12.16.2007 :: Fig's got mail OR: Thank you, Cookie!
Thank you, Cookie! She is a champion knitter of Cats and bloggers, I tell ya!
When the mail came yesterday, Fig was sleeping. I placed the envelope on the stairs, standing up between the spindles. When I came home from grocery shopping (where I was hard pressed to find many of the things on my list because everyone had panic shopped earlier because of the forecasted snowstorm), Fig came down the stairs to snoop out what was for him in those bags, as he often does. But he KNEW there was catnip nearby. He kept walking the hall and kitchen back and forth, nose working like crazy. Kooky cat. No fooling him!
Right now there is a wonderful snowstorm going on outside (watching it from my living room window = bliss)
Today will be a good day to find that Christmas spirit. I know I left it here somewhere. Perhaps it's in the baking sheets. Cookie baking is on tap for today!
I hope you can hunker down today, no matter what your weather. Hunkering is good.

We hunkered, we knitted, we watched football. It was very quiet. Aaaah.

Hi Sandy!
Thought I'd let you know (in case you haven't heard) that Dan Fogelberg died yesterday. I remember that you like his music, too.
Too young. So, so sad.
Hugs, Jen

Fig was clearly giving you the evil eye in that second pic. :)

Ohhhhh, that is too cute! Good for Fig! May we all get our drug of choice this holiday season. Mine seems to be carbs and cinnamon. Could be worse. :)

Oh that is great! No one has yet sent my cats any mail - but they're waiting - patiently.

Ya'll are most welcome! I'm so glad Fig enjoyed his mice.
So much snow! I hope you can stay inside today. Baking sounds like a warm thing to do today. ♥

What a lucky cat! Your snow looks much prettier than mine. Here the sky is white, the ground is white and everything in between is filled with blowing snow. But I have LOTS of yarn (and milk, bread, eggs, and coffee) so there will be no knitting or french toast emergencies here.

Bring on the cookie baking!

I'm making baklava today and possibly some other cookies for the work cookie swap on Thursday. I;m just glad I don't have to go anywhere.

Ah Fig. Gets his presents early does he?
I think we will be baking today as well. And eating chili. Watching football. Knitting. A good snow day.

Well, now you've gone and done it. Zippo read your blog. Actually he just looked at the pictures. Now, he is mad at me. He woke me up three times last night to tell me so. He wants a catnip mouse, too, and its my job to make him one.
