Happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate it!

Willow is holding her Hanukkah present from from husband, which is ironic because it's red and green. I would prefer my "Happy Hanukkah" photo have her holding one of her blue toys, but such is life!

I got a lot done durring my lunch break yesterday, I did 3 errands! Then last night we cleaned the bedroom and bathroom. Tala our cat, if I havn't ever told you, pee'd on my passport once, in a bag, in my bathroom. So this week at somepoint she pee'd again in our bathroom. There was a white plastic gargbage bag under the sink with some paper in it. She felt this was a good place to pee. So last night we cleaned up any rogue boxes or dog hair that would at all make her feel it would be a good grungy spot to pee in. No plastic bags allowed! That's kind of hard given the time of year it is. No boxes, no opened bags or purses that she could fit into. BAD LITTLE CAT! So last night I went out and got her a brand spankin' new litter box and brand new fancy litter like I used to buy her, thinking maybe that cheap litter I have used the last 3 months pissed her off and I just didn't realize it.

I also got her a cute little cat bed with catnip and set it on the couch and she promptly went and loved on it. She even ignored the small piece of chicken we offered her, all so that she could show that bed how much she cared for it. Happy Hannukah Tala!!! (pronounced "Tah-Lah" not "Tay-La").

Here is a crap-tastic photo from my phone of Sahara. I'm on the hip increases, about 16 rows in. 3 more 8 row repeats to go. It looks shorter then it is. I'm probably 6 inches from being done.
