Just finished the Yule left-overs...collard green "purses" filled with faux ham, onions & mushrooms, mashed potatoes & chickpea gravy, a wickedly good chocolate mint mocha marzipan trifle. Feeling full of comfort & joy, (and just full, as in sated :) like these foxes and kitty...

Peace from The Wizardess

Darn it.

Kristofferson, my beautiful Norwegian Forest Cat, is NOT pregnant. I was wondering when her weight gain was so slight, but I thought, hey, she's skinny to begin with, and maybe she's only having 2-3 babehs. K is now in heat. Full on, rolling, meowing, squirming, writhing, assume the position heat.

Sigh. I am not informing my family, since the due date of 12/26 was the perfect excuse to avoid any Christmas visiting. I will still have a quiet, kitty-cat filled cozy holiday season. It just won't be quite as kitty-cat filled as I was expecting.

And K is so so ready to try again. I know how she feels! (She's on the left. Daughter Suni on the right.)

There has got to be a boy cat around here somewhere! I'll just walk on top of the 1/2" wide balcony railing until I attract one!!

re-winner

The random number generator has selected Danni of The Whimsical Cottage as the new give-away winner! Yay! (Channeling Kermit the Frog, head back, arms up). Danni, please send me your mailing address and Good Yule!

Tis the season to give stuff away...

That nice give-away from Pagan Soccer Mom below ends tomorrow. Get in on it! Also, long, long ago, there was a Practical Magic Blog Party. And it was fun. And I tried to give Aunt Jet's Lavender Oil away. However, the lovely Leaf Ballard, my winner, left no contact information. So I'm going to select again, sometime tomorrow,  from the commenters on that post: here tis.

I'll also throw in a little Yule surprise, since it's taken me so long to get to this. As I clean up for Yule, and get set for baby kitties to come, I'm finding nice things that seem to want to leave me, so look for more giving in the immediate future!
