started on new greeting card designs
created a new business card
talked to Bernie
taken Toby to the acupuncturist
added a photo guide and commission email form to my web site
purchased items from Super Target
returned most of the same items to Super Target
picked up cat food
lusted after these handbags, I think I will have to have one
found out that the I Want That! epsiode that I am on airs (Dec 8th!)
exercised by doing yoga & walking
debated whether to go to CHA or not in January

We refer to our cats' droopy bellies as "fat bags". It's our favorite place to rub.

I think cats grow out of that charming habit with the paws over the head. When mine were kittens, they would stretch out on their backs with forepaws over the head and back paws flopped open. Now they only do the back paws.
I agree with Dee, you can never post too many pics of Stan. And Mabel! She looks like such a soft, furry bundle of love.

He's cute and adorable!

Comment to Molly's comment:
Actually some cats don't outgrow it, mine is 14 now and he still does this, I'll have to post a pic to my blog, I took his pic about a month ago. The other one, Pepper, never did it even when he was a kitten.

Btw I meant to tell you he has a beautiful smile. Does he meow or does he chirp? My orange tabby chirps like a bird.
