take my scissors, please

I got to go home early on Friday, so I took Gandalf outside again. This was the result:





Gandalf's head and some ivy.




Gandalf's head and some pink azaleas.




His tail with some lavender azaleas...




...and again with some red azaleas.

I'm done posting pictures today. I promise.

I love my new icon. As usual, the ever-generous Jessica iconed the picture for me.

I have a very busy week coming up...a million lunches, dinner tomorrow night with Yolanda (my Streets girl), band practice, Maundy Thursday service, more band practice, other Easter activities. In my "spare time," I need to be working on Debra's scrapbook. I'm not very happy with it so far. I'm doing it chronologically, but I feel like the book has no flow. Each page is a different color instead of flowing all together, and I'm running out of creative ideas for borders. I can't crop the pictures, either, because I don't have very many pictures to begin with and I don't want to end up with a five-page book. I feel that it looks very unprofessional and I'm sure my mother won't like it. Kathy has to keep reminding me that it's Debra's book and she's going to love it. I am stressed anyway.

A nap would be nice right now.

Does Gandalf really walk on a leash? My cats would freak out!

LOL! Those are great! :)

Yeah, he'll walk on the leash, but it's a wrestling match trying to put it on him. By now, he's surely made the connection that leash=outside, so you'd think he would be more cooperative. But he hates it. I wish I could let him walk free, but it makes me too nervous.

I don't get tired of the pictures! :) More Ovaltine, please.

Don't get discouraged about the book. You're looking at it from a design and flowy perspective, but Deb is going to just enjoy looking at what pictures you chose and that you even made her the book. I get caught up in details about things I design, but I have to remember that others just want the information and won't notice that as much. So...that is my analogy for you.

Also, do you like how I refer to your sister, who I have never met, as "Deb"?

Thanks for the encouragement. :)

Yeah, I think, when I meet Dawn, I'll call her "D" or something. :) lol. No one calls my sister Deb. It's Debs, since we're all about the unnecessary plurals in my family. :) Don't ever call her Debbie, though. She might kill you.

And what loverly shots of Gandalf's tail they are!

LOL!

Hey, you seriously should come over sometime. We could watch the Buffy musical (which is the only episode I'm really familiar with). :) This week is awful for me, but maybe next week.

if you already sent this once, sorry:P

the musical is great...and suprisingly good (as far as t.v. show musicals go)

I think the first pic of Gandalf is pretty good:) very good use of the "rule of thirds" (if you were going for that). Photographing animals (especially finicky ones) is tough...you did pretty good considering your subject:D

Your cat is "going through the motions...."

NOW! "Once more, with feeling..."

:P

I'm tired

He needs "something to meow about..." :)

I dreamt about Gandalf last night! Weird, huh? He was so much fun, but I couldn't figure out how he got to Washington without you! :)

LOL! He probably booked a plane ticket himself. :)
