Thanksgiving 2010

No friends, no family, just a quiet time at home with hubby and cats and lasagna!! We went to bed early and I worked Friday early at 3:30 a.m. I did some solitary shopping and spent little and treated myself to a hot chocolate and came home....Not one for the books, except for the absolutely laugh out loud hilarious texts from my god-daughter....That made the day itself!! It's Saturday...a second helping of HP 7?? Maybe....Maybe this time I wouldn't have adults talking behind me and I could jump into the movie entirely.....Hmmmm...maybe...

HP 7

The best of the movies so far...No I am not changing the HP 6 widget...I love that pic, but 7, with all the symbolism, and the characters (and actors!) that have grown so much, is the best of the series so far...Six more months until the 2nd half and the end of the movies.... A long ride, but it was well, well worth the trip.

MN

Back from MN trip. Busy, Busy!!..Lots of flooding up North these days. I don't like detours so I was a little panicky about the whole thing. We were busy the whole short time I was there. Got my new book from my favorite author and got to visit my favorite book store!!! It was fun! They have a new dog that hangs out at the store and he is a lover!! Got cheese, forgot cheese:( and realized that my god daughter is truly a teenager (YIKES)!

Cat Bite City

Jeff has been bit, not once, but twice by my precious Wendell. It will end up costing us a lot of money between the emergency room visit, urgent health, antibiotics, and good old MD follow up. Oops, I am almost forgot suture removal at the emergency room. I love my baby Wendell, but cats have pitfalls...and we have been having a few...Still cheaper than cats and you can't beat the purrs....:)

Hot and Humid

Blah! These days are nasty with the humidity sky high along with the temps. Throw hot flashes into the mix and it is miserable!

Sucking Spit

I just like the way that sounds....I have had 2 delightful days at the clinic this week....busy, crazy, fun, frantic.....Just enough to wet the whistle (so to speak) without being on overload...A nice week....

Work Week

A new week begins!! Busy at the job M,W, T, F....New stuff so it should be a busy time!! In other news.....I can't seem to get caught up on my sleep and it is wearing, wearing me out....Hopefully I'll drop soon and be able to catch up!!!! :)

Hannah Turns 13

OMG (facebook talk, don't you know), my god-daughter is now 13...She has discovered boys, make up, and clothes....I think I am old!!

Time Flies

Time flies....I have indeed discovered Facebook and that has left me with a computer that tossed it's cookies and lost my pics!!! Don't worry hon, you don't need to copy them!! HA! Still am mad about that one...

Also, just did my 5 year cancer walk...Did it solo this time...It was quiet and not too exciting, but glad I went....

Work goes well.

My poor Eli is starting to feel his age....We will see what happens there...You know mommy...She is a definite worry wart.....

WHY OH WHY

I AM IN CAPITALS BECAUSE I AM UPSET...WHY OH WHY DOES EVERYONE IN THE WORLD WANT TO SHARE THEIR CAT STORIES OF HOW THEY ARE GOING TO GET RID OF THEIR CAT....IT'S NOT THAT THEY WANT ME TO TAKE IT...NO THE RESCUE LEAGUE ROUTE, ETC...BUT STILL...WOULD YOU GIVE AWAY YOUR KID FOR DISAGREEING WITH ITS SIBLINGS, FOR HAVING AN "ACCIDENT", ETC...IF NOT, THEN WHY WOULD YOU EVEN THINK OF GIVING AWAY YOUR ANIMAL...IT'S A LIFETIME COMMITMENT PEOPLE, NOT AN ONLY WHEN IT'S CONVENIENT...OTHERWISE, SERIOUSLY, HOW MANY OF YOU WOULD HAVE KIDS....I MEAN REALLY.....I DON'T WANT TO KNOW....I CAN'T TAKE THEM ALL IN.....AND I DON'T REALLY WANT TO KNOW THE DETAILS OF SOMEONE ELSE THAT I CAN'T SAVE...PEOPLE....I'LL KEEP MY CATS..

Sophie Eleanor

A not terrific picture of our now almost 6 month old addition to the family. Very cute, very vocal, very sweet little girl who's entered our large clavern....She is adorable!!

Hysterectomies

Not something I would recommend....the healing time was better than it was from cancer surgery, but....No energy, a nice scar, a hot temper, not to mention the hot body!! I got a total of 9 days of semi-recovery and the husband has decided that it is time to return to the real world, so much for the doctor recommended month...........Oh, and if the doctor says there will be no "shaving", don't believe them...They lie....:)

HP 6

Excellent!! Now we hurry and wait for 2010 and 2011!!

HP

Harry Potter 6 opens on Wednesday....The night before is midnight showing and it is sold out......I am thinking about Wednesday, but may wait....May wait and go to a nine o clock showing and hope to miss tons of kids...I am hoping they have it in more than one theatre. If so that will be ideal....I know I will get a good seating that way.....Two more days....WOW 2 MORE DAYS!

Harry Potter is Coming!!

9 days til Harry Potter....but who is counting?? ME!

Going Going Soon Will Be Gone

There is a family of geese that I have been watching this summer at our neighborhood pond. It's a mom and dad with 6 babies....They were adorable to watch the parents escorting the little wads of fur around the area.....then they were just plain cute to see 2 proud geese with this flock of in betweens trying to grow into their new fur and bodies.....and now, I saw them today, and they look just like their parents....mom or dad (who knows which) escorted them up the hill, slowly, and then stood guard while they ate clover....I watched 6 little geese derrieres as they munched on clover and the parent stood guard.... It was adorable.....They will be gone soon, and I know it and they are missed already....It was nice to watch them this summer....

Sick Kitties

A week of sick children and multiple vet trips. Eli is recovered from his dental cleaning and starting to act like his old self.
Wendell is still recovering from his urinary tract infection.
AND FINALLY THEY HAVE ALL STOPPED YELLING AT EACH OTHER....so life is getting better....my poor babies..

Books

Finished the new Prey book.....VERY VERY GOOD...Love John Sandford....He is the best....No, I'm not sharing BFF

Cat Grass Fever

My in-laws grew us some grass for the children....You can buy a tub of it at Wal-Mart and it takes a couple of days to grow and then you have munchies for kittens....I brought it home today and the boys devoured it. I left home for 15 minutes and counted 10 kitty barfs when I got back...Lucky they were all on the hard kitchen floor so it was wipeable, but still......They did enjoy it and that's what counts.....:) My kids, gotta love em...c
