Plant Progression
the other pictures i have are of the new plants. my strawberries were started already with roots and stuff, like a bulb. and tomatoes which were seeds. hopefully they last long enough for me to put them outside when its warm.

Kitty Adventures
alright. i have a lot of pictures to share, so im gonna separate them into 2 posts.
first off (sarah), we moved the turtle tank stand into position this past weekend and put the big glass tank on it to see how it would look. there are some adjustments that need to be made to the filter, so we didnt set it up completely. no water, no turtles. however, because the cats have had free range of the tank and stand since they were moved here, they decided it was just a new cat jungle-gym. even though i tried to show roland that the tank was on the stand, he DID jump up and whacked his head against the glass, then slowly slid off the stand, trying desperately to hold on. it was kinda sad. we moved a chair near by so this wouldnt happen again. unfortunately, the blanket on top of the tank (so they could see it from afar) did not deter them. they simply jumped onto the blanket and slowly sank in. once inside, they had a lot of fun:
before bed, justin and i had to take the tank down. we had moved the chair hoping it would stop play time. but octavian still managed to get inside and roland sat on the counter meowing loudly, staring at his brother because he couldnt get in too.

Kitty with abandonment issues drives Sarah nuts
After two days with me, Fenway has decided he can't live without me.
Hence, any act of abandonment up to and including my leaving the house, is considered to be an act of betrayal and is to be met with extreme behavior, including but not limited to frantic crying, throwing himself at the blinds of the window until they are destroyed and, failing my return at that point, throwing himself at the window.
He purrs neurotically whenever I come home, touch him, or look at him.
He has taken to climbing into the fridge every time I open the door, attempting, I think, to help me make dinner.
He sleeps with me, and if I get up to pee, he has to come with and guard the door. If I sit at the table, he has to sit on the next chair. If I type on the computer, he has to touch the keyboard, and if I watch Battlestar Galactica, he stares at the screen.
He squints a lot and I think he is near-sighted.
Cruiser thinks he is an embarrassment to the name of cat, but he tolerates him just fine and seems happier to not be alone.
We are a weird little family.
Love,
Sarah the crazy cat lady

Nothin Much To Say Lately
Things are fine with me... I have a lot of stuff to do and I've been procrastinating like crazy lately. This makes me stressed out but I do it to myself. Everything else is normal.
Did you get your cat, Sarah? How are he and Cruiser doing together?
Chelsea and I made chai pancakes this past Saturday and they were ohhh so delicious. Tons of flavor. If you like chai and pancakes the recipe is here:
http://www.joythebaker.com/blog/2009/03/chai-spiced-buttermilk-pancakes/
Right now im sitting at work drinking a sweet tea and thinking i'd rather just surf the web all day than do any real work. That's the evil procrastinator-jill trying to get out. get back in there and shut up! no, i'm not listening to youuuu... lalalala lalala
My lilies in the front yard are peaking their little green heads out of the ground but it was really cold last night and it's 26 in downtown Albany as I type this. Brrrr
Can't wait for SPRING!
Love yas,
jill

Birth Announcement
Ok, not really. But I may have found the newest member of our family. I have been trying to decide on a cat (there are many options) and was pretty sure I had until I met this guy. I walked into the room and he immediately rubbed on my legs, then jumped in my lap, then let me hold him like a baby and rub his tummy, then fell asleep on me. He is goofy and playful and also a little regal and friendly. He's kinda weird-looking, very soft, and basically, I think we were made for eachother. Also, his name is Fenway.
I am going to email his foster mom tomorrow and let her know that I will be ready to adopt when I get back from Florida. If he gets along with Cruiser, he stays. If not, then we'll have to try something else.
xoxo

Ask and you shall receive
This is me and Pedro, just chillin'.
He jumped onto my shoulder and then kind of climbed all over my chest. The somewhat dubious smile had to do with smiling for the camera despite how close his butt was getting to my face.
