Tortie-tude! I love it, nothing like it. Wine coming your way!

And nice to have company... I am on bear patrol. A blackie hit the neighbor's garbage at 6:30a and now I am waiting for the waste guys to hurry up so I don't have to keep watching the garbage can at the end of my driveway!

Hey, I get that look from my calico all the time now since the kitten had been chewing on her hindparts. All I have to do is touch her and I get growled at and swiped. I have a wonderful picture of her being snarky on my blog. Cranky doesn't even begin to cover what her mood has been like lately.

Oh my God, she looks like my cat Baby, RIP.
Except she called us "stupid humans," and said things like, "Worship me, stupid human!" a lot. She was a total diva. God, I miss that cat!

ummmmmm casserole

Is it wrong of me to want to snuggle and snarf that kitty?! Even if I ahd to eat caserole afterward?

Mmmmm. Blinding BITCH Juice. . . .

LOL!
MMMmmmmm Southern Mourning Food.... I actually had to try and describe that to my born-in-Jersey-grew-up-in-North-Carolina husband. Oooh even us Southern Expats in So Cal have the BEST funeral food!!! Why can't we just play pretend funeral and get together with all that fabulous food without all the messy and sad dying part?

So, so cute! Wouldn't it be cool to be covered in fur?

Confession time Laurie . . . sometimes when I go to your site I use my bookmarks and sometimes I just type your url . . . more than once I've typed "www.crazycatlady.com" instead of "www.crazyauntpurl" . . . oops! But I mean it in the nicest way!

Ooohh! What horrendeous deed earned you THAT face??! I think my Kermit could take lessons from the Soba! MrrROWWWWRrrrrr!

Is that a 49-ers blankie?

We have a completely antisocial cat who gives us that look ALL THE TIME. Unless he's actually biting one of us.

He's a real gem.

Cabernet?

She is SO related to my cats. Except for Ed, who is related to Bob.

I get that look from Pan sometimes. He seems to think I'm not too bright, when I disturb him at times when he clearly wishes to be Left Alone. But sometimes he's so cute, I can't help myself. Must Kiss The Kitty!

Mailed off your blanket square this week. I'm looking forward to seeing the completed blanket(s)!

You want Char-don-NAY?

What is it with tortoiseshell cats and THAT look?
My Manx cats never do that.

You know who has wine? The Farmers Market!

Hey Soba - I've just posted a photo of your name on a railway bridge in Canterbury. Seems like you started your world domination in the UK!

I think even more than the weather, I'll miss funeral food now that I no longer live in The South.

My Bitch gives me that look all the time and I'm sure if she could she would rule the world!

Will you go to the LA County Fair for me? Sounds like fun but I'm in NC.

I've been craving red wine like crazy lately. Work/life stress will do that I suppose.

Tonight I will indulge. :D

Oh and I was going to take a picture of my knitting space, but I just sort of knit all over so I got confused and wander off to look at something shiny. huh.

Good luck with the week and don't let the kitties trip you and eat your brains!

*OtterHuggles*

I'm with psychomom: I LOVE casserole!

Would you hate me if I told you that I never had casserole till I was in my 30's? Still don't get it.

/hides

ahahahahaha THIS is why I read your site!

Can I tell you how I love this cat? I want to give it a big hug. Yes I realize I'd probably lose an ear and possibly an eyeball, but she just makes me want to love on her!! Lucky Roy.

That's the same look I get all the time from my thirteen-year-old daughter. Only much scarier.

My cat does the same exact thing! Puts one paw over her eyes to shield the annoying humans out.

wine?
casserole?
I'm so there!

suzi - anxiously awaiting the 500 MB post of all the Purl-ites knitting nirvanas.
:)

I'd totally snorgle Soba. The pain would be worth it!

I have wine. No casserole though. Will angel hair and red sauce do? Come onna my house. :)

I'd sleep with one eye open tonight, CAP.

