7 Random Factoids about me that you don't know

I've been tagged by Married Vegan Yogini, Kelly's Pink Apron and I am Not A Rabbit. This meme sounds really cool because it delves into the land of secrets. Well maybe not that deep, but it's revealing.

1. I have only lived in states that border Canada: New York, Vermont, Maine, and Washington.


2. I watch an unhealthy amount of TV which I watch as background noise. I can't even remember all the shows that I watch or when their seasons start/end. I especially love scifi. Right now my favorite shows that are in season are (I had to have help on this): Legend of the Seeker, Life and Times of Tim, Testees, Ugly Betty, Gavin and Stacy, Desperate Housewives, Dexter, Supernatural, Gossip Girl, Terminator, Prison Break, Crusoe (sort of sucks, but I don't have a high bar), Starter Wife, House, Charlie Jade (really hard to understand in the beginning), Skins, New Adventures of Old Christine, and Samantha Who. I watch way more random shit than that, but I will stop now before you are too disgusted w/ me. I also watch but really really hate Sons of Anarchy because they are sociopaths and I keep watching to find out if bad things will finally happen to the gang in the show.

3. Once in a while, I will pull open up the bed part of the sofa bed and have a sleepover with the cats. It's sort of like camping out. The bed will stay open for a week or two so they can have extra lounge time. I have thought about camping out in the cat cage outside, but I don't know if I trust them w/ my tent.

4. I like trying new crafty things, but I don't always finish them. I tend to get bored easily. I'm most prolific at drawing on pink T-Shirts, but I have also tried knitting, crocheting, beading, stained glass, fine metal working, embroidery and other things I can't remember.

5. I have a totally overgrown yard with lots of blackberries. I'm trying to take control, but it's going to take a long time. Good thing I don't mind the work. Combine blackberries and my random clutziness and that means lots of scratches. Once I fell backwards into a pile of cut up blackberry vines. All on the road to have a garden. woohoo!

6. I fantisize about living in a yurt. When I'm feeling depressed, I will make floor plans. It always gets me in a better mood. The brown macaroni shapes are turds in litterboxes. Hey, I need a litterbox room with lots of fans.


7. I don't like the way greyhound farts smell. But I love cats! Ok. that was a lame one, but I have to weasel a cat pic in somehow. Chippy is thinking about jumping on Tubs, but he didn't.

Is anybody sick of pumpkin yet? Didn't think so!

I saw the Double Layer Pumpkin Cheesecake on SusanV's blog and had to try it. It was really easy to make - all food processor action, my kind of recipe. And the results were delicious, light and fluffy, just like cheesecake - even with the yummy thin lemon layer on the bottom. I couldn't find a graham crust in my co-op, so I used a regular white frozen crust. You gotta try it.

Here is a pic of Andy trying to read a book in the overgrown cat cage. As you can see, the cats (Faline in this case) have to crawl all over us no matter where we are :). In this pic, it's still summer and really hot.

I got 4 of them to go outside yesterday in the cat cage (on their own) and it's really cold outside. They are so clingy!
