I'm alive!

It's come to my attention that I've been a slug about posting and some folks are worried about me. Nothing's wrong, I'm just boring as heck and can't think of anything interesting to write about. My foot is mostly better- at least enough that I no longer have to wear the Boot, thank Deities. Unfortunately I had to buy some new shoes because my foot's still swollen. I had to go to an 11WW. It was bad enough being an 11W!!

This summer I have mostly been sitting around reading urban fantasy, watching TV, and have managed to see a couple of movies. Iron Man 2 was fun, though not as good as the first. Saw The Sorcerer's Apprentice which was cute-- it's been getting bad reviews but what do you want from a summer action flick with Nicholas Cage in it?? It doesn't take itself very seriously, the FX are good, and the two leads have good banter, so we liked it. I'm very happy that Eureka, Warehouse 13, and The Closer are back. Of the new summer series we've checked out Rizzoli & Isles, Haven and Covert Affairs, which all have various issues but are fluffy but entertaining enough to keep watching for now. Love the setting of Haven, it makes me think of Gus Knickle and Buried on Sunday which is a good thing. :D The weather's been miserably hot. I do not deal well with hot. I am not a happy camper.

Here are some pix of our small garden, hanging basket, and cats instead of actual content.


African daisies & some salvia.




"King Arthur" delphinium


Hanging basket with fuchsia, lobelia, and wishbone flowers.


A strawberry blossom


Balloon flowers "Sentimental Blue"

The cats:


Riku, without his tongue hanging out for once.


Sora likes to go outside on his harness, but hates the way the grass feels on his feet. He thought this was a great solution.

If you want to see more pix of the cats, flowers, and various birds, check out my Flickr Photostream.

Hey, good to hear from you.

Sora does look so much like the late Ollie-cat.....panda Siamese all the way. *g*

Thanks!

Judging by his size and personality, we think he's at least half Ragdoll, rather than panda Siamese, but we don't know for sure because whoever left him at the shelter didn't say. Whatever he is, he's a sweetheart. :)

Oh, your foot's still swollen? Ouch. It's amazing how long it takes to get over things sometimes. (I bruised my knee back in late May rather nastily and it's still hurting. I can't imagine how long it takes to get back to 100% from a break.)

Your kitties are adorable. :)

Yeah, he said it might take several months to get back to 'normal' Gah. It was hard enough finding shoes for my big feet before! Thank goodness for online specialty shoe places. I hear you about your knee... I twisted mine back in December and it sometimes twinges even now, months later. I hope your pain doesn't hang on so long.

My kitties ARE adorable, true. ;D Who's that in your icon?
