Distractions


This is going to be a quick post. I wanted to put it up while I was most concerned with it - at work but that wouldn't be right, now would it?
But it's not right to have the picture on my computer desk top set to be such a distraction, either.
Bob is such a distraction when I'm at work. I can't stop looking! She is so darn cute! I know I should change my desktop but how can I? I sit there at my desk and take a peek. I know I shouldn't look because I get stuck staring at her.
For those of you who have been to my house you think I'm lying about having two cats because you only ever see Gwen, the fat white cat. Bob takes off at the first sound of footsteps coming up the stairs from the sidewalk. Poor kitty, she's deathly afraid of everyone but me and Ryan. It's only been in the last year that she lets us hold her - and she does so grudgingly. Last night I picked Bob up off our bed and brought her with me into the living room and sat down on the floor where Ryan and I were playing Blokus. I was expecting Bob to jump out of my lap the second I sat down but she stayed for several minutes! It was a breakthrough! It may not sound like much but we've had Gwen and Bob (they are sisters) a month after we got married - it's taken 4 1/2 years and Bob finally sat on my lap after I picked her up and put her there. (I think she may have walked across my lap a few times; it was not out of affection, I was just in her path).

You are right, this is a GREAT picture of Bob! I will rate it a 10! It looks that the picture is taken at your other house, cuz I don't remember you having a rail in your new house!

What is Blokus?

Guess what?!?!!? WE are having an ultrasound on wednesday at 10 am. Hopefully the baby will be happy spread eagle and we'll have a clear view if it is a Caleb or an Alexandra!

For now I cannot talk. Lost my voice four days ago. Matt is happy.... Just kidding!

Have a GREAT Easter!
Crina ( baby, daddy and Noelle)

I just read your post...I've just been out of it lately. But I've been wishing I had a dog so bad lately. Even a "Bob" would do, even if Bob's a cat. I would need a lap pet to keep me warm :) The weather is getting better though.
