This is from BFF Game Night a few weeks ago.

She rested while we all didn't play any of those games. Boo brought her "I Love the 80s" flashcards so we spent the whole night yelling out "Journey!" and "Corey Haim! NO! Corey Feldman!" and "The Facts of Life!"

After Boo and Christina left we broke into teams for "Taboo" where Karla and Ally beat me and Carroll by exactly one point. Daaaaang, G.

Mabel had never experienced a slumber party before so she was more than thrilled by the vast number of warm snuggle spots to sleep in. Good times!

Maude’s anniversary… from ms. jared @ sinister girl 23 Jul 2007 6:56 pm

[Love] [ cat blogging] [ mabel] [ maude]

Today marks one year without Maude.

I don't think I'd have survived it without Mabel, I really, really don't.

I'm learning so much with the Cat Behavior Program, and one of the main things I'm learning is that I was a shitty, irresponsible mama to Maude for most of her life.

I guess that comes with being a young mom though. It takes many years to develop a certain level of maturity and "putting others firstity". I think I've finally gotten there though, and Mabel is reaping all the rewards that poor old Maudie sowed.

Sorry I wrecked half your life, Maude. I just didn't know any better. I'm making it all up to Mabel though, and I still do miss you, my number one old girl...

We had an earthquake this morning and poor Mabel nearly lost her shit. I think it was her first one.

It's good to know though, that when the big one comes, she clearly knows to duck and take cover. If I get crushed or swallowed up, oh well. It's every girl for herself in this house, I guess.

This is what happens when I get up to refill my tea.

Only moments before she'd been curled up so daintily in my lap, but as soon as I move she's in there trying to hog the whole chair to herself. (A girl after my own heart!)
