Is my kitty trying to kill me?

Cute quiz I found on one of my friend’s LJ pages. I wonder if it will be Ambush, Stella, or Kiesha who might try to do me in? Probably Stella. No one would expect Stella… Related Images:

Hairstyles in Ancient Greece and Rome

After the riding lesson on Tuesday, I scheduled an extra lesson to fit the dressage saddles I’d located. I want to make sure whichever saddle I choose fits not only me, but also Isis. A new (or used) saddle is a big investment (“cheap” means under $500)....
