loudtwitter.com set all this up for me.
He's been lying in my lap while I check the email. Very unusual for Weez, he usually only lies still for his Papa. Stuffin' is Mama's boy. However, today I have the affections of The Weez, perhaps because I took him out walking in the woods yesterday.
He also has the hiccups. Ferret hiccups are SO SO cute!
Slept late (wif cuddly HRTortie), eated eggs and BACON!, kittehs snoozed all afternoon/evening, stuffed self at soup and salad place with BFF's. Have to get our stomachs into (or out of) shape for Thursday.
TK not thrilled with the prescription gooshyfud, but is eating it ok so far. Not thrilled with extra-large cone, either, but only 6 more days for that.
Off to watch tonight's Amazing Race.
You can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning.

Don't eat the baby brie! Let them grow up!

Today I made stew, picked the remaining flowers, took a bunch of pictures, and decorated gourds. There are still a few random blooms in the garden and of course the herbs are still begging to be thrown into a saucepot.
I found some Nastursiums, lettuce seed, monkey grass berries, mums, and a few red Zinnias. I took a few pics with a Lalique flower "frog" and some other articles.
My stew smells good and it is cold outside so it will be welcome. I spent a few hours outside staining gourds that I wood-burned designs on. They aren't done but look neat in the state they are in so if I never get back to them I can still use them for something. What I am not sure of.
I like taking pictures but my camera has been sucking lately. Perhaps Santa will bring me a new one.
I'm done shopping and I think I covered all the basics but want to make sure I didn't forget something obvious. (I've been known to do that.)
[T]his enlightenment of the Buddha's was profound and brilliant, accurate and powerful, and also warm and compassionate. It was like the sun behind the clouds. Anyone who has taken off in an airplane on a grim and gloomy day knows that beyond the cloud cover the sun is always shining. Even at night the sun is shining, but then we can't see it because the earth is in the way, and probably our pillow also. The Buddha explained that behind the cloud cover of thoughts - including very heavy clouds of emotionally charged thoughts backed up by entrenched habitual patterns - there is continual warm, bright, loving intelligence constantly shining. And even though in the midst of thoughts, emotions, and habitual patterns, intelligence may become dulled and confused, it is still this intelligence in the midst of thoughts and emotions and habits that makes them so very captivating, so resourceful and various, so inexhaustible.
