Writing and Pictures

Writing is going very well. I'm steadily adding to my big book of writing topics everyday. At this rate I will never run out of things to write about. Yea me! I have never thought I'd run out of topics anyway. There is too many things to address out there in the world. Toss in personal experiences and there's even more. I had two articles offered for today and should be published tomorrow. Stay tuned for the announcement. The surprising part is the effects on bone and muscle article is the one I turned in two days ago! In just over two months I've never had an article accepted that quickly. I'm silently counting my blessings because I know that will never happen again. *chuckles* Another writer on the site also had hers accepted within a couple of days.

Ok, let's move on to the pictures part. I came across some pictures I took a few weeks ago when I first began to play around with the camera. For your enjoyment, I am sharing them with you tonight. *grin* I played a bit pointing my camera through this vine bush in our courtyard. I love purple and every afternoon these flowers bloom on it.


Of course the day would not be complete without a picture or two of my fur babies. They are so cute and irresistible. How could you ever resist that 15 lb ball of furry cuteness? He is a BIG boy that's for sure. We're unsure if he's done growing yet or not. He's mostly Maine Coon and they don't finish growing until between the ages of 3 to 5 years old! He just turned a year old last month and in a little over half an hour he will be 1 year and 1 month old. We'll see if he grows some more or not.

Shanni girl, my boo, the Queen of the household. She's gotten a bit bitchy in her old age. *snorts* She's only 3 years old which is 29 years, 8 months old in human years. She's far from old in either realm but she acts like a nasty old lady. She is 12 lbs. and also mostly Maine Coon. She stopped growing around 2 years old. It's obvious the bit of domestic cat in her dictated her growth, yet she's on target for a female Maine Coon weight. If Connor has another year, I shiver at the thought of how big he may get. He's already HUGE! He's around the weight of a male Maine Coon now. Most sites I've read say a male can get to 18 to 20 lbs fully grown. Knowing that, he's 3 lbs off the low end right now.

I want to end this posting with a word about the Air France Flight 447 plane which crashed. My heart and thoughts go out to every one of the families who are grieving a child, husband, brother, sister, whoever they may have been to someone else, they were loved. Sending much needed strength to the loved one also to get through the days to come.

Hating The Cable Company

Totally hating the local cable company! I swear sometimes they do shit on purpose just to piss me off. Last night everything went down again for the second time this month, I think it's this month. I know that's not so bad, but geez people! Why do you insist on doing stuff like this when I have Very Important things to do on the world wide internets? Let's hope the cable company won't have another "glitch" anytime soon.

Ok, not for my articles. I know you've been happily anticipating more from me. So, to give you your K fix, here are some great articles. Family and CRPS Ways To Cope 7 Myths About CRPS and last but not least, an article I had to do because I have fur babies and I love wacky "awareness" months or days. June 4th is Hug Your Cat Day

I love writing and wanted to do one for fun and to make other people laugh a little. Since I de-frustrated myself and came at writing with a new attitude, I'm having fun writing again. I am also feeling more confident writing the articles and am now going to begin branching out to write other stuff and keep writing the CRPS articles.

Karen's Main Article Page, just in case you want to read all of my stuff while you're there. *innocent look* Me shamelessly promoting myself? Nah...I'd never do that!

I took a few more awesome pics in the past couple of days. Here's my Connor man looking every inch the regal king he is. Sometimes it's hard to grab really good photos and I'm tickled to death I was able to get this one. I'm also very lucky I got it, because right after I took this pic, the batteries in the camera died. If it happened just a few seconds earlier, there is no way I would have gotten this.

There is much stormage going on here everyday. I'm not doing too bad pain wise. Everyday it has stormed. Just a couple of hours ago, it was thundering, lightning and pouring down rain! More is coming tomorrow. *sigh* Oh well. It has driven down the drought index numbers though and we're no longer in the dangerous range. Anywho, Here's a couple of pics I took when the storm rolled in a couple of days ago. Isn't that beautiful? Here's another. I glanced outside because it was getting dark in the house. I saw that and grabbed my camera. When storms roll in, things change quickly. You have to seize the moment before it's gone.

I hope seeing these photos lifts your spirits. Beauty is everywhere and I'm going to try to capture it every chance I get. Some things are worth sharing. The pictures I take are one of them. My articles are another.
