--Antoine de Saint-Exupéry: The Little Prince
I love this photo of me and Jamie. Please don't notice that I have the hands of a 90-year old -- thank you.
I was going to post all these cute photos of Jamie, but then I remembered those people who upon returning from their vacation come to your house and walk you through decks and decks of photographs of themselves wearing baseball hats, shorts and white socks, posing in front of everything they saw, everything they ate, down to the most excruciating detail and they have a 10-minute long narrative to go along with every single one of those photos, giving a whole new meaning to the phrase "A picture is worth a thousand words".
Well, I am totally guilty of that (except for the white socks and tourist shorts) when it comes to my cat Jamie and it is exclusively due to sheer self-discipline that I am not posting several pictures a day of the cutest fur ball ever to have graced the surface of Earth. Having Jamie has brought out the inner grandma in me: you ask me an innocent little question about him and the next thing you know I have talked you to sleep with the intricate details of his complex hair color and the difference in the decibel of his morning and evening meow's. Maybe it's a good thing I am not on Twitter, after all.
Promise me, you'll stop me at the first sign of me knitting Jamie a Christmas sweater, OK? I am a hair away I tell you.
Thanks everyone for stopping by.
Have a great week.
Agnes

I like the quotation Agnes....most of the time grown-ups tends to complicate things...
the hand only means that you are really hands-on :)
cute little Jamie :)

I laughed aloud at this!

Good Morning Agnes;
I'm in love with this little cat too. Somehow, he seems to have morphed from a cat to a full-fledged family member. He sort of expects to be taken seriously, has no self-consciousness, and always wants to be involved in whatever we're doing. And Agnes, you're beautiful.
Love
Geoffrey

It's okay to knit Jamie a sweater that can be the sweetest gift you can give him this Christmas.

Lovely photo of you and Jamie. My four cats are family, actually I like them better than my family...but I would never embarrass them with a sweater.

Game, game, we are all game for all the stories and intricate details. Go on please. I must say you possess amazing subtlety when it comes to sense of humour.
And the picture is just great grandma-esque.....

Hey Agnes. I would love to see your million pictures with Jamie and would love to hear all those details about Jamie. Go on....please go on. And yes your hands do not look like 90 year. You look very pretty. And do knit Jamie a sweater for Christmas.

90 year old hands? No.. but I'd say working persons hands.

OK, throw me a bone here -- how about an artist's hands?
Posted by: Agnes | July 27, 2009 at 11:28 PM
I am FOR knitting little Jamie a sweater. Definitely.

I just wandered in from BlogCatalog while searching for new and interesting blogs to read. I love that you are so honest, and candid. It's refreshing.
Greetings from the other side of the planet :)

Your hands look just fine. I like hands with small scars, small cuts, uneven nails even. It show that we are working doing doing stuffs! I can never understand these women with perfect long long nails. Don't they ever do the dishes???

90 year-old-hands? No...I don't think so.
Posted by: Andy | July 29, 2009 at 01:40 AM
Exactly, I agree with Andy.
Its not the hands of a 90 year old, but the hands of a creative person. Generally, when the fingers are long and thin and there is a certain elegance when you look at the way the hand sways - Oh, come on, its the hand of a creative person - just like me, hehehe !!!
