Life, Love, and Critters – of course!
The contest is now open! If you’ve carved your pumpkin, go on and get a Wicked picture of it and enter the contest!
Save this image and link to either the contest entry page, or the carving page!
The image is 145 pixels wide, a good width for blog sidebars. 😉
Message on my answering machine:
“Hi Leanne, it’s (me). I just wondered if you’ve fallen over dead yet from all the painting? Well, I guess if you’re dead, you’re not going to be calling me back, so you can disregard this message. Call me if you’re still alive!”
I love my friends! 😆
Here’s s’more eye candy for today, this guy looks like Zazu doesn’t he? What a cool bird. His technical name is Jackson’s Hornbill, but I’ll call him Zazu.
I can’t really “hear” anything, but by all means, if you hear him talking, caption him!
Gorgeous Lemur, huh? I’ve been trying to photograph this guy through big black bars for months. Finally. (This is from my last batch of zoo pics, I really don’t go every weekend!)
Sorry guys, it’s been insane over here the last few days! I’ll probably be painting (Bindi) on cam later today – I’ll update with the link if I get the thing working. If not, I’ll just show you another progress shot late tonight or tomorrow (it’s going to be a late night).
Have a good Monday!
These are our first two pumpkins, isn’t that one just Wicked? And Whose Hat Is That? Needless to say, our children dictated our afternoon, so all productive plans that didn’t involve pumpkin shopping and carving were thrown out the window. And tomorrow, tomorrow is insane. Bindi’s portrait is going to meowve into next week. (haha, get it? meowve? I crack me up.)
I’m working on that Pumpkin Carving Contest too. You know, inbetween stuff. :pilot:

My other Thirteens 1. I have been a very bad blogger over the last week, and have missed several updates about several new friends. One thousand lashes with a wet noodle for me. 2. I trimmed and painted my toenails the other night, and in the process of trimming apparently I thought it would be fun to see if nail clippers worked on big chunks of skin! Yes, they do. They absolutely work on big chunks of skin. And afterwards? It hurts. So don’t do that. 3. I’m all about the pool, not only have I continued my laps in the mornings, but now I’m taking a gaggle of girls back for an hour in the evenings. I am now a sponge for chlorine, and purchased many special items to combat the signs of drying out and masking my new scent, Eau de Pool. 4. Now that the weather is getting cooler I’ve been sleeping longer, but worse. How is that? I toss and turn, have wierd dreams, wake up late and feel tired all day. Please explain this fall weather phenomenon. 5. I’ve worn a cross & chain for years. And years. The other day, my chain broke while I was swimming. My cross, thankfully, was easily found. Feels wierd to not be wearing it. 6. I’m horribly allergic to our guinea pig. 7. I took a picture of a bug that looks like a leaf, but haven’t even opened the images yet to show you. This is how my week has been going. 8. Tomorrow is “special person” day at school. I have two kids. One of them goes in the morning, and the special people should attend during that time. The other one has designated the afternoon as special person time, and you’re not allowed to bring children. Additionally, I have a pre-surgical consult tomorrow afternoon. So. That’s how my week is going to end, too. 9. I’ve been asked by my neighbors to (help) paint a mural on a wall in their church. They would like to have it done by Sunday Service. This Sunday. 10. I’m thinking about hiring a double. Anyone interested? 11. Slowly but surely, as long as I am a good girl and eat sensible things, I am losing the pounds I’ve put back on that I spent a year losing. I hate being sensible, and I love carbs. It’s a horrible combination for success. 12. I am playing with the idea of having a Pumpkin Carving Contest here on my blog over the next couple of weeks. Would that be fun? Would you submit your carving? 13. I bought a new toothbrush. Woohoo! I know. Pretty exciting stuff here. You’re better off just looking at the pretty pictures.

Did you know I’m a little Irish? Well by the end of this entry, you’ll have proof. You’d think that I would have a little leprechaun following me around day after day, you know, because we all do. But honestly that’s not the case at all. It’s a demon, and it pokes us every so often with a long pointy stick.
I say “us” as if I’m educated on the topic. Really I’m not, I just don’t want to be so alone in my misfortunes, so if you’re Irish and you don’t have a little jerk with a pointy stick by your side? Just ignore my blatherings and pretend I’m sane.
