Happy Birthday, Missy!

Hey! Yesterday was MISSY'S BIRTHDAY! Yay! We were out celebrating so I didn't have a chance to post about it until now (happy belated birthday wishes, then)...The BIRTHDAY BALLOON with all the CUPCAKES above is a balloon that Missy designed for work...chances are, when you go into your local grocery store and look up at all the balloons they have at the gift and flower area, you are looking at balloons that were designed in our office...and some of those balloons were actually drawn and designed by Missy!

Car Cat

So, yesterday was Missy's BIRTHDAY (Happy Birthday, Missy!)...Missy celebrated early last week by getting herself a BRAND NEW CAR! She traded in her old silver VOLKSWAGEN BUG and luckily, was able to get full Bluebook value for it. Missy had bought the Bug used five years ago, and little things started to bug her (no pun intended) about it in the last couple of years - the headliner started to sag; the previous owner had owned a dog, and you could see scratches on the interior; lately, the power windows needed a little "help" getting back up into a closed position. Other than those little things, the car was in excellent condition, hence the fact that she was able to get full trade-in value.

Towards the end of Labor Day Weekend, Missy and her parents went out and then, to my surprise, came home with a 2010 YARIS. It is the first "brand new" car that Missy had ever owned...



The Yaris has funny details like the instrument panel being smack dab in the middle of the dash. It's taking some getting used to! But then it also has cool little features, like a bottle holder that folds down in front of the vents, so that the air conditioning can help keep your cold drinks cool...





Later on that night, Missy and her mom went outside to paint a new shelf they were going to put up...they heard a cat meowing, but couldn't see where it was. Then they noticed that it was STUCK UP ON OUR ROOF! The little gray kitty from a couple of doors down found a way onto our roof and got stranded. So Missy grabbed our ladder and went up to save the cat, who climbed onto her back as she was descending...it was an eventful day...

Nilla Ninety-Seven: Big Cat in a Little Box

Today Nilla could not resist squeezing her body into this tiny box. She even rolled around in it many times before deciding on the perfect napping position! She is so silly.

Bad Movie Night

Our friend, co-worker, and former roommate, Matthew, runs the once-a-month BAD MOVIE NIGHT at CINE, Athens' local art house theatre. We spent the evening pressing ONE INCH BUTTONS for him to give away this coming Wednesday. Matthew had leant us his button press a while ago and we are partially returning the favor by pressing his designs for him. The featured movie this month is the action-packed DEADLY PREY. If you're in Athens this Wednesday evening and you're looking for something different (and FREE!) to do, then this might fit the ticket. For more information, check HERE and be sure to check out the MOVIE TRAILER that Matthew put together below...
