Just What Are We Doing Over Here?

We're bonding, that's what.

After months of big brown-eyed-begging...

So many adorable photos...

And yes, my own longing for a feline friend...

We finally took the plunge.



His name?

Well, he was dubbed "Reno" at the shelter.

But we call him . . . Tim.



(aka "The Enchanter")

We brought him home late Saturday.

He'd been at the shelter for a month-- before that, living on the street as a stray.

The kids and I already love the heck out of him, and vice versa-- though I must say, Tim seems to have taken a particular shine to Ryan.

And since Ryan never had pets growing up-- I find this both ironic and more than a little amusing.

Ryan need only sit down with a book, and Tim will run to him, leap onto his lap and nestle there, purring so loud you can hear him across the room.

Too. Dang. Sweet.

Anyhow, there are other things to share-- this week's endo appointment, new developments on the girlfriend front, some funky blood sugars... to name a few. Hopefully, I can post on some of this by the weekend.

In the meantime, if you're checking in over the next few days, and suddenly can't access my blog-- no worries, I'm just making some (if all goes well) small changes to the site.

And let me tell you, trying to maintain the look and feel of this site while using the new Blogger layout tools has been one big ol' pain in the rear.

Wish me luck!
