It's Complicated

Sketches

Husband has commandeered my scanner for the job search so I haven't been posting sketches and art (what little there has been) to the blog. But what the hey, I have a camera. So here are photos of two cat sketches from last week, and one baby sketch from December.

Bad Cats and Music

Oh my gosh, I feel like I haven't slept in three days! Now that the cats have had a taste of spring they have cabin fever and I am harassed all night long! I don't even think they know what they want from me half the time, but they want me awake in case they figure it out. I've tried locking them out of the bedroom but the noise of their incessant clawing on the door is actually harder to sleep through then when they are clawing my flesh (which doesn't feel great but is pretty much silent.)

(((yawn))) Not feeling good.

In other news, I'm making good progress on Beethoven's Pathetique. Have I mentioned lately how much I love my keyboard? Definitely one of the coolest presents I have ever gotten. It's the Casio wk-200 and it comes programmed with dozens of tutorials that break the music down into tiny parts, and break those down by left hand and right hand. I think anyone could learn to play the piano with this thing! After I make it through a couple more tutorials, I'm going to try to learn how to read music. I'm totally intimidated by sheet music, but since most of the tutorials are abridged versions of the songs, I will have to learn how to read music if I want to play the entire pieces (either that or learn to play by ear, yeah right!)

Hope everyone has a safe and happy Tuesday!

Lamp Bathing

Piper loves to sit under a lamp and catch some rays. For the full effect she'll even stick her head under the lamp shade and get in close. Yes, this is the cat who has set herself on fire twice.

Jojo and Piper

Exhausted

I'm getting over a touch of something or other and it's left me utterly pooped! I'm sure looking forward to hitting the sack tonight. Not much to blog about at the moment but here are some recent kitty pics.

Piper and Jojo under the table.

Mother and Daughter

Piper hoping that I'll hurl something, anything, across the room so she can chase it.

Meanwhile, Jojo is doing what Jojo does best - chillin'.

Keeping Warm

Piper

Pardon me, but I do believe it is time for my daily can of wet food.

Tory (aka Garage Kitty)

All most visitors have seen of our fourth cat, Tory, is a fuzzy blur scrambling for cover. Here's what she looks like when she's not zipping around, pin ball style.

Sugar, Aft and Fore
