We’re leaving for the weekend in an hour, and I’m in that post-packed, pre-leave limbo. My laptop’s open, and I have three options: touring the blogosphere, surfing the internet, and writing. Although blogs are tempting and mindless surfing has its merits, I am electing to be good and add a few pages to my book, since I probably won’t get to it at all tomorrow, and I’d like to see if this morning’s roll continues. But before I go behave myself, and then drive off to escape the madness that descends upon our tourist town every weekend throughout the spring, I will leave you with one more picture:
I realize I’m flirting with cat obsession, but I suppose I’ll just have to live with that. I already have that reputation among my offline friends, anyway. And they, in turn dutifully ask after the cats each time we talk on the phone, address cards and e-mails to them, and sometimes even include a cat toy or two with Christmas presents. This is what happens when you are over thirty and don’t yet have kids; your friends begin to anthropomorphize your pets.
Okay! I’m off to work on my book. I won’t be able to respond to comments right away because we’ll be camping (and, yes, the forecast is calling for temps in the twenties), but I adore comments so please don’t let that stop you. Here’s an idea: If you were giving this photo a caption, what would it be? I promise to respond when I get back, probably by e-mail unless I find out you prefer otherwise. Have a great weekend!

Hope you’re having a great time (and not freezing too much)! I’m so not a camper, but love hearing about it from friends. Okay, a caption… how about “You lookin’ at me? You lookin’ at me?”

I hope you have a good weekend camping. Me, give me a hotel with a working bathroom anytime.

“This doesn’t concern you, Woman.”
Unoriginal, true, but the closest I could come up with. The Basil looks perturbed and Rosie looks….embarassed or perhaps traumatized. *grin* Have a good trip.

I have no caption for you, but I just love how cats always look evil on film. Mine looks possessed in all his pics, and I have to convince people online that, yes, he is a nice cat. Really.

I know I’m late to the game. I’m always a day late and a dollar short. I hope you had a great weekend.

I think there’s a line in Rachel Vincent’s ROGUE that is something along the lines of “no one likes a voyeur.”

Wow, C- I hadn’t figured out yet who Booklady was.
It took me awhile. I hadn’t even seen this blog. Some friend I am. 
Actually, I am a good friend. I guess I should say, “some blogger I am.” Anyway, great pic.

I have a similar photo I posted on the blog of a dog and cat. I captioned it “Forbidden Love”. This is a great picture.

[...] cat story? Wow. I don’t even know. How about a favorite cat picture? That would probably be this one of Rosemary and The Basil. Or favorite cat quirks? Echo the Cat bites when he wants attention, and [...]
