That’s right folks, this week is National Lexi Week! My fuzzy lil’ daughter turns 5 and we’re celebrating! The celebration consists mainly of balloons, streamers, a cake, and her taking extra long naps and playing with string. Oh to be a cat! Life, so simple!
So everyone, please join me in saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEXI!
I realize my presence on Jabloggy has been a little quiet, only posting once a week for the last few posts. Unfortunately, it might get worse before it gets better. See, it’s MAMAs season (Madison Area Music Awards) here in Madison, and I always gets pulled in several different directions at once during the next couple of months (le sigh…).
But after all the hub bub is over, I expect to be able to talk about a few new things for Local Sounds that we’re planning on debuting and promoting at the music awards. If all goes according to current plans it should be a good time (for us and maybe you too! don’t worry, we’ll share!).
In other news, I have to take back everything I said in the last post about Mac. I failed to mention that I was giving him a test drive last week. I took him out of the shelter as a foster parent to see if he and Lexi would get along. As (crappy) luck would have it, Lexi wasn’t overally keen on the idea of having a buddy around all the time. Plus after looking at the expenses incurred with a second child, I came to the conclusion that I would have to wait to expand my family. So last Saturday I had to take him back. It was sad, but I’m sure he’ll find a good home!
Over this past weekend we made an hour and a half trip up to my hometown so I could spend the five minutes setting up my parents’ new Wii (read the manual!). While we were there my other half had to stop by the humane society (again) to look at kitties so she could get one for her and her daughter.
Guess who left with one instead?
Everyone, please say hello to Mac, Lexi’s newest roommate and eventual new best buddy (right now she’s still on her hissing period). He is 6 months old and in serious need of a declawing! But so far he is the most playful, most cuddly cat I’ve ever had. Lexi used to be that way too, but I think her adult years have forbidden to behave that way anymore (I think she’s really just jealous of him being so much younger and free-spirited… he’s got the world on a string!).
I’m sure now that I have two cats that I will provide a few more interesting stories about them from time to time. As Lexi got older I stopped writing about her because she doesn’t do as much cute and fun stuff anymore except talk to me. I could write about her more, but it would be the same story “She did stuff today: slept… ate… pooped… stared out the window… repeat”.
And if you’re wondering, yes he’s intentionally named after the computer from which I write this post. (GEEK)
Yesterday I went grocery shopping (yay for food!) and I picked up a couple of cat nip toys for Lexi, feline of wonder. Well, as you may have guessed, the moment she got her paws on one (pun intended) she was freakin’ wiggin’ out the rest of the evening like a crack head chasing imaginary cars (or something). Huh, guess you had to be there….
