Feeling Blue!

But in a good way . . .
. . . because I was the lucky week #4 blog birthday winner over at Carrie's. I got a super cool blue-themed gift pack! I know Carrie is a tooth cleaner by trade, hence the gum, but she also included an awesome flickr card (how come I don't know how to do this??) which sports a picture of one of my favorite blog-dogs. Can you see Casey-Blue's eye's peeking out over the gum? He's just SO handsome. He makes Holli's knees - all four of them - weak.

It's on to Monday madness - dad is gone all week! Mmmmmm - noodles and cereal for dinner.

The Winner Is . . .

We had a little awards ceremony of our own this morning. Not as much drama as that show last night, but our presenter - a bit of a prima donna if you ask me.

Without further ado -

Our presenter licks the butter off the winner's card. It is standard language in her contract. If there are lines which she is required to read, they must be coated in butter for her to remain interested.

A quick look in to the audience confirms her worst fears. The winner is not present to accept her award and our presenter must improvise an acceptance speech.

"On behalf of carrie k, I accept this award for all the little people, and Hez. Is this my good side? I heard David Duchovny is going to be at the Purina "after party!" For sure I'm hitting the Eukanuba party - they always have the best food. Don't wait up, Mom. Is my limo here yet?"

Thank you for all the wonderful comments on my two years of blogging. Who knew! And Carrie, send me your mailing address; I'll be putting together a package of goodies just for you - and Hez!!

spell check is working!!

Twos

I spent a lovely evening last night knitting and catching up with my two friends, Jeanne and Chris. I had two problems weighing me down, things I needed friends to listen to, talk with me about, convince me I was ok - or at least on the right track. They did, they always do!

Jeanne had two surprises for me. While stash cleaning she came upon this beautiful silk cap. And while certainly not wanting to see me slip further down the dark, deep hole that is spinning, she felt I should have it.

Second surprise, all the way from the UK and the lovely Mrs. Pao, this unbelievably gorgeous skein of handpainted silk yarn. And this, my friends, is the most accurate color picture EVER!! Oh, she sent it in honor of my ........ birthday.

I get home, my two roommates are fast asleep and the house is nice and quiet. I checked my e-mail and find out I've sort-of won a contest! Over at Cathy-Cate's (two names), where my name for her beautiful fingerless mitt pattern, "Feather and Yarn", wasn't selected. But because it was "punny" AND the random number generator picked me - I won anyway - for two reasons!! Plus, I get TWO prizes!

All these twos started to pile up (I know - this is a stretch - but work with me, there is a payoff!). On a whim yesterday, I looked back to see when my first blog post was. Guess what?

Happy 2nd Birthday Little Blog!

Who knew all the things you would do

before you turned two.

Help us celebrate; blow out the candles with a comment (by February 15th) and Sammy will draw a name for a some goodies. Nothing that's been in the secret kitty lair - we promise. Thanks for coming along with us these past two years.

Furr-Prize!

Dear kmkat,

Your long-awaited prize package is finally in the mail. I had to find the proper sized box.
And then wait for the sedatives to kick in. I may have forgotten to include a return address on the package though.

He eats at 5:00 AM and 6:00 PM. And talks quite a lot. Enjoy.
