gone to the cats....A complete blog

Our morning started with parking in a ramp, where the lot attendant was SLEEPING!!! Elissa had to honk her horn in order to wake the guy up!

We arrived at the River Center/Roy Wilkings Auditorium and were greeted by many signs showing us the way!

We went in. Paid our $4 entrance, which could have been $3 if we had a Winter Carnival button.
We were also all stamped so re-entry was TOTALLY Allowed!!

One of the first things I saw while walking around was this woman come from almost no where and take her cat out and start furiously brushing it. I just LOVE her hair piece.

Then I felt the need to take random pictures of cats...
OHHH, and this was during one of the judging sessions. CHECK OUT THAT HAIRLESS CAT!!! SUPER UGLY! Almost looks like a dog. But yeah.
Then We walked around looking at the cats in their cages. And we happened to talk to this lady that had kittens for sale. These kittens were quite playful. They are only $350 a piece if you want one.

Check out this Cat Shrine. One of those pictures on top though, is a Cat that Becca wants.


Next we walked to a souvenir stand in the back corner. They had Cat purses and Jewelery. It took a lot for me to NOT buy these cat earrings, but I totally made it out of there without purchasing.


So on we moved, and check out this 'cage'/'home' for this cat. I don't like it. It's like a glass china hutch, how much air movement is there for this cat?


Gotta take a picture of the playboy cat! Actually it's quite a pretty tiger looking cat!


Just some cat paraphernalia hanging out in front of a cage


Check out the lace on that cage!

Becca looking for and finding a cat she likes a lot

OF COURSE Korat is the good luck cat of thailand!



This is the cape and hat that will be worn by the winning 'house cat'. Part of the judging involves the winter carnival royalty coming in and putting the cape and hat on the cat. Judging it's demeanor while wearing it too.

NOW to the cat toy store! We were drawn by a giant toy flying in a circle.


How could you pass it up? Elissa bought one.

and I contemplated buying some of these: Yes, New Luggage, with cats on it.

Here is Elissa's new toy. Now she needs a trip to Axman for the motor to make it go in circles!


Our final cat that we looked at, the HUGE Lion like cat. It is bigger than some dogs!!! and yeah, it totally looks like a relative to a jungle cat!


Then we went to Cafe Louisiana for brunch and that was the end of our day.

A night in pictures

Andie and her 'surprise' You know she doesn't like pictures...
Next , the table was set with bread and HOMEMADE BUTTER. It was sooo salty and soooo amazing...I kept eating bread for the butter....

NEXT came the drinks. Jill got a "Pool boy martini" and Andie's blackberry drink
Amy's drink came in a mason jar glass...Kat's drink is in the distance.

Next came presents as we waited for our appetizer


We were so hungry, we devoured the baked brie and apples, before I got a picture!
Now for the Main courses:
Jill's
Amy's
Becca's
Kat's (the Tuesday special):

Andie's:
Jaime's spot:
Then we settled on blueberry bread pudding with icecream:
And of course the group shot!!! at the end of the night. KAT was a bit closer this time.

Over and Out. That was our night in pictures

Official Again!

So after one hectic morning. Debating here yes or no. Then calling registrars across the state. I finally got into GEOMETRY :) Now I can finally, go to plays and games as a student...LEGALLY!

And I get to buy loose leaf paper and binders and mechanical pencils.

I get to have homework time and coffee/hot chocolate breaks.

And all the fun stuff from being a student!
