Sorry

I'm real sorry about the lack of posts lately. I've had a lot going on and just honestly forgot about this blog. Woody and Cherry are their normal weird selves. I have no idea when I'll begin to update regularly again, but it may be awhile. You can expect a few random posts, but there really won't be much for a while.

Why Nothing Ever Gets Done Around Here

Halloween!

I adjusted the blog a bit in case no one noticed. I like the holiday themes. :)

Monstah Monday: Spider Queen

Yesterday I worked on getting our Halloween decorations up. We have one that is a giant spider web. Cherry and Woody were very interested in it. I think Woody only cared about it because the cat was playing with it. Cherry was stalking the corners of it while I laid it out and Woody just kept walking through it, getting tangled, and then trying to pick it up and carry it away.

While I was putting it up, Cherry followed me and was trying to walk away with the end of it. It was the cutest thing. I only got a video of her trying to pull it down. I wish I had one of the whole process. It was pretty comical. Woody wasn't very happy about not being involved. Just as a note, he's not allowed upstairs or on the stairs at all.

From now until I take it down she will continue to pull at it. I had to fix it so many times last year.

Great News!

So I got my driver's license Thursday! Today I took Woody for a drive. I bought him an Easy Walk harness and went to test it at a local park. Yeah...it didn't work. Woody didn't give a damn if it squeezed his legs together. He just kept pulling. I wish I had brought his other harness, but I totally forgot. It would have been a lovely walk if I remembered his harness. You should have seen me walking him. It was probably hysterical.

One of the paths at the park.

And yesterday Woody helped me clean out the truck I now share with my brother. By help I mean got scared when I started vacuuming and just got in the way. He would not give up the passenger seat. 

I finally convinced him to hang out in the back seat.

Now for the sake of mentioning the little demon, I went into the kitchen to bake a pie and saw this out of the corner of my eye:

Look at that face of evil. 

I have no idea where she dragged that thing from. She probably had it stashed away somewhere.

I Love the Colder Weather

Ok, I always tell people I hate winter, but that's because of the snow. Fall is by far my favorite season minus school starting. Since getting Cherry, the cold weather has become a 1000 times better. Why?

She cuddles.

Cherry was so cuddly when I first got her. Within a few hours of bringing her home she was already curled up in my lap sleeping. It was adorable. I used to fall asleep with her cradled in my arm. She also used to wake me up trying to crawl under my blankets with me.

She isn't that snuggly anymore, but she still cuddles. In the summer it's pretty rare, but now that the weather is getting colder she has become a cuddle monster. I love the comfort of falling asleep to her kneading my side or having her sleeping on my feet or back. It makes me feel safe and warm.

I now dub this cold weather as 'kitty snuggle weather'.

Cat Got Your...Tail?

Sorry, I forgot to turn my phone before recording.

Anyway, this is literally what I see Cherry doing every day. When she's sitting on my lap, I have to hold her butt so she can grab her tail. It is so funny to watch.

My Cat is a Druggie

I think a little bit of background information is necessary for this story. I have one of those plastic drawer things with three drawers. In the first two I keep my make up, nail polish, lotion, hair dryer, straightener, other various girl stuff, etc. In the bottom drawer I keep my fish tank stuff, cat treats, cat nip, nail clippers for the cat, Cherry's toothbrush, etc. With these drawers, if you leave one open you can access the drawer under it if you go behind the drawers. I always forget about this.

So Saturday was my cousin's wedding(Woo!) and I had opened the middle drawer because I was using my hair dryer and straightener. I left the drawer open. I was gone for hours on Saturday and when I came home late at night I noticed there were two bags of catnip on the floor. I rolled my eyes because Cherry does this all the time. I find the bags all over. Usually she just carries them around and then leaves them wherever.

Not this time. This time she ripped one of the bags open. There was catnip all over my rug, clothes, etc. It was way too late for me to clean it up, so I went to bed. Yesterday morning when I woke up I noticed it was everywhere. Cherry even had the audacity to roll around in it while I was trying to vacuum it up. That little devil.

A Few Pictures

I was hoping to upload more than these few, but I was gone all day and now I've got homework. So this will just be a quick picture post.

GREAT NEWS!

