I'd noticed some bleeding at the anus.  Also there was a huge lump of some type on his back/hip/tail base area.  The vet is pretty certain it's a tumor and although he referred us to a specialist (we'll be taking him Thursday) he's pretty sure the outcome isn't that hopeful and said it's likely we'll have to have him "put down".  Rob is not taking it so well.  This is his buddy and friend.  I'm just as upset too, he is such a sweet, mellow laid back dog.  The most easy going dog I have ever had/known.  Very affectionate and playful, just not a care in the world.  Until now.  I'll keep y'all posted on his prognosis as it develops.  Just cross your fingers for us that it's not as serious as his vet fears.

 

 

Not to leave you down in the dumps here's a bit of sweet sunshine in the form of my Mom's cat Butterscotch.  Whom has taken over the household as if it was destined to be hers from before birth.  Blue has something to say about that but well she's learning to tolerate the little usurper.

 

Ok done now.  Snorgle & huff away!

Well I don't know about you guys but I had a busy weekend.  When my mother in law is not at a craft fair on the weekends I find that suddenly there's a lot more to do.

 

Anyway, to end the weekend on a bright note I got an email from my Mom with some yummy new pics of Butterscotch.  So refreshing after two hot & humid days.

So sweet.

Plus a cutie one of my Dad taking a cat nap with her.  :-)

Enjoy.

YAY!!! Mom finally posted pics of her kitty for me to steal!

Some are a bit outta focus, man I wish I lived closer I'd be taking like a million shots of this little beauty.

Something to hold us over until the crisis is over in the cat cave (positive vibes to Theo & Jaye!)

Enjoy.

Edit:  I can't seem to get photos # 3 & # 4 to show up for some reason but they are viewable in my vox photo album.

Too bad since they're tres cute!

Anyway, sorry for the mishmash still learning how to do this whole thing.
