well the new blogger is exciting. last night princess was on a rampage. she was possessed. every night she brings her jingly ball up on the bed, but last night she sat over it meowed for what must have been hours. sheesh. i got pictures of her with the ball in her mouth. so cute. in non kitty news i have to drive to NH to have my car inspected. i have to figure out what is the closest point in NH where one can get their car inspected. sarah, we are so excited that you're coming. when are you coming, did you get a ticket? should i get you a ticket? let me know. we've got big plans. it is too bad that we are too far for your house warming party kirsten, but i hope the naked people are able to enjoy that yummy cake. my room is covered in drying clothes. it's very like school. yesterday i bought myself a portable tire inflator...but not a drying rack. i'm very excited about my tire inflator. it plugs into the cigarette lighter. kirsten...congrats on the claires job. i hope it works out. i wish i were a kitty. they look like they are having so much fun. wouldn't it be fun to be furry and soft. and have cute paws. i don't have to work till three, i don't know what to do with myself. so much free time.

precious princess and i are sitting in the heat of maine enjoying a nice cool breeze. I've decided that on my days off when I am left to my own devices i shall lay on my bed and read. and put aside silly conventionalities like bathing and getting one's oil changed. these things can be done, another day. kitty actually can bathe and lay on the bed at the same time which is a luxury i must say I am envious of. as annie has told me, deer isle is on a huge granite ledge, and so every sound echoes. but still, i keep hearing voices and thinking there's someone in the house when there is no one there. kitty looks hot today, but i am resisting the impusle to shave her. neither kitty nor annie's mom would approve i think. there isn't very much going on today. I spent the day reading harry potter to no one's great surprise. I also forgot to drink water today and have a terrible dehydration headache. and so i sit and sip and feel like an idiot. who forgets to drink water. it's like those skinny bitches who forget to eat. well, worse i suppose because one needs water more than food. i am resisting the urge to get iced tea. bad amy. how is everyone doing? i must report that the accident annie had left very littly damage to her buick, which makes me think how very totalled my car would be in the same crash. thank god for buicks.

our kitty fetches. how adorable is that. she jumped up on the bed today with the jingly ball in her mouth. so cute. and also, this is the only place on earth it's not raining...and we're gonna have a picnic.

so i was telling you all about kitty's new digs when she started walking on the puter and posted her own incomplete blog. she's a smarty pants. a smarty furry pants. she keeps walking around me and meowing. anyway, we had a very busy day yesterday. annie harris rowed me out in the ocean yesterday and started to teach me how to row. i rowed in like three feet of water, and i turned the boat around myself. i'm so proud of myself. later we'll row all the way to the island and have a picnic...but i need some practice on the high seas...insert annie's hysterical laughter here. we went shopping for ourselves after we shopped for kitty and we spent a lot more time than we meant to. we were supposed to say goodbye to lindsay at like 9 which was when we were leaving bangor. so we were a little late, and the fog on the blueberry fields was awful. we couldn't see more than five feet in front of us. I'm watching a movie about hair pieces in northern ireland. it's pretty funny so far. kitty likes it. i'm going to use kitty treats to tempt princess into scratching on her new house. we spent so long choosing it we need some kind of validation. we think sarah should come for a week when she visits. we have grand plans. miss sarah. we think you should come the wednesday before the 18th, and maybe stay till the wednesday after. or something. like that. would be fun. let us know.

Yesterday annie and i spent over an hour choosing a scratching post for princess. actually what we chose is a kitty beach house with ocean view. so far princess has shown no interest. let's hope she

so, annie's mom and brother came over to see kitty last night, and it took hours to find her. and when annie did find her behind the sofa we looked behind five thousand times, she was friendly and sweet. not at all the evil monster they said she was at the humane society. not so very humane at all. kitty was lost again this am but once again annie found her, this time upstairs hiding. she came and had breakfast with us, and now she is scoping out my bed. the humane society said she never purred, but we've had a few purrs out of her. she's our baby now. and she is indeed a precious princess, her name is miss precious princess. in other news, i have hysterical pictures of annie kissing and hugging a tree for you sarah. very funny. I think kitty and i are going to take a nap together. i'll let you know if i survive.

saw the kitty, very pretty. she was not pleased to see me though. i'm sure we'll get on famously. i have tomorrow off. i'm so excited. ofcourse annie has to work all day, but i get to go to the opera house and see the hours and watch annie project...or whatever. so, i decided today that i don't like driving. although i got the lord of the rings on cd, which is quite fun. it makes my journey seem not so long or terrifying. not that it's really terrifying. it's beautiful. the mountains were all misty today and it was very lovely. everyone should come visit. so anyway, i have nothing of any real interest to say. i want kitty to be my friend. she's furry and she looks soft. if we were friends i could pet her and we could frolic. but she's rumored to be sort of a bitchy cat, which is why annie's mom had to adopt her, but i want to be her friend anyway. her name is princess, which is exactly what she is. she can sleep with sarah when sarah comes to visit. i'm sure you'll get along famously.

annie's mom adopted the worls meanest cat, and it's living in our house. it just got here today...but err i haven't met her yet. well, more to it, i can't find her. she is supposedly huge, and very beautiful. i'm off to look again. wish me luck.

so...long time no blog. i just finished scrubbing our toilet and i thought...blog! so we went to acadia again today. we bought a year pass so we can visit lots. we went to sand beach which is very beautiful and also to thunder hole but not at high tide so we weren't swept out to sea. maybe when sarah visits we can go again and get lucky. we were told we were living in squalor...err so i've been cleaning. actually i've only done the bathroom, but in my opinion that is usually the most important thing to clean. so i'm sure you all just drool over hearing what i cleaned today, so i'll tell you about our day. we visited the puppy this morning on our way to acadia and he is soooo big. it's not right. then when we were going through ellsworth i had a mean face tournament with a child in a pickup. and then...we went to the park and drove around and then we came home and visited puppy again and now annie is showing the pianist which i wanted to see but not at a theatre because it's scary. hillcrest, which is on the crest of a hill, is right by the road and i have my shades up and i keep seeing these trucks and suv's racing over the hill in the middle of the road and i thoroughly expect to see an accident any time. i have my 911 dialing fingers at the ready. sarah, you must come visit. annie asks every day when you're coming. i miss you too, by the way. i hope you're enjoying your summer. we have a package for you aswell, we'll probably post it tomorrow. you'll just LOVE it. so how is everyone? kirsten, where are you working, and how is amy m? also kirsten can you get us emily's email address? i miss her too.

it is funny that your name is in my blog most. hmmm. hey, i got promoted yesterday. this is good because a) i'll get a whole dollar more per hour and b) because i have flexibility in at least part of my schedule. oh and c) because it might lead to an all year position. we'll see. annie and i went to Acadia yesterday and drove up the highest point on the eastern coast. it was very beautiful indeed. and sunday we're going to go back and do the paying parts of the park and maybe see the fyord (or fiord) which is supposed to be spectacular. i'm very excited. also, note to sarah, you will like this place very much and you should come visit...maybe in July, like around the 18th...annie wants you for her birthday...we'll get you a ribbon, it'll be grand. I have to go to work again soon. sigh. sarah, we're gonna call you tonight...so err, if you're not gonna be home you can leave us a message!
