Today was a day of firsts at casa tiggerprr! The first day of school for the kids, my first day of work at my new job where I love my co-worker (me! I’m alone in the office. Though I do have a maintenance man who reports to me, I don’t see him.) and the first day that the cats have had the house to themselves all summer.
I have an admission, I am not as together as it would seem (or that Yoshi thinks I am - don’t ask me why he does, I don’t know either). I have piles of crap, magazines, free stuff I order, and various whatnot sitting on the floor right in front of the loveseat that I do my computer work from.
I looked down and saw this today in the mix and it made me chuckle:
Ashlyn (of course) instigated this, by pondering whether or not she could lick her own elbow while we were winding down dinner. Then Kenzie and Coby got into the act. Ashlyn swears that Kenzie has a Gene Simmons tongue, but I kind of think that Ashlyn was the closest to actually licking her own elbow. Ashlyn says that she is determined to accomplish this feat via lots and lots of practice.
Yes, my family is very strange.
Yoshi and I were testing out using Skype for our upcoming podcast we’re starting. Yes, tiggerprr will soon be able to be heard as well as seen on the internets, along with Yoshi, Cybrpunk, Melanie of Plaid Toaster and a bunch of other people Yoshi knows.
So OC, was sleeping on my lap while we were talking. Apparently, Yoshi and I were laughing a lot (as we tend to do) and it annoyed OC so much he did this:
You should have seen the look he gave me as he got up off the couch though. LOL
Today, we had a hair salon trifecta! Ashlyn, Kenzie (my stepdaughter, for those of you who don’t already know that) and I went and spent half the morning and a good portion of the afternoon at the hair salon getting purtied up.
Kenzie had realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly long hair and decided for a really drastic change. In fact, she had 12 inches cut off and we’re going to be sending it in to Locks of Love. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the program, they make hair pieces for children who through some unfortunate disease or circumstance do not have hair, either permanently or temporarily (as with chemo). So not only did she get a fresh new look today, she did her good deed for the day by providing hair for another child who doesn’t have their own.
What’s that green spot to her right you ask? It’s tape! We finally got irritated enough with the builder, and it’s 2 weeks away from the one year warranty deadline to report issues. I sent them a certified letter, and voila! I have a squillion contractors swarming upon our home today “fixing” stuff.
So you could say, that today’s photo has a double meaning.
