Two posts in a week? That must be some kind of record for me. I hope you won't be too disappointed but there will be no partial nudity in this one.
For those of you who have stuck around anyway, here's the results of the photo meme that's been going round. Makes it sound like a virus.
ladybracknell wanted to see : something I'm working on for work, my kitties and the last thing I bought that really pleased me to buy.
Working up different color ways for a new design. Soon (hopefully) to be seen at a resort near you.
Ulysses presses my clean laundry.
Fran and me having our post-bath quality time.
Murphy sleeping off his tuna OD.
And Remus taking advantage of the warm roofing tiles.
This is the first coffee table I've ever bought. I've either inheirited, swapped or scavenged all my previous ones and finally decided not to refinish the current one and get something nice. It's Mission-style and matches the buffet table seen just behind Murphy's butt.
Next up is
gilpin25 and she wanted to see my favorite TShirt or Jumper, my desk at work, something I bought on holiday and as many kitty photos I'd like to throw in.
The Tee I bought at the Quiksilver store in Kauai. I love it for the design because it's obviously a very friendly shirt. The sweatshirt is one of mine and I love it because our Bomber Hoods are the just the most comfortable, longest lasting, coolest fleece in the business.
At shot of my office and one of me actually working at my desk. Notice the classy work clothes I'm forced to wear on a daily basis.
Bought this anklet from a local vendor in Kauai last year. It's made of Koa wood and all the girls in my family ended up getting one.
I'm throwing in this shot of Murphy just to prove he does more that eat and sleep. He also gets stuck in bushes trees.
Moving on to
shimotsuki 's requests.
My favorite spot to sit and read is on my loft (which I built a few years ago). It faces east and gets a good bit of sun in the morning hours but I often have to compete with the cats for it.
This is a view from my bedroom window. Not a picturesque neighborhood but on a clear day I can see all the way across the Los Angeles basin to the San Gabriel mountains. Today, however, the smoke from the wildfires is obscuring the view.
I made this trellis a couple weeks back to brighten up the planter box just outside my living room window. So far, I've been able to keep the hibiscus alive and they've been putting out some very pretty blooms.
mrstater wanted to see my skateboard, something I need to clean (I'm not showing you the fridge) and my favorite shoes.
Here's my board (top and bottom views). It's made of bamboo which is way cool.
I'm refinancing my home loan and getting some cash out which I'm going to use to finish the guest bathroom project I started a long time ago. The tub is going to be replaced with a shower and so I'm starting on the demolition before I hire someone to do the really hard part. I probably won't clean it up just yet, as i have more mess to make.
My Vans. They rock.
And finally (I can hear the sighs of relief from here)
sspring92 wanted to see my shiny new 'puter, my mode of transportation and my makeup.
The Mac. It's so nice and fast and the keyboard (when it's not being stepped on by a cat) has a soft touch. I love it. A lot.
My 1998 Jetta. I'm a Volkswagen gal. First car was the Family '68 Van, then bought a '67 Squareback from my uncle, which I had for 15 years before this one. I haven't named it but most of my friends call it "Drumher". I don't, tho'
I don't wear makeup so I'll round out this photo meme with a group photo of the kitties. This has only happened once and I was quite amazed that I was able to quietly run upstairs, get my camera and take the picture before anyone woke up!
I hope you've enjoyed this little glimpse into my life. Thank you for playing.
