Happy late Valentine's Day!
Hope everyone had a nice holiday. Patryk and I decided a few weeks ago to not do any presents on Valentine's Day, mostly because we have purchased so much for our new place (washer and dryer, bedroom set) and have a lot left to purchase (kitchen table, tv stand). So instead we went to a nice dinner at the "Number 1 Restaurant in Newton, KS" according to TripAdvisor, a place called Reba's. It was a good way to spend our first Valentine's Day.
I'm currently having a moment a peace, which has become rare in the past week, due to a new addition to our family.....a kitten named Professor Whiskers, aka Whiskey. We adopted Whiskey last weekend from a shelter here in town. He is five months old and is very friendly, playful, and VOCAL. The vet said he looks like he has some Siamese in him, which wouldn't surprise me, because he is only silent when he's asleep. And actually, the only reason I'm having a moment of peace is because he is currently on time out up in the spare bedroom. I've never had a cat before - Patryk grew up with them and wanted one desperately - so I'm learning a lot about kittens. For example, the news ticker at the bottom of the tv screen is worth attacking....multiple times. Also, there is no reason NOT to climb into any open cabinet, dishwasher, or even the refrigerator if I have it open for longer than five seconds. He and Bella are getting along well. At first, Bella was terrified of Whiskey. Now she vacillates between wanting to play with him and wanting to pretend he doesn't exist. And when she wants to "play," she tends to try and jump on him or nip his ears, which he naturally doesn't appreciate. When he wants to play with her, he lies on his back and boxes her with his paws or pounces on her fluffy tail, which she doesn't appreciate. Hopefully they'll learn to play together nicely. Right now the best thing is when I have one toy in each hand so I can play with both of them at the same time. Frankly, it's exhausting.
I'll post videos this weekend once I find my USB cord!
Otherwise, not much else going on! Some people wondered about my new job. It's at a big communications company in downtown Wichita, but I always hesitate to blog about work, so I won't add too much detail. I still have 11 more days of 'freedom' before I start working, so I'll try to enjoy it. Right now I have to say I'm an excellent housewife :) I make dinner five nights a week, clean, do all the laundry, take care of the pets, and I made a fantastic cheesecake the other day just because I was bored. Of course, all that will change on the 26th, but we're taking advantage of my domestic excellence while we can! (And yes, Patryk is a good help - he does the dishes a lot and always makes me dinner on the weekend).
Well, no joke, I hear the kitten batting the door upstairs with his paws and meowing to get out, so I'm on the move again!
Love to all,
A
