Seriously, that cat is a minx... This is the photo Steve emailed me this morning - he must have been checking on the cats before he left, and found Radar utilizing the bottom piece of my sewing machine case as his own personal cat bed. And look how innocent that cat pretends to be...but I'm not fooled! Notice how Sylvester, who is our box-obsessed kitty, didn't deem the case bottom worthy of his box cravings; instead, he prefers the cozy fleece blanket in a patch of sun.
The full-size photo is even better!
Alright, y'all...this is probably the last real post for a while...so Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy 2009, etc. etc. See ya on the flip side! :)
So, this summer, my good 'ol Canon PowerShot S500 starting turning some pictures pink:
Which was really sad...the Elph was my first digital camera...Steve bought it for me in the fall of 2004 (yeah, maybe a little slow to hop on the digital camera bandwagon). And it has taken some real gems, including this (which is still my favorite photo I've ever taken):
But it seemed like the logical time to get a new camera...and since I've had such good luck with Canon thus far, I decided to get the Canon Powershot SD790IS.
It came today, and I had to do a picture comparison.
Test subject: Sylvester
Spot: by the coffee table in the living room, approximately 6 feet away
Old camera, max zoom:
This is what we found when we got home this morning from the Turkey Trot. I rounded the corner to the kitchen, and stopped in my tracks when I saw this:
The culprit:
There was baker's sugar all over the floor, he poked holes in the carton, and then seems to have played in the sugar. What I don't understand is how he managed to keep the 4 lb. carton upright after knocking it off the shelf. Maybe I should set up a "Radar cam" to try to figure it out...but then he would be on good behavior if I tried that.
Today, I'm thankful that Steve had the foresight to put the apple pie in the fridge before we left this morning. I fear the pie may have been the victim if he had not done that!
PS - if that ugly linoleum and the pink carpet aren't signs that we need to get our own place, I don't know what is!
I almost cheated today for lunch, but got Low-cal lemonade instead.
So I will reward myself with posting a cute kitties photo:
Such chubbies!
Sylvester has been dying to get inside this box for a while now, so when I finally emptied it of its cans, I called him over and he hopped in right away. But all I could think when he got inside was "this looks like a redneck cat carrier."
Radar is giving Syl the stink eye cuz Syl is having more fun than he is (you can't have fun w/out 'Dar's permission).
My little helper Sylvester becomes "Sewvester":
He LOVES my little chair I sit on when I use my machine, and never hesitates to hop up when I abandon the chair to press seams, etc.
