Oops… It’s a Boy!
It’s a good thing that I had the kidz in hospital, because they might have grown up into very confused adults.
Why? I hear you ask (go on, ask).
Because I have made a grave error in the sex of our recently aquired stray cat, Kitty Camper.
That’s right, she is a he, and I had no idea that I was so far off base.
Luckily, the cat seems to have suffered no dire consequences from the mix-up, and the kidz aren’t too traumatized, either.
Who made the discovery? (yes, that’s you asking another question).
It was the vet. I finally got around to taking her… erm, him in for a check-up last week. Wren & Mr Bump came along to see what went on.
They were as surprised as I was to discover that the cat that they’ve been calling ‘Kitty Camper’ and ‘Princess’ is more of a ‘Prince’.
Renaming became imperative.
You can imagine the damage to his street-cred with a name like ‘Kitty Camper’, not to mention the other…
Might as well give him a pink fluffy collar, call him ‘Mr Campy’ and enter him in the Mardi Gras next month.
After a number of suggestions, I thought of ‘Mr Underfoot‘, the cat in Friday, one of my favourite Robert Heinlein books.
The kids think it’s hilarious, and call him ‘Undies’ for short.
It’s a slight improvement.
Now I just have to hide Mr Bump’s pink Barbie dress before he starts school…

What’s a Girl To Do?
Last night was just the worst night for blogging.
I’ve been putting off upgrading Wordpress to the next version for a few weeks, but put it down to being too focused on writing for my blog.
Turns out that it may have been a premonition.
Tonight I decided to bite the bullet and just do it, as Nike say. I backed up the appropriate files, made a copy of the theme I’m using and followed all the instructions ~ or so I thought.

Do you sign your name “Use a different account”?
I do. It’s the “in” thing around the blogosphere at the moment.
Want to join in? It goes like this.
You visit a blogger um, blog.
You read something really serious and sad and feel like crying for the poor woman.
You write a heartfelt response and sign it “take care of you”.
Then you enter the kfhdfhd word verification code and hope you read it correctly this time.
Underneath, your blogger account name is on display, but you choose the option where you can enter your name & URL instead.
Window Clings Recipe ~ Beware! Failed Project!
A friend told me that you can easily make the paint for window-clings by mixing pvc glue with a drop of food colouring.
I have to say that my own experience was less than pleasing, so I think I’ll stick (excuse the pun) with the store-bought products. Perhaps her pvc glue is expecially thick? And she must use some other sort of plastic backing, because I couldn’t peel them off at all.
I’ll give her instructions here in case you can get it to work ~by all means, please let me know if you do!
