Recent Acquisitions

I thought I'd highlight a couple of our favorite newly-acquired apartment decorations.

1. Original Artwork - When our new kitten, Machete, jumped up onto the scanner, quick thinking Sandra hit the photocopy button. The resulting image was lovely. You can make out the orange cat fur and a couple of paws at the bottom. We loved it so much, we bought a frame for it -

2. Decorative Drink Mixer Jug - We couldn't resist this jug of Blue Hawaii drink mix. The Blue Hawaii is something I haven't enjoyed since I actually visited Hawaii about 10 years ago. 1 part drink mixer + 1 part rum and then off to the hot tub.

The best part of this item is the cool jug though. I'm almost afraid to drink out of it because of how cool it looks with all that blue liquid in there. I guess I could refill it with water and add a 2000 Flushes tablet -

Blue Hawaii.

Machete!

Rebel Leady Boy & Sandra are proud to introduce our 3rd (and final) cat, Machete -

Sandra & Machete.
So now our cat trilogy is complete.

Since our other two cats are male and can get a bit uptight and territorial around each other from time to time, Sandra thought it might break the tension if we brought in a little girl who they did not perceive as a threat and it is working out very well. They are all a lot more relaxed now, which makes no sense to me, because Machete likes to continually terrorize everybody and everything.

Machete is a cat of action.
Also - Sandra refurbished a cat tree on our back porch. Disappointed with the usual browns and beiges, she stripped our green one and gave it a make-over. She is now quite handy with both the glue and staple guns.

In other news, one day when our usual swimming pool had kids in it (we hate kids), we wandered over to a second one and discovered it had an outdoor spa next to it. I love jumping in there. Since our move, I'm only about 10 minutes from my workplace; so I can usually beat the neighbors to it after work.
