Reader Suzi is having problems seeing the pictures and title graphic on my site. Is anyone else having problems? And does anyone have any suggestions as to what’s going on? Leave any suggestions in the comments, please.

It’s incredibly freakin’ early, and the spud and I are about to leave for the airport. Have I mentioned that we’re going to Maine for 9 days? Suddenly it occurs to me that I haven’t said a thing about it, which is strange because it’s been on the forefront of my mind as I spent most of yesterday rushing around packing and doing laundry and vacuuming like a madwoman (you don’t EVEN want to know how much crap I got off my stairs with the Dyson yesterday morning. Blech. Also, it’s been a year since I got the Dyson, which I still love and adore. Happy first birthday, little Dyson, and thanks for all the cat hair you’ve sucked out of my carpet!) We’re flying Independence Air which, I am told, is about to start bankruptcy proceedings. Loovely. As long as they get my ass there and back first, they can go bankrupt all the live-long day. I had thought that I would bring the laptop with me and do an entry every day, since I’m doing the 31 Days thing and the Holidailies thing, but I just don’t want to drag that freakin’ laptop through the airport, I don’t want to have to deal with my father’s dial-up connection, so I’ve decided I’m going on vacation, and I won’t be messing with any damn computers. ‘Cause I deserve a break today, you know? I’ll be back in Alabama on the 6th, and it’s possible that there might be an entry up the next day, but I wouldn’t count on it. Don’t get worried until the 10th (day after my birthday! Birthday cake! Whee!) has come and gone and I haven’t posted an entry. At that point, you have my full permission to start bugging Fred, but until then, be patient. I’ll be back, with ten thousand pictures, and a bunch of stories, I’m sure. I do have a buttload of cat pictures for you. Let’s see if this puts you in the mood for a nap, huh? (Behave yourselves, and I’ll see you on the flip side!)
“Come give me a kiss, beautiful.” Booger and the ladybug. Doesn’t he have gorgeous eyes? You don’t impress him much. “One day Daddy will let me get the toy…” Talk about your long-suffering look! Clearly, all that yawning wore him out.
