My Very First Blog Entry...

So, here I am blogging away! Woo Hoo! I will attempt to entertain you all by talking about my newly acquired obsession with knitting, mothering 2 fat cats, loving & living with a law student, loafing around until I begin school in October, trying to improve my photography (dare I say?) skills, & recovering from a work related injury that has changed my life forever!

I taught myself to knit a few months ago. I have taken a couple of classes at one of the many super cool LYS's. You can see my knitty-ness by clicking on my flickr badge at the left. In the short time that I have become addicted to knitting my yarn stash has managed to multiply like bunnies ... Kind of how my fabric stash exploded very very shortly after I learned to sew. hmmm... Am I this compulsive with everything? Uh... Yeah!

Today I will introduce you to the oldest member of my family (oldest in cat years). This is Otis, he will be 10 next week. He is a Maine Coon Mutt. He is a Leo (obviously!!). He enjoys long walks through the litter box, being brushed while watching "Law & Order", wool blankets, his squeaky toy, who is a dead ringer for himself (pix to come), & tucking Chris & I into bed at night. He also enjoys ice cubes in his water bowl on a hot day. Otis is super sweet, & very delicate for an 18 lb cat. He is the epitome of terms like "fraidy cat" & "gentle giant".
Tomorrow we will meet the wonder that is Rosco.
