Puh..ppuh..put 'em up!

C'mon! I can fight ya with both paws tied behind my back!

Here is your weekly kitty picture.

You're welcome.

Love/Hate

Love performing.

Hate memorizing lines.

Got to take the good with the not so good sometimes.

Variations in Tie-Dye

Tie-Dyed for the first time since high school or college.

At any rate it has been a long time.

Felt it was time to teach the children a new skill.

All were pleased with the outcome of their experiment with dye and rubber bands.

Just Hanging Around

At the park.

I like the sunbeams.

Puzzling

Working on a puzzle that will look like the cover of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover.

Oh S%$#!

So.....anyone know how to get ballpoint pen ink out of the inside of a dryer?

I Coulda Used a Lasso Today

I have been so productive this week, but tonight I hit the wall.

Tonight, I watch TV and drink milk out of a Wonder Woman glass.

Tomorrow, I pick up where I left off.

I Sense a Theme Here

Three guesses about what we are doing this week at Chez Babble.

As always the first two don't count.

Hott!

My man has a vacuum and he knows how to use it.

Notice the furniture polish on the dresser next to him.

He used that too.

Whew! Is it hott in here?

Grooming Time

BH asked if I was becoming the lady who only takes pictures of her cats.

NO!

Just today.

Sad that I managed to cut off most of one cat's face, but I liked the grooming action captured here.

I had a title for this shot that was funny, but sadly would likely send all sorts of the wrong kind of hits to my blog.

Cookie Cookie Cookie Starts with C

I had not done any food photography yet, so naturally I thought, "My first food photo should be of the prepackaged break and bake cookies we made tonight."

Not as good as my Kick Ass Chocolate Chip Cookies, but will do in a pinch.

Now I am off to eat!

Tats and Chucks

It took me about 400,000 shots before I got one that I kind of sort of liked.

I don't like that the colors of the Tats and Chucks are not obvious here, but other shots were too shadowy.

Anyway I guess now my secret is out. I am a Chucks wearing tattooed lady.

Glimpse

Most of you know I am a therapist

I work primarily with children and families.

When I am working with a young child I draw faces as seen in this picture to help the child identify and express emotion. The child circles the face(s) that best represent how they are feeling that day.

This picture shows how I am feeling today.

Not the Recommended Dosage

This pile of pills represents the amount of Ibuprofen I felt like taking to combat my headache.

In reality I only took 3.

Unfortunately the headache continues, worse than before the medication.

Thus concludes my whining session.

Feel free to carry on with your regularly scheduled business.

Fuzzy on Fuzzy

So winter decided to appear today.

I chose to respond by putting fuzzy socks on over my regular socks, then encasing those socks in my super fancy fuzzy Christmas slippers.

Then I chose to take a suggestion by Anonymous and shoot in A mode.

Wonder what tomorrow's photo will bring....

Crafty

#1 and I decided that we needed a craft night.

Here is what I worked on

Here is #1's project

#1 isn't too fond of having her picture taken, so we'll just include her sweet, now nearly adult sized hand.

Indecision

Since it apparently is never going to actually be winter here in the Sunflower State, we decided to take advantage of the 60+ degree weather today and do a little hiking.

I remembered to bring my camera and took a crapload of photos.

I had some trouble deciding which one to post today.

So I asked BH to choose.

He had trouble and suggested I put it to FB for a vote.

None of the photos have gotten more than one vote so far, so I decided to post more than one shot today.

So here are the vote getters:

Now I put it to my 3 blog readers to give their two cents!

39!

BH turned 39 today.

This is his impression of #1 when people sing, "Happy Birthday."

We try not to let very many teasing opportunities go by without recognition here at Chez Babble.

HBD BH!

The Road is Long

That "Mood" I referred to earlier this week?

I hold it responsible for the long road of laundry that I must fold.

Sadly this doesn't show what is in the dryer or what is ready for the washing machine.

This is what my weekend looks like.

Hope yours doesn't include a long road of unfolded laundry.

EXCITED!!

Someone, we'll call her #2 is super excited because she was cast in a local community theatre production!

Losta theatre goins on at Chez Babble these days.

This was the photo I wanted to take yesterday, but got sidelined by "THE MOOD."
