it is almost winter.... which can only mean...


we have mice again.

oh and didn't we have an exterminator come three times last year? yes.

and didn't we lay traps and try to warn the rest of the mice family not to mess with us this year? yes.

well, they are back which was evidenced by the hole in the stacy's pita chip bag and the half eaten brazil nuts in my pantry.

good thing we have a live-in exterminator this year................ stay tuned............ #mousewatch2012

Marlene

Sunday funday. Lo and I woke up this beautiful Sunday morning, walked to Starbucks to grab a drink, and then home for some lovely homemade blueberry wheat pancakes.

Last night, we had dinner with some friends before they move back to London. We were shown a video that I have posted below, and I honestly believe the person who made the it kept Marlene for a few weeks. The cat in the video acts EXACTLY like our UK kitty (except for the ending..you will understand after you see it).

Enjoy the day. Lo has some major posts to write very soon.

POW

My job has a few perks. I have met the Prime Minister. I have met the Foreign Secretary, William Hague. But yesterday, I had the great honor of meeting and speaking to the Prince of Wales. Not to brag (hehe), but it was awesome. Just a few pictures to share....


Just a little curtsy...


Can I meet Prince Harry please?


Oh yea... that's the back of my head.


Listening... staring... smiling...

That's all.

Marlene & Me Part II

Still not much interaction with Marlene. Except for at 5:01 A.M., 5:47 A.M., 6:13 A.M., and 7:29 A.M. That is when she decided it would be funny to come jump on the bed, meow like a crazy person, and tap my face or hand with her paw. Yes, she a tapper. On a normal morning, I would already be up and at the gym, but it's Bachelor week, and that means hitting the snooze button and not caring.

After her 4th meow yelling/paw tapping debacle, I decided I should get up and shower. I sat up and the cat disappeared. I didnt see her the rest of the morning. I didn't get much sleep last night because I thought Marlene was going to shit and piss all over my apartment. Luckily, she remembered where the pooper tub was located. With it being recess on Capitol Hill, I am able to run home for lunch. I also thought it would be nice to say hello. That didn't happen. I called her name, looked under the couch, the chair, the closets, under the bed, and any where else I could think. No sign of the black cat.

After work, I came home and for almost an hour, searched the normal places, while calling the cats name in English and British a thousand times. At this point, I started getting worried. What if on the first full day, I lost the damn cat. Typical of me. Then out of no where, she jumped out of the closet and figuratively scared the shit out of me. After that, she ran off and has been running away from me ever since.

She is currently sitting on the chair giving me the evil eye. Maybe one day she will want more. Until then, she runs.

See the cuddly Marlene here.

Marlene & Me

Today is the first day Marlene joined our family. She is an adorable half English/half Scottish black cat, who is staying with us for a couple of months, until she is able to hop over to the UK with her real parents. Until that time comes, she will be with us. Which only means a lot of stories. Right now, she doesn't like me. That is fine. I totally understand. I don't like many people in the beginning either.

Earlier this afternoon, Marlene arrived with her luggage including play pen, fishing sticks, fake mice, goldfish, and a year's supply of Whiskas Purrfectly Chicken and Fish, Friskies Gravy Sensations, and of course, basic dry cat food. A girl's gotta eat, right?

Well since our first enactment, I have seen Marlene all of 5 minutes. Things were turning when she decided she wanted to lay on the couch with me. That quickly ended when a massive thunder storm decided to ride through Capitol Hill. I haven't seen her since. I have tried to make her life as normal as possible. Hopefully it will start working soon.

The night should be interesting. I hope she remembers where I put the tidy cat pooper tub.

Until Next Time......
