Hmm; a blank screen. Interesting. Promotes the same sort of feeling I have when I start a new story: fear and panic! How to begin? Seriously, it took all evening to get this far!
Let's see - since this is my first post, I may as well introduce my two Ragdoll cats: Annie and Phoebe. For those who may not be familiar with the breed, I will tell you that they are the largest breed of domestic cat, have long, cream colored hair, darker markings on their faces, ears and tails, big blue eyes and definite personalities. The breed is also exceptionally bright. Notice I said "the breed". Mine are beautiful, loving and very endearing, but I don't attach "exceptionally bright" to their resume. They are, however, exceptionally funny.
Annie is the former runt but has managed to put that behind her. At approximately 14 pounds, I think it's safe to say that she's out of the woods. She has one eye that appears to work a bit independently of the other as it will periodically cross. It also periodically uncrosses when she's racing through the house, skids on the hardwood floor and crashes into a wall. I've seen it stay uncrossed for as long as 15 minutes. Annie enjoys stuffing her head in my purse and pulling out whatever she can fit into her mouth. As of this writing, I'm still missing $20 and a brand new Clinique lipstick. Sort of makes me wonder what she and her sister get up to when I'm at work.
Phoebe is the diva of the duo. Smaller than Annie by a few pounds, she's generally the object of Annie's chase around the house, although I've seen her hold her own when she's been caught. Phoebe loves the camera and will actually pose when she sees someone ready to point and click - even when they point at someone else. Phoebe is not a purse diver, preferring instead to spend her time trying to find a way outside where, presumably, she has a photo shoot scheduled with some high end portrait photographer.
Annie might have hung onto the $20, but I'm convinced that Phoebe's using the lipstick.
Their joint adventures are generally the topic of my Facebook status around the Christmas holidays as they rock and roll their way through my Christmas village - sort of like Godzilla stomping through the streets of Tokyo. I'm sure that once the village goes up again this year, we will have a repeat performance which I will share. You've been warned.
Well...there. The screen isn't blank anymore. It would seem that I've managed to complete my first post. That's probably enough for the first night.
Stay tuned for more...........
