She Misses the Kids

Is Lily trying to tell us that she misses my step kids?

And yes, there are two copies of the same picture (from 2007), one on either side of her.

Nap

How cute are they? I mean, really? How cute are they?

Freedom

The cats were locked in a bedroom all day today while the work crews were here. They are free now though, and I think they will stay free for a while. Good kitties.

Feline Freedom

We’ve kept the cats locked in a bedroom during all of the construction over the last two days. There’s still a lot of work to be done, but we let them out tonight. They are reveling in their freedom but not realizing that they go back in the bedroom in the morning. Sorry, cats.

Forgiven

Lily appears to have forgiven us for locking her in a room during the kitchen work.

Avalanche

Ikea Avalanche…

Ikeavalanche…

Ikevalanche…

I think I like that last one. Ikevalanche. That describes what happened to our house. Ikea exploded and it caused an avalanche in our living and dining rooms. Ikevalanche, babie.

The cats are oblivious.

Bill of Lading

Lily is laying on top of a pair of multi-page Bills of Ladings.

IKEA delivery complete. 170-something boxes. One item shipped incorrectly and one item missing. Neither of them are mission critical. I have to pick up a few more things from IKEA tomorrow after work. Other than that, we’re good to go.

Step One: Complete

The first baby step of the kitchen remodeling is complete. We had a plumber here who disconnected everything in the kitchen. Next step is the first of the IKEA deliveries. It’s only supposed to be a few boxes. The landslide/avalanche of IKEA stuff happens tomorrow.

The cats are hiding. Will they remain in hiding until the project is complete? Maybe.

Hanging Out

Two cats, one tree. Just hanging out on a Sunday night, watching Star Trek: Voyager with me and my love.

Frozen the (Car) Musical

I’ve been home from this morning’s car music for about 15 minutes and I’m still frozen solid. It was 15 degrees out when I left the house and I sat in the car recording my dumb ass self singing (badly) for a touch over an hour. By the time I finished I was so cold, I can’t even tell you.

Despite the frigidness, car music was a success. I put vocals on all five songs that needed them. That means all 20 songs in this year’s RPM Challenge pipeline have their vocal tracks down. Holy shit snacks, Batman! 20 songs!

Now I just need to add lead guitars to 11 of those songs and mix 17 of them… with only four-plus days remaining. Crud.

Pics!

The view from my “studio.”
