OK, I don’t spend all of my time thinking about tornadoes! I think is is– what– my third post on them?! I talk more about tornadoes than all the snow we get around here! But I do have a fascination with them. I would be a tornado chaser if I didn’t have children. ;)

I found this stunning video of a huge, huge, supersized tornado. Two crazy guys chased this baby that landed in Manitoba. Those little sticks you see? Those are power lines.

The tornado swirls and swirls, and bobs up and down constantly. It finally spurns off three small ones at its base. It’s incredible to see. The video has no swearing, either, so it’s safe for kids.

I just cannot understand why people live in tornado-prone areas! Wow! It would be far too stressful to me!

I have a daughter turning 18 soon (I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT) and another who is a boot nut. lol. That came out funny. It means she loves boots. Not the uncomfortable, high-heeled, Mary Poppins boot that all the “in” girls are wearing (and mangling their feet in)– leather style Minnetonka boots! Isn’t this style absolutely GORGEOUS?! Where did I find such boots? InfinityShoes.com! They have tons and tons of the most beautiful styles, all at excellent prices (free shipping for orders over $59.95!). The Minnetonka is only a smidgen of examples of very classy shoes. I love the Seychelles shoes (check out the boot and sneakers in plaid! so cool!) and the eldest daughter would just love stuff from the Tsubo shoes collection (especially the “Paros” style– nice!). They also have Birkenstock, Keds, Timberland, and a large, eclectic collection of Miz Mooz styles. You have to see them to believe them. And can you believe they also have mukluks and rain galoshes?! lol!

InfinityShoes is located in New York City, but buying their shoes online is a breeze with their easy shopping cart at their website. They also have a size chart for your convenience. Everything is shipped UPS! Ladies, there’s no excuse for not having beautiful feet. InfinityShoes.com has a shoe for every lady, every style.

Good grief! Is it just me, or does it take horrendously long to upload a video to YouTube these days? I have noticed that it takes 2- 3x longer to upload a measly video! Maybe I should try out Flickr’s new video feature.

Anyway, the kids wanted me to take a video of their kooky cat, Fuzzy. He’s quite the clown. My husband says h acts so strangely because he was taken away from other kittens at such a young age (4 weeks).

My son, inspired by Daisy the Curly Cat, bought some Temptations and catnip. I have to admit, I’d had my doubts about how tempting Temptations really are. I thought it was just that Daisy was a well-trained cat. She is probably a well-trained cat, but WHOA HEY, Fuzzy loves those Temptations! Maybe we can even train him! I doubt he’ll acquiesce to wearing pink bed jackets… but we can always try.

Here’s a little video of Fuzzy testing out catnip for the first time. Weirdness, feline style.
