Cat Tax Prep
WAFFLES: Whaddaya mean you can't deduct our toys on your taxes???
ELLIE: Glogirly says that's not how it works, Mr. Waffles. She also said you don't even know what a deduction is.
WAFFLES: I do too know what a deduct is.
ELLIE: You mean a deduction?
WAFFLES: That's what I said. And our toys should totally be a deduct. And our litter, and our food.
ELLIE: Glogirly said you also have to pay taxes to claim deductions. Do you pay taxes, Mr. Waffles?
WAFFLES: PAY?? You mean like with real money and stuff?
WAFFLES: This whole tax thing is no fun at all.
About Today's Photos
Last week Glogirly had just started on her taxes and this past weekend, with the help of Waffles and Ellie, she finally finished. Ellie was more of a bystander, but Waffles was very much into the paperwork aspect of it all. He even wedged himself into Glogirly's office chair while she was working in it. That is until he realized that tax prep is not nearly as much fun as he'd hoped.

ELLIE: Mr. Waffles, I'm supervising Glogirly while she works on her taxes. Do you want to help?
WAFFLES: Kind of busy, Ellie. There's no sun over there either.
ELLIE: Yeah, but there's a pretty awesome cat tree.
WAFFLES: Have at it, Ellie. I'm busy.
ELLIE: You don't look busy, Mr. Waffles.
WAFFLES: It takes a lot of skill to not look busy when I'm this busy.
About Today's Photos
April 15 is fast approaching, so when Glogirly isn't skiing, she's prepping her taxes. And that means a LOT of supervision on Ellie's part. Until there are bank statements and receipts cluttering the floor and bags of paper to climb into, Waffles is taking a back seat in the sun.

Waffles in Wait
About Today's Photos
Whenever Glogirly is out skiing and the time approaches mid-afternoon, Waffles takes to his post to wait for her. He sits on the back of the sofa where he has clear view of the clock AND clear view of the road coming down to the house. He can see the Jeep come down the big hill, and then he knows Glogirly's home. Once she walks through the door from the garage with her boot bag and jacket, he gives her a very serious talking to!
Rescue Mission: Cat Ears
This is Glogirly with her cat-loving friend, Barbara. They try to get out and ski together twice a week. Always with their cat ears! Last week though, they had to embark on a rescue mission to hunt for one of Glogirly's ears. She lost it when they were skiing in the trees. The ears attach with strong magnets and one had apparently popped off when she brushed against some branches while skiing between a couple of tightly spaced trees. So they retraced their steps. It took three chairlifts and two black diamond runs to get them to the spot where they entered the trees. Slowly, they repeated their path, following their own ski tracks. And right where the tree branches were hanging low, there was a tiny black speck peeking out of the snow.
Their rescue mission was a success! Glogirly once again had her helmet ears and all was right in the world.

Couch Cats
ELLIE: Hey, Mr. Waffles. This blogging stuff is hard work, isn't it?
WAFFLES: Zzzz. Hard. Very Hard. Zzzz.
ELLIE: So what do you think we should blog about today?
WAFFLES: I don't know, Ellie. I'm kind of busy.
ELLIE: We should come up with a funny story, Mr. Waffles. Will you tell me a story? Mr. Waffles???
WAFFLES: Zzzz...
ELLIE: Mr. Waffles, you keep saying the same thing over and over.
WAFFLES: Zzzz???
ELLIE: This coming up with funny stories is hard work, Mr. Waffles. And you're not really helping. You're just SLEEPING. Why do you keep sleeping so much?
WAFFLES: Because I'm a cat? You really should try it.
ELLIE: Try being a cat???
WAFFLES: No, try sleeping.
ELLIE: Well....ok. I'll try.
ELLIE & WAFFLES: Zzzzzzzz....
About Today's Photos
Glogirly was trapped over the weekend. Trapped on the sofa with her laptop and two cuddling cats. In other words, a PURRfect day.

While the Kitties Sleep –
Glogirly took full advantage of the beautiful Colorado mountains this past week. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. She spent every day at our local ski area, Eldora Mountain Resort. It's just a quick 30 minutes from home so it's practically like driving to the grocery store. Except way more fun.
(Yes, we know this is a CAT blog and not a ski blog...but we did lead off with a pretty cute Ellie-Waffles photo. Thanks for indulging Glogirly.)
Winter wonderland @10,800 feet!
Going UP!
Ski like a CAT girl!
Don't look down!
Yes, Glogirly dared take her phone out of her pocket while on the chairlift. (!)
The snow AND the view was magical. This is looking down towards the quirky little town of Nederland, Colorado.

Christmas in January with the Family
WAFFLES: I'm on guest bed duty, Ellie. You're on your own. ...Ellie??
ELLIE: And I'm on play duty, Mr. Waffles. This is WAY more fun than a boring guest bed.
WAFFLES: BORING??? Do I look bored?
ELLIE: Well you kind of do, Mr. Waffles.
WAFFLES: This is my nonchalant mancat centerfold pose, Ellie.
ELLIE: Do you even know what nonchalant is, Mr. Waffles?
WAFFLES: Well not really, but I'm sure it's got something to do with super handsome.
ELLIE: LOLOLOL!!
WAFFLES: Are you LOL-ing me, Ellie??
ELLIE: Who, me?
Christmas in January
Glogirly and Gloman's son and daughter-in-law flew into Colorado from Minnesota late last week for a belated Christmas celebration. Waffles took FULL advantage of the gift bags and tissue.
And when we say full, we mean full!
Ellie got in on the paper fun too.
A big highlight for Glogirly was taking Gabe and Justina to Arapahoe Basin for some fun on the snow! This is the first time they've skied and snowboarded together. And for sure, not the last!
