CATCHUP: Photos and mini memories

Work's been busy, and there's just TOO many things to catch up on. One way of handling this would be something that Nofo would do (and which I like) which is bolded, bulleted nuggets of blah-blah-blah. The only difference is that mine won't be all nice and neat because I'm totally putting lots of pictures... for those who don't like reading (i.e. those who have skipped reading this rambling and are now just looking at the pictures)... so, with no further...

Camille and Quave's visit. This is the fourth year in a row that my little sister's come to visit me for her Spring Break. In 2004, she came with two girls and a guy, 2005 was with four guys, 2006 was with one girl, and this year it was one guy. It was another fun visit, though busy with work too:

Holiday Cards 2006. I managed to finally get to those Holiday cards out. I wasn't sure whether or not I could "just send a photo" with a message on the back or if I had to send it with an actual card card with the photo. As a compromise, I used mounting corners to attach the photo to a half-page of heavy(er) card stock paper:

The Cats. Yeah, they're are still alive. The food station, the litter box, even the slow-growing pile of mail pretty much look the same each time I go over there, which has been pretty much everyday. My visits were initially relatively quick and the cats became more affectionate (read: "needy") so I've tried to spend more time with them. I was having a difficult time adjust to a sleepover (being headbutted by the cats (okay, just Nala) throughout the night) so as a compromise (and it seemed to work tonight), I took an hour-long nap on the couch with Nala, then watched Grey's Anatomy (real-time) with StinkyPants snuggled up against my leg. So yay: relaxing and quality time:
