happy winter!

here are the most recent images from my life.

yesterday chris called me on his way to work to tell me about the above situation. i'm really not sure if this was just a casualty of bad winter driving, or if somebody just took advantage of conditions and exacted revenge upon the usps mailbox and grand rapids press box... I can certainly understand if that were the case.

this is piscin's new favorite place to sit. look at her. she thinks she owns the place!

and while this isn't a picture from this afternoon, she's meowing, which is the lead in for my next story. so this afternoon I'm recording some vocal parts. I've got the headphones on, I'm singing nice and loud (as if I were in a gang, one might say...) and all of a sudden I feel (and hear) piscin behind me. SHE IS PISSED. she's rubbing her head on me, biting my elbow, and basically yelling at me to SHUT UP. this occurred once before in our not too distant past, when I tried to learn how to play the penny whistle. she was NONE too happy about that, and attacked my neck from behind, trying to bat the thing out of my mouth... from behind... (i guess she's not that smart) or just trying to claw me to pieces to get me to stop. needless to say, as I listened to the recording today, you can TOTALLY HEAR HER MEOWING. it's ridiculously funny :)
mr. chris makes some friends!!! this is at dwight and jenny's house a couple weekends ago. emmet found a new place to lounge, chris' shoulders, and daisy might be a little jealous.
also while at dwight and jenny's, I learned about emmet's other favorite place to perch.... the cabinet ABOVE the kitchen counter. seriously. if you don't own a pet, you're missing out.
the other fun thing about owning pets... dressing them up! here's daisy in a jacket that makes her look like a boxer pre-fight, while brandy watches. there's a couple more pictures that blogger won't let me upload tonight, so I'll add them later.

but seriously. pets are a hoot.
