Awesome cat.
This freaks both me (who can't stand having water run down my face, or seeing it on others) and my cats (who would love to drink straight from the faucet, but run from a drop of mist hitting their back).

not that it's the least bit important, but i've been shearing my friends list a bit (not done, it's taking awhile, there were over 300 people to start). it's not a "oh my god i don't like you" or "you are so noooot entertaining" thing. it's just that there are a bunch of people who don't appear to be active (they haven't posted in years) so it seems unnecessary to keep up the connection. if by some chance i have cut someone who actually is active, i can add you back.

Fashion Fall O9
MAJOR shopping spree. Did NOT go to Nordy's I went to Stein Mart. Got everything you see in the outfit but the boots are taller and the purse is PERFECT and I already had the scarf from Paris. I'll wear it tonight to Back in Black. Oh the belt - the belt hooks together with Pheasant feathers!!!! It is wide like this one. I have gained weight but hubby says I'm just approaching a healthy weight.
:)
Denim leggings is a GOOD idea.

Metal
More leaves are turning brown and yellow and red. Autumn's rustic colors. This year a reddish brown is even appearing on a building. The building didn't turn color. It's just that it didn't have any walls until a couple of days ago, and when the walls went on they suited the season perfectly. The building is just beyond my back fence, and is an enormous skyscraper. Well, by comparison to most buildings around here it's an enormous skyscraper. It's a three-car garage with an extra-high ceiling to accommodate an RV. It's the reason a few trees were taken out of that yard a few months ago.
It will serve the double-wide mobile home (aka peckerwood palace) the occupants of which have heretofore made do with the shiny, corrugated metal-skinned two-car garage which has provided me with so much autumn entertainment as a percussion instrument for the oak trees that loudly drop acorns on it. The new, larger garage also has a metal skin, though not of shiny galvanized steel. It has the reddish-brown metal, probably an extruded aluminum product, on its walls, and a tasteful off-white metal for its roof.
The roof went on today, and so far I haven't heard what the acorns can do with it. The oaks have fewer branches overhanging the new garage than they have over the old one, so the new one might turn out be only a minor player in the acorn orchestra despite its considerable size. I hope there's a bit of wind soon. I fear that most of this years bountiful acorn crop has already dropped, and I might have to wait for the next year that brings a big acorn crop to hear the full potential of the new roof. That might be quite some time, as many years the oaks here produce only small crops.
Sadly, that's the most interesting thing that's happened here in ages— that is if you don't count the fires last year or the various dramas created by the aged parents. I'm not counting those because I'd rather forget about them. Anyway, hooray for metal roofs. Without them I'd have even less amusement than I do.

Weird question and a random request!
So, I have kind of a weird H1N1 vaccine + breastfeeding question that I think goes at the top of my all-time most squicky questions.
( H1N1 Vaccine and milk swapping? )

In other news- I'm running a 5k tomorrow morning. Involving obstacles and a pineapple. Unfortunately, I'm subbing for a coworker, and for some reason, they didn't apply her fundraising to me. We were all supposed to raise $50 by tomorrow- and a very generous and awesome friend already donated $35- but... I didn't realize this until tonight... so I'm way behind everyone else :(
The money will go towards Leukemia and Lymphoma research; while I don't have any particular friends or family who have suffered from that cancer, most of you know Carl's mom died of breast cancer, and so I'm very happy to raise money for any kind of cancer research (in hopes that any progress may be applicable to other cancers as well). So, if you have a spare $5 or $10 or $15, I would greatly appreciate it! You can donate here:
Don't Grapple with Our Pineapple ;)
Carl is on call this weekend, so I'm hoping that he'll be able to come watch the finish line and take pictures... but if anyone else is going to be around Magnuson Park tomorrow with a camera- my team is starting the race at 9:50 :)
And because I'm slow, we probably won't get to the finish line until noon ;) Or, actually, probably 11ish. But whatever, there's food after. Wish me luck, because I'm going to need it. I am still in pretty sad shape; can only run for five minutes at a time with 90 second-2 minute breaks. :(
(I am also a little worried about how I'm going to manage to keep from getting, uh, bursty... if Carl isn't able to come with the baby. She has some pumped milk at home, but I will not have anything to relieve myself until I get back. Hmm. We'll see.)
