I'm back! Did you miss me (did you even notice I was gone)?

Heya. On Thursday, we finally got around to rearranging the office furniture, and moving the computer tower from the rickety plastic thing to the solid piece of craftsman-style table that my (Mad) Great Uncle Don made, almost 100 years ago.

The Good: It's sturdy, beautiful, has enough room for the tower and my computer paper, and was handmade by one of my ancestors.

The Bad: In the moving process, the phone cord got jiggled loose from the wall jack, and I didn't realize it until Audrey left (and I couldn't reach it). So I have been without the Internets since Wednessday night...

*clings*

Anyway, I've been doing naarmamo all along, and I just uploaded Thursday's, Friday's, Saturday's and Yesterday's arts, and posted them to their respective posts. I haven't done today's, yet, but I may do something simple and quick and silly, because yesterday's pic just about wiped me out (an observation sketch of from the photo of the woman in the big feathered hat on spiralsheep's journal, here). I realize now that the head is about 25% too small, but I'm still very proud of it.

Throughout the weekend, I had stuff I wanted to journal about, but I can only vaguely remember what, now...

Oh well, if it's really important, it will bubble to the surface again.

I've been wanting to share pictures of my kitties for years...

But I don't have a camera. And even if I did, my kitties are so black, they'd just show up as vague, shadowy, shapes. So this last week, I made it a special point to draw my impressions of them that would show off their personalities:

Here's Trixie: She doesn't meow much, but she's a great purrer, and she often raises one paw to pull you in, just like a maneke neko kitty:


She's the one who loves to ride on the back of my chair, and she often jumps up there just to peek over my shoulder and see what I'm up to.

And here's her sister, Amanda: She's somewhat shy with her purrs, but she loves to talk (She has also claimed, as her own, the plush Bagpuss that gordon_r_d sent me a while back, doing kneady paws on it almost every night before she curls up in bed with me):
