Christmas has come early at the Johnson home!

First it was Jeremy's turn.

Jeremy's new guitar. He got it a while ago, but it is considered his Christmas present.

Next came me. I have always wanted a kitchen aid mixer. My wonderful husband found this beauty in the Kohl's ad on Black Friday. He happily marched his way down there, grabbed the last one off the display, and stood in line for 1-1/2 hours. They only had white, but who cares? Am I lucky or what?!

Lastly, Mya and Otis got a Kitty tower of power! Can you see them sleeping on it? The have been playing on it all day.

Anonymous Comments

I changed my comments settings today so that anyone can post a comment. The reason for this change is so that people who don't have a blog, and those who haven't registered (my Mother for example) can leave comments. I tell people about my blog all the time, but I usually only get one to two comments per post. I LOVE comments, who doesn't? So for those of you out there who have refrained from commenting because you couldn't before, now is you chance! (hint, hint, Anne!) Just remember to leave your name when using the anonymous comment, cause I do like to know who you are. : )

And for those of you who have stumbled across my blog, and used to know me when I was younger, or knew of me, feel free to comment too! Chances are, if you have read my blog, I have read yours (but I am too shy to comment to you!)

But please, no mean or rude comments, cause I will delete them.

So long tC

You have been an awesome car. I loved everything about you! You were fast, reasonably priced, had an awesome stereo, great gas mileage, lots of cargo room, etc. We even fit a 52" flat screen in you! I could go on and on about the awesomeness of the tC.

There was however, one thing I hated about you. You only had 2 doors. 2 door cars are fine for a single person. Or for a person who doesn't plan on having children. I however want children so it was out with the old, in with the new. So what is the new you ask? Let's just say it is something with 4 doors and goes "zoom zoom". Want to know more? You will have to come see me to find out!

He's back!!!

Jeremy went to Vegas last week for SEMA, like he does every year. He left on Sunday, the day after we picked out Otis and Mya. We were all excited to see him back, as it meant another person for the kittens to play with, and I always miss him when he is gone. Even if it is only for a day or two.

Otis' new favorite napping place

Jeremy and his parrot kitty. Mya likes to sit on our shoulders.

Pneumonia anyone?

That's right, Mya has Pneumonia! Who would have thought, a kitten could get pneumonia? That is just my luck! When we brought her home on Saturday, she was sneezing, but the volunteer at the SPCA said it was just a little cold, nothing to worry about. She should get over it in a week or so. On Sunday Mya and Otis both sounded terrible. I took them to the Vet on Monday and got medicine for both of them. They are feeling better already. Giving them their medicine isn't much fun!

Aren't they so cute?

Jeremy and I decided to use the names that were picked for them at the shelter. The gray one is Mya, and Otis is orange.

Mya is my little helper on the computer. It is hard to keep her off the laptop. She thinks my fingers are play toys when I type.

Happy Birthday to Me!

It was my birthday on Thursday. Like my presents?

They are still a little shy. I am debating on what to name them. The orange kitty is a boy, and the gray one is a girl. Any suggestions?
