A New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! Hope you all had a brill Christmas and New Year, I know I did! To top it off, it's nearly 60 degrees in January, how much better can that get? But since I have so many pictures to show you I will just get right into it.

Once Steph and Nick arrived, Ringo and I went right to the gifts. We were looking for something with our names on it.

Ringo checked every corner.

We even enlisted The Dog to help us.

Even with all three of us, there was no success.

With a little team work, Ringo and I almost got a peek at this one.

Fail...

We decided to retire from gift hunting and check out what was cooking in the kitchen.

Making scrambled eggs, we waited patiently...well, we waited...

I wasn't sure what he was looking at, but I decided to join. It smelled luvvly-jubbly!

We wanted to munch on something while we waited. Party mix sounded like a brill idea. Ringo was pushing with all his little might. Poor bloke just couldn't get it.

We kept trying.

Nothing would work!

I contemplated eating some fruit that they left unsupervised. In the end, I figured it was best to save room for the meat.

We were so knackered after all the hard work, so we took a kip in front of the telly.

I found Jodi's pain hilarious, Ringo felt sorry for her. How daft do you have to be to grab a hot pan??

We approached the strangers with hesitation. It appeared that one was holding a weapon of some kind.

We quickly becames friends when I learned they were from the same area as me! Ringo really took a liking to the owl.

I was a little disappointed when I realized I once again was not receiving any gifts. Jodi and Steph told me they have something for me, but they forgot to give it to me because they were too busy watching a whole marathon of Harry Potter. I must say, my new friends have a striking resemblance of certain Harry Potter characters...hmm...interesting. Anyway, they better give me my gifts soon, I am becoming impatient.

Enjoy this beautiful weather, everyone!

Cheerio,

Pinky

Which present is mine??

Today is Christmas Eve! And I am chuffed to the bits to report that there is no snow on the ground! Not a single flake. The Christmas tree is up and beautiful. Although, as I mentioned previously, the girls neglected to bring me along to put up the tree. But I have graciously forgiven them. A couple nights ago, I did a little snooping. I just want to know which present is mine!



Ohhh I just can't wait!! I am sure the girls got me something stupendous! They love me so much. And who can blame them? We have such jolly good times together. I also took some pictures of my favorite ornaments!

This is the newest addition to the Christmas tree. Steph said she fell in love with this sheep. I think it's not too baaaaad.

I thought this candy cane was real. It. was. not.

I love this snowman! Despite the fact that I don't like real snowmen. ugh.


This is a marshmallow on skis. Blimey, it's cute.

And this star. Reminds me of the Star of Bethlehem.

So, I know this was a quick post, but I just have so much to do to get ready for Christmas day!!

Have a holly jolly Christmas!

P

Five More Days!

We finally had our first real snow. Woohoo...I'm filled with joy...But on the bright side, it already melted. I managed to capture a couple pictures of the monstrosity before that happened. Frankly, I didn't care about the pictures, but Ringo seemed to want memories of his first snow.

Looking out the sunroom doors, ick.

I couldn't take much more of it. I had to walk away.

Ringo stayed a while longer, he was utterly fascinated by it.

I let him stay there for a while longer. I think he is barmy, but if he wants to freeze his end off, that's his problem, not mine. Give it a couple weeks and he'll come to realize it's not all that great.

One more thing, if any of you have seen this scarf, please inform me as soon as you can. I seemed to have misplaced it, or someone filched it. Either way, I am very gutted about it.

Hopefully I will get another post in before Christmas, but if not, I hope you all have a Merry Christmas! Check back for some pictures of Christmas day with the family!

Tootle Pip!

Countdown: 12 Days

Twelve more days until Christmas finally arrives. My oh my this year is flying by! I hope you all have started your shopping (don't forget my list!) because before we know it, Christmas will have come and gone, and it will be 2012!
In honor of this Christmasy spirit, we decided to make Ginger S'mores last week! They were easy peasy to make and a blinding success for all...four people who tried them...

This is all you need to make them! Ginger snaps, marshmellow cream, and chocolate! Seriously, could this BE any easier?

When Steph and Jodi weren't looking, I tried helping Ringo into the bag to filch a few cookies. Team work, we have it!
Here I am, helping Jodi put marshmellow cream between two cookies.

We found that the marshmellow cream is...quite creamy...so it is best to do this fast and set them in the fridge for a few minutes.

Ringo testing out the sprinkles to make sure they are up to code. We chose to dip AND drizzle the chocolate. I am putting the sprinkles on the dipped ones. I must say, I did a fantastic job! I mostly had to steer clear of Steph and her crazy chocolate spatula...
After setting in the fridge for a few minutes, Ringo and I were able to enjoy these brill little treats!

