mom had intended to post pictures of us and her new car. did she? no. she's been busy helping uncle jerry get ready to move into the condo right next door to hers.
mom says she skipped her work out this morning because she knew she'd get her aerobic exercise cleaning. both she and uncle jerry did.
anyway, it may be a few days before the pictures...but there will be some, we promise!

lots of changes!
we told you about mom's new job. she ends her current job in two weeks, has a week off, and then starts the new one on august 18. last night she sold her leaky old car and bought a new-to-her car. it's a 2007 hyundai elantra. she says that brand new ones are almost impossible to find unless she wanted to drive a stick shift. mom says she's too old to drive a manual transmission. what she really means is she has arthuritis in her knees and does enjoy the process. she's not really that old...although she says she's old enough to be mother to most of the sales guys at the dealership.
anyway, she'll post pictures tomorrow.
things are looking up in the fuzz and fur household!

almost a month
what are we going to be with our mom? she doesn't seem to post much! it's not that she's not on the computer, but that she doesn't let us on.
daisy's mom featured us on her blog today. check it out...she's got great pictures and everything.
between us, the reason mom's not been letting us keep up our blog is that she's been looking for a new job. she has a job. she doesn't hate it, but she wants something else. she's been looking for a long time.
she put in an application in march for a great position. the phone screen interview was in mid to late may. a week later there was an actual phone interview. three weeks later, a 4.5 hour in-person site visit. a week later, another site visit. a week later, a job offer. four days later, a meeting to negotiate salary, three days of waiting, and then notification that mom's requested salary had been met. two days later, an offer signed. two days later, a credentialing packet arrived via fedex. that was this past friday. mom's been working on it all weekend. there was some advice at the beginning of the packet: once the paperwork is completed, keep an undated and unsigned copy so you won't have to complete it again. mom says that that is some of the best advice she's ever heard. mol.
she starts her new job august 18. i don't think we have enough paws between us to count how long it took to get from application to start date.
even with all the time it's taken and the paperwork she's filling out, mom is thrilled with her new job. she says it's the position she's been looking for for the past 10 years.

lucy's got some 'splaining to do
hi everybody! how you doin'? do you have summer yet where you live? we don't. not yet. mama says it's probably not going to be warm here this year. she says she doesn't mind...she's got webbed feet from living in the pacific northwet for so long.
when we do have a little bit of sun, mama's on the deck moving plants around so they get as much exposure as possible. she says the basil looks a little wet...and kind of yellow-green.
she started us a little pot of catnip. in about 3 weeks, it's not so little anymore. she brings me leaves when she goes out to water and turn the pots into the sun.
you know that there's a little competition between ben and me, right? we both want mama's attention as much as possible. with his 'lion cut', he's cold, and wants to snuggle a lot. (mom uses quotes for the lion cut because the groomer CUT OFF HIS MANE!)
i like to cuddle because that's what babies do. yes, i know i'm a year old. uncle jerry says that i'm a woman, but mama and i know that i'm still a baby. i want mama and me time every day. several times a day is even better! i like to be held on my back. i purr while mama holds me, gives me tummy strokes, chin and cheek scritches, and she talks to me and tells me how much she loves me. i smile at her and close my eyes in lots of kitty kisses. sometimes i even let her kiss my belly. sometimes. (mol)
mama says i'm a grown up baby...and here's a picture to prove it!

easy sunday
i think we've been forgiven for the pee on the carpet incident. mom scrubbed hard and then bought a new air freshener.
we're all dozing today...and figure you are too. hope you enjoy yourselves!
one day soon, mom will hook her camera up to her new computer, and then we'll post more pictures.
