Trying to decide on a new name

Sara, Bebe and Iago have decided that they want their own bloggie, so I need some help from the Kittyverse.

Should we set up bloggies for each of them, or do one for the household?

Do you have suggestions for names for them?

I always liked AnniCat's Cafe, because it felt more like a community, should we stick with this and make it Kitty-perspective only? I've also thought about each of them having a "shop" like Bebe's Boutique to go with the Cafe.

What are your thinks, Cats of the Blogosphere?

Thursday Thirteen #5

Thirteen Toys/Games I Loved as a Kid

1. Sit & Spin – wheeeeeeeeeeeeee some things never change. LOL
2. Operation – there was definitely something missing in that man’s anatomy …just sayin’.
3. Simon – Drove my Mother crazy with that thing. ;-)
4. Shrinky Dinks – I wonder just what we inhaled when those things were baking?
5. Stretch Octopus - Like Stretch Armstrong, but a purple Octopus
6. Easy Bake Oven – I can’t believe that they turned it into a microwave and made it Pink!
7. Fashion Plates - Anyone else have these? The tops and bottoms interchanged and you put a piece of paper over them and rubbed a crayon over it to make different outfits.
8. Lite Brite – I love that this is still available for kids!
9. Barbie – I’ll admit it, Dammit!
10. Colorforms – TOO much fun!
11. Baby Alive – Man did that food stuff that you had to mix up STINK!
12. Strawberry Shortcake – and all of her smelly friends …
13. Books – I know that they aren’t toys or games, but it wouldn’t be a recap of my favorite things as a kid without books. I had a deep closet in my room and all of my clothes (obviously) were short, so my Mom set up a library in there. I had a lamp and pillows and all of my books lining the edges of the closet. I would sit in there for hours and read.

Thirteen Simple Things to help the Environment



1. Wash your clothes in cold water.
2. Turn off the lights when you leave the room (providing that no one is still in there *g*).
3. Use canvas bags when shopping instead of plastic.
4. Use paper bags when you shop if you forget your canvas bag.
5. Replace your light bulbs with high efficiency bulbs.
6. Don't let the water run while you brush your teeth.
7. Wash and re-use plastic containers, rather than throwing them away and filling landfills.
8. Support someone who is teaching how to live a greener/more eco-friendly lifestyle.
9. Keep your fridge and freezer filled so it runs more efficiently.
10. Keep your blinds/curtains drawn during the day in the summer to keep heat out, and open during the day in the winter to let light and heat in.
11. Consolidate errands to save gas and emit fewer carbons into the air.
12. Send an ecard for a birthday or holiday rather than a paper card, or make sure that the paper card that you send is either recycled or "tree free."
13. Read one eco-friendly tip a day to help create a healthier planet.

What tarot card are you?

Did this for fun. I like the kitty. *g*

You are The Star

Hope, expectation, Bright promises.

The Star is one of the great cards of faith, dreams realised

The Star is a card that looks to the future. It does not predict any immediate or powerful change, but it does predict hope and healing. This card suggests clarity of vision, spiritual insight. And, most importantly, that unexpected help will be coming, with water to quench your thirst, with a guiding light to the future. They might say you're a dreamer, but you're not the only one.
