Wow! Would you look at the time since my last post! The world has *REALLY* been too much with me since that last post ~ which happened to be on my late and beloved mother's birthday. I can't say that I actually have that much more time now, but I do have have some ideas and a greater urge to share them for some reason.

First, however, I have some housekeeping to handle. You will notice that the name of my blog has been changed to something with more specific focus, and soon I will be changing the look of the page, too, as I can grab the moments to work on it.

Having just acquired kitties five and six through cosmic forces greater than my own preferences and common sense, I have decided to devote my blog to all things kitty. Yes, I know that I have already written plenty about kitties thus far, but now I am crossing over to the furry side completely. :) Yesterday, in spending time with two of my best friends, Melinda and Jo Lynne, I discovered that as they talked about their kids and grandkids, I wanted to talk about my kitties. They listened as good friends do, but deep inside my grateful little heart, I knew they were thinking that I should get a life. :) The fact of my life is, however, that kitties *are* my life these days ~ hence, the change in focus for my blog.

I mentioned to them that if I had it all to do over again, I would like to be a pet psychologist. No vetting for me ~ I can't handle blood, and no way would I ever be able to inject that *final dose* when final doses are needed. But I do love to watch animals interact and to *try* to figure out what is going on in their minds. Consequently, I will use this blog to talk about my critters and any insights I have acquired along the way.

A galvanizing moment occurred about midnight last night as I was changing my bed after one of the new kittens peed on it ~ insights on *that* to come later. As I wound down afterward, I did a lot of Web browsing to find others' insights and decided to add my blog to the mix. An earlier post here highlighted the troubles I had when my second oldest, Chelsie, put me through this same ordeal, so I am not without experience this time around.

So I'll be back as I can to get this new home in shape and to start adding those profound insights. Try to contain your excitement. To all my wonderful friends, I can't promise that I will talk less about my kitties, but maybe by writing about them here, I can branch out into other conversation areas when I'm socializing with friends. :)

FYI: the kittens pictured here are Deuce and Trey, the two stray special-needs kittens that found their ways separately into my heart and home.

Until next time... :)
