My version of a baby bottle.
Is there any better way to spend a Nashville weekend than hanging with cats (naturally), friends and cocktails?
Of course there’s not.
Much to Teddy’s annoyance, we’re still housing the little fur ball that we rescued a few weeks ago. I’m affectionately calling him New Cat, so as not to fall in love with the sweet boy as I try to find him a more permanent home.
Beyond annoyed with his new shadow.
In great effort to hide from his newest best friend, Ted tried to obstruct himself in a mound of pillows.
So not invisible.
My two favorite people turned one last weekend and at their super hero themed party, I acquired a temporary tattoo…
Super Girl with her sidekick, Captain Cutie Pie.
…that still resides on my forearm one week later (I swear I shower).
Temporary my ass.
Sporting my Incredible Hulk ink, I headed to a baby shower for my gal pal Coco (the Shit Dip recipe creator) who is expecting twins this spring.
You can barely tell she’s baking babies, can you?
Seeing an assortment of friends, mostly all moms or mothers-to-be made the afternoon fly by.
Which one of these is not like the other…
The two non-moms.
To avert anyone from thinking I was carrying anything other than alcohol in my belly under my billowy shirt, we made signs to ease minds.
Twins for her. Skinny Pirates for yours truly.
As the shindig wound down, it was time to clear out the wine bottles and of course I was more than happy to put my expert gulping skills to use.
Stand back and let a classy professional kill it.
While I was downing all of the vino east of the Mississippi, my Iowa nephew was eating all of the watermelon west of the river.
Watermelonmania!
I love spending a Sunday parked in front of the TV, gussied up in my finest pjs, snuggled down with Ted. Which is why my body almost went into shock as I went against my weekly ritual to watch the Grammy Awards at a viewing party last night.
Stop. Grammy time.
Joining a fine trio of fellas at the party, we decided it was time to bring our band out of retirement and grace the over saturated Nashville music scene with our presence again.
You’re welcome Nashville.
In celebration of our revival we had a hard time paying attention to the awards show.
Holla!
But when we turned our attention toward the big screen, it tended to look like this….
Um…was that Madonna?
Which made this morning all the more fun as I groggily got myself up for work.
But as I left my mini manse, a certain pouty pants of a Bear had a friend helping him bid me adieu on his favorite perch.
Peacefully sharing the view together…
Think my resident fur ball is falling for New Cat?

You had a great time I see like always and that belly of your fiend was …….omg ! Seeing your nephew eating the watermelon, how 🙂 cute and funny, hahaha and I love New Cat, can’t you keep him, I think also Mr. Ted is already friends with him ! ?
I’m thinking New Cat may just stay with me and Mr. Ted. Although, I know Ted likes being the only star of my life. 🙂 I can’t hardly stand watching my nephew eat watermelon – he’s so cute!
Yes you are so right, so cute and how he look looks that he understand you !
Mr. Ted appears in full disdain of New Kat. And if you look at that last photo, there is not even a friendly tail extended. I hope Mr Ted does not notice the pixels you are wasting on “that other thing” invading his photos 😉 But New Kat seems nice enough, I also notice he laid on your paperwork, I am sure he knocked off your desk (very kat like skills)
You’ve got a keen cat eye! Not only is Ted in full disdain (as I still look for a new home for New Cat), our newest addition did manage to sit right on my paperwork that he ever so gracefully knocked off the table…!
Teddy does not look amused there. He is plotting that cats demise.
Ted is so pissed. Yet, he’s doing such a fabulous job of ignoring New Cat….
Love the two kitties sitting together although I can sure imagine the Tedster not being initially thrilled.
Those belly contents signs were hysterical!
The two kitties are sweet sitting together…but not sure how the overall adjustment will/would be if I keep both under the same roof. How does Jack handle your other cat? Any pointers?!
Oh and in regard to the signs, I had to be sure no one thought I was carrying anything other than Skinny Pirates around!
Wow, New Cat is real cute, but I can totally see Teddy not being amused about the addition….
New Cat is adorable. And so sweet. You and Nina probably need a cute little tuxedo cat running around Minnesota, don’t you?
Hey, the Midwest might be all the same to you, but we’re in Michigan….lol. And, nah, we don’t need feline company…:)
Damn it! I got confused with what came after the M. Blonde moment! I knew it was Michigan…but this cat would look cute as a Spartan or Wolverine. Just sayin’!
Argh, don’t you mention the God forsaken Spartans!!! 😀 I like cute cats, I just don’t want one in my house…I had a gorgeous cat for a couple of years, and loved her dearly, but as Nina puts it: If something forces us to either stay home or make proper arrangements before traveling it better be kids, not animals…
Dear Mr. Wolverine,
I shall never, ever utter the word Spartan around you again. Ever. I feel the same way about them as you do.
Love,
Your fellow Big Ten Buddy
😀 I was walking through A2 one day, knowing it was a game day, but wasn’t aware of who was coming to town. When I returned home, I complained to Nina how ugly all the away fans were….only to be informed they were Spartans…boy, they were ugly.
Haha! Spartans fans are fugly for sure!
Ha, poor Ted. Also! There is an epidemic of twins going on around you, watch out.
Oh Jesus Aussa. I never even thought about a twin epidemic…THANK YOU FOR THE HEAD’S UP! I am knocking on every piece of wood around me.
are those really your old band mates? Is it really happening?! I am squealing!
Yes! They are old band mates. I can hear your squeals from here!
Tedstar not loving your new house guest?
Tedstar is beginning to warm up to the new house guest. Slowly. And I think he is secretly enjoying showing a younger cat ‘the ropes’ but of course he would never want me to know this. (I caught him giving New Cat a quick bath this morning).
