almost done!!

hey,

it's been awhile. have been pretty busy these past couple of weeks. Trying to study and then trying to also have somewhat of a life during the breaks. So, here's the updates:

Molly: desperately in need of some play time. Her play time lately has been watching daddy sweat over the deck, and watching her mommy watch her daddy and dance around singing "sitting on the dock of the bay" over and over b/c she can't remember the rest of the song.

Feiona: no one really cares about the poor cat. but she's gotten more playful, especially in the morning. I got her a string that she loves to play with and she does this funny thing with her butt (sticks it up in the air and wiggles it back and forth) before she jumps to catch the string. it's really pretty funny. so we've been doing hunting exercises in hopes of building up her kill count.

sidenote: roger saw a mouse come out onto the room yesterday while we were taking a break outside. Molly saw it and really wished she could jump that high (based on the look of her face, no, she didn't "say" anything). and i had feiona turned the other way and was petting her so she missed it. but we're working with her. She's a slow learner (as are all cats).

Roger: is doing amazing work!!! The picture of the new deck are on facebook. He did all that in three days!! how incredible is that?! so incredible proud of him. He was pretty sweaty and nasty though!! Which was yet another inspiration to do that 5 loads of clothes that have been needing to be done. They are still not put up yet but they at least are clean and laid out in piles on the floor. also they are making great barriers for our sneak attack cat to hide behind before she pounces on her unsuspecting prey (mostly my stack of notes/note cares/pens/alarm clock/etc).

Me: I'm boring as always, studying. but had a great time spending time with Roger working on the deck. It was great to be outside and use my muscles a little bit (but just a little, don't want to get too carried away or anything!)

OK, that's it for now. Now it's time to get some hard-core studying done. Look forward to seeing everyone soon!
