Making friends
Saturday, I caught Hermione and Chloe sharing a windowsill briefly. Chloe still tolerates Little Miss, but hasn't been captivated by her tiny charm.
Tonight I looked over and saw THIS:
Charlie was deeply ashamed to be caught sharing his favourite bed with Little Miss ... nah, I'm joking, he was actually bathing.
I've noticed that Charlie has grown fond of Hermione, but this was my first time catching them cuddling. So adorab...

Little Miss
Hermione has settled in quite nicely, thank you. In this picture she's with Mel, a koala beanie baby that I gave her to play with, so she'd stop trying to eat my hand.
Last night, she slept on a pillow next to me, Charlie was on the foot of the bed, and Chloe was sleeping on the baker's rack by the window. Bliss.
When I got up this morning, she and Charlie were chasing each other around the apartment. She's not afraid to squawk when...

Kitten of Terror
I'm going to have to lock up Little Miss for the day. She chases and corners the big cats, they need a reprieve from the two month old Kitten of Terror. ...

So Little Miss has been hanging with me, wreaking havoc when left alone in the bathroom - she has a talent for climbing and leaping.
She's been playing tug-of-war under the door with the big cats.
She particularly enjoys romping on my bed.
Or putting herself on Facebook.
I held her when I got home from work tonight and observed the big cats' reaction. They didn't seem disturbed, so I let Little Miss go free. The big cats hated that idea....

The big cats are slowly adjusting to the presence of Little Miss. I bought two toys and tied them to a piece of yarn. The yarn is under the bathroom door, so they can play with each other on both sides of the door, playing tug of war. Little Miss thinks that is great fun!
How small is Hermione? She can fit in my camera bag.
The cats have all seen each other, when the bathroom door is open. Today I tried a new experiment - I put Hermione into a...

I has a kitten
I've debated getting a third cat for a while. Not enough room, would that make me a crazy cat lady, etc. I have two grown cats.
And thanks to a trip to a local pet store to get new cat toys ... I have a kitten. This is Hermione.
When I was holding her and trying to decide if I really wanted to adopt her, people kept smiling at us. Like we looked as if we belong together. She curled up in my hands and purred. I knew she was the right kitt...
Confessions of a fangirl
I first took notice of Kevin McKidd when he appeared on Grey's Anatomy. I'd stopped watching GA during Season 4, but caught the season finale with the house of candles and decided to give Season 5 a try. Owen caught my eye, and I remembered how much I liked Cristina Yang and Miranda Bailey, so I kept watching. Slowly, I started to want know more about Owen Hunt and the man who played him, Kevin McKidd.
I can tell you when I became a Cristina/Owen...

I am a blood donor
I was scheduled to give platelets this Saturday. Yesterday morning, Canadian Blood Services called and asked me to come in tonight, as I was a match. I figured this was a special request, and I agreed to do it, although I said I might be late. I prefer to donate on Saturdays so that I don't have to deal with downtown traffic.
I got there half an hour early, actually, by avoiding the Deerfoot. I had cookies until a chair was ready for me. One of the nurses was the one who helped track me down as a match - they were having a hard time finding someone...

Lake Louise
Taken August 9, 2009.
One of the many benefits of living in Calgary is being close to the Rockies. I like to just drive out for the day, exploring Banff National Pa...

I like to take pictures
Cathedral Grove, Vancouver Island, British Columbia. August 2010.
My sister and I stopped here and walked around for a few hours. For the first time, I filled up 1.5 memory cards. Just drinking in the gre...
Moving In
I've been using http://angelamermaid.livejournal.com as my blog since 2003. I closed it to the public a year ago, out of a greater desire to minimize my online presence.
Then I realized that I was posting to a diminishing audience, as more and more people leave LJ. So ... here is my new blog. I post for me, not an audience, but at the same time, I don't like feeling like I'm posting in a vacu...
