The Cat Wins (again)

My cat, "Luigi," wasn't allowed to sleep on this chair a couple of days ago (because it is new)... but of course, he couldn't resist a cozy, new place to nap. He just looks so comfy - how can we move him? Exactly, we don't! Cat wins again! :))

Stealing Paperclips

All morning my cat has been stealing paperclips from my office. He swipes them from notebooks, paper stacks and has even found the little dish I keep them in. There are dozens of paperclips all over the floor and bite/claw marks on papers, books, etc. that he took them from. Who'd have known a 5 year old cat could still be amused by something so simple. It must be their shape that he likes. He hangs them from his claws and carries them around dangling... then drops them in odd spots like the bathroom or kitchen. He has some strange paperclip-game going on... either that or paperclips are some sort of cat-currency in this house!

Invisible Isabelle

This project of mine is finalllllllly almost done. New rule for me, no starting new personal projects without finishing my children's book, "Invisible Isabelle." :) This is a 26 page picture book, I have 3 more pages to go! When I'm not working on clients' projects my desk is full of dozens of my own little projects, illustrations, books, etc. that side track me away from finishing this book. I'm on the homestretch now, so I'm going to wrap this project up and then move onto the next "distraction." :) I'll post a link to "Invisible Isabelle" when it is complete!

"Time Flies"

October 1st, wow! - already?? We always say that don't we? - No matter what time of year it is... "time flies SO fast." We can't believe its October already, can't believe its July already, can't believe the holidays are here... and on and on.

I think the happier we are, the faster "time flies." When life is hard it moves slower, sometimes realllllly slow. When we're worried, sad, stressed, missing something/someone, going through a rough patch... it just moves slower.

So, if I am right, it seems a little "messed up" that time "flies" when we are our happiest and slowwwwwws when we aren't so happy. Agree or no?

Is "time flying" for you right now? Hope so. :)
