Cat Baths Earthquakes, and Scolding!

It took me a second to wake up, but that sound could only mean one thing, the cat fell in the bathtub! These days we don't throw out out bath water because all this area is anticipating the big Tokai... Sign in to see full entry.

You know that

sinking feeling you get on a Sunday evening? This is the veiw from the entrance of our apartment, it seemed fitting for my mood, the hazey mountains in the distance and looong shadows. What with E not spending any time with her family and a recent death in the family and this sinking feeling were... Sign in to see full entry.

Soccer and Stuff (continued)

Okay one more, the leaves in the foreground were orange and pretty but it doesn't come out in the picture, probably because it's a piddly cell phone camera, thus, I want a new one so I can take beautiful pictures for ya'll!