It left me quite parched, so I took a sip of Jodi's drink.

Oddly enough, I slept like a baby that night...hm...

Before we knew it, it was time to say goodbye to Jodi. It made me quite sad so I decided to pack up and head to her house for a while. Ringo was getting pretty lonely without me. Besides, I am slightly bitter that Steph didn't think to let me out of her room so I could help her, Tasha, and Jodi put up the Christmas tree. I can't bloody open the door myself, woman! I tried, really I tried.

Well I am off to find my scarf, Jodi forgot to lay it out for me and I just can't wait to put it on! It is rather parky in her room!

Cheerio

Getting Into the Spirit!

I just want to start off by saying how rude it was of Steph and Jodi to go see Breaking Dawn (AGAIN) with Jolene and didn't think to bring me! Can you believe it? I guess I shouldn't be too surprised considering they tend to forget my existence when it comes to Twilight...I am also not impressed with the fact that after wearing the same New Moon button for a year, it was removed from me and never given back! THE NERVE! I am pretty sure Steph has it and forgot to put it back on...which I would appreciate her doing so immediately. I guess I shouldn't complain too much since I did just get to travel to Florida with Steph and we left Jodi behind...

Well it's that time of the year, everyone! I think it is time for me to bust out my awesome scarves. Particularly, this one given to Jodi by none other than Steph. I, of course, filched it the second Jodi took her eyes off it. I think it looks quite dashing on me, just ignore the ghastly white stuff in the background. I always do...

Thankfully that picture was taken from the last winter or two, we have not had the..."pleasure"...of seeing snow collect on the ground yet. I asked Jodi if she thinks we will be lucky enough to have a short winter. She just laughed, patted me on the head, and said "you're too cute". I know I am, but I'm not sure what that had to do with my question. Come to think of it, I believe she was laughing AT me...Blast! How did I not see that sooner?

So if you recall, last year I made a Christmas list for everyone so that there would be no confusion as to what I'd like. Well, imagine to my disbelief, when the day came and I received NOTHING at all. "Isn't two warm homes and the love of two amazing women enough?" said the sisters...NO! As a matter of fact it is not.

So once again I am posting my list, you can find it here: http://pinkpanthersisters.blogspot.com/2010/12/anything-cold-and-wet.html

You may remove Eclipse since I...I mean Jodi...already has it. I would also like to add MY NEW MOON BUTTON onto that list...

I think I need to retract my earlier comment about two warm homes and love not being enough. I fear they might make me live on the streets in the winter to prove a point. So yes, retracting comment.

Stay tuned for more, next week should be a blast with Jodi staying the night at Steph's for a couple days. I can only imagine the crazy and insane things they will be up to next week. For example...putting up a Christmas tree, watching Friends, making cookies...you know, CRAZY STUFF!

Cheerio!

Soak Up the Sun

Hello folks!!! Hope everyone had a delightful Thanksgiving. Mine was splendid!! Because I got to celebrate this most awesome holiday....in....FLORIDA!! Steph, currently my most favorite of the sisters, went down to visit family, and asked if I would come along. I was chuffed to the bits. It was a jolly good time.

All packed and ready to go! Steph said I can't come on the plane. Strict regulations controlling the transport of animals, I guess.

Sleeping arrangements. My hosts were so considerate as to give me a cozy bed.

This is Ashley. She was a charming young lady. I could tell she adored me.

Ahhhh....the best part of Florida. The pool. I get so bloody tired of cold weather and rain.

Just checking it out. Safety first.

Pure bliss.

I was knackered after all that swimming, so I soaked up some sun.
And then chilled on the swings.

Played in the sand box.

Checked out the local vegetation.

And relaxed in the hot tub.

This is what the meal looked like after I was done with it. I offered to go out and make a kill to bring in more food. But they declined. I guess they don't want me scaring the neighbors by eating the local wildlife.

Marilyn and Ashley had me assist in making a tasty pastry delight. They called it an apple dumpling. It was brill. My new favorite food.

I got into the flour.

I've never played cards before. Usually not my cup of tea. But I learned some new games and discovered I enjoyed this. First I learned Hand and Foot. Which naturally, I won.

And then I learned Pinochle. Which I won at as well.

The games ended when Nick pitched me into the kitchen. He doesn't take losing too kindly.
Sorry. Just one more snapshot of me lounging in the pool.

Overall, it was a luvvly-jubbly time. I do look forward to going back someday.

Toodle pip!