My new laptop is here! I'll probably have some pictures for you guys tomorrow since I'm too lazy to put some up right now. Like I said before, I'm not sure about daily uploads. Maybe a few times a week. It'll really depend on my schedule. I'm still adjusting to school and once I get home all I want to do is sleep. It should be better in a bit once I'm used to the schedule.

So yeah, stay tuned. I'll have some pictures up soon.

I Have a Shop Finally!

I finally got my shop open. There's only one dragon for sale right now while I figure out how this all works, but soon there will be plenty more! I'm so excited about this. I've been wanting to sell my dragons for over a year now!

It would mean the world to me if you could check out my shop. :)

Some Good News, Some Changes, and a Little Story

Alrighty, good news first. My dad was able to get my laptop to turn on and he found out that the keyboard is dead. That means all of my stuff on it is safe! He ordered me a refurbished one of the same model, so I'll soon have my laptop back!

Now for the changes. I think I'm going to stop with the posts where Cherry and Woody are talking. They're fun, but they take a bit longer and at the moment I just don't have that time. I'll still share stories, but not in their point of view. Every once and a while I might, but not all the time.

And now for the story. Cherry is a little trouble maker. Her newest trouble causing involves sleeping on pillows. How does this cause trouble? Well, the pillows are usually the ones I'm using. Every morning for a few weeks I would wake up with her laying on the pillow beside me with a piece of string(her newest prize). Now she wakes me up at night trying to lay on the pillow I'm using! She steps on my hair and occasionally even chews on it!

I think her go-to sleeping spot is now a pillow. I rarely see her anywhere else now.

(Sorry some pictures are blurry)

Excuses Excuses

~So, no updates for a while. As you know my laptop is fried and I've been using my brother's. Well his laptop is a piece of shit and makes it almost impossible to do anything. Last time I tried to upload pictures it took half an hour and then the laptop crashed. I only wanted one little picture off my camera... Other than pictures I really don't have any more updates. Woody is the same, Cherry's a devil, and I started school again. I've got a few stories up my sleeve, but I think I'll save them for a bit. ~

Hmmm...Life Took Over...

~Yeah, I know I post these a lot, but life really has taken over. I've been out doing things, doing my driving hours, getting school taken care of, planning birthday stuff(and if you're curious, today is my birthday), and when I'm not busy with real stuff, I've been watching Doctor Who and other TV shows/movies as well as working on some art. 

I've been especially busy working on my dragons for my Etsy shop. There isn't anything listed in it yet, but if you want to check it out anyway the link to my profile is http://www.etsy.com/people/KatScrapMew.

So yeah I've been a bit busy. Don't worry, I've got some pictures to share. Woody got a new collar from http://www.etsy.com/shop/Pugs2Persians. I absolutely LOVE it! It's so adorable on him. I saw the collar a while back, but wanted to look around to see if I could find some more masculine looking ones. Do you know how hard it is to find a masculine collar? I didn't want a plain old single color one or a leather one(they wouldn't show up well on him). And as much as I like spiked collars, there was no way I was getting him one! 

This cat is driving me crazy

Cherry has a new obsession: stealing paintbrushes.  I have a box of them that she opens constantly. I find brushes all over. She woke me up last night by knocking over the box and rummaging through the brushes. It's awful. 

So I thought I'd share that. I can't write much since I'm on my phone. 

Sorry

Yeah, sorry for the lack of updates. I have been so busy. I started my driving hours, my relatives are visiting, and there's a lot of other stuff that I've been busy with. I'm not sure when the regular posts will start back up again. Maybe we'll have a Monstah Monday tomorrow...not sure yet.

Ok...

Yeah regular schedule isn't working right now. I've been too busy to update. I will have some stuff in the next few days. 

For now you can have some various pictures. 

Blueberry picking:

Practicing driving with me:

Begging:

Supercat!

Flash Back Friday...Uhhh

~For the time being, I can't do flash back Friday. I'm not on my laptop, so I don't have the pictures handy. For now all I can share is a funny story about Casie. At least I find it pretty funny. It may turn out to be one of those 'you had to be there' stories, but we'll give it a try anyway. 

