Little cars good. Less gas. Glad to have you back today Laurie, I was beginning to think that a stapler got you on Monday.

My mom and I always fight over purse space in my car, with neither of us willing to use the back seat.

I was wondering what had happened to Drew, kept looking for some new pattern, but no...and your babies are beautiful as ever. I hope all is well. When are you coming up here? Bring your Dad? It is GORGEOUS right now. I've got some nice pictures if you want to see!

I was all like "Wow! Laurie took a picture with Ellen Barkin!" But no, much better, you took a picture with Aunt Pam! :-)

No internet access! What is this, a third-world country? Horrors! Glad he's okay.

Your mom and your aunt are just as cute as you! :-)

Starbursts has the Little Mermaid on their packaging? Now I gotta tell my daughter...

and just where is that photo taken? A 7-11? ;-)

Thanks for the PSA - we crocheters were getting a tad worried.

And I think you bear quite a striking resemblance to your Aunt Pam! You both seem to give the same camera face. Cute!

You never would've gotten the Dyson in that car.... it's a good thing you left it at home.

ps - watch out for poop on the carpet ;)

They totally deserve Annie Leibovitz. They are stars after all.

~~waving to Aunt Pam. Glad to meet you! And thanks Laurie, I was really getting worried about Drew.

Roy looks good! And so does Bob! Hi kitty kitties!

Thanks for the update on Drew. I've been missing his, um, humor.

Little cars are easier to park! I even lucked out and got a SWEET space becasue an SUV tried & tried but could nto get in!

Soba lets Bob be by Roy????????

What is this world coming to?

Kitties!

We all know you are bogarting the Drew. :P

Roy looks content! Love the fur on fur.

Your whole family is just so cute! AND!! I'm envious of Roy's beeeeeee-ay-UTE-iful blue eyes!

Is your aunt doing well in recovery?

Maybe you should change your email address, put an extra underscore in it or something? I know it would be a major nuisance, but then maybe all the servers would stop thinking you were the Evil Cat Spammer From Hell. (I was reading in our local rag today about debt-collecting scum who will go on trying to collect money from people who have shown them documentary proof that they are not the people who incurred the debt. Count your blessings.)

Love to Mom, Aunt Pam and the kitties!

Blonds have more funk :)

your mom does an excellent vanna impersonation.

a) Your butt is NOT that big. We've seen pictures. However, "cursingmama" is right the Dyson probably wouldn't have fit at least not with the cats, too.
b) Your mom and auntie are beautiful. You can SO see the resemblance.
c) I'm glad to have the update on Drew. No blog entries. No emails at CGOA message board. I was really getting concerned.
d) I absolutely LOVE when you post pictures of your babies. They just have such sweet faces.

Your clan is far to good for the likes of Annie Leibovitz.

Wow, you look just like your aunt!!!!! Beautiful pics of the beautiful kitties. I just love Roy. *sigh*

love to see Roy! glad to see he's doing okay these days! love the little car. my hubby just got back from LA and said that tiny cars were EVERYWHERE - his rental - a HUGE SUV (he's 6'7") but mostly he saw hybrids everywhere... wish we were that environmentally friendly here.

I'm groovin' on the furry cover the cats are laying on. Where does one get that? My three kittos would love to get their paws, bellies, and butts on that. Well, the kitten would like to chomp on it when he didn't have access to moving hindparts or necks coz the older two had had enough.

Hey there, Laurie. Glad you're still smiling after Gramma, 9/11, and hundreds of emails about Drew. But I notice that you and Aunt Pam are in the middle of the candy aisle!! Nope, I wouldn't be standing in the vegetable aisle, either.

Are you and Aunt Pam both blessed with brown eyes? So pretty -- and beautiful cheekbones. Shout outs to Mom and Aunt Pam!

Thanks for checking on the DUDE for us. I knew if anyone knew where/what/where he was it'd be you.
Several folks were getting in a mild panic.

Suri-scientology child huh?? yunz (pittsburghese) could just do it the old fashioned way.

You do not have a big butt. I need to see the purse in question before I can be impressed.

Ya'll are so cute and have wonderful skin!

Lovin' those kitties, and thank you for the Drew update, Auntie. I've been worrying about that one.

Damn. I was sort of hoping you HAD kidnapped Drew. Following the offspring of Crazy Aunt Purl and The Crochet Dude would be my favorite new reality show.

Love Bob, Love Roy!

Being one of the concerned crochet citizens emailing you in a panic, I'm so grateful that you posted. Yes, I was getting worried and I had to actually stop short of REALLY stalking the poor guy. LOL

Little cars = sore legs and cranky children/mommies. We leased one and now we are very sorry. The Orange County SUV is looking so roomy and not sore leggish or cranky.

