Sticky Situations

He makes the cutest mommy sounds when he is nursing
We had an expensive ooopsie the other day.  Linda has this great set up in the den for her laptop, cords, chargers, and cameras.  It's a small bookshelf with wicker baskets separating each group of items.  She never has to go hunting for a cord or charger again. So she can take baby Chimmie's woobie-sucking photos, upload them and post without ever disturbing him (as you can see from this mornings photo.)  It's handy and a great solution except when she by accident knocked her coffee cup over.  It was one of those Starbucks travel cups with a tight lid, so it wasn't a huge mess, just a few spots on the carpet.  What she did not realize until the next day is that it dripped on the expensive camera!  Now the lens is sticky and won't open on it's own.  The only way the lens will open is if she uses her fingers to separate it, then it pops the rest of the way open.  She does not want to try to clean it out herself, so she is going to take it to a camera geek.
"How Dare YOU lock me in a room!"

  In other exciting news, there was a cat situation this morning.  Chip Cat was trapped in one of the downstairs bedrooms all night.  Linda must have shut the door and not realized she was hiding in there.  This morning she slept until 7:30 because her Kitty Alarm did not go off.  Her first thought was that Chip finally took a permanent nap.  Chip always comes for "Kitty-Kitty" because its the food call.  No sign of her.  Linda was afraid to go looking because she would have flipped out if she found her dead.  Then she heard a faint "meow" and knew she was just trapped somewhere....without a litter box.  Eww........
