Hey, Tuesday! Pig 'n a Poke!

[katysam]

Hello! Long time no write :)

I can't believe my birthday was a week ago. It doesn't seem that long ago but perhaps that's because it continued over this past weekend.

Friday night I went out to dinner with work!bff for my birthday and then we watched Supernatural 4x07. As much as I love the zany episodes, it was nice to get back to the serious issues at hand. It was also great to see Castiel back. I've missed that little guy!

Saturday afternoon my sister, Jenny, and her two kids, Samantha and Nicholas, dropped by with my birthday present which looked exactly like this:



They got me a little kitty!!!

Her name is Winchester, aka. Winnie, and she is adorable and cute and sooky and snuggly and soft and perfect!



She likes lying in the sun.


She likes sleeping.


She likes chewing on chair legs.


She likes stalking things.


And sometimes she forgets to put her tongue away.

Someone asked what I was going to call her and my nephew, Nicholas, piped up with, "I think it will be something to do with Supernatural".
Oh, man! Am I that predictable? ;)

At the minute, she's asleep on my chest, snuggled into my hoodie. I have a feeling she is going to make doing anything over the next few weeks very very difficult. :)

Saturday night I went to my friends Glenn and Tanya's place for dinner with them and Caz, Trent and Campbell.

About an hour after I got there Emma, Lisa, Scott and Ryan turned up - claiming 'they were in the neighbourhood. Half an hour later Jenny. Michael (my brother-in-law), Samantha and Nick turn up, followed shortly after by Mum and Dad. Glenn had arranged a 'reverse' surprise birthday party! Geoff, Genine, Stephanie and Daniel arrived a little while late too. It was an awesome night and I was so touched my friends went through all the trouble of arranging this for me. Apparently they started planning the party back in July! :D

They also spoilt me with more pressies - Country Music Channel DVD, Twizzlers, Goldfish (the cracker variety), Cookies'n'Creme Pop Tarts, things from Smiggle, two vouchers for Minotaur (a store that sells lots of Supernatural stuffs), and a cute mug and candle.

I think my birthday is well and truly over now. :)

Today was a public holiday in Melbourne because of The Melbourne Cup. The Melbourne Cup is a horse race.
So, yep, I didn't have to go to work because of horse race. \O/
I love my city!!!

Happy Tuesday everyone!
Vote well, USA Flisters.
Please. :)

Oh my God!! Winnie is sooooo cute!!! she's so beautiful!!

By the way.. I don't think you can call Castiel little guy.... *snicker*

[katysam.livejournal.com]

Awww, thank you. *beams* I think she is too!

Heehee! I meant 'little guy' in the sense that he's shorter than Dean and Sam. You aren't suggesting I should watch Castiel's parts scenes more carefully, are you? *grin*

[deluweil.livejournal.com]

*laugh* no that was not what I meant...

*groan* for some reason i'm getting the feeling that's what i'll do the next time i watch SPN...

[bloodyrosered.livejournal.com]

Winnie is adorable! I just love her already! At home I have 2 like her but a little bit bigger! Thanks for sharing those! Its really nice!

[katysam.livejournal.com]

Thank you! *beams* I'm very proud of little Winnie and more than happy to share photos of her.
I just hope you don't get sick of seeing her furry little face! ;)

[bloodyrosered.livejournal.com]

Naaah don't worry like I said I have 2 cats and I just love those animals.

[bobbinrob.livejournal.com]

awwwww Winnie is so so so cute and snuggly, what an awesome present!!! &hearts
weee extended birthdays ftw that sounds fabulous!
oh lucky, I had to work *pouts*
we do get double pay though so win :p
Happy Tuesday!
oh btw I was thinking we should book our room for April,, because things are going fast apparently, and about a Family Duplex here http://www.avonmoreonthepark.com.au/ would work, yes/no?

[katysam.livejournal.com]

She's a very awesome present.
However, she's been asleep all evening so I have a feeling she will wake up full of life very soon and will be running wild while I'm trying to get to sleep tonight. *grin*
That's a shame you had a to work today but yay for double pay! \O/
I'm glad you are thinking ahead to April! It still seems so far away. That place sounds nice and it's very close. I meant to reply to a post of yours when they announced the venue but got sidetracked. I've been to Moore Park a few times (for the Rugby League) but I've never stayed nearby. The closest I've stayed is Darlinghurst (Kings Cross) but I didn't think that would assist with a few people being allowed to go. ;)

Katy!
Winchester is beautiful! Such amazing green eyes, just like a certain Ackles. Or Padalecki for that matter. SERIOUSLY, SO ADORABLE. (You'll have to take a picture of her to Sydney so we can watch Jared gush over her. 'CUZ HE LOVES KITTIES TOO, RIGHT?)
I'm so glad you had a (surprise!) birthday bash with family and friends - you deserve it, sweetheart!
And how much do I love that we have a holiday for a horse race? MELBOURNE MUCH WIN.
♥ ♥ ♥

ETA: Those photos are so beautiful, Katy. I forgot to mention that, hee.

