Hello Everyone!

It is so bright, sunny, and Springish today :)  I just love this weather.  Kitty Cosmo is walking on the windowsill and checking out the outside world.  She’s already chased several birds and a fly today, as well as taking a cozy nap in the sunshine.

I’ve just been working on more content for the website.  There’s so much I’m working on, and I’m really excited about it.  I made 3 new meditation tracks the other week, and I’m listening to all of them to see if it’s really obvious that I was stuffed up with a head cold when I recorded them.  (”dis is da thun medidaton”).  I’m already adding the music to one of the tracks and going to be working on the others soon.  Those should be up and running very shortly.

I’m also making videos!  Well, I’m thinking about making videos :)  I have all the equipment in our apartment now, including a green screen, which I’m debating on using.  I need to just record a little bit and see how easy it is to work with.  I have a mind full of ideas for videos, so stay tuned for those as well.

In other news, I’m a new blogger for the Live Green in Plano website!  Yea!  That means I get to write even more about eco-friendly living.  Technically, I haven’t received the code yet to begin making entries, but they said they would e-mail it to me.  Yea! Yea! Yea!  I wonder if North Texas wants to know about my DivaCup….hmmmm….?

In other other news, I started my second sewing project today!  The tissues came out fabulously, and now I’m working on my first dress.  I think I’m going to start a crafty section of this website.  Once I have some completed, at least :)  Right now my kitchen table and dining area is covered in fabric, patterns, sewing books, and a kitty that just sneezed (aw – so cute).

Speaking of kitty, I’ve been debating whether to teach Cosmo to go to the bathroom on the toilet or not.  Come on, haven’t you heard of this?  Kitty potty training?  Well, the technique I’ve read about is to gradually move her litter box higher up to the level of the toilet seat, then put a bowl with litter in the middle of the toilet rim, then gradually remove it.  It’s a little more involved than that, but it takes weeks.  Um..I don’t know if I’ve revealed this or not, but patience is not one of my virtues.  Just ask Mark.  So my plan is to meditate and describe to kitty what I would like her to do telepathically and see if she just starts doing it.  The downside to this is that the toilet seat has to be left up, which I do not like.  The upside is no cleaning the kitty litter out, less packaging, and better for the environment (because most kitty litter is actually not eco-friendly).  But more on that in a different post.

I think I may need to close the window, because kitty just charged the screen to bat at a fly (the door is open, so one came in).  We live on the second floor.  If the screen gives way…Geronimo kitty!

Love,

Melanie

Courageous Kitty Cosmo

kittytreckDec09Kitty Cosmo has always been an inside cat and has been terrified of the outdoors.  We have been taking her with us when we visit my mom so she can play with my mom’s cat, who loves going outside.  When it’s nice outside, we all sit in the beautiful backyard and chit chat.  We have been asking Cosmo to join us all outside for several months, but she has been too scared.

About a month ago, she started putting her front paws outside for a minute before rushing back inside.  Last weekend when we were are my mom’s, we were astonished to see Cosmo exploring Read the rest of this entry »

cosmo balconyCosmo is our kitty cat.  She and I have had quite the journey together.  What began as a tumultuous relationship became a blessing in disguise as I learned to develop a new psychic ability.

Cosmo was Mark’s cat originally, and when I first met her, she bit me.  Things got worse when Mark and I moved in together.  She would chase me down the hall, bite me, swat at my feet, etc.  Animals love me, so I was shocked and hurt by her treatment.

After many months of being miserable together (the cat and I), doing everything we could think of to make things better, we decided to give her away.  Mark made up a flyer and e-mailed it to friends with a description of her and a photo.  Several weeks passed without any interest in our biting cat.  Hmm…I wonder why?
