Just about broke my heart. Since then he's really settled down and is fine if we leave him alone for a few hours.<br /><br />To make sure he's ok when I leave, I like to occasionally set up the video camera and see what he does while we're gone. He wanders around a little, sniffs the air occasionally but mostly he sleeps by the front door until I come home. <br /><br />Normally the camera is on the floor by the front door... but this time I set up the camera on the couch instead of the floor so I could see more of him as he wanders around...<br /><br />This is "<span style="font-style: italic;">The Fergus</span>" couch... a small vintage couch that needs to be re-covered... but until then Fergus has re-claimed it as <span style="font-style: italic;">his </span>couch to snuffle, sleep, roll around on, rub himself and wipe his face on when he's feeling frisky.<br /><br /><object width="225" height="150"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gjdUklDgDYM"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gjdUklDgDYM" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="300" height="250"></embed></object>Sarah Kramerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08804868197781821005noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272527829919399532.post-85955084434403292222006-12-29T04:57:00.000-08:002010-12-08T08:50:57.981-08:00Everyone is a fracking tattoo artist now...I saw this advertised on tv a while back and I knew immediately <a href="http://www.toysrus.ca/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&catalogId=10051&langId=-1&productId=102869">I HAD to have it</a>.

All 13 hour long episodes plus the 3 hour mini-series. It was the best x-mas ever!!<br /><br />I wasn't sure I would like it... because I LOVED <a href="http://www.battlestargalactica.com/classicguide.htm">the original</a> when I was a kid, but within the first 10 minutes of the show I was soooo into it. The casting is fantastic. <a href="http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Gaius_Baltar">Gaius Baltar</a> is my favourite character and the actor who plays him is perfect. The best part is that they film the show in Vancouver, so there are a bunch of Vancouver actors in the show and a lot of the locations are familiar. They even use a <a href="http://bcferries.com/">BC ferry</a> as a set for part of the space-ship. Pretty funny.<br /><br />I'm such a sci-fi geek.<br /><br />They don't swear on the show, but they use <a href="http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Frack">FRACK</a> instead of F**K and now I can't stop saying frack. I'm so fracking happy. Frack you! What the frack are you talking about? I bet you could even say "frack" in front of your Gramma and not get in trouble.<br /><br />Try it and lemme know if you get smacked or not. :)Sarah Kramerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08804868197781821005noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272527829919399532.post-71850668285821541122006-12-24T09:35:00.000-08:002010-12-08T08:50:58.003-08:00Baby it's cold outside...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3718/1416/1600/456004/sarahfergus001.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3718/1416/320/957749/sarahfergus001.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Sarah Kramerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08804868197781821005noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272527829919399532.post-79980746111037687022006-12-24T02:21:00.000-08:002010-12-08T08:50:58.017-08:00Whatever...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3718/1416/1600/950753/l_bc891e0c29168c0f71645eecf66b2d8c.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3718/1416/320/391411/l_bc891e0c29168c0f71645eecf66b2d8c.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> Ho ho ho... whatever. <br /><br />Have a good one to all of you who celebrate.

Gerry says I'm always a tattoo baby but today I just wasn't in the mood. I was ready to kill him by the time he was done.<br /><br />I've been laying low lately cause this weather is KILLING ME! The rain the rain the rain the rain the rain. I'm sick of wet socks and damp parka's. Enough already.<br /><br />I've been sooo busy working on my computer since I got back from Vancouver for the burlesque festival. I have been going through and editing some of the 2000+ photos I took during the weekend. It's exhausting but fun work. I've put a few photos up at <a href="http://www.sarahkramerphotography.com">SarahKramerPhotography.com</a> and my new <a href="http://www.myspace.com/sarahkramerphotography">photo myspace</a> page. I'm hoping I'll have the rest of my shots edited and up by the end of the week. Lemme know what you think.<br /><br />I also did a fun shoot with <a href="http://www.myspace.com/missbunnyruffles">Miss Bunny Ruffles</a> last Saturday and I'm so pleased with how they came out. She was a doll to work with.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3718/1416/1600/96221/1540169039_l.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3718/1416/320/557273/1540169039_l.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3718/1416/1600/728980/1541464789_l.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3718/1416/320/758929/1541464789_l.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3718/1416/1600/18987/1545126851_l.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3718/1416/320/36389/1545126851_l.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Sarah Kramerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08804868197781821005noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272527829919399532.post-51758731434628242642006-12-07T03:25:00.000-08:002010-12-08T08:50:58.490-08:00Jessicurl<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.jessicurl.com/skin1/images/jesscover.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px;" src="http://www.jessicurl.com/skin1/images/jesscover.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>OK ladies and gents!<br />Those of you with curly hair need to pay attention.<br /><br />For the last month I've been using <a href="http://www.jessicurl.com/">Jessicurl products</a> and I FREAKING LOVE THEM!!

Thought I'd share...<br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><br />I just had to tell you that i made the Groovy Garden<br />Vegetable Casserole from <a href="http://www.govegan.net">LDV</a>, thinking i would make it<br />for myself and have the rest for leftovers. My mom<br />came into the kitchen and asked to try it, and she<br />LOVED it. This is the woman who is terrified of tofu<br />or anything vegan. I don't have a food processor<br />anymore, so the topping was sorta chunky bread and<br />tofu, but still really good. My mom wants me to make<br />it as the stuffing for Thanskgiving next year. Too<br />funny!<br /><br />I thought you'd enjoy this little tidbit about a<br />meat-eater who loved a LDV recipe :)<br /><br />Love, leigh! </span>Sarah Kramerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08804868197781821005noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272527829919399532.post-35514882714696661782006-12-04T03:54:00.000-08:002010-12-08T08:50:58.519-08:00Photo ContestWell...<br />I had 2 photo entries. *laugh*<br />You people are so lazy.<br /><br />So Sudzgirl & Kristy's entries are the winners!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://static.flickr.com/99/309962190_ea0084c628.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://static.flickr.com/99/309962190_ea0084c628.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://static.flickr.com/99/309962190_ea0084c628.jpg"></a><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3718/1416/1600/1403900125_l.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3718/1416/1600/1403900125_l.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.davidibrahim.com/">Photo byDavid Ibrahim</a></span><br /></div><br />Steve from <a href="http://www.leftfeet.ca">Left Feet</a> was kind enough to give me 2 Left Feet t-shirts and 2 beautiful scarfs that his Mum knit, so ladies <a href="mailto:sarah@govegan.net">send me your mailing address</a> and I'll send you your prizes!<br />xoxo<br />SARAHSarah Kramerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08804868197781821005noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272527829919399532.post-84437124662066746942006-12-03T13:29:00.000-08:002010-12-08T08:50:58.528-08:00me so tired...I am in love with all my <a href="http://www.capitalcitycheesecake.com">Capital City Cheesecake</a> girls!!

Even though no-one<br />else in my family is vegan, they all loved everything<br />I made, including roasted root vegetables, mashed<br />potatoes, gravy, haricorts vert with almonds, extra<br />stuffing, cranberry relish, pumpkin pie,<br />apple-cranberry crisp and ginger cookies - all vegan,<br />all yum.
