Can you see that? Can you tell who came to visit a couple of days ago? Yeah it’s a bobcat.
We get a lot of bobcats around here. They freak me out a little cos sometimes they get too close for comfort. Like this dude. He lounged in my back field all afternoon – at one point sitting on a rock like he was king of the world, sunning himself. When I took his pic I chased him off for a while. Then he came back.
Funny how when he was around, my cats were gone. Invisible. I’d love to know where they hid. I don’t blame them. This guy wasn’t as big as some of them I’ve seen but he’d definitely take my cats out no prob.
Ah livin’ in the country. Ain’t it grand?

My printer died. It had lived a long (for a printer) life and it was time to get a new one. After seeing the ultra cool all in one Kodak printer on The Celebrity Apprentice (yes yes I watched it but I quit – it got REALLY stupid), I decided I wanted it. The ink cartridges are cheap and the amount they print is over double of the average printer.
Sunday armed with my children, we went printer shopping. I couldn’t find the model I wanted anywhere (sold out) and I ended up buying the display model at Office Depot.
Big mistake.
What a POS! I did everything I was supposed to, troubleshooting it until I couldn’t troubleshoot it anymore and I flat out couldn’t make the black ink work. So I took it back.
And went to Best Buy and bought the even bigger and badder model with no problems. It’s sitting next time as we speak, all pretty and shiny and ready to print out the partial I’m sending out tomorrow. Yay!
One word of advice – Never buy the display model. They suck.
Painting progress: The bathroom is going well! I would say in two days I’ll be finished. I have to do it in shifts ‘cos it needs to be done in layers and I have to let the layers dry. So a couple of hours over the next few days and I’ll be done! And pics will be shared, don’t worry…

So I’ve wanted to paint my third bathroom for a long time. Like I planned on doing it back when youngest didn’t even exist and my daughter was an INFANT. Remember this is the girl who just turned five.
Yeah, I’ve waited long enough.
Hub is out of town so me and the kids went shopping today! First I bought a printer (ok and that was a total fiasco and should be saved for another blog post, how ’bout tomorrow since the saga continues?) and then we went to Lowe’s. Yay! We bought paint! Three gallons, three different colors. One for the bathroom, one for the laundry room and one for the office.
The bathroom is going to be…wait for it…yes okay…purple! Well, it’s called Raspberry Wine. Oooh, that means Feisty will like it cos not only does she like purple, but she also likes wine. Sorry couldn’t resist…
I just started painting. It’s going to take many layers to get that deep wine color I want. Plus I’m painting a very small room and there’s no window. Gaaah. This is why I’m writing this blog right now. I’m letting the toxins clear from my nasal passages.
I’ll share pics when I’m done, I swear!
So what are YOU doing right now?

So the kids and I went on a walk a couple of days ago and I took my camera with me. Here’s a tree in our back field:
While we were waaaay out there Cheetah the cat saw us and came running at us meowing like crazy. I think he thinks he’s human. Here he is posing:
And telling us how he really feels:
Hope you have a fabulous weekend!
