I caught Monster quietly reading to Munchkin after he got home from playschool today. Moments like this do not last very long!

I wub this kitten :) I suppose she's not a kitten anymore (7 years old, haha). She has such a sweet face.

I hate to cook. Hate.it.with.a.passion.
My husband, on the other hand, really enjoys it. We watch the Food Network constantly, which always inspires him to create something new and unusual in the kitchen.
Today we tried polenta for the first time. I had no idea what it would taste like, but it was pretty good!

Monster: "Hey Mommy!"
Me, not looking up: "Yeah?"
Monster: "Look, we're monsters! Rawr!!"
Munchkin: "Yeah, I'm-a dottewr! Haha Mommy."
Me: *burst out laughing, grab camera*
They had soooooo much fun tonight with those tunnels.

My purple girl holding Purple Girl. That's her name. Sometimes she calls her Hakka (how she pronounces her own name) but otherwise it's just Purple Girl.

The sky looked so eerie tonight. Definitely wasn't northern lights... I'm betting aliens :)

My precious little man is a bundle of non-stop smiles and giggles these days. I can't get enough of him.

Munchkin asked me to take a picture of her today. I love how she holds out her pinky when she drinks, so refined.

Today the spectacle that is the Grammy awards was broadcast. What utterly ridiculous, pointless tripe it was...

This Bad Cat ALWAYS is messing around in the living room blinds. Drives me crazy nutso.

So.
I just found out that
as of March 26, I will no longer be able to use this blog via Blogger.Sigh. At least I have 2 months to figure out what I'm going to do about it. Either
a) I can switch URLs to elviskitty.blogspot.com (which I've already claimed)
or
b) find a new blogging service that offers FTP publishing. For free.
Since I *just* renewed the elviskitty domain name, I'm going to try and go with option b. Though that will undoubtedly entail re-writing my design template's code... *insert massive hair-pulling-outage here* We shall see.
Oh. And.
.
.
.
Still no computer.
EDIT 31 Jan - My much more knowledgeable husband will be able to remedy this with a simple redirect. Never mind. I am lame.

New phone! We switched to a cell and ditched our landline, so now I have another gadget to familiarize myself with. Yay?

The Monster got a tent with crawl tunnels from Grandma and Grandpa B for his birthday. He loves them :)

Mmmm bread :) I'm so domesticated now that I bake my own bread, almost every day. There's nothing like it.

My mom and dad are up for the weekend, and our (their) dog tagged along. He LOVES playing ball.

I nearly forgot to take a photo today! Yikes. Not much interesting happening late at night, but Buster was sleeping so peacefully, he made a good subject.

This is one of my favourite photos I have ever ever shot. EVER. I think it might just have to go on a wall.

It occurred to me today that I haven't taken a self-portrait yet. As of now, that has been remedied - not only that, but you can see my lovely camera as well. Our relationship is growing stronger every day and we are becoming quite comfy with each other I think :)

Wheeee LIGHT TRAILS :) This was so much fun to shoot, sitting in the pitch black of my living room, fiddling with settings, waiting for cars to drive by. This image is actually a composite of three photos layered over one another.

Woke up this morning to ice fog and thick hoar frost outside. Everything is white and sparkly... so crisp and clean.

I can't wait until the weather is a little nicer and I can take pictures outdoors. I'm running out of inspiration!

This is the book I'm currently reading (for the second time):
The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul by Douglas Adams. I've read nearly everything he's written... he's insanely brilliant :)
Note: I'm extra proud of this photo - other than a minor brightening tweak, it is straight out of camera. No cropping, sharpening, color curving, nada. YAYLabels: 365

Shaking it up a little today with a more abstract-y photo... experimenting with shadow/light, curves/lines/shapes. This was taken in my kitchen - it's the table and a chair.

The jolly jumper
is a remarkable thing -
it makes Buster sleep

When the munchkin says
"turkey in the straw" it sounds
like "chocolate door"

Melting snow in Jan.?
Wow. Mother Nature must be

Mother Nature finally decided to give us poor prairie dwellers a hiatus from killer frigid temperatures... so we all bundled up and hit the slopes with toboggan in tow. And there's nothing like a mug of hot chocolate to warm you up after that kind of adventure :)

The little man is droooooooling like crazy these days. It mostly emerges as a profusion of bubbles... ahh he's so goshdarn cute :)