[katysam.livejournal.com]

Thanks Sian! Her eyes are beautiful. My sister said her eyes were one of the reasons she picked her :)
Haha! I'm sure Jared loves all kinds of animals.
The surprise birthday party was great. I'm extremely glad it was organised the way it was rather than a tradional 'Surprise Party' were everybody jumps out! I don't think I could have coped with that.
I hope little Winchester gets used to the camera because I'm sure there will be lots more photos taken of her.
♥ ♥ ♥

OMG Winnie is soooo adorable! i hope you plan on spamming us with plenty of pics ;)
and yay for your friends - what an awesome surprise party!

did you bet for the Cup?

just out of curiosity, if you could vote, who would you be supporting?

[katysam.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm glad you think she's adorable because, yep, I'm sure there will most definitely photo spammage of her! :D
My friends are ace. *beams*
I didn't bet on the Cup. I organised and went in a Melbourne Cup Sweep at work but didn't win anything. :(
If I could vote I'd vote for Obama. I'm following the election coverage online. It's all terribly exciting. :D

[vella-amor-dm.livejournal.com]

yaaay!! *bounces*

oh damn. mum did something similar at her work, and coz it was her b'day, she bet on number 4, which came in at 3rd, so she won something at least :D

me too! obama ftw!! i really hope he wins.
oh yeah! we get live coverage don't we? *turns on tv*

[thandie.livejournal.com]

OMG. I think she might actually be prettier than any of my cats...and they are very pretty! I desperately want to pet her.
Her eyes are so cooool!
*hugs you and kitty*

[katysam.livejournal.com]

She'd probably want to give you a big cuddle if you petted her. She loves being held by people. She's very sociable. :)

*hugs* <-- from me
*hugs* <-- from Winnie

[munibunny.livejournal.com]

OMG, she is adorable! ... Look at that fuzzy little face!

Yay! for unexpected parties and Yay! for days off. Oh, and Yay! for SPN because it makes the world go round!

[katysam.livejournal.com]

She's pretty cute, even if I do say so myself. I think I may be biased though ;)

There have certainly been lots of things to say 'YAY' for this past week! :D

[bananabehr.livejournal.com]

What a precious kitty! I'm so jealous, I need to get a new kitty. A nice one who will snuggle, unlike Max who I lovingly refer to as "asscat"!

Sounds like you had an amazing birthday celebration!

I wish I got days off because of a horse race. You win at life!

[katysam.livejournal.com]

Winchester really is a big sook. She has a perfectly good soft cosy basket but if she wants to sleep, she'll run over to someone and meow as if to say, "Pick me up and cuddle me. I'm tired and want to sleep." Within a couple of minutes she's fast asleep. :)

I think this year will go down as one of my best birthdays ever. :)

[blackbirdj2.livejournal.com]

I'm DYING here. I love kitties. I can't believe you got a kitty for your birthday. I WANT ONE TOO. ♥ OMG she is so cute! That first pic...she's gorgeous! ♥ And Winnie...PERFECT name! ;)

[katysam.livejournal.com]

I can't quite believe I got her either!
The first picture is now my wallpaper on my PC at work. Now I've just got to stop minimising everything every 10 minutes just so I can look at her :)

[angieb5.livejournal.com]

ZOMG! My cat's name is Winchester!!! Here's a picspam I did of her when my roommate and I got her from the Humane Society last year!

[katysam.livejournal.com]

OMG! I had no idea you had a cat called Winchester too! Your Winchester is gorgeous. I noticed you call her Winnie too :) I saw the photos of her in the Halloween outfits from last year. Did she dress up again this year, or was it just you and Dean!Bear? :)

[raputathebuta.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you had such an awesome birthday!!!!!!

OMG...Winnie is freakin' ADORABLE!!!!!!! She's just gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*smishes her*

Yay for the day off!!!!!!

Also? Twizzlers, FTW!!!!!!!!

[katysam.livejournal.com]

This year's birthday did turn out pretty awesome. :)
You know what? I think Winnie knows she's adorable. She is going to grow up to be the most undisciplined cat in the world. One look with those big green eyes and she gets her way. ;)

[raputathebuta.livejournal.com]

My Emma is like that. She's gorgeous & she freakin' KNOWS it!

All she needs is a little kitty tiara to complete her Pretty Pretty Princess routine. She's also a big brat.

[kros-21.livejournal.com]

LOL, it's always like that for me too...
my friends say that my bday always lasts for a month! LOL

OMG that's awesome!!! a kitty!!!!
she is beautiful... and those eyes....
of course smething SPN related... what did you come up with? :)

Keeps having fun hun.
*hugs*

[katysam.livejournal.com]

It's kind of funny because on the actual day of my birthday I just wanted it to be over and then it ended up being the longest birthday I've ever had! lol

She can get anything she wants with those eyes! She just has to look at me and she gets more food or played with or cuddled. :D

I've gone with 'Winchester' for her name but it's already been shortened to 'Winnie'.

*hugs*

[kros-21.livejournal.com]

LMAO! Winchester?
Hun... but that's not a very female name... :P
But Winnie is cute! XD

*hugs back*

[whimsywinx.livejournal.com]

Aww! Winnie is so cute!! As the owner of two former kittens let me warn you: Watch out for your bare toes!
