Today I braved the outdoors for 5 hours straight during stormy conditions. Tons of rain and 50 mph winds. Overall a good day, for the storm was as wicked as me.

All warm and cozy now in my PJ’s. The most evil set of PJ’s in my entire PJ collection.

Hello Kitty is truly evil. Yet so cozy…

My fashion item of the day that I would like to share is the latest winter hat San_San made for me:

Photobucket

San_San is making these for Relay For Life. An event supporting the cure for cancer, it takes place once a year. Teams get together and stay up all night walking around a school track participating in all sorts of fun games, events and a candle vigil honoring the dearly departed who lost their lives to cancer. I’ve been participating for a couple years now.

San is making these in all sorts of colors. You may notice on the rim of the hat that there are some ribbon shapes. Each hat color represents the colored ribbon that represents a form of cancer (mouthfull to type eh?). Black is melanoma (skin cancer). Which I used to have, the mole was removed when I was 12.

On a random note, I have some pictures of my new beta testers for my brand new cat launcher.

This is Tommy. We suspect that he’s about 10 years old. He only has 2 teeth left (he only had 5 when we got him). He’s a huge kitty. Our mini lion protects our web server and my source server.

Little Bobbi is our mini bobcat kitty. You can’t see from this angle, but most of her tail is missing. With her lack of tail plus her markings she looks like a mini bobcat. We suspect that she’s a feral cat. But we have been making slow progress getting her acclimated into our home.

Our Puma kitty, Sammy. He’s the fastest to adjust to our home. He really loves people (and food). He’s by far very unusual. He loves the sound of crinkly plastic, he’ll roll all over plastic bags, he takes baths in the toilet if someone forgets to put the seat down, he sleeps on his back from time to time, and last but not least he’s a cat that doesn’t know how to land on his feet. There have been several occasions where he has fallen off beds and the sofa and he lands on his head or back every time. Very funny cat. These are all rescue cats that we adopted from a friend. Can’t wait to test them in my cat launcher…

Awe, cute kitties 🙂 I totally support the efforts at supporting the cure for cancer, however, I honestly think there already cures for several cancers that people just aren’t being told about. I don’t trust the pharmaceutical companies as far as I can through them. My biggest issue with things like walking a lot for a cause is, well, I can’t walk a lot, bad knees etc. So I get mad when people go on and on about how great it is to go do that, cause I CAN’T, and it freakin bothers the heck out of me. 🙁 I… Read more »

There’s more than just walking. There are areas open where you can buy food and energy drinks and all the proceeds are donated to research. There’s the Karaoke section (I adviod that), and all sorts of local music performers show up (usually my friend and I make fun of them), and I even won a couple contests last year. I won the Pajamma contest and the cakewalk :DAnd if you’re a lazy bum you can just crash in a tent after you’re tired from all the activities. I never do because after Sunrise when they prepare the free breakfast goodies… Read more »