My kitty (also a tortie) does that look too. But I always interpreted it as more of a, "I need rest, my public. Call me later!" kind of thing.

Pretty kitty - get your beauty sleep ;o)

I just so happen to have a glass of Chard going. I'd be happy to share. Work was crazy for me today, too! My brain is fried and I think my eyes are bleeding. Cheers, Laurie!!

Probably no wine for me until Sunday... I'm running a major overnight fundraiser this weekend, and need to keep my wits about me. I must say, I've got a nice bottle of Regaleali that seems to be calling my name. Maybe I'll bring it to share with the committee after we finish setup tomorrow night. (Maybe I won't share.)

Hope work gets better for you soon.

Tuna noodle casserole. With peas. And the yummy sauteed saltine cracker topping. With a side of homemade applesauce. Not that I've thought about this or anything.

Sorry about the double post. Rassin'frassin'hit-the-post-button-and-it-didn't.

Tuna noodle casserole. One of my favorite sister's favorite meals. What kind of wine do you sip with that?

Oooh, funeral food. Reminds me of the book "Sweet Potato Queens' Book of Love". Any of you read that one?

Ooh, I've been the recipient of that look m-a-n-y times over the nine years we've had cats :)

Who's the author of that book, Kat?

When one of our cats looks at me that way I pretty much think they are memorizing my face so they can scratch my eyes out late at night when it's dark.

Cookie- OOoooooohh, young lady, git yourself to a bookstore RIGHT NOW and buy "God Save the Sweet Potato Queens" by Jill Connor Brown and MAKE yerself a little bit of coronary-inducing heaven.
Really. YOu gotta.

I have just discovered your blog and are in love with it! I like to look at details of other people's homes and enjoy your writing..

Casserole? Nah. The church ladies I know in Georgia and Alabama would be whipping up some ham, fried chicken, potato salad, and red velvet cake. Well, that would be the first wave of food.

Casserols and dainties. Don't forget the dainties for God's sake! What's a heart attack without the sugar high?

You chose the wine, I'll save up for the trip. http://www.winesofcanada.com/her-wines.html

So, I live in Minnesota now, and apparently these "casserole" things of which you speak are actually called "hot dish" here. Some variety of starch, combined with some variety of meat. Then more starch. And starchy sauce. Might as well just eat the butter and flour by the spoonful.

Of course, I say this now, but in February, when I am freezing my a$$ off shoveling snow, one of those things BETTER be working in the oven when I get back inside...

Tuna noodle casserole (or any "butter and flour by the spoonful" tm Shelly) goes very nicely with this yummy Rhubarb White put out by Boyden Farms here in Vermit. It's light and refreshing and packs a whollop. What more can you ask from your alcohol?

Laurie, if you have not already seen this you have to watch it!

I fear it is our destiny... LOL

turn out the lights!!

Ya'll are scaring me. Can't I just stick to enchiladas or something?

Kitty bershon...

Cuppa Knitting To Go Capri Mint Julep

Have y'all seen this? Sure, it's acrylic, but it's for kids so maybe that's okay (plus I swear that the acrylic mittens my grandma made when I was a kid were 100% snow-proof). Check it out:

ummmmmmm enchiladas

green chile, chicken with a fried egg on top

I love that 'you die now human' look - I get it all the time. Just can't keep my hands off the furry little bastards especially when they're sleeping. Cats ROCK! So does casserole.

Why do people even like cats when they give such vicious looks? You never see a dog do that? Dogs are always happy to see their owner, with their tongues hanging out. Uh, is this the wrong forum to be writing this...?

Sugar

southern women of fortitude like you and myself are commonly referred to as "Velvet Hammers".....lovingly of course !!!

Sweetie - I would have let you use my darling little, boring but utterly reliable Toyota Corolla to visit Granny - just ask nextime!

Love and kisses,

My parents have a cat just like that, named Sapphire.

Ha! She looks so much like my little Nina...what an Ornery kitty...perfect.

Great site ya got here!
