Merry Christmas to You All!

We’re wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year…

Here at the Moby, we had our holiday celebration today, since the girls will be going to their Dad to hang out with him and his family tomorrow. It’s a good thing and we had a wonderful day. Got up early and did our holiday gift giving and had a lovely time.

One of the fun things, and unexpected, was that I bought the girls each a Bento lunch box! If you’re not familiar with the Bento Box… google it and have fun looking at all the fancy lunches that folks make in these little Japanese crazy art forms! The girls and I spent part of the afternoon making little treats for them to take with them! Fun stuff… I’ll post a few more of our experiments!

I hope that you all have a wonderful holiday, and have your family around you and a great time! My best wishes for you and yours for the coming new year! Be safe everyone! Have fun!

New Computer is Here

Santa wore a FedEx uniform today! And he brought me my new to me computer and monitor! Oh MY GOSH!!! I’m suffering a little bit from overwhelmingness… New keyboard, new software, HUGE monitor, and trying to figure out what to bring over from the old one and just how to do it all My old laptop was 7 years old and I’d had it for 5… and the software is all very dated. This new one has a lot of newer stuff on it, but at the same time, it’s overwhelming and I think, no I’m sure, I will going to reloading a bit of the older stuff back on for awhile!

It’s got a 23 inch wide screen monitor. That alone is so exciting. I do a lot of graphic arts for my various businesses and for all my bluegrass efforts and the band and all. Rocks, too. I do two monthly publications for the Opry that are 11 x 17 and I can see the entire page layout now on the monitor!!! Unbelievable. No more scrolling over and over and over and over.

I got my Itunes music all transferred and most of my fonts and important files. Still having a few little issues with some of my workhorse programs, but that will hopefully resolve itself with more twiddling around by my little self. An unstable system can be a little tense, but thankfully, it’s a nice quiet time without much stress for me to do any work for awhile, so I have time to go at this slowly and leisurely!

Still, going back and forth between the two computers, I am very surprised at the speed differences and all. I’m really looking forward to the increased productivity that this new system will bring to 2010! Yah!

And more blogging!!!!

Of course, that’s the best part, eh?

Box Wars

DSC07018

Well Luna is feeling a little, well, evil of late.

She’s not that happy over the addition of another kitty to the ranch. She’s tolerant, but well, not pleased.

And then to top it off, it’s snowing and cold and she HATES snow and cold weather. Refuses to go outside for the most part and that is what she lives for. Going outside.

So she’s been a pretty much grinchy, grumbly, pointy toed unhappy kitty and Jack has been taking the brunt of her frustration.

So I decided to give her a little diversion… I put a little kitty weed in a box and showed her what was up and she was ready to have a ball. She was in the box in 24.5 seconds flat and was rolling and licking and slapping the lid and just having a ball. So I went back to my computer work, smug in the knowledge that I had brought a little bit of fun into kitty Luna’s life.

Well it wasn’t but a few minutes when I hear hissing and kitty fighting and little Nina has gotten in the mix!!! Sweet little orphaned Nina is apparently a real lioness when kitty nip is introduced to the mix and within a few moments, she had evicted Luna from the box. And Luna was not happy.

So I got Nina her own box and some more nip and she was happy… and Luna reclaimed her box.

Well… all was well in the kitty kingdom until Jack came in and decided that he wanted Luna’s box and apparently weed was worth fighting for, and he successfully ousted Luna, once again from her box!

Which I found very amusing because in the past he was ALWAYS pawned by her and was generally reduced to a hissing scaredy-cat kitty when she was bullying him. Apparently, catnip makes the man, and he decided he wanted that box.

So I kicked him out, put nip in his box, and reinstalled Luna in her box like some South American puppet drug lord, and laughed as all three of them settled into their cardboard castles, watching the others with very menancing glares, as they protected their stinky weed box until they all fell asleep in a drug stupor the the rest of the afternoon.

Ah, the life of a Kitty in the Moby….
