Pink Velvet

This week has been a very busy with, I've been FULL to the brim with homework, but also enjoying wings and mixology and the regular stuff. I've even been getting some good wedding plans worked on! I've been too busy to blog, BUT I have been keeping photos in line for when I got a chance!
This week I baked a bit, some cookies and cupcakes. I Have big dreams to bake something fun for halloween but I am quickly running out of time! I'm going to do my best to get something put together this week for a girls night we're all having on the 30th. I am torn between making a cake or doing another round of cupcakes... we will see! Anyway as you can see from the picture my Pink velvet cupcakes turned out to be more red looking than pink, but its a nicer red than the brown/red the recipe made. I made a cream cheese icing to go on top and had some fun piping it out. I think it looks/tastes better with a little less icing than the usual ones I make, just because the cream cheese icing is SO rich. Instead of eating these ALL myself, they were shipped off to the boys house and megans house :). All found good hungry tummies.




And a kittykat update. The kittens are growing big! Apollo had his second vet appointment and is very very healthy. He weighs in at 3.2 pounds, and met two dogs while waiting in the reception area. Needless to say, they didn't become friends. The vet ooogled over how cute Apollo is, and how fluffy he is getting. Apollo even licked the vets nose, I think he loved the attention. Sirius and Apollo go back to the vet on November 19th together to get their last needles. Which will be so fun to try to control both of them. But I do think they wil be a good comfort to each other. Here are some cutie pictures of them from the past week and a bit!

Not Just another Bathroom item!

I painted my toes last night, and I brought out some Q-tips from the bathroom. And it began. I noticed that i was short quite a few Q-Tips after they were in the living room for 5 minutes. I peeked under the couch and Sirius had them with him and was rolling around and acting like a fool. This morning I threw one into the garbage and he dove in after it wildly. Not being a kitten expert I thought this was like tinfoil balls or bells, but it seems like this may be a Sirius thing afterall. Apollo tried to get into it, but after a while he gets bored. Enjoy the film! (there isn't any sound sadly, but I am laughing a lot)



I Will upload another one soon!!

Oops continued; Did I mention Phanny is a boy?

Okay if you are thinking that we've made a mistake with determining the kittens gender again, you are right! Our newest addition to the family has followed in Apollos footsteps and dooped us all! At the vet we learned that we have gained another little boy, and that in fact 'Phanny the girl kitten' was never meant to be. So I'd like to introduce Sirius, our new little boy kitten! Named after Sirius Black, from Harry Potter! (so it is pronounced Serious)
On another note, I had my eyes examed and sadly... I will NOT be getting cool fun amazingly awesome glasses. :( My vision is still perfect. BUT i had a lot of fun getting my eyes checked, as Dr. Noseworthy was fairly young and had a great sense of humor. We shared a long laugh over a family guy joke, "Jafar at the optometrist"... he thought it was hilarious because sadly it is so close to reality of optometrist life. He reccomended not to take the Jafar approach but rather to go with my first impression lol (see video).

(poor Quality but it is the only one i could find.)

And now, please enjoy silly pictures of Sirius and Apollo!

Welcome to the Jungle...

OKay, i Promise. This will be THE LAST blog where I introduce a new member of our family. We have officially become a zoo. But I would like to introduce, PHANNY (formerly known as Binx) has become a part of our family. She came to us is dire need of a home, as a friend of ours had to get rid of her. Phanny is a recycled name, but we just couldn't let it slip away. Apollo and Phanny are meant to be friends. He is kinda plump and goofy, while she is wirey and fast. They make a hilarious team, sharing kibbles, a litter, toys and sleep times. They took a little encouragement to warm up to each other, but they have been GREAT for each other. Both kittens were a little wild before (as Haley, Phannys other mommy, would compare scratches with me in medieval history class) but now that they have each other to play with they hae really calmed down and even become a little cuddly :). Haley got Phanny(Binx) the same weekend we got Apollo, so the two kittens are close in age. Now for many pictures!
(please bare with me its not uploading properly i will upload them tomrorow!! )

Plans for this week; cleaning, eye exam, baking a pumpkin pie to bring home, a lot of readings! Its just going to be a week of a lot of schoolwork I think, hopefully getting me ahead of the game for next week!

Well Apollo is fitting in nicely with our family, and I am so excited to bring him to the Valley at the end of the week for thanksgiving. He has adjusted well to the apartment, and we have finally let him run about the place when we are gone out (and we usually come home to a snoring fluffball). Today his litter was moved into the bathroom, so he'll stop stinking up our bedroom with his litter. He also got his second treatment of worms goop this morning, which wasn't the funnest time for him. Of course that didn't slow him down at all, onto his usual routine of sitting on Scottys desk while he works. Apollo even follows along and "helps" as much as he can.

Apollo-kins!

Thats the cutest nickname we have for him... sometimes Pollllllooooo. Its hard to match a masculine nickname to him, becuase he's just so darn cute! To prove my point I'm posting a video of him exploring the new lid to the guinea pigs cage. We HAD to create one becuase he was so interested in living in there with the piggies. Please take note of his tail action, it is so cute!
