What's the first sign of crazy cat lady syndrome? When you're standing in line at Big Lots behind a crazy cat lady with a cart full of kitty supplies.... and you decide you just have to buy one of the milk-crate-sized kitty cubby hideways for your own little beasties....

Seriously. It's a fabric-covered, upholstery-grade foam cube with a hole in the front and a dangly kitty toy hanging from the top inside. In other words, a soft cozy box for kitties. Thus far, Mayhem has crawled in once to check it out, and Mischief has dragged it across the room by the dangly toy. Twice.

Oh well. At least it didn't cost much.

Ah, there's nothing quite like the smell of E-6000* in the morning!

It's been a productive weekend thus far.  On the arty side, I finished a few new watercolor ACEOs (miniature paintings, 2.5 inches x 3.5 inches) last night while watching a couple of old movies I had DVR'd. This morning I made several new glass pins to wear, to donate to the NFPW Education Fund auction next week, and to sell at Archon next month. (That's where the E-6000 comes in.) Take a look at the work in progress at my art blog. I still need to get my Good Aunt alter-ego in gear and finish the cards and gifts I need to ship for family birthdays next week.

On my marathon shopping excursion, I found a new sweater to wear at the NFPW conference next week but not much else -- it's time to hit the closet and see what I have for fall that still fits. (Regarding current fashion: what is it with cropped sleeves? Honestly, my arms are abnormally long and gangly enough as it is, without my sleeves ending abruptly about 4 inches above my wrist. Geez.)

Other than that, I've been rather mundane. I went to yoga. I bought groceries. Did a little light housekeeping. Did a little bit of laundry. Started packing for my trip next week. That's about all.
