Ups, Downs and Endless blanket Knitting

Minnie and Maxie

Tank in his best pose. 

Yesterday was just chock full of life lessons. 

The ying and the yang, the good and the bad.

Oh, but first, lest you think I'm going around with a chainsaw in the woods for snicks, I need to set the record straight.

We only take down dead trees or hazard trees. 

I'm not starting my own wooden needle factory or anything cuckoo like that....

There are other cuckoo things I spend my time doing. 

ahem

Yesterday a very handsome Fezzik was dragged from his early morning slumber,

taken in a car ride for 1 and a half hours that had to seem an eternity to him

and asked to be both stunningly beautiful and 

happy about it on a photo shoot. 

I don't think Hollywood is in the cards. 

Suffice to say I was thrilled when he was chosen by a major pet food company to be photographed. 

I can't tell you anything more specific. We may or may not see his face on a product.  We have to just wait and see.

He is afterall, a cat. 

A cat who, despite his amazingly good looks, is still a cat and would love to have been in his own home wrestling his cat 

pals.   

He seems no worse for the wear this morning.

Cats will be cats.  They don't perform on cue.

I was a nervous stage mom.  I have to say everyone on the set was kind and sweet to him. 

Given the choice, Fezzik would prefer to be catching a gross little mouse in his own house.   

Suffice to say significant progress was made on the never ending sock blanket.  There was more than enough DOWN time on the set.  I'd guess I put at least 3 inches on the blanket. 

It is clear that blanket is impossibly slow to show progress.

Fireman got us home within four minutes of the first pitch at Wrigley Field because...

the Cubs

because...

the World Series

So as wonderful as it is to be in the World Series my stomach hurt last night

I'm greedy I want the whole enchilda!
