Two Metal Heads

Jesse managed to get a t-shirt on KD and I snapped the picture. This picture is so funny!

Small Spaces

This is a picture of our kitty Boo in the cupboard of the buffet. She has always loved being in boxes and bags. Anytime we have a bag on the floor she crawls in it. I happen to have one of the doors to the buffet open and she jumped in. (By the way, Boo will be 8 1/2 years old in April and Bella will be 8 in September. I didn't realize they were that old.)

My handiness

I'm a handywoman. I love building/putting together things. I probably got this from my dad, since I helped him a lot when I was young out in the "shop". I put together furniture by myself. It gives me a challenge and a sense of accomplishment.

Plinky

In the Blogger Buzz news it shared about Plinky. It's this website sort of like Twitter that prompts you with questions and you give your answers. It's a conversation starter, and gives you things to think and blog about on your blog in case you get "writer's block" when blogging, which I know I sometimes do. As you can see one of the questions was what is your favorite movie line. I chose to answer this question because I love movies and Jesse and I are always quoting from Rush Hour. You can also submit a question for others to answer. It's pretty fun. If you guys want to sign up for Plinky or learn more about it, it's in the blogger buzz news section of your blogger. Enjoy!

My favorite line from 'Rush Hour'

Wipe yourself, you dead.

an opportunity

I work at City Hall. There are several offices in this building, one of them being our City Manager's office. When I went to orientation 8 months ago for my new job, our City Manager, Pat spoke at our orientation. He had us talk about ourselves and our interests. One of the things I shared was that I love animals and would love to be an animal cruelty investigator or work with animals. Today, he came through our office and he still remembers me and he always remembers me as the animal lover. He told me that the Humane Society is moving to a new facility and it's bigger and will be opening in about 4 months. He said he knows people there and could hook me up...it got me interested in possibly volunteering there. The Humane Society relies on public donations only and they could use all the help they can get. I might see if I can volunteer a few weekends a month and I bet I might be able to recruit Jesse too. I know doing something like this would be challenging and would take me a bit out of my comfort zone, but I love challenges and learning new things. And, oh, it's a chance to make a difference to creatures who desperately need our help. Check back for future updates on this.
