This will make your day. I laugh hysterically every time I watch it. I love how the kitty keeps looking around to see if anyone's coming. HAPPY TUESDAY!

Snow Sabbatical
Hellooooo out there! Just wanted to let you know that I'm taking a little break this week -- a Snow Sabbatical, if you will. On Tuesday, I'm heading up North to spend three days in NYC...and then over to PA to play in the Pocono Mountains. Yes, I am leaving this absolutely gorgeous Florida Winter to experience a real Northeast Winter. The predicted highs in NYC are in the 20s, and down to the teens in The Poconos. Yowzah!
I finally broke down and invested in some decent snow boots. After traipsing around Colorado in Skechers tennis shoes, I learned that falling, sliding, and fear of frostbite can really put a damper on one's fun. Imagine that! Check them out...I fell in love with this shade of green! Aren't they cute?
I'll be back soon, so don't stay away too long. Y'all come back now, ya hear?
Jasper is my trusty packing assistant....
....while Stella supervises the whole operation.

To Breathe Again...
Look at all this crap! Can you believe it? What you see above represents the measures I've taken to breathe freely again. The nice Fed-Ex lady brought me three very large packages stuffed full of these lovely items.
I've been been on the allergy train since I was about 13. Over the years, I've used every pill, spray, and serum known to man. Eventually they stopped working. So I was recently re-tested and learned that I'm now highly allergic to 30+ airborne inhalants. Crazy, huh? So I'm going big this time. I took the plunge on the allergy drops (2-3 year commitment). And I pumped up my allergy paraphernalia (see above). I also picked up some asthma inhalers. And last but not least, I had a nasal procedure performed that should make my airways more free. Whew! After all this, I should definitely breathe better soon.
My allergy doctor recommended that I keep my kitties out of the bedroom??? If you have cats, you know this is an absurd and impossible notion. Cats are: The Fast & The Curious. However...I have been trying. I kicked Stella and Jasper out of the boudoir, but they're not pleased. We've had howling, whining and crying in the Harper household. Not only are they bitter about losing their bedroom, but I think they're afraid of the air purifiers. They keep lurking around the devices without really getting near them..you know that low crawl that cats do with their eyes peeled for danger. It's quite hysterical.
Since they were forced to find new hiding spots, they discovered more interesting places to hang out. This morning, I found Jasper camped out in the litter box closet. He stayed there for hours in protest, and I couldn't even lure him out with treats! Only a cat could be so mad that he would choose lounging near a toilet vs. relaxing on the couch.

Reading Day
Today was so relaxing. I slept in, watched some cooking shows, ran a few errands and then...read a book. I'm in a book club that meets in two days, and I was only on Chapter 5 of 24. So I got crackin' with some serious bookage this afternoon. I'm reading Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. Stella likes to read with me. This is her sitting in my lap, trying to sneak in a good ole face rub on the pages. That's my girl!

My Super Model Kitties
We all know what happens when you're child-less. You get that crazy pet replacement syndrome! I snap shots of my kitties all the time because they're always doing something funny or sweet. Here are a few recent pix of my Fur Kids, Stella & Jasper. They were workin' the camera like a couple of bikini models on the beach. Enjoy!
