as we were leaving for errands yesterday, mom noticed ... a yard sale.
mostly a table at the yard sale.

as maybe two of you know, we do not OWN a table, and have not since mom moved to seattle.

so mom wanted to see how much it was and also if it was sturdy (eventually we bought nothing because we didn't have any cash anyway.)

so while we were looking around, we saw a sign.

and this sign said FREE KITTENS.

and i have been wanting a kitten for awhile now to take to work with me and train and stuff.

so i freaked out because FREE KITTENS.

anyway we picked one out (there were 2) and went on our errands before taking him home.

He is black, and was exactly 13 weeks old on Saturday- as an added bonus he was already litter trained, he just needed to learn where it is, and is already used to yappy dogs! tessa belle is already sort of used to him but she is crazy so she relapses sometimes when there is sudden movement. they are actually getting along pretty swimmingly.

Anyway so my brother named him (we are fairly certain that it is a him- the people who gave birth to him said so and i checked and i am pretty sure that there are tiny kitten balls there =P)
his name is Turkleton (as in Chris Turk of scrubs) but he whines so much that we are considering renaming him JD (which will be a definite name change if we find out magically that he is a girl, i think x3)

anyway yes so new kitten. he is a titty kitty, which makes sense because titties are soft as shit... and he spent part of last night sleeping in the crook of my hip which was super adorable.

anyway so yeah.
other than that, i now own a wacom intuos2. in addition to my intuos1- i am waiting for some nibs to arrive in the mail so that i can use it (and of course since i bought it to replace my intuos1, i found the pen the day before the box arrived with the new tablet)

so.. the things that went off track are not back on it... and after that it'd back to the river =D