Casie would always sleep on my bed with me. I'd wake up every morning with her sleeping beside me. When I was younger, she slept on the side of my bed facing outwards(my bed was somewhat against the wall). One morning, someone came upstairs to wake me up for school. Usually my dad just yells for us to wake up and rarely would come upstairs to wake us up. As the person approached my bed, Casie gave the loudest hiss. One of my friends compared her hiss to the sound of ripping cardboard. She was very loud. She wasn't very vocal like Cherry, but she had a scary hiss. Anyway, that morning I ended up waking up to a ferocious cat snarling at someone(did I mention Casie slept next to my head where the second pillow would be?). The person ended up being terrified of Casie. I found it pretty comical. ~

Monstah Monday: Oh, what's this thing for?

Hello everyone! Cherry here! We're finally getting back into the swing of things. I, for one, never stopped causing trouble, so there's probably lots of little stories I can tell you. Today, we'll cover my mischief from yesterday.

So, Mommy makes clay dragons and she'll soon be selling them. Yesterday she decided to take pictures of all the ones she had to sell plus one that's going to her Grandma. To do this she decided to mess around with a back drop(aka a white sheet thrown over a poster board). I found it very interesting.

"What's this doing here?"

"Wait. Are you taking pictures of me right now?!"

"Hmmmm...this sheet looks like it would be fun to tear apart."

The set up.

Now I'll show you some of Mommy's dragons to take up space in this post.

Seashell Dragon. This one's going to her Grandma.

Lilac Seaglass. One of her favorites.

Candy corn.

The "fur" is supposed to be ombre. 

*Note: The colors are a bit off. They're a lot different in person. Mommy's got to play around with the pictures a bit before they're ready.*

Back to Normal?

~Eh, maybe. I think I'm finally back to normal in regards to sanity levels. I definitely wrote that last post while high on pain killers. I can just hear it in how I wrote. Man, last week was weird. I was awful coming out of the anesthesia. While at the place I spilled water all over my pants and then just sat there staring sadly at it. I think inside I was really upset about that tiny cup of water. I probably looked so dejected. I know that's how I felt. Then on the way home I started singing. My poor dad. At some point I woke up a bit more and started trying to ask him if they had to pull a fifth tooth (one wisdom tooth was growing into the roots of another tooth and they weren't sure if the roots would be rotten or not). He could not understand what the heck I was saying and I was getting more and more frustrated. Keep in mind at this point I had gauze in my mouth, half my face was numb, and I had an ice pack up to my face. He had to call home, too, and I forget what I was saying to him(it was probably a retort to a comment he made about my state of mind). All I know is that when we got home I was told that they could hear me yelling something. And I am almost positive we stopped at the drive-thru CVS and I made a complete fool out of myself. At least I think my dad turned off the radio, so I probably stopped singing. 

Now once we got home, I got really grumpy. It started when they tried to get me out of the car. I could barely stand, so they were gripping my arms so damn tight. That made me not even try to move. I was screaming at them to stop clawing me. After getting inside I was even more angry. Half my tongue was numb and I hated having the gauze shoved in my mouth. Everyone was also hovering around me. I think I spent a good hour hiding under my blankets. I was yelling something about how it felt like I had a balloon in my mouth. 

And then when I got on the pain killers...oh god...once they kicked in I would not shut up. I felt like I could conquer the world and I went around letting everyone know that and every detail of the last few hours. Seriously, I just followed everyone around talking. That was also probably about the time I went online and started posting things on all the websites I go on. I was really glad that I at least had the decency to not post half the things I wanted to say. It was like there was a totally focused me running a tiny cubicle in my brain and then the crazy me running everything else. The focused me kept saying, 'Now do you really think people care?' or 'You're on drugs. Shut up.' I think it's still yelling these things at me...

I figure I should also let you know that I haven't made a post in the past few days because I've pretty much just been sleeping. Boy, do those pain killers make you sleepy. I'd be wide awake one minute and then passed out on the couch the next. And if anybody dared disturb me(if any sound), I would turn into mega-bitch and flip out then fall right back to sleep. At one point, my brother's phone kept going off. I remember sitting up and going, 'WHO ARE YOU TEXTING?!' and when he told me, I said, 'Well tell <name> to SHUT UP!' Then I rolled over and was asleep again. 

