This will be the last weekly iteration of the CEP for a while. I really haven’t been photographing that much lately, and what I have been taking pictures of isn’t really doing much for me. I have a few ideas on the horizon, but for the time being I’m going to scale it back and try to produce something more meaningful.

Don’t worry, you won’t be forgotten :)

“But I don’t want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked.
“Oh, you ca’n't help that,” said the Cat: “we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.”
“How do you know I’m mad?” said Alice.
“You must be,” said the Cat, “or you wouldn’t have come here.”

Welcome to the Caturday Evening Post, Late Night Edition…

Instead of one picture this week, I thought I would try something new and post a suite of 9 pictures. Some of them don’t even have a cat in them!

The big news this week is my plans for this fall: going back to school! That’s right, I’m attempting another degree.. I need to knock out 3 pre-requisites at the junior college this semester and then I can apply to the program at KU. I am excited about it and am looking forward to the challenge. I tend to function better when I have a long term goal to work towards.

Not to mention the fact that it will be something to get me out of the house so I will take pictures of something other than cats in the backyard for a change…

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and try to keep cool!

Good Evening America, and Happy Caturday! Can you believe that it is August already? I sure can’t – it seems just like last week that it was Christmas.

Today’s picture is of the spare bedroom upstairs that Mr. Bigglesworth has optioned as his own. You can see in this image which portion of the bed is his favorite.

My big accomplishment this week was the redesign of my website! I encourage you to take a look at it, since it has a lot more of my previous work on it that the other website did.

Feedback is welcome!

Have a lovely weekend and a productive August!

America, have you wondered about “Christmas in July” ? I’ve always been confused as to why we have it in July and not June. I mean, chronologically speaking, June 21st is the summer solstice and June is the last month of the first half of the year. It would make more sense to me to have Christmas in June rather than Christmas in July. But I don’t run a greeting card or marketing company, so I guess I don’t get to have a voice in those kinds of decisions.

I sure hope Santa brings me a job! Or a unicorn…

Cat… check.
Evening… check.
Post… check.

America, the weather in Eastern Kansas the last day or two has just been a real treat. Highs have been in the mid-70’s and lows are nice and cool in the lower 60’s. I’m pretty sure it won’t last, but I am enjoying it while it is here.

I’ve been making some use of my ample free time by riding my bike a lot, and in the last week slowly building myself into an exercise routine that is a bit more exerting than pushing my mouse across the desk.

Next weekend I am planning on road-tripping to Colorado to visit some friends and, of course, take pictures.

And yes, since I can tell you are curious, that cat is pooping.

Have a nice week!

Mom and Sissy. Sissy is the most evil cat known in existence. You say her name and her tail twitches like a rattlesnake and she growls. Evil.

com-pro-mise (n.): an agreement or a settlement of a dispute that is reached by each side making concessions.

Mr. Bigglesworth is now allowed outside with limited supervision, provided that he stays on his string. I think for his well-being and mine, it is much more desirable for the cat to be at the end of his rope than I.

Anyone else going to see Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince at midnight on Wednesday?? I know I am!

May you always have a sunbeam to lay in!
