In Praise of Plavala

This is The Diva Plavalaguna, she is a character from the movie The Fifth Element by Luc Bisson.



This is Plava laguna, it seems to be a chain of high end resorts in Croatia. Plava Laguna means Blue Lagoon. This is actually just one of the many hotels and resorts, in the chain.



This is my Plavalaguna. She is a 3 1/2 month old ruby-eyed white English Angora. Last weekend I brought her to her first show. The competition was fierce but my little beauty hopped away with two 1st place wins. She needs only one more win to get, as a senior (over the 6 month age mark), and then she'll become a Grand Champion.
I'm so proud of her...that and think of all the fibre I'll get off her when she is finished her days as a beauty queen.


Until next time

Dust, Doghair and Dirt

Cleaning is all my life seems to be comprised of at this moment. I continually ask myself why and isn't there more to life than this. Surely there must be some reason for this never ending cycle of the house getting dirty and me having to clean it.

Perhaps it's to achieve some higher plane of existence? Perhaps I will discover the meaning of life as I clean while I'm being undervalued, unaided and unappreciated by my family? Perhaps I will uncover the great secrets of life, the universe and everything else as I attempt to remove this triple threat from my very existence?

I'll let you know after I clean up these bottles that came the other day and are cluttering up my kitchen counter.



Until next time
