Message from Sir Woodrow

My job has been very hard lately. As head kitty (and only kitty) of the household I have been on constant alert for any noises, movements or food that appear in this residence. I don't think the humans realize that I have a 24/7 career protecting them from the evils that could ensue.

I do have some free time to enjoy the things that I like best. My favorites happen to be sleeping on my back, tearing the plastic off the newspapers, securing my dominance over the red cube, eating popcorn, tomato soup and cheese...cannot get enough of that tomato soup.

I have been working on my weight. With my knightly "sir" title it is hard to keep up with the demands of staying strong and handsome. My regime is to chase the laser pointer and use the stairs as my gym. I do have a before photo that I will release as soon as I work a little on toning up the belly. In the meantime I believe I will ask the humans for a good brushing....eliminating the puffiness that occurs with my luxurious coat. Very demanding work, I believe I am due a nice nap today for it all.

Yum....cake

So, not much happened in my world this weekend...the usual..laundry, cleaning, watching movies. Saw a little indie film entitled, "Things to Do". It started out slow and I thought I would not be able to make it through because the acting was a little stiff, but I am glad I held out because it turned out to be a pretty funny little film.

Because I did not have time or energy to take pictures of things at home, I will link to some things that I think are pretty divine. So, dessert...who can really say no. I love these cake designs and I have a feeling that I would not be able to eat them because they are works for art: This cake is by: http://www.sarahmagid.com/index.html


This next one is off of a contest where you can vote on your favorite cake: http://www.brides.com/brides/cakes
Ohhh, and if you vote for your favorite cake you may win it....so go and vote for a cake you like and then maybe we can all have it at my wedding. :)
Right now I have a fabulous plan for the dessert part of the reception, but hey...we can always add a free cake. :)

Lazy Days and shame on me for not posting

Aloha! Whew, I have not posted in a little while here, but that is probably because the last few weeks have been lazy and not that thrilling. I am sure you all want to hear about how I have been working out and my swimsuit has changed to a completely different color due to the over abundance of chlorine in the gym pool and how I have been laying around on the couch getting only about a quarter of the things that I have on my to-do list done.

Over the past two weekends we have been hanging out with friends, enjoying the lovely clean smell of backyard grown lemons in our kitchen and taking much needed naps on the couch with Mr. Woodrow. Here are some pics:
Probably one of the last times we will be at the Poop Deck as it is in the process of being sold and then probably demolished for some trendy hot spot in Hermosa: mmmm... lemony: I love throwing these down the disposal in the sink cause the scent permeates everything. Woody would hate me saying this, but he snores....loudly...it is like a purr snore. Please please no photos!

Palma Springs

So, this weekend we got away. We headed out to the desert for some 80 degree temps and off-roading. We took the geology tour road through Joshua Tree.
I took tons of photos of rock formations and the vast expanse full of Joshua trees. They are so strange. The weather was perfect...not too hot and not too chilly. We spent most of the day off-road navigating the rocks. The trucks got a bit dirty as well:
After being on the road all day we stayed in Palm Springs. We got in after sunset and came to the Doral Resort (located in Cathedral City) which is where we had our reservation. The resort had overbooked themselves so they sent us over to the Holiday Inn in Palm Springs and paid for our stay. It was nice since the hotel was newly renovated and their pool was awesome and just the thing I needed in the morning.....pool and two HOT TUBS. :) So, I got to swim and gaze out at the snow topped mountains.
Overall a fabulous weekend, even though the truck now needs some welding work done on the front shocks. Somewhere off-road the front left shock just tore off it's bolt. We were able to drive back with it dangling with no problem. We stopped at the Outlet stores in Cabazon which I now notice are not really a good deal at all...in fact most of their prices were retail.
