I'm not sure where this plastic rose came from, but Geronimo claimed it from the table, and I decided he could have it. We tied a ribbon to it so we can swing it around as kitty entertainment, but he quite enjoys just laying on his flower. He's very secure in his masculinity.
Mirando loves shoes, and often naps near/on them. It doesn't look comfy, but he seems to sleep well there.
Knitting: On and on with the Candle Flame Shawl. I still love the pattern, but shawls are loooooooong. I've also felt not quite halfway done, since I hadn't attached ball #2 yet (which I did yesterday), but upon measuring, I found it's 50" long (the pattern calls for 70"), so I'm not only farther along than I thought, but I should have enough of this lovely yarn left to make a couple of scarves. I'm a bit impatient to finish the shawl, as my list of "stuff to knit for Butterbean" is *really* long :) I may start a placket-neck pullover from Last Minute Knitted Gifts (yup, String Bean, that's where the booties came from!) out of some Knitpicks Shine in Sky leftover from Picovoli, since that's a gender-neutral enough color.
Reading: Persuasion. I'm having a little trouble getting into it this time. Not sure if it's that I've just finished reading four Jane Austens and I'm ready for something else, or what. I'll give it another try tonight, and then I might pick something else. It's about time to start reading aloud to Butterbean, too.
Writing: I've called an end to the revision madness. I know there are things I'll need to work on, but it's time I started Chapter 7. And the whole thing will undergo revision at the end.
Cooking: Not much here. I've had a bit of a cold, so lots of soup and such lately.

The butterbean will be so fun to knit for! Oh my oh my. And the cats will just love snoofling her.
Snoofling is such an aodrable word! I can just see the cats doing that. :) I sympathize with you about shawl knitting....it really is like a black hole...
What books are you going to read to Butterbean?
Hope you feel better soon.
Hang in here with the shawl.
Teh cats crack me up as usual, such cutie pies and so entertaining.
What is it with cats and claiming shoes? It's the smell, has to be... Also, what fabulous taste, a rose for goodness sake! The cutest little connoisseur duo!