I should also mention that Woody and Cherry stayed far away from me at that point. Cherry didn't cuddle with me until the second day. Woody was hanging out with me when I first got home. He wouldn't cuddle, but he was next to me. On the second night, I woke up to Cherry flopping around in my arms. (It's her way of saying 'I love you'.)

So, on to the pets. I could go on for pages about my loopy wisdom teeth experience plus how much it friggin hurt, but I'll spare you from more of that. 

Woody and Cherry have been good. In fact, this morning Cherry woke me up with a paint brush. She dragged it out of my box of brushes(making a lot of noise), I threw a pillow, she brought the brush onto my bed, I threw it across the room, she brought it back. It's probably a good thing I have so many paint brushes. She stole one last week, too. Little bitch. She's lucky I don't like those ones. If she had ruined one of my favorite ones she would not have been very happy. 

So have any of you checked out my instagram? If you haven't, you're missing out of this cuteness:
 

Now, have some pictures:

No, sadly I didn't get a kitten. This little girl was at the shelter. Her name was Bagheera. She was already adopted and waiting to be picked up. First kitten I've ever really played with. 

Woody and I went blueberry picking here.

'Mommy, let's keep going!' No, we're picking blueberries here.

Yeah, so I've been back at the shelter again. Two weeks ago they had three kittens there waiting for their owners to pick them up. I could not get over the cuteness. I'd never actually interacted with a kitten before then. I think the youngest cat I had played with before was probably 5 months old. These ones were 3 months old. So...Tiny...And freaking adorable. The little black one was sitting in a cage on the counter and one of the older cats was out while his cage was being cleaned. He was sniffing around and trying to swipe at the kitten(he's double pawed). The whole time the kitten is occupied with a toy. Finally the cat lost interest and walks around the cage and the kitten saw him. She fluffed up so much, it was adorable. It was so funny because he had been trying to grab her for the past five minutes and she didn't even notice. 

So, that's about all I've got to say for now. I'm not sure if daily posts will start back up again. If my dizziness clears up I will be grabbing life by the horns. Plus my dad is making me start my driving hours. I'm scheduled for tomorrow, but that's not happening. Then there's family coming for visits and school starts in August. Ugh. ~

Well...

Finally got my wisdom teeth out. Thank god no one got a video of me afterwards. I sang the whole ride home...my dad described it as 'aroo roo woo mmmrf roooo' to the tune of Mumford and Sons.

I've also now borrowed my brother's laptop, so I can hopefully start uploading some pictures. It might be later today. I'd o something now, but I'm busy holding ice packs to my face.

And I now have an instagram. It's oceanmist0817. It'll have pictures of Woody and Cherry and also ones of the dragons I make.

Anyway, just a little update for you all. :)

I may also still be a little loopy....

Here, have another video

Laptop is still dead...no idea if I'll get a replacement or not.


In the meantime, have another video. This one is from Cherry's birthday.

Sorry...

Yeah laptop is dead. I've got my iPad, but can't upload photos from it. I might be able to get some videos uploaded to here. I have no idea if I'll get a new laptop or what. 

Anyway, enjoy this video of Woody frolicking.

See that rope I'm using as a leash? Woody ripped the skin off one of my fingers with it yesterday. :( so I'd type more, but it hurts too much.

Monstah Monday: Birthday Girl! Also some bad news...

Today is Cherry's third birthday! Yay! I got her a turbo track since she likes her regular one. She loves it. Ive got a video of it and I had some pictures, but my laptop is messed up right now(and that's the bad news). So I'm writing this using the app and have no idea how to do use it. I'm real sad because this was supposed to be a wicked awesome post, but I can't do what I wanted with the app. If my computer works later, I'll edit this, but for now you just have a video.

And never mind. Cant get that to work... :( sorry.

Edit: laptop is fried. :( no updates for awhile I guess...

Happy Father's Day to those it applies to! 

Photography Sharing

Yeah, no post about Woody today. It was raining all last week and I won't be home today until later. I really don't get a lot of pictures of Woody either. I have so many of Cherry because she's always doing something silly and I've usually got my camera on my desk next to me. It's pretty easy to get pictures of her. Woody, on the other hand, won't even look at the camera. Cherry poses. 

So instead of a post about Woody, I've decided to share some of my photography. If you want to see more just check out my DeviantArt account.
