13 on 13

So I'm doing my very first "12 on 12". But on the 13th. Since it's a Friday the 13th. And since I tend to be contrary like that.

13 pictures taken on the 13th of the month. All pictures were taken with my iPhone. Click the images to enlarge, if you dare!

Created by Chad Darnell and picked up from a number of random bloggers who then link back to him and vice versa. Chad stopped doing the 12 of 12 links in December of 2011, so I linked to Blobby's Blog as Blobby is the one who inspired me to do it.

10:01 AM: Brush, brush, brush. Brush, brush, brush.

10:02 AM: µ probably wonders why us pink-skins put on clothing. Actually, she probably wants me to hurry up and put my clothes on!

10:21AM: Suiting up. My feet. Which reminds me, I need to tell a humorous story about this pair of Chucks.

10:30 AM: Essential head gear for the 20 degree weather we're having today. Not a fan of the cold. Ever. And we still have snow on the ground from the dusting we received the day before.

10:42 AM: Returning a disc back to Netflix. A Doctor Who episode or two. I may or may not be making "archival backups". Just in case. I really need to buy every episode made, which hopefully I can do one day when I'm rich.

11:34 AM: Preparing my room at the studio for the day. All cleaned and mopped.

11:39 AM: Making tattoo care instruction sheets. Because it's important.

2:59 PM: Got my hair cut. Again. So much maintenance these things are.

7:18 PM: A quick snack between tattoos.

9:57 PM: Leaving the studio for the night.

10:24 PM: The product I ordered December 8, 2011 FINALLY came in the mail today. Over one month after I ordered it. I definitely don't recommend ordering anything from Pet Street Mall if you're in a rush.

10:27 PM: Dinner. The Husbear made some chili.

10:39 PM: My entertainment unit/work space. This is pretty much where I park my butt at night once I get home. The Husbear is usually in bed already. And I usually have tattoos to draw, paperwork to work, blogs to read, and Doctor Who episodes to watch.

Bonus: 10:49 PM: Someone got a Friday the 13th tattoo today!

Until next time...

Kittehs POV

We've still had no luck keeping the kittehs out of the tree. I know I've had to talk the Husbear out of the trees a few times because of it. So much for "happy holiday season".

The only "solution" we haven't tried yet is the motion-sensing air blaster. But at $50 a setup, I'm holding off on that idea. For now.

So we have resorted to installing a temporary panel door between the kitchen and living room, and locking the kittehs in the kitchen and mudroom area when we're not in the house, or when we're sleeping. They are not amused. And to be honest, neither are us humans.

The tree may just come down before the holiday this year.

Hat tip to Alexander of Voenix Rising for thinking of me and sending me the cartoon.

Until next time...

Bad kittehs!

The Yaksmas tree was up for LESS than one day before the kittehs µ and m had destroyed it.

We put the tree up Sunday evening. And when we woke up Monday morning... well... there's a Doctor Who episode (or two) that has these remote-controlled, killer Yaksmas trees in them that basically spin around and try to kill you. That's what it looked like had happened to our tree.

The Husbear was not amused.

As the Husbear and I never found a solution that would keep them out of the tree last year, we have resigned ourselves to locking them up in the kitchen and mudroom when we're not around to watch them. And even THAT took some doing: we had to install a temporary door just to get that to work.

Damn you, kittehs!

I wonder if anyone markets perimeter-aware shock collars for kittehs....

I'm so tempted.

Until next time...
