Great Flood - June 07

Oddly enough, Austin isn't having too many problems (yet) with all the rain we've gotten. Surrounding areas have flooded a lot. Houses moved, looters...it's craziness! No worries, i'm ok. Today it was actually sunny. It's the first time i've seen sun in about 4 days. Although, tonight it rained again. The kitties were able to go outside and roll around on the walk way.

That's really about all there is. My exciting life. Tonight is one of the first nights that i've been home. It's been nice.

Since I don't have anything in my courtyard but rocks and cats, here are some pictures of el gatos. I also went by Tam's to feed her cats while she's out of town and took some pictures of Noodle. Tam's Luna wanted nothing to do with me and the camera...she's mad Tam's gone. Typical cat behavior...

Noodle (top) & Luna (Tam's - Yes her cat is named after mine...i'm that trendy):


























Luna (mine) with her scary eyes (top) & Zoey - I think her self confidence is low because I couldn't get her to lift her head. We'll work on that...
















That's all of my cat spam...for now.

Swim Meets

I just got home from my first swim meet. I was a spectator...not a participant. Franny & Grace were having their swim meet. I was there at 8a and left around 3:45. They ended up placing in the top three which is awesome in my opinion. Out of the entire city. I realized today that I probably would've enjoyed swim team. I would have hated mornings but the swimming would've been fun. Kay and I sat there wishing we could swim as well as the 13 year olds do...

I am now home for another 15 minutes before I go to the Round Rock Express game with a group of friends for Reg's birthday.

I am so exhausted...

Catching Up

It seems like it's been awhile. In reality, only a week. I went to GA last Friday for Erin's wedding. I flew from Austin to Houston, sat in the Houston airport for 3.5 hours and then finally made it to Atlanta around 1:30a. To bed at 2:30a to wake at 9:30a. I didn't want to sleep away my day that I was there. Jill and I made some lemon fluff for father's day. I realized when I got home that we didn't even get a chance to eat it! All of us forgot about it in the garage fridge. Oops! The wedding was great. I love my friends. We went to a Tavern after the wedding and were exhausted an hour in. We went to Liz's and hung out for awhile. Liz and Mrs. O did the Shag to Beach Music. It's apparently HUGE in the Carolina's. Comparable to the two step in Texas. They do the Shag. Sunday I woke up and Kat was there. We hung out, got dressed and went to lunch for Father's Day. There were more games and then I had to leave. I sat in the Atlanta airport for 4 hours before that delayed flight left for Houston. Then I ran to my flight to Austin in Houston. It was a HORRID airport weekend. I haven't had that many problems in a really long time while flying. Needless to say, I was relieved to be home Sunday night. Although, I still miss my family and friends more than normal.

This week has been seemingly busy. Softball on Monday and Tuesday and when I came home on Tuesday Zoey was stagnant. She wouldn't move or come to me. She hobbled around and limped up the stairs. I called the vet on Wed. morning and made an appt. The doctor, who needed his thick leather gloves, examined her and as of now she has arthritis in her hip. She's on some sort of anti-inflammatory medicine to see if that's the culprit. If this doesn't work they have to sedate her to x-ray her hips. It seems to be working. She walks around and comes to me now. Which is a relief. I was pretty worried when she wouldn't move on Tuesday night. Poor thing's just old (only 7!!!) and a tidbit overweight (13 lbs). I've been the food police for awhile now, but once this medicine kicks in i'm going to have to talk to the vet about how she can drop some weight to help her poor body.

I am going to go upload wedding pictures now from this past weekend...

After the Storm

This is what the sky looked like when I came home tonight from my rained out softball game.

What I Should Be Doing

I should be packing. I have to get up early to get my dry cleaning and here I sit, uploading pictures of my new living room rug...

What I Did At Work

I realize I shouldn't be as proud as I am, but this is the first time i've attempted this. I hung pegboard today in the Lights Out room! It took awhile and some help from Ruth, but I got it built. SO HAPPY! And it's relatively level.
