OMG! Craig took this picture of Sicle today and I can't believe how amazing it turned out! He's so very handsome! To think, I rescued him as a stray... all skinny and beat up. He's come a long way.

And so ends another weekend

I never used to live for the weekends so much... but things certainly have changed. So much of what seems to be my "true" life happens on the weekend. When I get to spend the most of my time with Sheay. Most of my time with Craig. "Quality" time. Not that the rest of the week is a void, but it certainly lacks the substance of the weekend.

We played dominoes, we visited and played with family, we cleaned and organized the Rattkins cage, Craig set up the basement to do some painting (and he painted too), we had "movie vader at home" (For those of you not up on the Sheay lingo, that means we made it all dark, had popcorn and snacks, and all sat down together to watch a movie none of us have seen), we tried Spelt and Kamut flour pancakes (wow, do they ever fill you up and stick with you!)

It was pretty grand.

And so, I believe I might post one more awesome picture, then toddle off to bed with my book (book 3 of the Twilight series -- yes, I know it is for teens. I still enjoy it).

Goodnight.

Hi this is Sheay with your Sheay news.This is me with my cousin Anna snowmobileing. I had to put a motorcycle helmit on. It was squishing my cheeks and ears. We went over a big bump and I went off my seat. We went around the house.And that is your Sheay news

Stand Up, knocked me right off my feet

And finally, here it is. A picture of me and Craig. Almost a year later... this was at my sister's house yesterday. Not too bad.... Joanna.... here ya go! mwah!

The Rat Who Started it All!

I can't resist. Since you (foolishly?) invited me to contribute I thought at the very least I ought to post a picture or some pictures of the rat who started it all! And here is the most handsome Chetters!

Sheay at work on "The Sheay News"

Here she is, hard at work over a hot computer keyboard. You can even see some of the blog in the picture!

I'm Just A Man, I'm Not A Hero

Well, for those of you who don't know me, I'm Craig.

I work at Paradigm Electronics, in their marketing department. They make high-end speakers. I can't afford one, but they tell me they sound real nice.

I studied fine arts at York Uni, and have a BFA. Woo hoo! I graduated from Sheridan College's Interpretive Illustration program. I guess I'm an artist. I freelanced for a year until I pissed my clients off and they stopped calling. I'm not bitter.

So now, I tend to doodle in my sketchbook a lot. I've a couple of jobs for friends of the nesting doll persuasion. The product turned out well, and I got paid. I'm grateful for that.

After all the pissing and moaning above, let me show you some stuff I've done...I think they're pretty cool. It's mostly doodles, random ideas I scribble down...but I'm pleased with them. Sit back, grab some popcorn. The show's about to begin...




































and so it ends...hope you enjoyed it!
