Happy Birthday Gus



According to official Shelby County Humane Society papers, today Gus turns one year old.

He celebrated tonight with a can of albacore tuna, a few new toys and bags of treats and a striped sister who helped him with both the food and the toys.

Gus was the cat I had to have after seeing his picture on PetFinder. com. With giant ears and a sweet face, I knew he was the orange tabby for me. Getting Gus led me to the random luck of finding Maddy Lou and my cat family was complete. My life has been 100% better because of them. Happy Birthday sweet Guster T!


Famous person Gus most resembles: Cher (long nose, seductive almond-shaped eyes and slightly glazed facial expression)


Famous person(s) Gus most acts like: Crush -- the sea turtle from "Finding Nemo", Sean Penn as Jeff Spicoli from "Fast Times at Ridgemont High." Can I get a collective, "Duuuuude!"

Gus likes: drinking from the bathroom sink faucets, flirting for cat treats with his extra-long tail a swishin' and Clare's cat Bobby Cox

Gus dislikes: having his claws trimmed, getting shut out of the bedroom during sleeping hours for bad behavior

Interesting Gus facts: He rarely meows or makes any vocal noise but purrs pretty constantly and did the minute the pound people handed him over to me. His slightly crossed eyes, long face, long toes and high hip bones have led me to believe that he has some Siamese blood in him. He has the longest tail I have ever seen on any cat.


Maddy Lou "helps" Gus with his Albacore tuna while he checks out one of his new toys.

If you drop something and break it, does Gus rush up and say, "My dad has a tool kit! I can fix it!" You really pegged his personality with the Spicoli reference.

Happy Birthday Audrey Rose!

Audrey Rose Georges turned one year old today. Her mom, Angela, made this wonderful invitation for the occasion and has done an excellent job of documenting Audrey from a positive pregnancy test to her most recent milestone, taking her first steps, through her blog, My Daily Struggle . This is one well-documented and adored kid and I hope Angela and Papa Tim congratulate themselves on 12 months of excellent hard work. Audrey is a little superstar.

Does anyone remember the video for this song. It was so stupid. The Banarama girls were being followed by a trucker and they threw some banana peels on his windshield -- like that would stop him. Any other '80s fans out there remember any more details? I still loved the group and still love the song. I actually have this single on vinyl -- just like the picture. Tomorrow will be a beast. Today the air conditioning was like the Little Engine that Could except this little engine never made it over the hill. The dog pants all the time like she can never quite catch her breath and outside it is just nasty. Even at midnight tonight it was still 85 degrees and a super sauna outside. I have an elaborate system of fans set up in the bedroom and it helps. Andi even has her own fan and she sleeps jacked up right next to it. To add insult to injury, K called me at work frantic last night, "THERE IS A POSSUM IN THE BASEMENT!" If that exclamation doesn't typify the deep south I d...
