I need to get a smaller box to try on my larger one to see what she attempts.

Take the fictional characters quiz and post the first four you know: openpsychometrics.org/tests/charac...

I'm fine with all of these, although I don't remember much about Alexis on Castle.
Alexis Castle from the TV show Castle, a white young woman with long red hair and light eyes. Beverly Katz from Hannibal, a Korean American actress with long black hair and smirking smile. Guinan from Star Trek The Next Generation, a dark skinned Black woman with a large, circular hat. Ariadne from Inception, a young white woman with long wavy dark hair, wearing a red cardigan and a skeptical expression.

Cozy kitty timeline cleanse.
A gray and white striped cat sleeps curled up with a black cat. The gray cat has her head turne upside down with her chin pushed into the black cat's front. The black cat has nestled her nose into the gray cat's neck an her face is entirely hidden. They are cozily settled on a gray fuzzy blanket.

After a very overloaded week (work short staffed, grant application and class assignment due, plus snow for funsies) I am taking a moment to chill and appreciate how large and horizontal my cat’s ears are. Also very soft.
A gray, white, and dark brown striped cat snoozes on a quilt with her chin on her paw. Across the middle of the photo her significant ears form a horizontal line.

Before I send them off for presents, happy to share these two counted cross stitch dragons that helped me get through many long hours and days during the pandemic and these last few years.
A counted cross stitch on black fabric: A bright orange dragon with cobalt blue wings crouches over a multistory rustic house, shadowed over by autumn trees and a crescent moon. A counted cross stitch on black fabric: A bright orange dragon under orange colored leaves and branches with many pairs of wings curls around koi in a stone bottomed pond.

Do I regret signing up to send 1,000 postcards to get out the vote? No. Does my hand kind of hate me for it? A bit. First batch ready to be mailed out tomorrow, the second early next week. #Didthistoday
Two stacks of postcards, some banded together, sit on a wooden desktop with a pen propped against them. One batch is a good inch taller than the pen. They total 900 postcards ready to be mailed. (One batch is less as a friend took 100 off my hands, for which my writing hand thanks them!)

I mean, I admit I wonder a bit when I woke up to this
A small black cat sitting with an intense wide-eyed stare on a ledge looking out between two heavy green velvet curtains.

Happy Black Cat Appreciation Day! Our small Winnie we got around a year and a half ago and she’s a lovely, cuddly sweetie who walks like a buff athlete and has the plushest fur. A most excellent void cat.
A small black cat is draped across her owners lap and has turned over so she is looking at the camera with one gleaming eye with her head upside down and a paw curled in. A small black cat sits on a colorful quilt when reds, whites and light blues. She is sitting curled up with one back foot extended out toward the camera and looking up with a surprised, inquisitive face.

Put up a staff art display today of a very varied assortment of the creations I’ve made over the years. Very satisfying!
Two rounds of translucent paper in a display case with a black bottom show off an assortment of miniature food including a charcuterie board, mushroom pizza, chocolate frosted cake, and tiny deviled eggs. Most are around the size of a quarter. A gilded box top shows off a rich embroidered top showing off a fuzzy dark gold and black bee surrounded by wild flowers. A miniature dark green and wood chaise lounge with decorative gold trim sits behind a miniature wooden butler’s chair with an embroidered seat.

The same gray striped cat is now curled up and asleep on the rainbow striped skirt, paws outstretched.

New rainbow skirt immediately claimed and approved of by Silverbelle, who critiques my clothes mainly by scrunching them up and then sleeping on them.
A poofy rainbow striped skirt with tulle site on a hardwood floor and a gray striped cat sits on top of it, one paw outstretched, and looks up at the camera.

Apparently all I post here is cat photos, so please enjoy this glamor shot of one (Winnie, our black lady) and a very close up Silverbelle begging for a treat.
A small black cat with yellow green eyes looks out at the viewer perched between two moss green velvet curtains on a windowsill perch. She looks like a starlet posing for her closeup. An extreme close up that shows only the left eye, ear, and back end of Silverbelle, a silver gray tabby determined to get a treat.

We got a new cat bed and I fear we will now never see the cats again outside of it.

About to hit the shelves at my library. I really loved this as a portrait of very familiar, truthful teens and also adored the use of the blue. @faitherinhicks.bsky.social
Five copies of Faith Erin Hicks’s Hockey Girl Loves Drama Boy stacked spine out and labeled for the public library’s tween and teen collections on a red book truck.
