fat lip, pics, and kitties too!

<--- such a cute kid. This is Morgan, my godson and the son of one of my best friends, Raven. I just love this picture so I had to share it.

In other news, I currently look as if Doug has popped me one in the mouth-- he has not -- I had a root canal! Oh the excitement.

This is just the beginning of an extensive series of dental work I'm going to have to have done, mainly because I procrastinated. I have, I think, two other root canals coming. Yuck. After that I get to have an extraction and three implants. Maybe after that, I'll really go on a bender and have my palate repaired, perhaps I'll go back to wearing an expander. Maybe then my jaw will stop popping.

You'd think that the part of my body that gets the most excercise would be in shape!

It's been pouring on and off all day today. Big fat juicy summer rain that makes you want to run around half dressed and play in the mud. We should have been moving, but that's been delayed. So -- no mud to play in but also no rain to move in. This works out for the best I suppose.

As you may be able to tell by the recent increase in pictures, Doug and I are the proud new parents of a digital camera. A pretty good one at that. I like it. I particularly like the manual setting that allows adjustment of the shutter speed and aperature. I also really dig that I can delete the not so good stuff and not feel wasteful. My job it to learn how to use it then teach Doug. So... fun stuff. I'll share a few out of the most recent batch.

Oh yeah, and I REALLY enjoy the whole cropping and editing the pics. As E2 said somewhere... once a yearbook editor, always a yearbook editor. (I wasn't an editor but a layout and photo geek. *grin*) So I figured I'd share some of my world. If pictures and captions bore you, then stop here.
Here's Collette. I think in another life, she was a bunny. She doesn't know it but when Cheshire, our foster cat, goes back to his people, she is getting a new friend. Her new friend is a Russian Blue kitty named Gigi who is a few months younger than she is. Collette will also be getting a bunny friend that I've been told actually likes cats. I'm ridiculously amused by pets.













This is me. This is me in my red dress. Every woman needs a red dress and sparkly earings. Please excuse the extra chin. I usually keep a spare handy.











Cheshire cat is not sure he approves of whatever it is that Raven is doing to the noisy, new kitten but at least she's keeping it quiet.
















Doug is apparently talking to Jon. How Jon got into that plastic thingy, I don't know. Sometimes, it's best to let men have their little fantasies.










This is the robotic leg of the last cyborg that messed with me! Mwahahahaha!

Okay, no. It's a steering column. One of the odd assortment of car parts currently residing under my desk at work.









This is why I like the red dress. This, I think, is why Doug likes it too.






Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