You're joining the Catparazzi are you?

I do love how cats can fit so much disdain into their little furry faces.

Hooray for mom & aunt & kitty pictures!
p.s. your skin tone - wow (covet, covet, covet)

my ass is so big and my car so small, that my purse gets strapped to the roof.

a little car actually makes a person's ass look smaller (why i drive a bug)

Aw - I just love Roy! Hope he is doing better now.

PLUG - PLUG - PLUG!!!

I've started to shop for Christmas (I know -- slap me), and I decided that this year I'll be knitting gifts for many friends and relatives (small gifts, forgiving people). I also decided that my knitting in itself is not so great, so I'm going to give small presents to go with the small knits.

Well, my stars and garters! I purchased three of the CAP coffee mugs, and I am so pleased with them. I have always loved that knitting lady in your logo, and she now has your wit and way with a mug of coffee (or refreshment of choice). Nice hefty mugs, too. Tuck some way cool (heh) knitted coasters inside the way cool mugs and I'm set.

Course, there are about a billion other friends/family that I have to do something for at Christmas... But, hey, it's Christmas! I'll still be out there on 12/24, wishing I'd bought more mugs.

Thanks, Laurie.

You and your Aunt are after my heart...you like to hang out in the candy aisle like me!

A beautiful blonde family! I'm glad you got to spend time with them. Roy and Bob are looking so huggable and cutable! :)

As in cute-able, not cut-able! Cuties!

Annie Leibovitz?? First the bacon, now this. Roy is becoming a superdiva. Hmmph.

Hi Sweetie!
Glad you're back with us...and yes, while I'm guessing niether you or Drew are inclined to do so, I'd adore to see your genes combined. That would beat the cruise child hands down!
I love the pics! Roy is looking fine.

Love your blog and your kids

PLEASE CONSIDER TURNING YOUR BLOG INTO A BOOK - YOU WRITE INCREEDIBLY WELL AND your blogs about your divorce made me laugh and cry....A BOOK!!!!

Beautiful blondes and cats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And we all know how glamourous blondes (like Marilyn) love their furs! There is definitely a resemblance among your family members!

Wow, Aunt Pam does look like Ellen Barkin.

I *heart* Roy. Love the Bob. Love the fur on fur action.

You three (the non-furry ones) are gorgeous. You must cause quite the stir when toolin' around together!

As for Drew, he's probably still recuping from his brush with fame. You know how it is, DAH-ling!

I want to join the I Love Bob club.

OK, I'm not the only one that noticed you and Pam in the candy aisle. Phew!

The fur throw under the fur throws is FABULOUS...

Pshaw... we all know that Drew is hanging out with Roy and Bob... lovely photos, thanks for sharing!

I love how the kitties have that "I'm too cool for all this" look on their face. Roy, Bob's got your back...

Love the cat pictures. And there's no way all the stuff you had wanted to take would have fit into the rental.

love the cats! love your mom! love your aunt pam! hm...yes, i believe she does look like ellen barkin! amazing isn't it, at how huge those cars can get?! have a great day!
:o)

Love that you and Aunt Pam are in front of the candy! That's where all pictures of me should be taken since I'm a candy freak!

It's true. Everyone in OC has big, new SUVs. Or, nearly everyone, anyway.
My daughter's grandma was telling me that she was going to get a SUV so that she could cart home her purchases. You know... once a year when she buys a TV or something that won't fit in her backseat.

I told her just to CALL ME and I'd help her. *I* need an SUV (Saturn Vue) because I have to cart around a gajillion folding tables and huge rubbermaid bins weekly. SHE does NOT need one.

I'd have bought a smaller car if I could get away with it. I cannot... so I bought the smallest one I could that still fit my needs.

Of course, driving in a small car in the OC really makes you feel tiny, insignificant and easily overlooked. Not that anyone in OC really cares if they overlook anyone- they'd just as soon cut you off while they're kids watch cartoons in the backseat so the parents don't have to talk to them. Hey... I grew up there. I can diss it if I want.

Hee - I love your captions under the kitties' unimpressed faces. So perfect! And did you see the new Suri pictures - she's sooo beautiful!

Hey cats over at C.A.P.'s house..........sucks to be you eh?
Man are those cats reclining on fur coat?

Yo cats you guys are like spoiled or somthing.
You must all pay in cuteness. Smile,click click.
Say "salmon"

Aunt Pam looks like so much fun!

Hmmm. The expression on Bob's face in that first photo leads me to think that Roy may have been experiencing episodes of gastric distress.

You three ladies are soooo cute. Too much cute for one family. And I love Bob's contentment ears and eyes. (Whom did Sobakowa make the fur throw out of?)
