The bacon is perfectly paired with a lovely almond latte. Something I can make for myself at home with my handy "Barista" machine I got while still working at Starbucks. (sorry for the bad pic)
I have been getting into the groove of using my machine more lately but only for myself. Because, to be honest, making more than one hot latte is kind of a pain in the butt!Also, remember that mouse update I gave a few weeks ago? Uh, yeah......
Hopefully we got THAT problem taken care of! This is Jones. She came to us a few weeks ago. My Uncle Steve was running on the dirt roads by my grandma's house and passed a shoe box with her inside. Now I know I have mentioned we live in the boon-docks (about 5 minutes from Gram's house) and I should be used to animal dumping. But I never am. She was so tiny, maybe 4 weeks old, dehydrated and famished. So after some discussion with Dustin (including pleading, begging and bargaining) I got a kitten.
She is pretty amazing. She only had a few small accidents within the first week but now is fully litter box trained. The first night she was here, she began forging relationships with each of us, including Jesse and Brea. And, undoubtedly, I am "Mommy". She tests my limits, respects my authority most and comes to me when she needs a good cuddle or nap. Also, I am the main feeder/waterer/litter scooper. So, you know, I do all the mommy things.
However, 9:30 at night seems to be her bewitching hour and man-oh-man is that cat CRAZY. Biting, clawing, racing around, growling and generally being wild. Dustin thinks it is great fun, when we aren't watching a movie!
And to answer to unspoken question: Her name is Jones because we have an Alien theme. Ripley is our dog (the heroine of the movie) and Jones is her cat. Ripley and Jones are the only ones that survive at the end of the movie. For those who think I am crazy to name my female cat something sort of masculine, take heart. We normally call her Jonesie.

Lol - riiiight, because the main concern is whether her name is masculine, rather than the fact that you name her after the Alien movies... :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, yes, bacon is kind of perfection and zomg, almond lattes! What kind of syrup are you using?
I HAVE gotten some weird looks about Jones' name. And I am using Monin right now. Assuming I like the 1883, I will probs switch to that. But for now, Monin makes me happy!
ReplyDeletethe cat i had when i was little had a similar bewitching hour. she would run around the room like crazy and i would get under my covers and scream for my stepdad to come get the cat. why do cats do that?!
ReplyDeletealso, almond latte sounds lovely!
new post requested elaborating on major life changes!
ReplyDeleteWow. She looks so tiny there. She is now bigger. And fatter. And more independent. But still has the same witching hour tendencies. And she still sleeps all curly like that.
