It has been a crazy, busy last week or so. I haven’t had much time to blog or much else unfortunately. I don’t really know how many people read my blog, but even if no one really did I would still miss writing on here. It really feels good to type away and just say what is on my mind sometimes. So what have I been up to that has kept me pretty busy?
Last week friday I took our kittys to the vet since Pounce needed his annual shots & such. During that visit we found out that Pounce has a small heart murmur. It probably won’t really affect his life, but it is still a good thing to know so that we can monitor it in the future.
Another interesting thing about that visit was the vet saying that she thought Axel might have some Abyssinian in him. (Of course at the time I couldn’t remember what word she said, but Ben looked it up online for me.) Apparently Abyssinian cats are a breed believed to have originited in Egypt. Their paws & tails can have tabby markings, but their bodys must not show the tabby markings. Straight from wikipedia “Abyssinians are very active, friendly, curious and playful, but are usually not ‘lap cats’; they are too preoccupied exploring and playing… Many Abyssinians enjoy heights, and will explore their surroundings in three dimensions, from the floor to their owner’s shoulders to the top of the highest furniture. They are highly intelligent, and probably the most independent of any domestic breed.” Hmm, that definitely sounds like Axel. Oh and go look at the pictures, we think Axel definitely has to be mixed with this type of breed. It definitely explains why he looks like a tabby, but doesn’t look like a tabby at the same time. (And it also explains why he LOVES people, but doesn’t really like being held much.)
After going to the vet, I took a little road trip to visit with my mom & sister for the weekend. We hung out, shopped, shopped some more, and had a really good time. I also got to meet my Bulgarian sister, who had been staying with my parents for the summer. The four of us went shopping almost all day saturday and I got to go to H&M, my favorite store. Then on Sunday we saw my aunt, uncle, and my cousin who was home for a short while from Iraq. It was a busy trip, but fun never the less. (We totally must do that again mom & Sari!)
This week, Ben had a business trip so I hung out with Pounce & Axel and did my homework pretty much. He is back now & I was sooooooo glad to see him! Like always school kept me pretty busy this week and it is promising to do so this next week. I have a bunch of flash cards with different tissues & cells that I have to go over for a histology practical on monday. It is not all work though since I do have plans in the works for sewing a purse. This one is actually not for me, it is for a friend:) I also have some other sewing plans floating around in my head…
Christmas is coming soon, can you believe it! (Okay, I know it isn’t even thanksgiving, but Christmas is soon enough that I have to start thinking about gifts.) Sari Max where is your amazon wishlist?? ;)
This entry just didn’t feel right without a picture, so here is one of Pounce & Axel just because…
